Great self-aggrandizing opening statement.Your memes are generally very meh and, for instance in this thread, boil down complicated topics into a simplicity convenient for uneducated whites.
However, this is one issue on which I can firmly side myself with white warriors. The "cultural appropriation" claim is by and large stupid, whiny, and void of any sociological substance. Cultures blend. What they call "stealing" is natural and a level of pop cultural recognition absolutely necessary for black musicians to have any financial success.
I can maybe get on board with the claims about that Ziggy girl. I don't know if it qualifies as "cultural appropriation," but a white Australian purposefully parodying a lower class African American accent is really weird.
Why wouldn't they focus on the most privileged group? Would that be anti-Semitic?
are you upset to be unfairly stereotyped?It would be nice if the SJW crowd would stop using men/whites at the absolute pinnacle of privilege (top 1%~) as a representation of the entire white population.
.
So a school is teaching students that a person from a historically disadvantaged race still faces hurdles while a person from the historically advantaged race does not have to deal with the same negative baggage .
"White guilt" is a loaded term; the school is just using a cartoon to get the above point across.
What next, maybee schools shouldn't teach children about what Native Americans went through.
Most Blacks (here) are descended from Slaves.
Even if you came here as 1st gen immigrant, if you aren't Black, you don't have the negative baggage they carry. Natives have their own negative baggage but aren't viewed with the same disdain as Blacks.
You are looking at it all wrong when you think it is about "connections". It is about societal perceptions and problems emmanating from socio-economic standing.
I truly believe, beyond hyperbole, that these type of events are attempts to test the waters and gauge the potential backlash from such rhetoric.
The more it is tolerated and accepted is a signal that the US is prepared for full on apologist reform.
can you say 'reparations'?
get out your checkbooks, whiteys.

I didn't bring up connections, the video did. Is it the top 1% who we're supposed to hate or is it white people, or maybe both? More blacks have come here voluntarily since the abolition of slavery than were ever brought here during. Murder, violent crime, and child illegitimacy are not the result of some imaginary "baggage", it's the result of a shit culture with no accountability. Please give me an example of something that black people could do wrong that you don't think is the fault of white people?Most Blacks (here) are descended from Slaves.
