No silly. Only white people can be racist
to be fair...they aren't claiming racism, they are claiming "cultural appropriation"
which equally absurd, but let's keep their absurd criticisms factual

When a black guy wears a PFG and Sperrys I take that as cultural appropriation

It's really all the same to them, Salmon.

Well then, they should stop using things like electricity and computers and plastic the combustion engine since evil white Devils invented them.

Good point. Only white people can Culturally Appropriate. Reference Black Annie, possibly the next James Bond and the black guys dressing up as white girls for reference. All examples absolutely OK with everyone but all hell would break loose if a white actor did a part as a black guy.*

You know what, my daughter enjoys Doc McStuffins. Am I now a bad parent for letting her dress up as Doc? I mean, god forbid my daughter have positive influences from people that don't look like her.
You know, all this crap started around the time I graduated high school in '00. Pretty sure the class after me stopped keeping track and recognizing Top Ten and valedictorian/salutatorian. I mean, we don't want to offend anyone. This is when you stopped keeping score in Tee Ball, and then coach pitch. My brother coached baseball about 5 years ago, and the kids just don't give a shite about winning and losing. Getting curb stomped by 20, no fire. Nobody upset.
I really thought this movement would get squashed. I really thought people growing up without learning the value of hard work would be in for a rude awakening once they got int the real world. But how wrong was I? Holy shite, the same parents that raised their kids to believe everyone's a winner are now running shite and continuing it in the real world. Cant tell someone the truth because they might be offended. Cops hate black people. Don't agree with me? You must be a racist/ homophobe/ bigot/ sexist.
Why do I bother working hard? Why do I bother paying my bills, and trying to save my money, and being able to say I worked for everything I own? I'm a middle class white male, and my success is just due to my "privledge". Why bother raising my daughter to believe that you control your station in life, and your decisions have consequences? Why teach her how to deal with failure, learn from it, and turn it into success? She'll be labeled "insensitive" the first time she tells another kid to suck it up, or pull their weight.
This country needs a Purge
