Most of you guys are probably aware of the recent case of the Jewish White Racist Snowflake Dreadlocks.Corey Goldstein is a student at San Francisco State University and he has dreadlocks and he is a DJ and he got accosted by some black girl in SFSU's Caesar Chavez student center for, in an allegedly racist manner, "culturally appropriating" his hairstyle which she claims is owned exclusively by her people.
"You're saying that I can't have a hair style because of your culture? Why?" Goldstein asked.Who is this white, Jewish kid to confiscate hair-styling from her people, anyway? Who are white kids or Jewish kids to wear anything that comes from formerly colonized Africa?
"Because it's my culture," she said.
The whole issue is entirely stupid along the lines of The Great Falafel Debate, but the question of "cultural appropriation" is interesting because it is out there on the Politically-Correct western cultural landscape. My suspicion is that it is basically an insect that can be easily quashed, but if we fail to do so it could transmogrify into a monster.
I have been hard on SFSU because, as a former graduate student there, I deeply resent the fact that the university continues to financially support at least one student organization that directly calls for more violence against the Jewish people. It is not that other universities that I have been associated with have not likewise supported such groups, but that SFSU is unquestionably the most vehemently racist.
The General Union of Palestine Students (GUPS) is advised by professor Rabab Abdulhadi and represents the kind of students that gather together at SFSU's Malcolm X. Plaza and raise their fists and cry out "Intifada! Intifada! Long live the intifada!," while wearing their fashionable terrorist scarves. The intifada, of course, is the attempt within Israel by Arab-Muslims to murder Jews. The caterwauling of Abdulhadi's students might as well be, "Kill the Jews! Kill the Jews! We all need to kill the Jews!"
I wonder how SFSU would respond if a bunch of students from Hillel gathered in Malcolm X. Plaza and called for the murder of Arabs or Muslims?
Given the double-standard and the fact that any form of Jewish self-defense is seen as a form of aggression, my guess is that the university administration would act in a manner both swift and harsh.
Former SFSU student, Muhammad Hammad
No wonder that a few years ago the president of GUPS, Muhammad Hammad - genius that he is - went onto social media to hold up his blade and discuss his psychopathological desire to kill Jews in Israel... and this as he was enrolled in the same class as a young female Israeli who was still a member of the IDF. He must have felt rather surprised when the university turned around and booted him off campus.Corey Goldstein and the Jewish White Racist Snowflake Dreadlocks issue may seem off-topic, but the fact is that Snowflake Nation supports the Big Lie against the Jews of Israel and should be confronted not only on the Arab-Israel conflict, but on their unrelenting and entirely mind-numbing insistence upon Political Correctness.
But the question of "cultural appropriation," in particular, needs to be stomped into the dust.
Cultural Appropriation.
The entire concept is moronic and whatever professor originally came up with it will burn in hell, if he or she is not already. It's just dumb. Every culture borrows from other cultures. No culture is an isolated social system that never borrows from other cultures. In fact, I thought that what we were supposed to get from the Multi-Culti Cult is the joyous sharing of cultural productions.
Y'know, we get to enjoy good Pakistani food and Jihadis get to blow us up.
Seems fair.
