Ancient Greece is a dead culture that bears very little resemblance to Greece today so featuring it in your video is not an act of power in the same way as, say, Miley Cyrus having all black dancers and twerking around stage as a joke.Ā Thatās very different. Itās not an excuse to hate white people. Itās encouragement to be more conscious of the historical and political platform of white people which some white people seem to take offense to. No one is hating white people, I certainly donāt, but they just want white people to treat them and their cultures with respect when they historically haveĀ not. Itās about educating yourself and humility rather than brash, uglyĀ pride and arrogance. Ā In my own life, would I wear something more typically black? Probably not because I donāt really know the history behind it and itās morn a costume, itās someoneās culture. If anything, I think itās a very beautiful thing to welcome others to learn about your culture in such a warm and tactile way as fashion. Share in the culture on the terms of its maker not your own. Thats all thatās being asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Bardot 3,990 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 cultural appropiation is bullshitĀ stop being mad about everything, we're from the same planetĀ Spoiler Look it like this; I'm Mexican, if I use Mayan or Aztec culture for whatever reason I want to, thinking like some of you do, it'd be cultural appropiation too. Why? because I'm not Mayan nor Aztec, those civilisations are long dead. So what is it? cUlTURaLlll ApPRopiaTiON1!!!1! i honestly don't care if non-mexican peopleĀ want to celebrate 5 de mayo or dress up like mexicans, it's their problem ifĀ some of them don't want to learn about other cultures pooiota Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That J 12,166 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Personally, I think it would be more helpful to answer the question without making fun of the poster first.Ā This is why people hold things in and it escalates. Explain why the question isnt this or that. Ā The question. Not the seeker.Ā Some did just that.

Borislshere 52,615 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Are you going to act like Gaga didnāt go around with the āAphroditeā persona(which is also apart of Ancient Greece) for half of the ARTPOP era? You canāt pick and choose who youāre going to be upset with. If something as simple as dancing in front of art makes you call our appropriation, then how are you okay with Gaga wearing dreads in your avi?Ā Try to help me understand cause right now it feels like another ā I hate BeyoncĆ© Ā but I need to mask it as something elseā thread.

BBhomemaker 5,611 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Bad appropriations are offensives like :Ā They are mocking a culture, personally I was ultra mad toward beiber I felt like it was a joke for him I wanted to put my Spanish fist in his face hahaha "Good" appropriations made with respect :Ā Taylor donated to the natural reserve and didn't make fun by wearing anything offensiveĀ And well I don't know for madonna but I feel like it was made with respect, and I know she learnt a lot of cultures and she done a lot,Ā it's meaningful, but I can be wrong, either way I don't feel like it's mocking Japanese culture as Avril Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
