'Cultural appropriation' is a western thing based on ideology. Don't force it on other cultures who appreciate sharing.

But even if most people in a group think something is wrong, that doesn't make it wrong. The ethical argument needs to be sound.

I also don't consider using for personal enjoyment things that weren't made by/for you w/out acknowledging spirit/history of that thing....

The spirit and history will change with import, yes.This is how cultural atifacts are shared & diversify. It's a similar pattern to language

At this is what it comes back to---you're a white woman telling me, I'm black, I'm gay, and you're telling me how to feel on this.

You can merrily feel however you like. Unless you plan on instituting a police state (next step?) you can't tell me what clothes to wear.

Why cultural divides exist. Debates like this explain it. And all I've said is that all I seek is a level of respect and understanding.

It is. Respect & understanding are key but we do not need to conclude that dividing by cultural identity is the way forward. Can say no.
