Cultural appropriation




Yep it is come to that in society, wear a garment, choose a hairstyle  not of your native culture and you are “appropriating” a culture not your own … decorate your space, or business with a cultural flare not your own and yep … you got it …you are “ripping off another’s culture” …hmmm this is from the society that says, “we are all equal, people are all the same, let there be no borders,  build bridges”….  a tragic oxymoron if ever I saw one… we are all the same,  but do not wear anything from my culture or build that bridge if it looks like my culture, because you are not in it !!! ????

Where have I seen that kind of behavior before … oh I got it in feral cats and in dogs… they go around pissing off their “space” to claim it as their own and marking their territory … classic animal behavior … but  we are “human beings” a step above animal behavior, aren’t we???  Must we piss off our territory and piss everyone off in the process of doing so???   

But wait I know a guy, whose culture he hopes you do appropriate,  the name of this guy is Jesus Christ … His culture is one of tolerance, mercy, love and forgiveness … yep, go ahead put on His cultural garment of faith, He takes no offense, in fact He delights in seeing you wear it!
