Should we borrow from other cultures?

[BidenPresident]

Cultural appropriation is the bogeyman of our time. Let’s celebrate the joy of cross-pollination

In many milieus, it is now widely accepted that decent people should avoid committing anything that might in any way be seen as a form of appropriation. One reason for this is that some cases of so-called cultural appropriation do amount to real injustices. It was, for example, immoral for White musicians in the US to steal the songs of Black artists who were barred from big careers because of racial discrimination, or for collectors in the UK to loot art from the country’s former colonies. But does the concept of cultural appropriation actually help to express what is wrong in such cases?

The Revolution has taken over all of the centers of power, even the churches....but the government is the prime enforcer and funder of operations.

We'll never have the solidarity that largely homogeneous nations do.

That's not what we like or want to think, perhaps,
but that's what reality has absolutely proven.
