Why isn’t “Hamilton” cultural appropriation?
Time for the university to create a Marcus Garvey memorial movement.
All living cultures borrow from each other.
The only pure cultures are dead cultures.
Ignore, ignore, ignore....they’ll get over it.
ANYTHING is cultural appropriation!
Spiritual Songs are derived from Scottish Presbyterian plain songs.
As one of largely Scots descent I give them permission.
Imitation USED to be the sincerest form of flattery. Not any more, I suppose.
Really?

Oh, how I wish it would go like this:
Liberal: That’s cultural appropriation!
Person: So what? If you don’t like it, look away.
Liberal: I’m telling you, that’s cultural appropriation.
Person: Shut up.
Why are these kids in trouble over this, but it was ok for Hillary to drawl in a mocking way a black accent, when she drawled that she didn’t feeeel nooooo. Waaaays. Taaarrd. She did that in a black church, and got a standing ovation from black ministers and congregation for her hatchet job on a Negro spiritual.
The Negro Spiritual: GO DOWN MOSES, is from the ancient Jew’s point of view, yet blacks sang it as their own anti-slavery song. Wanna talk about “appropriation” writ large?
Well.
The next time I see a black guy enjoying Bach or Mozart, I’m going to have a righteous fit!
Well, I guess this means Swannee Ribber is out.
Maybe I have a comprehension problem, or logic and I are old foes, but there’s something that I don’t understand:
If “diversity” enriches us as a society, how can it be a bad thing to adopt some of the culture from other ethnic and racial groups. Seems like quite the contradiction to me...kind of like if white privilege is really a thing, why did Elizabeth Warren pretend to be an Indian for several decades?
Eating ANY type of Italian or Chinese food is cultural appropriation.
Anybody who can only be recognized by their teeth at night and are seen eating these foods should be arrested.
And no, I don’t want to appropriate food from the collard green, fried chicken eating, corn bread sucking mothers.
I’m good with my Italian food, thanks.
Every race must be restricted to their own culturals? sounds like segregation.
This insanity has to stop.
To all people in positions of authority, when you are asked to “cancel” someone because of cultural appropriation:
Just. Say. No.
The worst thing is that we live in a time where someone as stupid as this gets mentioned on a “news” site.
No more watermelons, tapdancing or banjo music for white folks.
How idiotic.
“University accused” = one malcontent on Twitter.
