About cultural appropriations and how to connect with eachother. | Christine Otten | TEDxHaarlem

[@NatashaRaisorGlam]

This is a time we all need to connect. Some many things in the world are often. If we all connect we can make real change.

everything she said was interesting, but after 12:30 everything had a much deeper meaning to me, especially the characters part

[@andrewjames160]

The first tattoos came from French Polynesia and China . Ears being pierced originated in Austria and Italy . Pierced nose began in the Amazon , Asia and Africa . Braids came from Vikings and Egyptians Himba people Origins of makeup Egyptians Origins of gold teeth are Germany Coloring your hair came from the Greeks and the romans Coloring your nails came from China Mohawk hair cut came from native Americans

Wrong at the very start. Just about EVERY society and culture had some form of tattoos. It did not start with the Chinese and no you can't prove otherwise. This goes with everything else you've pointed out. Archeology is full of so called scholars whos biggest claim to fame is being in denial when someone has an opinion that differs from their own.

Interesting to know, why Christine Otten would think it was okay for her to use some form of the n-word [n#*ga's], @06:02 & @09:20? I wonder if she asked someone for permission or that it was thought not to be necessary.....

[@taurtue]

Asking someone for permission? Is that how it works?

[@stribakkiri]

@@taurtue About using the word[s], not quite sure. But for the organisation where the talk was, i was wondering about that....

[@hermionehart3091]

@@stribakkiri I think it was approved because you have to practice on that stage over and over again for like a week before the actual event. So it wasn't on the spot and they wouldn't have captured it in the video otherwise

[@stribakkiri]

@@hermionehart3091 ochkay. I did not know that bit of info about the practice period of time. And it makes sense about it being recorded, yes. Quite interesting.

[@preetsrivastava7970]

can it go both ways ?

[@asiaahmed7853]

Was it necessary for her to say the N word at 6:00, I don’t really care if it was the name of the poem as someone working in anti racism she should know there’s no circumstances for her to say that word

[@xsarchitect]

You are a moron. That word should either be available to all of us or none of us. If you need someone to explain that to you then you really are a lost cause. Have a nice day.

[@hermionehart3091]

She wasn't using it with ill will. Merely just reading the title.

[@pouncepounce7417]

In the end the concept of cultural approbiation means we have to ban mixed marriage, it produces ... how was that word? halfbreeds. Not fish not meat. People who CAN not belong. For that reason the concept is very disturbing to me.

There's a difference between appropriation, assimilation, exchange and so forth. Sometimes the differences are nuanced but they are there (in the socio-economic context)
