(16,113 posts)what I think, what I don't understand and what I wouldn't be able to understand rather than making your point or refuting mine. It's also good to declare someone incapable of understanding a point you made very poorly or not at all. One of my favorites is "why can't people just understand X" and then after several weak attempts "if you don't understand, I can't explain it to you" or "I'm wasting my time"... because let's be honest, if our time (yours or mine) were all that valuable at the moment, NEITHER one of us would be posting here.
I'll make my point simple. Sure, it's annoying to some black people that 10,000 white kids show up to a hip hop concert with culturally appropriated clothing and hairstyles, but it pisses a lot of black people off if they paid to see a white kid on stage doing the same thing. The profit is a far more significant offense than than the cultural appropriation.
But hey, since you've declared yourself done with this conversation, I'm done too. Happy Holidays.
