Cultural Appropriation


Dreadlocks are now apparently the sole privilege of the black community. A white student at San Francisco State University was sporting this scuzzy hairstyle when confronted by a black woman as he left his class ... see: Yahoo Video. She accused him of "cultural appropriation" ... a new-age semantic foofaraw that tries to describe our increasing social insanity. For another of these catchy crazy cliches that those peacocks in ivory tower land concoct while they sit around grasping for sympathy, how about the term "white privilege?" What exactly does this lamentation mean? Perhaps it is a cultural appropriation?
