I recently put out a video speech defending Bruno Mars from charges of "cultural appropriation"



Here's what I put in the video descriptions

Recently on The Grapevine (a YouTube channel devoted to panel discussions), there was a discussion on Bruno Mars (singer of Puerto Rican, Jewish and Filipino ancestries) and his performance of "black music". One of the speakers was a Seren Sensei who says she hated Bruno Mars, claimed that he was unfairly profiting from "black music", and that white people preferred "black music" from "non-black people of color". Seren Sensei criticized Bruno Mars was guilty of cultural appropriation, even though she (who is African-American) chose a Japanese nickname but can't even pronounce the word "karaoke" correctly.

In this video, I mentioned that hip-hop was started by a Jamaican immigrant DJ Kool Herc, had Puerto Rican involvement in the very early stages of development, had MAJOR contributions Kraftwerk (White Germans; innovators of electronic music), and had tons of Latino influences that are overlooked in discussions of hip-hop & cultural appropriation. I responded to Seren Sensei's claim that it was unfair that Bruno Mars got a Grammy for Album of the Year, and that Prince didn't get one, for which she claimed that the Grammy Awards was racist against "black people" NEVERMIND that Prince didn't win BECAUSE Lionel Richie won the same year his album was up for nomination. And I drop even more knowledge in this video speech.

And get this: Bruno Mars received official support from REAL African-American music legends like Jimmy Jam, Charlie Wilson, Ted Riley, Stevie Wonder and more

Bruno Mars and Cultural Appropriation

And the following needs to be shared with ANYONE who screams about "cultural appropriation", "culture theft" and a whole bunch of useless SJW buzzwords

===============

As for Seren Sensei, the "woke" SJW pansy who hated on Bruno Mars, here's some memes on her.

phony progressive called out for promoting a culture of silence

I traditionally use facebook more than twitter, but I do find that twitter has its uses.

With Twitter, you can send a message to someone not on your follower/following list by just publicly putting twitter handle on your posts!

I don't do this lightly!

However, some people need to be publicly shamed!

For example, longtime readers of my blog will remember that I had a beef with a few UHM professors in the LIS department for telling me to remain silent about my negative experience with an internship at the Hawaii State Library.

Their names are Noriko Asato, Andrew Wertheimer and Rich Gazan.

I found the twitter accounts for Asato and Wertheimer.

So I used their twitter handles to compare their telling me to remain silent is so alike the way others have told the victims of progressive sex offenders Dan Inouye and Harvey Weinstein to remain silent.

Scumbag bosses like Donald Trump demand that their underlings sign non-disclosure agreements demanding eternal silence.

Noriko Asato is a scumbag internship coordinator who wanted me to sign a statement withdrawing complaints about the internship at Hawaii State Library.

Ass-kissers at corrupt organizations tell others that "fighting for justice" in their cases will burn bridges in their careers.

Andrew Wertheimer actually said to me "you have burned a lot of bridges by fighting for justice"

He actually said that to me!

This is a guy who claims to be a "progressive", supporting all the right progressive causes, supporting all the "progressive" political candidates.

But this phony "progressive" tells me to remain silent about my negative experiences.

That is an act of war!

Wertheimer committed that act of war in 2016!

The following year, the #metoo hashtag gained widespread support as many victims of sexual abuse finally told their stories of being told to remain silent about their experiences.

Because they remained silent, nobody warned  unsuspecting people they would be the next victim of  politically and economically powerful sexual predators.

Because they remained silent, those politically and economically powerful sexual predators were not held accountable.

So much pain and misery could have been prevented if nobody told victims that they are  "burning bridges" and "hurting your career" if they report their experiences!

But that is EXACTLY what Andrew Wertheimer tells me!

Granted, my case wasn't a sexual abuse or harassment case!

But still, Big Injustice ALMOST NEVER start with Big Injustice.

Bullies almost always start by testing the waters by committing smaller injustice! They want to start by seeing what they could get away!

If they can get away with the small stuff, they'll try to see if they can get away with the medium stuff. Then they do the big stuff.

As someone who studied Jewish history, Andrew Wertheimer should damn well know that Hitler didn't start the Holocaust when he took power in 1933. Hitler started with segregation laws to stigmatize the Jewish population. When Hitler got away with that with minimal resistance, then he started the Holocaust.

And Andrew Wertheimer should damn be lucky that activists were willing to "burn bridges" and risk their careers to support Jewish immigration to the US, otherwise, his family would've been stuck in Europe and his family would've been victimized by the Holocaust, ensuring that Andrew Wertheimer would never had the chance to be born.

So based on all that knowledge, I put this tweet on twitter the other day

https://twitter.com/PabloTheMdTgrWr/status/982857958374567936 

Wonder why took so long for victims of Dan Inouye & Harvey Weinstein to come forward. Because many so-called "progressives" like @Drew_Wertheimer & @asaton2 tell younger workers that "fighting for justice" burn bridges in their careers! I was asked to sign this 3yrs ago! HellNo!

Yep, I publicly called out Andrew Wertheimer (@Drew_Wertheimer) and Noriko Asato (@asaton2) as so-called "progressives" and linked their behavior to what allowed Dan Inouye and Harvey Weinstein to get away with their heinous actions for so long! 


I put Noriko Asato on notice that her request for me to remain silent about the Hawaii State Library has become public information!


I put Noriko Asato Andrew Wertheimer on notice that their words to me can cause real serious harm to victims of injustice

=====

So what did Andrew Wertheimer do when his twitter handle was mentioned in my tweet?

He blocked me!

In other words, I got him!

He got my message LOUD and CLEAR!

But notice that he didn't apologize!

Apologizing is an honorable thing to do!

As we now know, Andrew Wertheimer and Noriko Asato are publicly exposed as dishonorable people! 

Andrew Wertheimer and Noriko Asato are publicly exposed as the type of people who enabled truly corrupt people to continue their actions with impunity! 

They are NOT real progressives! They are enablers  and scum!
