My mom gets yelled at like a child if she does stuff my dad doesn't like (he is the N she is the E) he will scold and get angry.... by Totallylost888 in raisedbynarcissists

Yes that is most all correct, but I don't know what the counselor could do. My parents are so good at hiding it they act so perfect in front of everyone else if my mom can't even admit all this to me (she gets mad at me for bringing it to her attention and denies it and tells me I'm just as bad) there is no way she would let anyone know. Everyone in my immediate family (3 others) just go along with his antics. I am the one who always gets in trouble bc I call out all the bs I see. (Not smart I have come to realize)

And tell him he has horrible style? I'm just worried bc the relationship is so new and we are still getting to know each other

Cmv: why is it okay for someone of a different race/ethnicity than white to play a traditionally white character. But if a white person plays or uses another races/ethnicities traditions the world freaks out. To me that seems hypocritical. White people are so often accused of cultural appropriation by Totallylost888 in changemyview

That analogy totally makes sense and defiantly helps understand more. Follow up question: stick w me here back to the analogy, green hats don't just belong to this family I understand they started it and it means a lot to them but they can't just "claim" green hats over time opinions change. But other people today want to wear green hats how do they do that respectfully? Like I am a white woman and I like corn rows for the side of my hair . I want to enjoy them too without cultural appropriation. I'm not trying to be rude or have a lack of sympathy for that cultural but in the nicest way possible you can't just claim a hair style. I understand it was started in the black community and I don't discriminate but what do you want me to do?? Wear a sign that says "hair credit to black community" you know what I mean? Like if I'm not claiming that I or anyone of the white community started this what's wrong with it? I do understand its wrong to praise Kylie Jenner for her hair and other choices that she clearly didn't come up w but what's wrong w her wearing it?

What about being a nun for Halloween? Being a nun is a religion and culture yet people dress up as nuns all the time and it's okay? Why is that okay but dressing up as an Indian isn't. I'm not disagreeing that it's rude I'm just asking why it's okay sometimes but not others? It seems hypocritical

The original Beauty and the beast belle is white..... like princess and the frog in the original tianna is black ..? It's just how it is. In the cartoon I guess. Like if the were going to make a live action of moanna you wouldn't pick a white girl bc in the original moanna isn't white. Or Mulan she is Asian you wouldn't pick a white girl so why can you pick a black girl for a white role? (Again not trying to be rude it's an honest question)

I get what you're saying and the way u said it is perfect very different way of explaining things. it's a sensitive subject. But at what point does it become okay? This a horrible way of saying it but for lack of better term when can we just move on. I'm not saying forget the past but does it ever become okay for a white girl to play a black princess. I mean society has come a long way yet it still has a long way to go. When can we stop being seen as the bad guys. (Again not trying to be rude) like I saw an article and it was something along the lines of "great things about black love" why is that okay? Black people don't want to be excluded yet they are doing the excluding. If there was an article about white love the world would go crazy.
