Right, and the uproar over that commercial shows how much race is still such a big problem in the United States.

Or any time someone with remotely tan skin sings the national anthem, Twitter fills up with "why is this Mexican singing the anthem!?!" or "is that guy even a citizen!?!?" like

Apparently everyone forgot how America is supposed to be a "melting pot." Melting pot implies that a whole bunch of diverse people live together and influence each other, not that separate sects of people should exist and act out caricatures of each other.

Well, I guess it's safe to say that black people are the best.

You're welcome, ATRL.

From what you're saying, I agree to some extent.
I don't think there's anything wrong with adopting certain things that are popular in a certain culture, but when it's so general and very stereotypical, it just seems ignorant.
Like when someone does an impression of gay person with the lisp and weak wrists etc.. It's stereotypical and wrong.

Agreed. Additionally, claiming you are 'a black woman inside' if you are not, in fact, a black woman, is offensive and belittling to their real-world struggles for the sake of a 'cute' caricature of them. Just like how claiming you are a gay man inside is offensive (I've seen both). I don't see how anyone could see otherwise, I honestly just think the confusion and/or aversion most people have to it is due to the title.

How about NO. What the hell? SERIOUSLY? Did you just compare black oppression to gay oppression?

No, he simply said both identities are outside the ideal white hetero-normative ideal in our societies, and that both can be celebrated (without making it a competition). What's wrong with that

Tell me you're trolling.

I understand what she's trying to say, but at the same time I feel like things get lost in communication because instead of both sides trying to understand each other it's just a bunch of finger pointing.

But it does get hella annoying when things associated with black people in America are usually mocked, laughed at and considered ignorant until someone white comes in and everything changes.

Nice racism

Dequan said it's OK, so...

I do think people go too far with the cultural Appropriation stuff though.
Literally every culture as appropriated something.

As we move on to a more accepting society and the amount of cultures present in the US grows it's time to start creating one big culture similar to how alot of other countries in the Americas have, but I understand why black americans would be hesitate to do such considering the history.

What kind of spilt tea, the number of pages

[shinjiikari]

its just funny how people can come together to protest singing the national anthem in other languages, attacking people on buses trying to come into the country, hell even to get justin bieber deported. but no one can come together to protest a meaningless war, to protest all of the banks that ripped people off with these inflatable mortgages that ruined the housing market and sent the country into a recession. it just amazes me how people don't support their own class interests because of things like race / being gay / being a woman segregating each other

As a black LGBT member, I have to wonder why is it a source of contention when white gay males are inspired by black women (an inspiration which goes both ways) but when a black male or female acts white, it's the sign of an ambitious black person?

The racism in this way of thinking is inherent. We live in a society where it's okay for black people to act white and not for white people to act black. It shouldn't be about "acting", we're all people - we're all allowed to act however we want. Saying similar things is NOT cultural appropriation, you cannot trademark slang. Is it cultural appropriation if I start speaking Spanish tomorrow? Tell this bitch to take several seats, she is just trying to seem intellectual and she is failing hard.

this generation gets offended by the most asinine things. Its pathetic and a slap in the face to actual issues

I did not say "steal," I said adopted. Even people like NeNe from RHOA and Quad from Married to Medicine said that most of the lingo they use comes from their gay friends...
