Is culture only to be appreciated and used by the race that creates it?

This is all new to me, I'm confused because there is a lot of stuff I'm not sure I'm entitled to use or like now.

Google it and you get like 30 million hits.
 
I don't know what this is but I'm over all this crap.

Black people suck.

White people suck.

Mexicans suck.

Indians suck.

Muslims suck.

Gay guys suck.


Hot big fake tits lesbians are awesome.

I think when you appropriate something to the detriment of the creators, or you're a very poor imitation thereof, there's legitimate criticism to be applied.

Examples:

Pat Boone - took wonderful Little Richard tunes, sucked all the "soul" from their bones, repackaged them to sell to middle-America in a way so that no one's parents would be offended.

Vanilla Ice - tried to pass himself off as being from the "mean streets" who overcame adversity and the thug life to become a "rapper." (Really was raised in the upper middle-class community of Carrolton, TX.)

It's just more virtue signaling by social justice warriors who have no real bigots left to fight so they make them up.
 
so pat Boone shouldn't have done that?


Vanilla ice can only sing about being from middle class Texas?

If a woman can be born into a mans body why can't a thug be born into a middle class kids body? You are such a judgemental bigot Hollywood.

Martin Luther King died for nothing. His legacy is lost his message raped and drug down the streets by poor me blacks and white liberals who can see racism in a sunset. It's mind boggling.


I just watched the bet speech. What a bunch of crap. Martin Luther King would be shouted down and have eggs thrown at him if he were alive today. I can't stand this divisive poor me crap. A rich mother fvcker accepting an award that only black people can win, who has a white mother going off on white culture.

I need to get away from media before I lose my mind.

High Stick Harry,

Never knew you were such a fan of poseurs.

Because that's what I was criticizing, someone who basically "steals" something from someone else and tries to act like they invented it. Vanilla Ice could have just performed, without creating a completely fictional, self-invented, "tough guy" background for himself.
Pat Boone took something so creative and for the time "controversial" and watered it down to the point he turned it into elevator music. I guess you probably think Elvis was wrong for shooting the tv to show his disgust for Robert Goulet's weak sauce as well?

I think of that scene from Gran Torino, where Eastwood's character drives up to rescue the neighbor girl from the black thugs and has just as much disdain for the (in the character's words): " These guys don't want to be your bro, and I don't blame 'em. Now get your ofay paddy ass on down the road...." My original criticism is about phonies, but hey you go right on defending them, it's your thing apparently.

I should also note, that both the BET awards and NAACP Image awards have often had white nominees, including last years "best new artist" award which went to Sam Smith, a white guy who beat numerous black artists for the award.
 
So taking music and recording it the way you and some other people may prefer it is some kind of cultural theft meant to demean the original artist? I've heard all kinds of old rock n roll redone as rap or even heavy metal. Is this somehow a cultural theft of the original artists?

I find it all ridiculous. What ever happened to the liberal anthem of days gone by, "different strokes for different folks"?

Hip hop artists "sample" from real musicians all the time.
 
I disagree with the premise that someone doing something to make money using dishonesty all the sudden opens the dictionary to a new victimhood for rich blacks and the Lena Dunham, Rachel maddow liberal crowd. It happens all the time. Your name is literally Hollywood. You literally lived and worked around those freaks we call movie stars. The irony is suffocating.

I saw them all shaking their heads. Everyone in there showed up in a limo and was wearing a gordon gartrell shirt that costs as much as you think you are worth per hour as a lawyer.

Attention far left idiots hear ye hear ye Black people are starving to death and dying over the turf that controls the drug sales to white america. And somebody sang tutti fruity to the tune of a Lawrence welk intro? Pull your head out of your ass and lets go save innocent blacks from terrible circumstances instead of spending countless hours hero worshipping Michael brown and Freddy gray. They had their chance. There are kids right now, tonight Hollywood, that are scared to death because they know their only chance in life is to choose the right gang. 8 years old, hand me down clothes, one window unit that might be working tonight, no father, police sirens, gun shots,'drunks and crack heads yelling all hours of the night. Picture your kid in a situation like that. And somebody stole your art. Your art.

Black lives haven't mattered this little since the first slaves stepped over their dead brethren to get off the boat and become the first African Americans.
 
And because I called out Pat Boone and Vanilla Ice as a couple of poseurs, I get that lecture?

My name is "Hollywood" because another poster years ago, upon learning that I had taken a job in L.A. said, I was going "Hollywood" and I changed to that as an inside joke.

As far as "award shows" go, I can't say that I've watched any in at least 20+, because I don't give a crap about a bunch of celebs all standing around patting each other on the back, and for many of the same reasons you actually cited. (The only part I ever watch is the "in memorium" section of the Oscars and Emmy's.)

Your views of what my actual opinions are, are way off the charts from reality.
 
African Americans and Black Americans are no longer the same thing. Even the culture that should recognize that does not. So, I am not sure who is stealing what from who anymore.

I am the devil. I am a White American male with a good job. I am the most hated thing on the planet.

SAFE ZONE!! SAFE ZONE! WE need a safe zone over here STAT! I feel your pain man, my breakfast sandwich from starbucks was made by a hippyish woman who I can only assume was a liberal, lesbian, man hater. It was not warmed thoroughly. I bit into it and all I felt was cold dark hate.

But seriously.... I'm a white male with a good job, been on this earth for 41 years now, and I cannot think of a single time I've ever noticed being personally hated.

There is a huge difference between white guilt and realizing that as a white dude with a good job things usually aren't all that awful for me. I feel zero guilt for being white and a male. It has actually been a pretty good run. I highly recommended it.
He never said things were awful. He said he was the most hated thing on the planet.

Apparently you live in a hole.
 
Considering white males are the the cause of all social ills I am surprisingly free of white guilt or any guilt for that matter.

I must be a redneck rube.

- Also, was being sarcastic :cool:

Interesting. I'm just saying I've never felt as hated as Hitler, cancer or a-holes who drive slow in the fast lane. But I've probably lived a sheltered life away from the bigotry some of you face every day.

I was just correcting you. I also don't recall anyone saying they face bigotry everyday.

Thanks for setting me straight. You are right, saying you are the most hated thing on the planet doesn't technically mean you face bigotry every day. You face it a lot but maybe not every single day. I appreciate you keeping me on the straight and narrow and not letting me fall into hyperbole. If there is one thing this thread doesn't need it is hyperbole.
 
Whites are the spawn of Satan and his fallen angels. Look it up. It's a real theory. Fun stuff to read.
 
No one has mentioned the Gordon gartrell reference? The only time a boy needs a shirt that expensive is when he is on stage with his four brothers. Classic line.

Today I quoted the big lebowski and the girl I was talking to had never heard of it. She gave me the "how old are you" line.

I didn't say anything to the lady that told me to open something up in word perfect the other day. I felt like asking her the same thing but bit my tongue.
