Opinions? Is cultural appropriation a load of bull or hypocritical

It's fucking bullshit. I'm a liberal artsy fartsy faggot too, but this is some over the top, so-open-minded-their-brain-fell-out, college snowflake bullshit.

niggers have never and will never have a "culture" they are animals that speak our language nothing more... case in point... the groilla in the San Fransisco zoo that knows sign language... if shes so smart why not let her go and give her a social security number and a drivers license? i'll tell you why not... CAUSE SHES JUST A FUCKING GORILLA!

adjective
adjective: appropriate

1. take (something) for one's own use, typically without the owner's permission.

Culture isn't property. If it is property, it's intellectual property that lies in the public domain, and cannot be stolen, because you already own it, collectively, with everyone else on the planet.

But, the next best thing to owning something is convincing everyone that you own, even thought you don't.

What I'm saying is, the Japanese are going to keep playing baseball, and I'm going to keep practicing kendo, and anyone who doesn't like it can go pound salt.

Not my style of music, but they are decent musician.

Am I supposed to be upset they are not Jamaican? Am I supposed to be upset if I see a black string quartet?

A couple of white guys with dreadlocks in California decided to start a Bob Marley impersonation band and don the Jamaican flag and put on Jamaican accents despite not being Jamaican, or even black. Yeah it's a bit cringy, what's your point? Asian people "appropriate" White culture every time one picks up a violin.

its more the white dudes with dreadlocks mimicing jamaican accents and think theyre rastas. not asking if youre upset or not, just what you think.

I dont care about a black string quartet because blacks have been used for our entertainment for a couple hundred years. string quartets dont typically write their own music. plus, assimilation =/= appropriation.

I didnt have a point, I was just curious what you thought.
its clear that band is doing "cultural appropriation," I just wondered if it made you as uncomfortable as it made me.

I suppose it might make me feel a little uncomfortable that so many white people are getting less and less interested in their own cultural heritage and need to identify so strongly with someone else's. Makes me wonder if white culture even exists anymore. But that's not me giving a shit about whether or not this band pisses off any black people.

You asked what I think. I answered the question. You don't like the answer, I've got some salt for you to pound if you don't have any of your own. I'll give it to you.

/salt's pretty cheap, just like these "cultural appropriation" arguments.

I want to punch a whiney SJW in the face everytime I hear that phrase.
Fight for equality, acceptance, and inclusion, but then whine for segregated space, special priveleges, and isolation.
Fucking morons.
Right to the face...

Not in the slightest. If guys playing music trigger you, then you're the problem, not the musicians. I'll let the people decide the worth of their music. If you don't like it, no one's making you listen. If you don't like seeing it, no one's making you watch.
