The whole saga of this person trying so desperately to pretend that cultural appropriation doesn’t exist is all the more reason why sometimes people need to learn when to shut up.

(from now on when I say you I’m addressing anon) You really don’t realize the difference between how white people forced their culture (or lack thereof) onto everyone else and how cultural appropriation is like making a mockery of something that isn’t yours. This isn’t a “centuries ago” type of thing, there are people whose grandparents were alive when segregation was legal. The sun hasn’t set on the British empire until this year, and they still refuse to pay off the debts they owe to their colonies. Cultural appropriation is like an adding insult to injury, and you don’t need to be “stuck in the past” to see that modern day countries who are struggling with their economy could use financial compensation for what was stolen from them. It’s the same with systemic racism in the US being manifested through redlining and now cuts on DEI. Defending cultural appropriation is a symptom of how internalized all the gaslighting of people of color in our society has gone, and how anti-Blackness has infected the ideology of other people of color. I’ve been lucky enough to live in a place where overt racism in conversation is frowned upon, but I don’t go around on the internet telling people to “just heal” because I personally haven’t been through what they have. You’re not “above” the effects of racism just because you try desperately to ignore it, and you’re not helping by picking fights with someone on tumblr who is voicing an opinion on their culture. sorry for the rant, people being stupid makes me verbose

What can I say 🤷🏽‍♀️ like I said I have nothing to do right now, and this is important enough for the moment.

but I think I need to accept you ain't even gonna try to see a different side, or even entertain the possibility that you might be able to choose a different way, and you don't really WANT to. You seem to like this constant combative state you seem to live in. (yet you complain)

you're right anything is better than this right now because it's getting to a point where you are no longer coherent, your sentences aren't even making sense (even more incoherent now than when you were to begin with).

are you truly happy on the inside? - can you be honest and say that for sure? Are you truly at peace? - honestly? Are you sure of yourself and who you are? Do you realize just how much (a great deal) you are actually worth no matter what else is going on around you, or what people say, or how they treat you? — [I don't want answers, this is just for you]

good luck to you. 🫡
