@BlueMetalChick Right!

@BlueMetalChick This is well said. I’m white but the piano music I love is by black performers and musicians. Ray Charles, Professor Longhair, Stevie Wonder. I don’t see how it’s inappropriate for me to play or occasionally even perform that music. But if I were trying to somehow impersonate them or act as if that musical history were my own instead of just something I love, that would be more problematic.

@Harmonium1923 The most frustrating one for me is when people emulate the stereotypes of my race, but then go on to talk about how we're human trash and scum. So it's fine for them to wear our clothes and butcher our language and pretend like they invented our culture, but when we do it, it makes us shit and we should just fuck off and die.

@plungesponge oh wow i came here just to say that

ya too slow dawg!

@plungesponge I'm down.

@LvChris Name calling? Really? And all this because I asked a question that apparently I could have phrased a bit differently. For that I may have been wrong. But to jump my shit and accuse me of automatically being a racist is really judgemental for someone you don't even know. How is that not being trashy?

And I can't have black friends unless I am a racist? Gee, looks like I can't win now, can I. No worries. I get it. Someone had done you wrong in the past with racist bullshit. But it isn't ME, so deal with your own issues and stop projecting.

@LvChris Oh, but apparently you don't! You sure told me! lol

@Peaches Thank you for "getting it" my friend. I had no idea this was such a hard concept to comprehend.

@MeowsoliniReturns People don't take the time to listen to others these daze...they don't hear what's being said.😔They're more focused on their own response.

@Peaches That is very, very true!

@bookerdana Not sure how else to phrase it. I am damned if I do, damned if I don't. You know?

@MeowsoliniReturns Why not lose the phrase b/c there are so many real racists who say that..and in 2020 you are kinda damned if you do,damned if you don't

@bookerdana Because I KNOW I'm not. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. They can THINK whatever they want. Doesn't make it so.

@Torsten 😅 You're completely right. Thanks.

@MeowsoliniReturns I normally am lol. no probs

@Torsten 😅

@MeowsoliniReturns By todays standards you can't prove you are not racist, you HAVE TO BE RACIST because you are white. You can't not be racist. That is the way these dumbass people see things now. Enough is enough. Just tell people, if they have a problem with you being white, take it up with GOD! Because you sure as shit didn't choose it.

@MeowsoliniReturns None of us chose what we were born into or what color we were born. We could not choose who or what our parents were or how we were treated when we were young. We can only choose what we become as people. If you let me live in peace, WE will live in peace.
You have to see with more than your eyes, you have to feel with more than your hands, and you have to find your own answers and not be led by anyone. There is only one "you" and you are the only one who will gain from or pay for your actions.

@OwnerOfMany Thank you! You are 100% correct!

@SW-User Walking into a room of black individuals and immediately changing the way you speak in order to seem like you too, are black. THAT'S what I mean. And oh, believe me, apparently it makes me a racist to even bring this up even though my black friends do.

@MeowsoliniReturns People always do the voice switching thing to adapt themselves to their interlocutors. I don’t believe in stealing a culture anyway but your question doesn’t automatically make you a racist.

@SW-User Thank you.

@helenS What I am referring to is white people trying to change their lingo in the presence of black folks. And YES I have listen to my black friends call them out on it.

@SW-User 😅

@MeowsoliniReturns Yaay...so good to see you again...I'm doing well thanks...how about you?

@Mandalorian Great, thanks! So good to see you!

@MeowsoliniReturns 🤗🤗🤗

@gabri3lle Apparently so.

@SW-User Trying to, but being harshly judged for even asking.

@MeowsoliniReturns lots of people are sensitive to these things, so it’s understandable

@SW-User Apparently so. Kind odd how I can be a racist over ONE honest question, but hey, whatever.

@Nebula Oh realllly? I think you are blind.

@abxd12 I have, thank you.

@MeowsoliniReturns I don't live in an area where people say that. I know people who grow up in those areas share the same culture as they grow up in it together. Pretty much the only people who say that grew up around that. I know your point but thats technically not "stealing" if thats all you know.

@Ryannnnnn It's not "all I know." It was simply one example.

@MeowsoliniReturns I was talking about people who grow up with that culture.

@MrFreeeeeze I don't know. But apparently I am a racist.

@MissLlyn I didn't realize twerking had anything to do with being black.

@MeowsoliniReturns apparently so, as far as I rember its some African dance. I read about some black women freak out about white women twerking.

@MissLlyn Oh OK.

@SW-User Why does it matter??
