Are we damned if we do, damned if we don’t?

You're just realizing this??

Anything that white people do, or don't do, as the case may be, is racist. Doing too little of something or too much of another is similarly racist.

When you only have 6 syllables in the second line, you can add fillers like

Though I don't, uh, think
That's what the real genuine
Japanese do. Fo' true.

` Remind me never to culturally appropriate this art form again.

The following haiku is an example of cultural appropriation coming full circle to cultural rejection and ultimately, cultural excretion:

Word up, Home Skillet!
I make up words from whole cloth
Fo' shizzle mah Nizzle!

Cultural Appropriation goes both ways.

Henceforth, no blacks are allowed to straighten their hair. It’s a culturally white, Latino and/or Asian thing. It’s not part of African culture so they must now cease and desist.

From Huma’s Wikipedia entry:

“While a student at George Washington University, Abedin began working as an intern in the White House in 1996, assigned to then-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

It’s so sweet that Bill and Hillary had his-and-hers interns.

Glad to see his public attack...sends the exact msg that needs to be sent. Otherwise people might actually believe its about equal rights. Nothing could be further from the truth.

They can however bleach their hair blonde/orange. Some Dinka stick their heads “in stream” when a cow is peeing.

Hey, Timberlake. You useless pussy.

They hate you and you're too stupid and neutered to know it.

You're WHITE, dawg! That means you have the honky blood libel. Nothing you can ever do or say will help your butt. You might as well give ALL your money away and then commit suicide. Not that it would make a difference. But, at least the Black Bigots would have somewhere else public to urinate and defecate.
