Perry admitted that she’s made several mistakes, for example, the hairstyles she’s chosen to wear, especially when it came to her “This Is How We Do” video. 


quote:

“I listened and I heard and I didn’t know,” she said. “I won’t ever understand some of those things because of who I am. I will never understand, but I can educate myself and that’s what I’m trying to do along the way.”

About. Damn. Time.

I can't believe this guy would have the AUDACITY to MANSPLAIN to a strong, confident WOMAN-WARRIOR like Katy Perry!

Cultural appropriation? It's just a bullshite word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shite.

Wearing his ever-present blue vest, Mckesson welcomed Perry to Pod Save the People, and the two sat cross-legged on a white sofa to discuss Perry’s history with white privilege and appropriation.

Wait wait wait, cultural apporoiation and hair? I'm. It reading that BS but from the sounds of it, now certain "cultural" items will now be offensive to members of said culture if members of the opposite culture don them???? This shite is getting ridicilious and we are so phucked as a nation in 30 years.

Cultures have always borrowed from each other. It's what has made humanity so great.

This current line of thinking that only certain things are for certain cultures is wrong.

Additionally, many things associated with specific cultures did not necessarily originate with them. For example, I've seen dreadlocks on white people used as an example of cultural appropriation, however, there are paintings and statues from ancient Greece depicting their people with dreads.

Video showing DeRay has no clue what he's talking about.



Without this evidence I would have continued believing that he knows what he's talking about.

If you are creating a line graph of Katy Perry's career, at this point you may want to get a yard stick to help draw the downward trend line.

The problem is that you have groups of people who don't know anything of history or even cultures that are dictating these new social rules and telling us about history and culture.
