Laughing @ all the white ppl calling Met Gala theme “cultural appropriation.” To appropriate, a dominant culture takes from a marginalized culture. Not happening here. In fact, Catholics FORCED their religion on Black/brown ppl all over the world - it’s called colonialism.

Racism isn’t simply “being mean” to another race. Cultural appropriation isn’t simply “taking another person’s culture.” The key component missing from your ahistorical analysis is POWER.

If you’re an adult on the Twitter, you ought to understand this by now with all the Racism 101 curriculum being served here for YEARS. But no; y’all are being deliberately obtuse. Y’all don’t WANT to learn. This is yet another case of willful ignorance.

This idea that marginalized folks don’t understand nor want a free society because we think cultural appropriation is wrong is hilarious; I want you to stop wearing my pretty things but I don’t think you belong in jail for it, Chad.

Let's be careful not to say "all the white people" ~ because ALL WHITE PEOPLE aren't responsible for the racial mess that is always forefront in America. You'd be quick to pounce if someone said "all the black people" and would find it equally as insensitive. Atheist here...
