How STUPID And RACIST Is "Cultural Appropriation"?

Is it "cultural appropriation when black actors play the part of white Founders of the United States like in the painfully stupid musical "Madison"? Would it be "cultural appropriation" for a black man to play James Bond when Ian Fleming created him white? Does cultural appropriation mean NO black or Asian actor can play ANY of Shakespeare's lead characters, because they were all white, and can only Jews play Shylock?

Africans did not invent the violin and Asians did not invent the piano - should ALL blacks and Asians who play in classical symphonies be accused of cultural appropriation and be banned? In fact symphonies and the tone poems themselves were created by white Europeans; should an American Indian be prevented from ever conducting one at a concert?

Careful what you wish for Social Justice Maniacs...you might just get what you demand.

African Americans pretty much invented jazz and thus modern music.

@UnlikeableAndy What does that have to do with what I just wrote? Is it cultural appropriation for whites to play jazz? No. Is it cultural appropriation for blacks to play the harpsichord? NO! You don't even understand what I am talking about.

And I happen to be mixed race, sweety, so you have made an ASS out of yourself for your ASSumption. And not for the first time I am sure.

@UnlikeableAndy and I am NOT an American as you again supposed...who is the racist here? Maybe you should change your username to lonelyandstupid or lonelyandilliterate?

@questionWeaver Hahaha! Me or IT?
@Abrienda was referring to lonely and his KKK comment ... you are carrying this discussion just fine!
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@questionWeaver Well thank you that is very kind. BUT what does this discussion show us? At the bottom Leftists are RACISTS in a way which makes "the KKK" look like the Boy Scouts! I make an argument for RACIAL AND CULTURAL HARMONY and who has a problem? Leftists? Who agrees? Conservatives.
Leftists are about power, through intellectualism ... they have to argue with everything you say.

If they agree, their power diminishes.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@questionWeaver Yes but since leftism is itself based on untruth it substitutes "intellectualISM" - they LOVE "isms" dont they? - because they cannot engage us intellectually or rely on being as my priest calls it "intentionally stupid" in making their replies.
Yes ... they have given smart a bad name

@questionWeaver But oh how they LOVE authority - the OSCARS...PULITZER PRIZES...NOBEL PRIZES...PhD!! The left ALWAYS appeals to "authority"...shows how truly "revolutionary" they are!

@Abrienda He's a stupid zombie who cant comprehend intelligent thought. Ignore him.

@katielass I meant kalikali but everything you said can still apply there including the sex too.

@Abrienda Anyone who is capable of looking at history and analyzing how policy has affected minorities will tell you the left's policies have hurt minorities. They simply removed their sheets but they now hold minorities, particularly blacks, in a different kind of prison. Your average dem doesn't get it but as hillary said, they aren't very bright. The ones who do get it are still pulling the strings.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@katielass That's right she DID say that! Might want to take a look at the trap I set that dim watt Kalikali who like the sheep she is walked right into it

@Abrienda I blocked her. I made a nice post to honour our veterans and she inserted something political that had nothing to do with veterans day. I politely asked her to stop and she kept on and kept on posting terrible things about our vets until I removed her post and blocked her. I heard she was telling a different story but my comments were not deleted and they support my side.

@UnlikeableAndy What do blacks "inventing" jazz have to do with anything? aLright...is a Japanese jazz musician engaged in cultural appropriation? Is a Mexican owner/chef of a Chinese restaurant in New York engaged in cultural appropriation too? Is the city of NEW YORK also engaged in cultural appropriation? THAT is the question, dumbo, which you fail to understand and don't dare answer or it would make you look even more foolish than you already look. As for the Klan it is YOU who is making the racist argument, not me...and they would not admit me, being as I am of mixed race myself. How silly do you feel now? I am sure you are used to that feeling by now.
