You have the same resources and perhaps even more than anyone else here on the internet. You have the ability and resources to look for the answer to your question yourself. And yet you did none of that and arrogantly assumed that other people were put on earth to cater to you. That is not the case.

If you had said…

I think you are overlooking the laziness inherent in BookonBob’s comment. BookonBob said they did not understand cultural appropriation. That’s a perfectly valid thing to be confused about but that confusion means that someone is going to have to put in effort towards the goal of BookonBob’s eventual understanding. On…

Honestly, there’s so much information out there on the issue of cultural appropriation it’s pretty damned lazy to ask others to do your homework.

This comment in its entirety just proves my point.

Lol, white people don’t like it when black people/people of color/white people who actually understand can’t be bothered to explain the breadth of scope of their privilege induced state of know-nothing.

I understand the pithy nature of my comment made it a bit ambiguous, so I’ll explain it. The “disingenuous” didn’t mean I disagreed with the stupidity you posted (but to be sure I do disagree with it). The “disingenuous” was in reference to the fact you very well know the crux of the cultural appropriation (not sure…

lol, go back to bed.

The veriest

White girls are totally irrelevant to this conversation; that’s what we are. And that’s okay.

So you just decided to ignore the article and write whatever this supposed to be.

The appropriation comes in when you take from another culture and re-brand it as your own, giving no credit to where it came from. It gets even stickier when a ruling class or culture takes cultural ideas from oppressed classes or cultures and celebrates them when they do it but use the same cultural ideas as a…

And the winner of most disingenuous Kinja comment goes to ...

There is plenty of reading out there to explain it.

oh god, I’ve already seen like 3 “but what are white girls?!” comments.

Your shitty comment.

Black girls.
