No, see you DON'T understand a thing. You wasted a lot of words illustrating that too. You might want to look up the definition of the word "context".

You are one dude who loves showing off your ignorance. Have a slow clap. :D

For the last time, I'm not trying to change your mind. I'm just telling you to DO YOUR OWN FUCKING HOMEWORK.

They know. They're being deliberately obtuse. :)

You flunked history didn't you? ;)

Holy shit. You don't understand how Google works O_O

Yes, because you white person are the arbiter of what real racism is and what is worthy of being concerned about. Because, apparently, according to you there's real racism—-the big racist things that people do—-and fake racism—-the little racist things that people do that are endemic in our culture and inform larger…

Oh how cute more tone policing from you.

You are able to "post multiple times without insulting anyone"???? Wow you have some serious powers of self-delusion there! Practically everything I read from you was offensive and condescending—-to the very people who would be authorities on how Perry's performance is inappropriate. Smh

Yes the article is "trash" because it's calling out white people for cultural appropriation, something you don't understand but feel threatened by. Sure, sure.

Wow. Guess who will educate you for free? Google.

What argument? I only told you to do your own Google leg work. And called you an entitled asshat because that's been your role in this thread so far, what with demanding that the marginalized people provide you with reading lists. JFC

Wow. I'm not really sure what point you were trying to make but you succeeded at demonstrating "racist asshole" with flying colors.

It's not her job educate you, entitled asshat. I was able to Google and refresh myself on this shit in two minutes. You don't even need to get off your ass to do that much, you're already at the keyboard.

"Us white people"? You know Kara Brown is a woman of color, right?

Watermelon, grape soda, fried chicken are part of this cultural stereotype regarding black people. There's a lot of racist history behind this that a lot of people in this thread appear to be totally oblivious to.

We're talking about cornrows here and yeah that is a marker of black culture that white people appropriate. That coupled with watermelon (a well known hallmark of black culture stereotyping, look it up) makes this clearly offensive AND culturally appropriative.

Oh look at all the people that don't understand the difference between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.

Does anyone even remember the MiniDisc? I remember getting one for one of my teen birthdays.

You are missing the big picture. It's not a matter of merely cheating on his wife and begging for her to take him back. This guy is clearly a misogynist and that's not someone worth supporting and quite frankly not sure how you can feel good about supporting him while giving the tiniest fuck about that.
