Halloween 2018 Costume Ideas
 
hail TRUMP finally we live in a society where racism is over. People respectfully honor a patriot they love for halloween and a person of color can be in a position of power and tell everyone that everything is going to be OK

What are you going to go as for halloween?

Halloween is a European Pagan holiday.

Non-whites are culturally appropriating if they celebrate.

Gotta make em live by their own rules.

You can't culturally appropriate if you're in a hegemonic position of power and authority, and you use your influence to control who has a voice in our culture. The essence of cultural appropriation isn't just taking it, but commercializing it and using it to benefit yourself over the people who created it. When disenfranchised minorities participate in Halloween, they aren't benefiting from the commercialization because they aren't stakeholders.

At least that's what my wife would say about that, and about racism. It's awful but she's dynamite in the sack so I deal with it.

Getting her into your favorite flavor of Nintendo, talking her up on the forum. It's a pattern I've lived before. You'll probably survive the results but they might impact your health

So random white girls wearing native American headdresses at music festivals are stakeholders and benefitting from the commercialization?

I had no idea they were so industrial...

The idea is that the people ultimately benefiting from the commercialization of native american culture are white, like, it's probably white people who manufactured / sold them the headdresses.

Anyway that's not what I believe and I'm not going to do devils advocate for college campus liberalism in this fine thread about halloween costumes. Lune is just frustrated because this is the kind of shit his wife believes and she won't discuss it with him. So I'm arguing with myself through you

What if a black guy sold the white girl a native American headdress?

Who broke your law in that scenario?
