Grimes on being called a Nazi because she's "proud of white culture" as custody battle continues

[totteringg]

I'm called a Nazi because I happily am proud of white culture. But every day I think fondly of the brown king Cyrus the Great who invented the first ever empire, and the Japanese icon Murasaki Shikibu who wrote the first novel ever. What if humans just loved each other?…

What is white culture? Stealing from others and claiming it was theirs to begin with? Undercooking unseasoned chicken?

The living embodiment of the words "I didn't mean it like that".

Combining the four corners of Europe, placing the west and northern traits on top, discarding anything that contradicts the Protestant Work Ethic and stuffing it into a sausage grinder until it resembles the abomination in Act 3 of Akira

I think it's making a dining table out of oak wood Winston Churchill once wiped his ass on.

I know you're joking but I have an honest question: are those people talking about opera and Mozart and stuff like that? Or things like TV shows with a white cast only?

Usually these racists are obsessed with Western Europe.

I dunno... I don't think they really have anything in mind, they just resent the idea that someone might criticize their behavior or tell them they can't do something. It's all reactionary, right? Like they might bring up... IDK ancient Greece or Rome seem to be popular, but it's not like they actually know anything about those places.

"White culture" is just...whatever they happen to like at the moment, and nothing they don't. It's a perfect unicorn that never demands self-reflection or growth. It's the refuge of cowards.

late but even if they meant that it would be... such a weird statement.
Like look, my country's culture is historically very white, and like every people on the planet we have our own culture and that's a great thing, but it has nothing to do with anyone's skin color. Just because it has been historically white, it should not be exclusive to white people to experience and share because we're not just white folks up here.

-Bringing up their one POC friend and mentioning that person's race all the time.

-If they're not stealing from other cultures, they're "saving" or "elevating."

-Voting for Obama

-Reminding POC that the Irish and Italians faced racism in the US

-Bringing up their European heritage even if they have no remaining ties
