By golly, you're right. Only Argentinians should be allowed to dress like that! Nobody else that works with cattle in arid areas should ever be allowed to use suitable clothing.

Which raises another point. I often wear a firesuit and race helmet. Should I be worried? Am I offending anyone based upon appropriation (rather than just based upon looks or odor)?

BTW I put the blame of the rise of Trumpism and the Alt-right squarely on the SJWs and the Regressive Left.

awesome.


what does feminism have to do with men being CEOs? maybe stop posting such drivel online and work at becoming a CEO instead of getting knocked up at 15yo with a drug addict BF that's never going to help raise Baby.

I see cultural appropriation in Africans speaking English.

I also see it when they drive Buicks.

Get off my lawn.

I've decided to hop on board the pronoun train.

I self-identify as The Dude. My pronouns are Dude, His Dudeness, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

BLACK STUDENTS AT TCU DEMAND $100 MILLION IN REPARATIONS…OR ELSE


Here are some of their absurd demands:

  • Lowering the campus flag every time police kill a person of color in America.
  • A “100 million dollar endowment to further support minority students, and make TCU a more fiscally feasible option through non-athletic scholarships.”
  • The creation of a “multicultural center that is for students and by students.”
  • The creation of a “department of diverse studies,” including an “Ethnic Studies course that will be a core curriculum requirement for all students.”
  • Hiring a new Chief Officer of Diversity and Inclusion “in charge of overseeing the curriculums and projects set forth in this document.”

The college has responded by caving in to some of their demands.

This is part of a common trend over the past few years. More and more campuses are bullied into submission by ‘poor helpless minorities.’ TCU has agreed to create a “cabinet-level” position that would “lead efforts regarding diversity and inclusion and providing additional training for all students, faculty, and staff.”

Last year, the University of Missouri was at the center of a race-hoax involving black students who ultimately forced the college president and chancellor to resign.

all things are racist.

Amy Schumer 'Formation' Parody Slammed as 'Racist'

“There is no possible excuse for @AmySchumer not to know the cultural significance of #Formation for black women.I hope this hurts her career,” said @peacebang.
“It is weird to me that @amyschumer thought a song about the police killing black people was perfect for a parody,” wrote Twitter user @ndreajohnson.
Amy Schumer continues to be trash and disrespectful like she doesn’t have access to open conversations about race and black women,” wrote BooksBakesBio.
Not only is Schumer accused of cultural appropriation, she dons a T-shirt with the lyric “Texas Bama,” which Time magazine indicates has a painful and very specific history for people of color in America.


gotta be one of the worst songs i've ever heard, from one of the most talentless people ever; holy crap.

Campus police to probe ?offensive? Halloween costumes, students told - The College Fix

Members of Tufts University’s Greek system have been told they could face “serious disciplinary sanctions” — including a possible investigation by the campus police — for wearing Halloween costumes that offend peers or make the campus community “feel threatened or unsafe.”

The warning was part of a letter to the presidents of fraternities and sororities on campus signed by various Greek Life council leaders, who asked the chapter presidents to relay the message to their members.

The letter stated in part that “Greek Brothers and Sisters have worn costumes that appropriate cultures and reproduce stereotypes on race, gender, sexuality, immigrant or socioeconomic status. Outfits relating to tragedy, controversy, or acts of violence are also inappropriate. … It is our mission to promote spaces that allow members of the Tufts community to have fun without feeling as though any part of their identity is being misrepresented or targeted.”

The letter went on to warn “there are consequences for wearing an offensive costume.
Chapter Presidents— The Council Presidents —Erika Marmol (MGC), Meaghan Annett (Panhel), Alex Spring (IFC), and myself (IGC)— have discussed how we, as a Greek community, can take a united stance against offensive Halloween costumes, and ultimately, make this weekend both fun and safe for everyone. What sets Halloween apart from other weekends on this campus is the fact that there are multiple costume parties being held. The costumes that people choose to wear have an effect on everyone around them whether they realize it or not. This year we want the Greek Community to help prevent inappropriate, offensive and appropriative costumes. This comes down to both how we publicize and market our social events for Halloween weekend, as well as proactively preventing the alcohol transports and sexual assaults, which are more common during this time. We can accomplish this by being intentional when choosing party themes and party costumes, being a role model for responsible drinking, and asking people for consent if you want to engage in any sexual activity. In that same vein, we can advocate for our friends and our community by being aware of our surroundings and being active bystanders. Greek Brothers and Sisters have worn costumes that appropriate cultures and reproduce stereotypes on race, gender, sexuality, immigrant or socioeconomic status. Outfits relating to tragedy, controversy, or acts of violence are also inappropriate. We need to set a precedent that people’s customs cannot and will not be our costumes. As you will agree, the values illustrated by such costumes do not align with the values of the Greek Community at Tufts. It is our mission to promote spaces that allow members of the Tufts community to have fun without feeling as though any part of their identity is being misrepresented or targeted. In order to accomplish this, we ask that you relay this message to your chapters. Please read this email to your chapter during your weekly meetings. When choosing a costume, be aware of the impact your costume might have on others, and be cognizant of any statements—including, but not limited to, cultural or violent messages—your outfit may make, intentional or not. There are consequences for wearing an offensive costume. Mary Pat McMahon, the Dean of Student Affairs, described the consequences as follows: “The range of response for students whose actions make others in our community feel threatened or unsafe, or who direct conduct towards others that is offensive or discriminatory, includes OEO and/or TUPD investigation and then disciplinary sanctions from our office that could run a wide gamut depending on what is brought to our attention and the impact of these actions on others. Any complaints will result in full investigation by University officials and could result in serious disciplinary sanctions through Judicial Affairs.” We encourage all students that feel like they have encountered someone who is wearing an inappropriate and offensive costume to please file a report by filling out the following link: https://cm.maxient.com/reportingform...iv&layout_id=2 Furthermore, an increase of sexual assaults has occurred during this weekend in past years. This year, we want to break that trend. Consent is necessary for any and all sexual activity. Communicate with your chapters about ways to actively reduce risk for partygoers. This is an important issue to the Tufts community, and one that our councils take very seriously. Please try and have RMAT present at your parties because they are here as a valuable resource. Lastly, a higher rate of binge drinking and alcohol transports has also been a part of Halloween. We are asking that you be aware of your members and your guests, and to promote moderation for partygoers of age when consuming alcohol. In order to comply with the values that the council Presidents outlined above, we ask that IFC party host organizations convey the following message in the description section of your Facebook event: The Inter Greek Council, Multicultural Greek Council, Inter Fraternity Council, and Panhellenic Council would like to remind you: In a collective effort to provide an environment for everyone to enjoy themselves, consider the implications of your costume choices that might appropriate stereotypes or target aspects of identity. In addition, your consent and others' consent is an absolute necessity for all sexual activity. Have a fun and safe Halloween! Best Regards, Alex Spring (IFC President) Erika Marmol (MGC President) Gabrielle Fenaroli (IGC President) Meaghan Annett (Panhel President)

way to tap gently on the glass window:

Hillary Clinton has run a stunningly boring campaign. Is this really our first female president?

A length of white rope was the first abiding image of the election, and it was one which said a lot about Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

On July 4 last year, Mrs Clinton was in Gotham, New Hampshire, to press the flesh months ahead of the primary – which she went on to lose badly. Things turned a tad messy as a gaggle of protesters emerged to harangue her about Benghazi. So out came the rope, behind which the press were corralled as she made her serene and carefully controlled progress through the town.

Local Republicans lapped it up, accusing her of insulting “granite staters”, but it was the first hint of the sense of entitlement has underpinned her entire campaign.

Part III of the undercover investigation dives further into the back room dealings of Democratic politics. It exposes prohibited communications between Hillary Clinton’s campaign, the DNC and the non-profit organization Americans United for Change. And, it’s all disguised as a duck.

Several Project Veritas Action undercover journalists catch Democracy Partners founder directly implicating Hillary Clinton in FEC violations.

“In the end, it was the candidate, Hillary Clinton, the future president of the United States, who wanted ducks on the ground,” says Creamer in one of several exchanges. “So, by God, we would get ducks on the ground.”

It is made clear that high-level DNC operative Creamer realized that this direct coordination between Democracy Partners and the campaign would be damning when he said: “Don’t repeat that to anybody.”

It was earlier this year when people wearing Donald Duck costumes started showing up at Donald Trump events all over the country. Brad Woodhouse is the president of Americans United for Change (AUFC) and he worked with Robert Creamer, Scott Foval, and DNC Rapid Response Coordinator Aaron Black to launch their “Donald Ducks” campaign.

After the first video in this series, Woodhouse fired Scott Foval, his national field director.

In the video, the operatives go on to explain their plot.

“Let me tell you something. I think she [Hillary Clinton] has the right instinct on this. This thing is resonating, but that story is not exactly what you want to hear about how presidential decision-making happened,” said Woodhouse.

However, the originator of the Donald Ducks scheme was supposed to remain secret.

Robert Creamer goes on to add, “I was actually on a plane to go to London last week -- Christina Reynolds [Deputy Communications Director for Hillary for America] calls saying, ‘I have good news and bad news. The good news is the candidate would like to have a mascot following around the duck -- I mean, Trump.’”

Creamer then says, “If the future president wants ducks, we will put ducks on the ground.”

Hillary Clinton and the DNC wanted the Donald Ducks agitators at Trump and Pence campaign events. The direct involvement of the campaign and the Democratic National Committee with Americans United for Change and activists wearing Donald Duck costumes smacks strongly of illegal coordinated campaign expenditures.

Federal campaign law experts have told us “the ducks on the ground are likely public communications for purposes of the law. It’s political activity opposing Trump, paid for by Americans United for Change funds but controlled by Clinton and her campaign.”

Representatives of Clinton’s campaign were on daily conference calls which PVA journalists witnessed with Creamer, AUFC managers and their operatives. They were talking about where to send the duck and the “ducks message.” Not only was the campaign in on it, but apparently Donna Brazille’s Democratic National Committee was in on it as well.

After last week’s stories released by Project Veritas Action, Americans United for Change fired Scott Foval and Robert Creamer announced to the DNC that he was stepping down from campaign responsibilities. James O’Keefe and Project Veritas Action have filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission.

Project Veritas Action Fund (AKA Project Veritas Action) was founded by James O’Keefe to investigate and expose corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud and other misconduct.

Re: three posts ago: isn't the campus administration referring to fraternity / sorority members of non-Hellenic ancestry as "Greek" basically a form of institutionally sanctioned appropriation?
