Cultural Appropriation Rue from The Hunger Games Speaks Up

[pettyofficerj]

The difference is when we adopt these things like blonde hair light eyed contacts and other foods we don't admonish and look down on the very people we borrow from. That's where the dig comes in fam.

Thanks for breaking it down for the slow bus all-stars

So elaborate for us in more lay terms. Is her frustration that she's blurring cultural with political? When she calls out Miley Cyrus for twerking without the corresponding political correctness/appreciation? Could this be a gifted but young mistake?

Who are you Quinn? Your smarts/perspective ... oh there goes the flattery again .. but seriously ...

Eggzactly

And who am I? Just some guy :smt053

Seriously it's like comparing replacing white actors with minorities, to replacing minorities with white actors

It seems legit until you actually think about it

Yup even though I can not stand when they replace white superheroes with black ones unless the content dictates it like Nick Fury.

I was also talking about society as whole. Blacks adopt things like Asian martial arts and have a deep respect for those people, eat Italian food and love mob movies, blacks even buy clothing where the designers prefer us not wear them ie Timberland and Tommy Hilfiger and still hold absolutely no ill will.

Please stop perpetuating the lie about TH.

The Timberland's CEO quote is also patently false..

Also, if Timbs didn't want Blacks wearing them...

You are missing the entire point. Myth or not there's a reason why this shit is so believable. But keep playing your game of gotcha and not actually pay attention to the real problem.

A simple "l stand corrected" from you would have sufficed.
Kinda like that tax refund thingy.
Now, stop spreading lies about Tommy H and TL, ok? OK.

Dollars to donuts he talked/talks shit about minorities when none are around

Bliss you weren't right on the tax refund thingy I just have no interest arguing with you about something I've been paid to do and know about it so yes I let you "have it" in there interest of not having these no one ever wins conversations.
And it's interesting that in a thread about cultural approriation this is what you want to focus on and I read the quotes. Both of these dudes danced around what was said. Instead of saying we want people from all walks of life to enjoy our products both of them danced around this shit big time as if they were worried that somewhere someone would expose them. Especially Hilfiger considering he put to bed a 10 year rumor, why did it take 10 years to address?
But like I said keep playing gotcha.

You gotta love how an advertisement with a black guy in means that the CEO never made a statement like he was accused of. I'm sure Donald Sterling never said n***** either since he allows black people on his team lol

Good point forgot about Sony. Seems to common practice.

Uh yeah...in a press conference to reporters he suposedly said, "We started this company with a vision. To make the best damn boot that you can wear from the construction yard to the nearest Klan meetings without sacrificing fashion"

All these reporters there, not one reports it..but instead he's quoted by an obscure website...
But hey, you both are desperate to keep spreading the lie. ...which only makes you look incredibly stupid at this point.

Don't buy or wear Timbs. Simple.

Again I'm not making a case of whether it true or not especially since neither flat out said no I didn't say this my products are for everyone. Wouldn't you say that? But again that's irrelevant, what is relevant is why it's so believable. It's believable because this country has a long history of using black folk for financial gain without wanting us to take part in the prosperity or giving due credit.

What the fluck are you talking about??

He says it clear as day in the interview - he makes his clothes for everyone. Clear as day.

But clearly you didn't watch it, huh?
Just like you didn't read my tax REFUND comment.

I swear you argue in your sleep. Deuces.

I just watched it and he didn't say his products were for everyone he just said he wanted to sell a lot of clothes and how nice of him to "set the record straight" after the rumors have been around for over a decade and now include Latinos and Jews. When it was just blacks just let the rumor rock. Good try

Ah...NOW you watched it...except your schooled butt decided to omit the: " l wanted to sell a lot of clothes to a lot of people" Now, if he excluded Asians, Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, and middle class Whites..well you do the math.

Curiously..which part of "the rumor died years ago" in the video, did your brain miss?
Which part of Oprah telling you "HE NEVER SAID IT TO ME" did your brain miss?

Comprehend, the rumor lie DIED, dude. Years ago.
But some jerkheads decided..heeeey, let's regurgitate this Oprah Show lie cause im a dumbfuck!

And then it's spread. Like on this website. Tonight. By you and Petty.
So if you won't listen to me, then listen to Oprah..tell you..."IT'S A BIG FAT LIE!"
