I find it ridiculous. On one hand those super liberal lefties claim that we are one human race, race doesn't matter, is a social construct, etc. - on the other hand when you behave like this you are literally Hitler.
Come on. Exchange of cultures always happened. Whites don't start around telling other ethnicities to not wear jeans either. So stop making a non-issue into some butthurt issue.
She wasn't dressed as the Virgin Mary. She was dressed as an African goddess called Oshun who's a goddess of fertility. Also white people dont own the Virgin Mary. She was born and lived in the Middle East.

Oshun.

Preach!
@helloitsmethere 🙌 Thank you! There's thousands of goddesses, people need to educate themselves before they run their mouth.
Right? I saw this take with Beyonce on it and I was like, "hell to the naw..."
Beyonce's team even said her outfit was inspired by Oshun...
I don't understand how people got 'Virgin Mary' from this costume. I have seen people wear something similar...
@helloitsmethere I'm neither a huge Beyoncé fan nor a hater. I like her just fine and it's pretty clear she's a fertility goddess! She's wearing gold... no blue or white and like only mary is depicted as wearing a crown? I mean the hell? Because Christianity is the only belief system that's ever existed 🙃 I literally am so annoyed that people have found a way to turn this into something it really isn't. She's quite clearly not Mary. People really need to educate themselves on other cultures and dieties and art because it really shows how ignorant other people are about the world. Plus Mary was a god damn Arab.
Ikr! People are so ignorant sometimes.
because everyone praises beyoncé like she's some kind of queen. i fucking can't stand her, fake ass bitch. and everyone that follows her i consider a sheep, a loser, unoriginal. apparently because she's "queen B" she can dress however she wants. no... she's not special. ugly ass lady.
Cultural and Racial Appropriation is fine with me . done respectfully .
to say . i am not stealing your culture . i am admiring it .
adopting and infusing its beauty and its essence into my consciousness .
Actually.. She was imitating the African Goddess, Oshun! Research is everything!
Also, I see school is really shit these day's cause there are many East African countries that have similar garments and traditions that of Indian one's. Smh.
Not really...

She may have wanted to impersonate the African goddess - in spirit, but in reality... she was 'the virgin Mary'... I guess owning up to it would've been too controversial... But hey, whatever works for her.
*She has Egyptian motifs on her dress, though... that is true.
Still not buying it. The Virgin Mary isn't the only person who wore veil's nor crown's and etc together. Post those type's of example's up darling.
She literally was dressed as Oshun. Jesus Christ. She looks nothing like Mary.

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...3733253bc6.jpg
That's what she looks like. Crowns don't belong to white people.
@Blonde401 jesus thank you🤗 at least someone get's it! #love much appreciated darling.
No problem :) it's pretty damn clear who she's taken her inspiration from! She looks just like Oshun.
ha, there is only one culture silly. Those with money and those without. All those examples were not about culture but about money. Dress like you want to dress. You will get teased and bullied no matter what you do as that is how public schools and the media raise people. Humans are devolving.
She's dressed as an African diety so there goes your mytake idea lmao
I don't know why people make it seems like it is something wrong , I think it's beautiful to see cultures being shared this way. It means they appreciate your culture it is not an insult towards the culture it's more like the opposite to me
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CULTURAL OR RACIAL APPROPRIATION. IT'S JUST THINGS THAT PEOPLE WEAR AND DO. IF WE WERE ALL SEPARATED IN INTERESTS, BELIEFS, AND FASHION, AMERICA WOULDN'T BE SO MULTI-CULTURAL. CULTURAL DIFFUSION, NOT CULTURAL APPROPRIATION. STOP FREAKIN SPREADING THESE LIES!!!
The whole thing about cultural appropriation is completely ridiculous. You don't "own" fashion. People can wear whatever the fuck they want whenever the fuck they want.
'Vanessa Hudgens got a lot of heat for 'appropriating' Indian culture because she wore a bindi, but Beyonce is adored for dressing up as Virgin Mary?'
But the virgin mary was middle eastern
And Beyonce dressed up as Oshun, an African goddess...
s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...6c52b03a59.jpg
Black Americans did not come from the middle east. Try again
@SuccessfulHornDog Neither did europeans, and The middle east has always had a lot of people of African descent
They aren't black. According to FBI statistics the are considered white. I don't agree with that but it is true
@SuccessfulHornDog
Except unlike the people who are complaining, they aren't freaking WASPS
Nobody likes you. everyone thinks pancakes are way better
@helloitsmethere
look a random guy claims no one likes me,
Does it sound like I freaking care
I think you replied to the wrong person mate.
@helloitsmethere
Ah dammit,
well @sucessfulhorndog
A random guy doesn't like me, does it sound like I care.
I guess you told me
Hey she's dressing egyptian , and that white can't wear black ppls way of clothes that's absolute bullshit like really only a retard thinks of that , dressed like Mary the virqin hell are you gucci for Mary
She's actually supposed to be the African goddess of fertility called Oshun.
@Blonde401 as I said egyptian
Nigerian actually.
@Blonde401 exactly egyptian
No. Nigerian.
@Blonde401 thank you for supporting that she's egyptian much love
Trolololololololol
I honestly don't care I'll adopt any aspect of any culture I want to that's freedom. It's not just white or black or Japanese culture but it's also human culture. You want to stay in a box fine but don't force others to.
If someone thinks this is racist they're shallow
This is just universalism
The only reason I can think of is that the appropriator did not live and struggle within the culture they are appropriating.
Other than that, who cares.
Cultural and Racial Appropriation, terms created/modified by certain people to cry over stuff they can't control.
I totally agree. People need to shut up about the PC stuff and let people be/dress how they want.
entitled whiners don't require logic or sense to play the victim card.
College is a white male invention, are other races and women "appropriating" by going to college?
the concept of cultural appropriation is 100% stupidity.
Should anyone be allowed to dye there hair blonde or red? Or is that cultural appropriation? what about straightening their hair?
