@TheBwoyDej @ariyondailey “Voting isn’t marriage, it’s public transport. You’re not waiting for “the one” who’s absolutely perfect: you’re getting the bus, and if there isn’t one to your destination, you don’t not travel- you take the one going closest.”

@psuedofame @sultryhbz @queenadeleslays That isn’t hyperbole either. The entire weekend is about sharing and mixing of all different cultures. But only some are allowed to be on the receiving end of that? No one has really found issue with it for the past 60 years or up until this.

@psuedofame @sultryhbz @queenadeleslays I don’t think there is anything to apologise for. Does this mean that we should cancel the carnival next year or are people not from the West Indies allowed to go?

@psuedofame @sultryhbz @queenadeleslays I think it’s really interesting how Americans are perceiving it though vs Brits or Jamaicans.

[iain @iaain]

@psuedofame @sultryhbz @queenadeleslays But anyway. I genuinely don’t believe this to be done out of any malice or appropriation. I just think that to America this looks like another Kardashian braiding their hair. It ain’t that.

@psuedofame @sultryhbz @queenadeleslays Because I like how pissed off trump is about this wind farm? It’s a funny 6 year old tweet from the real life president of America, that talks about an ongoing joke in Scottish politics that has 14 likes on Twitter. It’s fucking hilarious.

@psuedofame @sultryhbz @queenadeleslays Again - Black Americans. Not Black Brits or Jamaicans.

[iain @iaain]

@psuedofame @sultryhbz @queenadeleslays It’s so much the direct opposite of it that I don’t really understand your argument?

[iain @iaain]

@psuedofame @sultryhbz @queenadeleslays Of course there is racism? The Notting hill carnival is really not your example of it though.

[iain @iaain]

@psuedofame @sultryhbz @queenadeleslays Black Americans are saying it’s appropriation. Show me a Jamaican person saying it.

[iain @iaain]

@psuedofame @sultryhbz @queenadeleslays Like if we break down what the event is and what the definitions of appropriation and appreciate are, it’s clearly cultural appreciation.
