'White Girl, Take off the Hoops': New Claims of Racism Will Have Students Googling Before They Can Get Dressed

[bigheadfred]

If American racial divides have steepened over the past several years, certain college protests — such as those that single out students based solely on skin color — have certainly exacerbated those divides.

Now, at California's Pitzer College, a group of students is causing a similar stir, demanding that their white peers stop “appropriating styles … that belong to the black and brown folks.”

Namely, that “white girls” stop wearing hoop earrings:

Wow.  Maybe now they know how we (whitey Americans) have felt for years re: fragile blacks' feelings, and especially for the past eight friggin years! 

As one student, Nina Lee, said at the time: “We don’t want to have to tiptoe around fragile white feelings in a space where we just want to relax and be comfortable.”

Looks like these POCs are self-identifying as the real racists in America.]

That they are.

Obama was America's Racist in Chief for 8 years. And he instilled Black Power (hate Whitey) racisim in the Black community. The article, and the attitude it describes, is his legacy.

IMO, with this stupid crap, they completely delegitimize themselves.

They've had a small faction that has been doing it for years. It's simply acting out for attention. The reason people are hearing it more and more is liberal whites are making it an issue. Personally I wish someone with a pulpit would just say 'no', repeat as needed, and then let them all scream till they choked themselves to death.

Celebrities are exempt, especially if they also "appropriate" children belonging to black and brown folks.

Hoops are one of the most ancient forms of earrings and were found in most cultures that had earrings.

This is monumentally stupid.

Some people might ask when liberals will finally reach the outer limits of craziness?  The answer: there is no limit to the boundaries of liberal craziness.  The same ethnic types who are currently screeching about "cultural appropriation" have all appropriated many things from other cultures including the cultures of people they're accusing of cultural appropriation.
Hypocrisy (or plain bone ignorance) is common among these types.  They absolutely cannot see how stupid they are and how ridiculous their claims are.  If they feel it is so awful to live in nasty, racist U. S. A., then why don't they go back to their obviously superior countries from whence they came AND STAY THERE!!!

This is not a road some of these folks really don't want to go down in regards to "appropriating culture"

I have several pairs of hoops.  They're what I usually wear.  I just hope some SJW comes up and tells me I shouldn't be wearing them.

Next thing you know crackers can't be eating no "slap yo mama in the mouth" ribs in public?

Indeed.

Perhaps the SJW's at Pritzer can get a message to the Vikings about this issue:



(That's all stuff from a Viking horde found in Denmark in the late 19th century.)

Trying to deny me my right to eat BBQ is a fighting offense.
