Libs Gone Insane: Cultural Appropriation, the Ultimate Sin
CNS News ^ | 16 September 2016 | Dan Gainor

The Foes Of Faux Pho: Bon Appétit’s readers might have noticed a recent piece that was originally called: “PSA: This Is How You Should Be Eating Pho.” The story included a video of Philadelphia’s Stock chef Tyler Akin. Stock serves Southeast Asian food and Tyler has a problem, he’s white. The video showed how he eats Pho. And that’s a no-no. The HuffPo thought police responded with, “Why The Outrage Over Bon Appétit’s Pho Article Is Completely Justified.” Not just “justified,” but “completely justified.” They proceeded to quote every idiot they could find who was angry that a white guy might be an expert in something that white people didn’t invent. One site even called it “whitesplaining.” Bon Appétit went grovelling and responded “how we screwed up and what we can do about it.” Actual quote: “While Akin mentions in the video that he’s demonstrated his personal, preferred way of consuming pho, the outlet’s packaging still positioned him as an authority.” This is America 2016. It’s controversial to have a white chef make ethnic food. But no one on the left refuses to use electricity or the telephone because scary old white men were involved in their invention.

Dying To Get Your Death Suit: Forget the coffin. Skip that pair of pennies on your eyes, those aren’t recyclable. No, you need an environmentally friendly death suit. It’s only $999. You only wish I was kidding. The whackjobs who brought you Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth produce all sorts of lefty propaganda. Their site Take Part wants your whole life -- even your death -- sustainable. I’ll let the author’s actual quote help me out. “With the rise of electric cars, sustainable architecture, eco-friendly diets, composting, and countless other options, forging a sustainable life is often as easy as it is trendy. Now it’s even easy after death thanks to a bodysuit made from a decidedly old-school material: mushrooms.” But wait, there’s more! Your death suit isn’t just a way to turn your carcass into a mushroom farm, it’s fashionable, too! Actual quote: “Although the mushroom suit provides a cost-effective alternative, the goal is to do so without losing the beauty of the process. The suit itself is a work of art thanks to designers such as Daniel Silverstein, who has designed clothing for Jennifer Hudson and Kristen Bell.” And you thought you were only kidding when you said you were dying to wear clothes just like the stars.

Does that mean only whites should be allowed to drive cars, ride in airplanes or use electricity?

Who died and made liberals the arbiters of our cultural norms? These are people who wouldn't know a principle if it kicked them in the teeth. And we're going to let THEM decide what's acceptable and not in OUR society????

Not any more.

Yes. So, people of color who play for MLB are guilty of the same sin?

Let’s not forget the corpse-to-compost tower the nut jobs in Seattle want to build.

Pho was a Vietnamization of French cuisine.

Anyone who uses the term “cultural appropriation” seriously has never added anything beneficial to society.

LIB asshats never surprise me as to just how mentally disturbed they all are. As long as they have no responsibility or authority they are a barrel of laughs.

This reminds me of how the Nazis were so race-obsessed that they hated any idea that even vaguely had Jewish connections or was not “Aryan” enough. They tried to ignore some developments in physics because some of the leading thinkers were of Jewish origin (like Einstein). The Nazis were concerned with the ethnic “purity” of ideas and an idea would be “impure” if the idea originated from someone of a different race.

To the left, it’s all about the color of your skin - not your knowledge, skills, or character.
