The proper response would be “If you use electricity or ride in self-propelled vehicles you’re appropriating White culture”.

She was probably hoping for such a response, so she could report him for "hate speech".

Just who has "appropriated" what here? Are you saying I no-longer have the freedom to choose to wear dreadlocks?

If I'm no longer allowed to wear this, or look like that, or listen to X, drive Y, etc. etc. Just who has appropriated (ie. "taken") something? If anyone is guilty of taking something in that cultural group/demographic and the liberal fascists who decided it was theirs.

But of course, that's what liberal fascists do - they take away freedoms, concentrate power, and then have the gall to turn around and accuse their adversaries of exactly the those things.

“The Big Chill” was a movie about white people but the soundtrack was Motown. I imagine that’s illegal now.

Of course not, that music has been appropriated by black culture. Well, older black culture, I'm not sure what the youngsters (of any race) are listening to these days.

Oh, wait, we're supposed to be guilty of appropriation...yet it is liberals who have taken Motown and bestowed it upon black culture and we're not supposed to listen to it. Hmm. Nope, I don't see how we're guilty of taking something here...

Also, notice that at the 0:30 mark, her friend in the trench coat takes out his cell phone, and then she starts talking about “you put your hands on me”.

It was a setup. She wanted to provoke a violent response, with her partner recording just the response, but not the provocation. That’s why she was upset to see the guy having recorded the incident from the beginning.

"I don't need your disrespect," Goldstein tells the woman when she blocks his path and grabs his arm as he tries to depart.

Goldstein saying "I don't need your disrespect" and trying to leave is extreme aggression that probably caused this poor woman to feel unsafe. He needs to be expelled.

Black women are known for donning blonde wigs to give their man a little spice!

You forgot “The Philly Sound”!
(and I grew up in the 70s outside of Detroit)

Ohio Players, O’Jays, too many others...

[Note to you...Spinners were part of that Philly Sound.]

Only in The USA can a poor black boy, born in Gary Indiana, grow up to be a successful white woman.

Actually, they were a Motown band. Original group were from Ferndale, MI and recorded on Motown Records.

They moved to Atlantic Records and were produced by a Philadelphia guy, so they were both.

I’m from Detroit and always thought of them as Philadelphia Sound until I looked it up once.

70’s R&B is incredible. The confluence of sheer talent at one time was similar to the confluence of deep intellect in Virginia, Boston and Philadelphia during the founding of our Republic.

I love music, Any kind of music, I love music, just as long as it’s grooving.

The black will never be arrested for harassment, as she should be. Whitey is always wrong, but blackie is always right.

Spinners were from Ferndale? Wow. Mea culpa.
I always considered their style as “Philly”.
Hmmmm, I may need to “retrench”!

I have numerous friends from FD. Even my fraternity brother, US Congressman Gary Peters hailed from those suburbs (but, not specifically Ferndale).

I hate to tell you this. Peters is now a Senator and not one of the good guys.

I grew up about 15 miles from Ferndale, yet in a completely different world.

We have

A LOT

in common.

By FReep-mail (to avoid hijacking the thread), Who are your guitar “gods” (Fender, Gibson, Martin) from the 70s?
Just to let you know, I grew up about 20 miles from the Ted Nugent Ranch in Hanover/Horton/Moscow, MI
