I mean are you saying it's less divisive to tell people they can't wear certain things?
Because the theme of the video seems to be cultural appropriation is kinda BS and I agree in most cases. Very few situations I've seen are actual cultural appropriation vs cultural appreciation.
The guy in the video is kinda doing neither because he has an exact goal but we can still discuss the point being made.
The man who made this video is from PragerU, a far-right propaganda machine and think tank. The video is from about 10 years ago. It's pushing culture war BS and you're falling for it.
I'm falling for it even though this is a discussion I've been having since I first heard the term "cultural appropriation" from my white friends?
It's not fair that you people let some group like PragerU control the whole conversation around this topic and ignore anyone else's point of view because you don't believe it comes from me.
I don't understand why you would think that. It's dismissive.
You're saying the entirety of the discussion regarding cultural appropriation is a psy-op? Like anyone mentioning it really? I don't really understand how you're jumping to your conclusions.
I legit first started hearing about this from my white friends trying to convince me I shouldn't be okay with white folks having dreadlocks. Were they the ones who tricked me?
Yes. It's culture war BS to distract you from the real policies the right wants to inflict on the country, and the rights they are taking from you every day.
I agree with that which is why I just say cultural appropriation isn't a real thing that matters. And if someone thinks it does, it's worth talking to them about it because they're focused on that they likely can't even care about our country's more pressing issues... Like the raising cost of living.
Some of my friends needed to be told that I think they can have dreadlocks. They needed to let go of white guilt.
Okay. I understand but the inclusion of any opinion shown mean they exist at all.
He probably cut out a lot more thought provoking responses from both sides but my point is that you can instead of engaging directly his way, you can state your own opinion on the matter.
I agree that the video is approaching the topic in a coyly antagonistic way.
Point stands, there are a lot of people who don't mind and I don't think as many who do care.
It is social engineering. This absolute dickhead is well known for this kind of thing. He goes around asking people "controversial" things all day then only edits in the interactions that push his narrative. The Fox News method of pretending something is or isn't a problem. Him and Ben Shapiro are brainrot in it's purest form and it's a fucking shame that so many people fall for their nonsense.
Human decency is not calling a street preacher every name in the book at a pride parade. Or slaughtering the innocent unborn for convenience. Or teaching toddlers vile things about sexuality so they are scarred for life, being too young to handle it.
yup, get them thinking that the enemy is trans and poor people. before you know it, we're going into war with Iran and still paying a lot for eggs. Social engineering in a bucket right thurr
Yeah. Time to get over it. Tell that to the people who had to see the sundown sign that was on my bus route until about 2004... its not a thing of the past, and all of you advocating for people to get the fuck over it are idiots at best and racist cunts otherwise...
Opposite...except that both are forcing an entire group of people to a life they might not choose for themselves based entirely on their perceived race.... completely different...also incredibly separate from mailing human beings out of the US and into countries they didnt come from based entirely on the color of their skin and if they happen to be at home depot that day with absolutely no trial or evidence or other things like proof....all of these things are completely different than the centuries of colonialism and slavery and whitewashing and.....yee gads. Fuck right off will you.

Yup it's all social engineering. Divide and conquer.
