The concept of Cultural Appropriation is a hostile, construct designed to vilify the perceived “Oppressor” culture
(read “White Western Culture”) and depict White people as plunderers. It simultaneously
excludes the “Oppressors” (read “White People”) from a multitude of endeavors that are conveniently reserved exclusively for the “Oppressed”. For example, white people cannot write about Black history, and etc.
The concept of Cultural Appropriation is hypocritically applied exclusively to White Western culture. There is absolutely no prohibition against non-Whites appropriating White culture, in fact it is usually celebrated.
The vilification of culturation appropriation is both breathtakingly hypocritical and historically ignorant. The movement of knowledge and customs across civilizations has been a universal given for at least 100,000 years … since the evolution of anatomically modern Homo sapiens. For example:
1. J.S. Bach’s music is played all over
the world.
2. The Arabic Numerals (actually invented
in India) are used by almost all cultures.
3. The practice of agriculture spread
from The Fertile Cresent.
4. The examples are endless.
It should be abundantly clear to anyone who thinks about the subject deeply and honestly that it is a cudgel designed
to discriminate selectively against the perceived oppressor class (i.e. White
Westerner’s). There can be no other explanation that fits all of the facts. To
defend this idea requires a level hypocrisy that boarders upon the
supernatural.
