It's too bad if they are "anti-muzzi" when, in fact, they should be "anti-terrorist" but hey, apparently that's not politically correct!
JMHO
Oh my....for Trudope and his LIE-beral pals, its all about the votes and there is NO concern about religion! After all, Our idiot Boy Justin has no problem calling himself a Catholic! And he has no interest in Islam either-other than if he can USE Islamic devotees for their votes!
Here is an article describing efforts by ethnic lobbyists trying- with LIE-beral help- to CONTROL the direction of public debate and limit free speech so their selfish agenda can be implemented. With some comments of my own in brackets):
Forget ‘cultural appropriation’ -- it’s about censorship

It seems to me the debate about so-called “cultural appropriation” is really about censorship. Cultural appropriation -- which can be positive or negative -- is inevitable.
Without it, Shakespeare doesn’t write The Merchant of Venice, Joseph Conrad doesn’t write Heart of Darkness, John Howard Griffin doesn’t write Black Like Me and Gord Downie doesn’t write The Secret Path.
(I have written before about how famed Cdn writer W.P. Kinsella was attacked by a native group simply for writing some funny books about life on a fictional Alberta Reserve-just another victim of “ cultural apporpriation”. After having his day in with bigots from Human Rights- but too often wrong Commission, it turned out that the complainant had not actually read any of the books and when he did so, he recanted and admitted that Kinsella had portrayed natives in a better light than was the reality- case DISMISSED- with sales of Kinsella books increasing nicely.)
The fact that they all did (write those books) is a positive thing.
So is the fact that through the appropriation of black music and musicians like Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf and many others, white artists like Elvis Presley, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and many others popularized black music.
That led to the blues, Motown, R&B, rap and hip hop breaking into mainstream culture, which in turn made global superstars out of Beyonce, Drake, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Rihanna and for that matter, Eminem.
All art is derivative, either “appropriated” from what came before, or as a rebellion to what came before. That’s how art evolves.
That said, it’s understandable why many indigenous people see the Cleveland Indians’ Chief Wahoo logo as an insult, or Victoria’s Secret using Native-American style headdresses on its models, or Katy Perry aping a geisha at the AMAs, or Miley Cyrus twerking at the VMAs.
As- ironically- pop/hip-hop superstar Nicki Minaj told New York Times Magazine in calling out white singers like Cyrus who mimic black culture:
“You’re in videos with black men, and you’re bringing out black women on your stages, but you don’t want to know how black women feel about something that’s so important? Come on, you can’t want the good without the bad. If you want to enjoy our culture and our lifestyle, bond with us, dance with us, have fun with us, twerk with us, rap with us, then you should also want to know what affects us, what is bothering us, what we feel is unfair to us. You shouldn’t not want to know that.’’
(Hey- dancing around on stage is a job-its entertainment and fantasy rolled into one. To suggest that airhead Miley Cyrus represents anything other than the triumph of female flesh being exhibited for public enjoyment is nonsense! Her act is all shock value and nothing more-if she could make more money and garner more attention from coming out on stage and reading Victorian poetry then that` what she would do!)
Fair enough.
But what about when a group like Black Lives Matter absurdly describes any objection by whites to anything it says or does -- such as demanding no uniformed police in Toronto’s Pride Parade -- as white racism and white privilege, while gutless politicians meekly fall in line behind them?
What about the indigenous groups, and indeed, whites, who denounced Sen. Lynn Beyak as a racist, resulting in her practical excommunication even from her own Conservative party, for pointing out that residential schools, for all the evil they did, did some good as well, a view shared by some indigenous people?
That isn’t about cultural appropriation.
It’s about silencing people -- and points of view -- by leveling false allegations of racism against them and intimidating others who share their views.
(It appears that our Human Rights (but too often wrong) Commission was created with the intention of using “libel chill” to bully people into silence. How else to explain the LIE-beral response to Cdns who scorn multiculturalism and Islamophobia? Even as the costs rise and the body count increases? It is NOT irrational to be disgusted with the parade of news stories detailing violence in western cities!)
Beyak ran into a shirtstorm because she touched the third rail of Canadian politics, how best to allocate the billions of tax dollars spent year in and year out on indigenous issues such as high unemployment, poverty, disease, suicide, drug abuse and imprisonment.
Do we stick with the status quo -- which clearly isn’t working because we can’t even get clean drinking water onto many reserves -- or do we deploy our resources to better integrate indigenous people into society, which inevitably attracts knee-jerk charges of assimilation, racism and white privilege, often from those who benefit from the current broken system.
(IN a society that mandates post secondary education for over 75 percent of its jobs- how can natives function when only 25 percent even graduate from high school? As for the boil water advisories on reserves- that is also a function of education as anybody educated enough to operate a water treatment plant also generally will not wish to live on some wretched reserve plagued with drugs, alcohol and suicides!)
(In one recent story cited by CBC, three reserves in western Canada all lifted their 20 plus year boil water advisories simply because one of their kids broke the pattern and went to college and learned how to operate the water treatment plant that had been built by govt years before and that had been sitting idle for years- with nothing needed but a competent operator!)
That’s what’s really going on here. It’s the censorship of ideas. Call it what it is.
(And lets also point to the ugly reality that collecting govt cash is easier than actually working for a living! For one thing railing at “white privilege” is easier and more fun than flipping burgers! Whining about white privilege feeds into a hugely unhealthy cult of victimhood that natives and BLM reverse bigots would do better to put aside and get on with life!)
(And it all comes back to desperate LIE-berals trying to BUY enough votes to cling to power as all their policies FAIL miserably! LIE-berals are encouraging disgruntled loud mouths for selfish personal gain!)
The true leaders are the people being smeared with islamophobia labels! Our politicians are the ultimate followers. Our Pet- Pierre Trudope- the father of Our idiot Boy Justin ran for the NDP in the early 1960`s- and failed miserably- sadly the NDP decided that Trudope was too left wing for them-AND for Canada as well! And during the campaign Our Pet called LIE-berals a "herd of spineless sheep"....but within 2 years Our Pet gave up on those ungrateful NDP types and was elected leader of the LIE-beral sheep!
Our Pet has been quoted by former Sun reporter Lubor Zink as stating " if I became prime minister, I would take Canada from the past into the future via the route of radical socialism"! The Trudope clan is expert at sounding out public moods and selecting voting blocks- such as civil service Hogs, Black Lives Matter reverse bigots, natives on reserves and immigrant/Muslim groups to coddle for personal profit.
LIE-berals watch the parade of public life and wait till it reaches an intersection and then they make an educated guess as to which direction the parade will go. Its why Our idiot Boy is prime minister- he guessed well but its also why Stephan Dion and Mikey Ignatieff are NOT in the Prime Minister office-they guessed badly and our public political parade passed them by!
LIE-berals only want to cling to power at any price- and will say and do anything for that goal- and Our idiot Boy seems so vain he might just quit politics if he could not amass such a nice pile of `selfies` as he travels about shmoozing gullible and greedy LIE-beral supporters!
Could you give us some examples of how President Macron has bowed down to the Muzzies? Or how Trump, May, or Putin haven't?
There is evidence that the most recent terror attack in London was performed by some goof who was on police radar in Italy and Italian cops WARNED Brits when the goof immigrated to Britain....but such is the hold of LIE-berals on the immigration system that there "was no real proof" that the goof was a danger"! LIE-berals only recognize Muslim danger when they have a gun to their heads and since all LIE-beral politicians have a good security detail around them they do not have to worry like ordinary people!
Its why Our idiot Boy Justin can happily return Cdn citizenship to the CONVICTED terrorist Toronto 18 gang-instead of firing them out of here! Our idiot Boy with his trust fund and fine govt salary and security detail THINKS he is IMMUNE!
