Cultural appropriation is just another way to divide people in our country. We are a melting pot, where people blend together to work for a better life............ or that is what it is supposed to be. Folks tend to follow traditions in the culture of their parents and grandparents, but also to enjoy those of others.
Wednesday evening, we enjoyed supper in a Brazilian steakhouse, last night it was pizza, and Saturday night it will be in the Asia Café...... who knows what we will have tonight.
I'm not trying to appropriate anyone's culture, just enjoying it.

"A rose by any other name is still a rose"
And a thorn in my side is still a prick...

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear....Unless your a lying PIG

El Paso is a lot closer to Mexico... than Calgary is to Cuba......but It's not how "close" you are that matters...it's about how far you think you need to go.

Smok'n Cubans....Is what Texacans do during elections..

You can fool some of the people, some of time.. but all the idiots, all the time..

Texas ain't Florida.. they know "Fake Mexican News" when they hear it
Havana ain't El Paso

This is "THE ELECTION"... "You folks" are suppose to win....
but I got a funny feeling..
Even though I believe Texans don't usetheir ear wells as much as their oil wells
I got a funny feeling
Even though Texans believe the right man is always the RIGHT man
I got a funny feeling
Even though Texans think to have a head your shoulder.. it's got to fit a ten gallon hat
I got a funny feeling...
Even though Texans got the ALAMO....and beat their wives, kick their dogs, don't teach their kids...and hate Mexicans.
I got a funny feeling.
Even though Texans think El PASO is next to nowhere...It's a lot closer than Trumps NEW YORK.
I got a funny feeling
Even though Texans will suppress the vote, stuff the ballot box, deny the wrong kind of ballots, and segregate the polls.
I got a funny feeling..
I know it's a Longhorn Longshot..
but I got a funny feeling.

I think I got a Beto on it......I got a truth teller instead of "Lyin TED"... and 60 million reasons why..

I agree the "political correctness" thing has gotten out of hand. Saul Alinski would be proud of the Democrats today. They are following his Rules for Radicals perfectly but don't even realize what they are doing.

I cannot make any sense out of Jiminy's newest psycho-babble so I'll enjoy watching how you handle his comment.

    Quoting  :

Was just discussing these very points with some friends this morning....... especially how it minimizes the real victims of those things like racism, sexual harassment and abuse, etc.
And now, for tonight we are going to appropriate the culture of a good east Tennessee karaoke bar. That is a culture of its own, right? LOL

. My feeling is that every time I go to the local Jamaican restaurant or buy BoHo style clothing, I am not appropriating their culture. I am supporting their culture so that they can to earn a livelihood doing what they do best.

I don't bully Flotus....Do you think she's reading comments on this site?......How does quoting something a public figure said in an interview constitute bullying?......and where does the xenophobia come into it?...You're being ridiculous.

It is not my job to take your inventory but you do appear to be among the Melania bashing crowd and have a major league case of xen·o·pho·bi·a . In fact, you seem to bully quite a few folk. There are some who just consider you a laughing stock. Silly woman or man. You profile is not verified.

We remember how you spoke about President Obama and the First Lady.......Your hypocrisy is nothing new.......I see you have everything lined up and labelled. Catagorized by your gurus at Fux......

You say it's not your job to take my inventory, yet you continue to do so......Calling me a bully is obviously the pot calling the kettle black.......

Well, going to the karaoke bar fell through this evening, so we went to a Mexican and appropriated some of their culture............... like Star said, we helped them make a living. I even brought some back to the room, so we can appropriate some more of it.
