Hoops, There it Is!


Again, I battle the hate-filled extremists who want cultural segregation.

We're talking about the Phony Justice Warriors who rant against "cultural appropriation"

These Phony Justice Warriors who rant against "cultural appropriation" are The Epitome of venting recklessly!

A recent example involved 2 Latina activists  Alegria Martinez and Jacquelyn Aquilera, both of whom attend Pitzer College. Both stated that Anglo women should stop wearing hoop earrings (which are popular with Latina and African-American women)  because it is "exploitation" and "never yours to begin with".

But the hoops earrings did NOT start with Latinas.

The earliest hoops earrings that we know about came from the Sumerians who were living in what is now Iraq thousands of years ago.  Romans, Greeks and Vikings (all of them Europeans: white people) wore those hoops earrings too!

But Alegria Martinez and Jacquelyn Aguilera who preaches to "white people" to "learn your history" about "white oppression" sure didn't learn the history of hoops earrings.

And a few months earlier, Helin Jung, had an article on Cosmopolitan (since deleted online) complaining about Victoria's Secret using Asian styles in their fashion show, as if it was just a bunch of "white people" "stealing" Asian styles.  Without regard to the fact that one of the designers involved was Arpana Rayamajhi (who happens to be of Nepalese ancestry).

So it it was Helin Jung that disrespected Arpana Rayamajhi, not Donald Trump or Steve Bannon!

And Katie Kloss got some heat for a photo shoot wearing a kimono, as if there's supposed to be cultural segregation going on!


But here's a video from a woman who grew up in Japan, and noted that many of things we associated with Japanese culture actually started somewhere else




Too Much Reality for some to handle!
