THE INTERNET IS HOT AND COLD OVER KATIE PER HE'S LATEST
INSTAGRAM POST THAT FEATURES THE HINDU GODDESS CALL LISA
TAKE A LOOK AT THE INSTAGRAM THAT SHE POSTED ON WEDNESDAY.
SHE WROTE HASHTAG CURRENT MOOD WHEN SHE POSTED THIS
PICTURE OF THE GODDESS AND SHE IS FACING THE WRATH OF MANY
INDIANS WHO FIND THE POST INSENSITIVE AND ALSO A FORM
OF CULTURAL PROBATION.
I'M GOING TO READ YOU SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT SHE
RECEIVED IS BACKLASH OF THIS POST.
IT'S NOT RIGHT TO USE GOD AS A MIMI CAN JUST POST GOD AND
USE AS CURRENT MOOD THAT AS ARE BASICALLY TRYING TO SAY A
LOT I'M SO LIKE GOD.
WHICH IS VERY RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL THAT PLEASED
WITH THIS IS ONE.
THIS IS NOT CURRENT MOOD YOU DON'T OF THE REAL TRUTH
BEHIND THIS PICTURE IS RESPECT EVER RELIGION.
CALI IS THE DESTROYER OF EVIL AND SHE IS THE DIVINE
MOTHER IN THE HINDU RELIGION.
I LIKE TO GIVE EVERYBODY THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT AND I
LIKE TO OFFER THESE SORT OF SITUATIONS AS A MEANS OF
EDUCATION, RIGHT?
MAYBE SHE DIDN'T KNOW AND THE COMMONERS ARE PROVIDING HER A
LITTLE BIT OF EDUCATION WITH THE BACKLASH EXCEPT THAT KATIE PARRY
KIND OF HAS A HISTORY WITH SOME CULTURAL APPROPRIATION ISSUES.
BACK DURING THE 2013 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS SHE DONNED A
GEISHA COSTUME AND GOT BACKLASH FOR THAT.
IN HER DARK HORSE MUSIC VIDEO SHE DRESSED AS AN ANCIENT
INJECTION AND GOT BACKLASH FOR THAT AND ENTERING A ROLLING
STONES ARTICLE SHE SAYS I GUESS I'LL JUST TAKE THE BASEBALL
AND HOTDOGS AND THAT'S IT.
I KNOW THAT'S A QUOTE THAT'S GOING TO COME TO HAVE ME IN
THE ASS BUT CAN'T YOU APPRECIATE THE CULTURE?
I GUESS LIKE EVERYBODY HAS TO STAY IN THEIR LANE.
I DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS LIKE SHE KNOWS SHE IS DOING
SOMETHING THAT IS WRONG.
SHE IS AWARE AND SHE SAYS IT IS GOING TO HAVE HER IN THE ASS.
SHE KNOWS SHE'S GOING TO GET BACKLASH SO I DON'T KNOW
WHY SHE WANTS TO OFFEND PEOPLE.
I WANTED TO DO IT WHAT I WANT TO DO WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE.
I WAS VERY CURIOUS WHAT YOU GUYS HIS REACTION WAS ON
THIS BECAUSE I'M KIND OF ON HER SIDE.
DRAMA.
LET'S TALK IT OUT I AM NOT SURE THAT I'M RIGHT.
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT.
I THINK CULTURAL APPROPRIATION IS THE THING THAT IS USED
TOO MUCH AND HERE'S WHAT I MEAN BY THAT.
IN THE OLD
DAYS, THERE WAS.
FOR EXAMPLE, ELVIS TAKES ROCK 'N ROLL THEN ELVIS IS
AWESOME BUT THEN THE BLACK GUYS WHO ARE DOING IT WERE NOT GOOD.
THEYíRE SHAKING THEIR HIPS TOO MUCH.
I KNOW ELVIS GOT CRITICIZED TOO BUT A LOT
WAS AT AFRICAN-AMERICANS WHO ACTUALLY CREATED IT.
THAT WAS WHEN CULTURAL APPROPRIATION WAS USED
AGAINST AFRICAN-AMERICANS WHILE YOU STOLE THE IDEAS IN THE
MUSIC IN THE ART THAT THEY CAME UP WITH.
I KNOW THAT THAT STILL EXISTS IN A LOT OF FORMS TODAY
THOUGHT BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT YOU TOOK OUR FOOD ARE YOU
TOOK PART OF OUR CULTURE, YEAH, IT'S AMERICA.
WE TOOK THE BAGEL AND LOCKSMITH OF THE HOMICIDE WE TOOK THE
PIZZA WITH THE PASTA WE TOOK ALL THAT STUFF AND CALLED IT
AMERICA.
I DON'T THINK, YOU'RE RIGHT, HANNAH, IT'S A GOOD POINT
THAT SHE DOES KNOW THAT IT COULD GET HER IN TROUBLE.
SHE'S AWARE OF THAT BUT I DON'T THINK THAT SHE SAID THAT
TWEET LIKE A, HINDUSÖ SHE GOT MARRIED IN INDIA.
SHE RESPECTS THE CULTURE.
WE DON'T KNOW.
I AGREE WITH YOU.
I DO THINK THERE ARE LOTS OF PIECES OF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
THAT WERE STILL FIGHTING YESTERDAY LIKE WHEN PEOPLE DRESS
UP AS OF AMERICANS ON WHITE WOMEN GET A CLAIM FOR WING
DREADS AND THINGS LIKE THAT I THINK THOSE ARE BIG ISSUES THAT
WE'RE DEALING WITH TODAY THAT I DO THINK THE TERM IS SOMETIMES
OVERUSED WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT CAMPUSES THAT ARE SERVING
SUSHI AND THAT IS CULTURAL APPROPRIATION ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
DOING YOGA ARE CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE AND PRACTICED I DO
THINK IT GETS OVERUSED I THINK IN THIS CASE WE TRY TO DO
BECAUSE I'M NOT AS FAMILIAR WITH THE HAND OR RELIGION, I TRIED TO
PUT IN THE POSITION OF IF A PROMINENT JEWISH OR MUSLIM
ARTIST OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT POSTED A PICTURE OF JESUS ON THE
CROSS AND SAID HASHTAG CURRENT MOOD.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE PRETTY AFTER UP AND I THINK PEOPLE
WOULD TAKE THAT IS PRETTY AFTER UP.
I CAN SEE WERE THERE COMING FROM.
I HEAR YOU ON THAT I AM BEING HONEST HERE.
I AM HAVING TROUBLE EXPECTING MY OWN PERSPECTIVE AND MY
PERSPECTIVE IS AN DIAGNOSTIC'S AND?
THAT IS JESUS.
SO WHAT THAT WHEN THEY DRAMA HOMINID PEOPLE FOR ABOUT I
AM LIKE WHATEVER, THAT IS YOUR RELIGION.
EVERYONE ELSE DIDN'T SIGN ONTO NOT DRAWING,.
IF THEY HAD THEY WOULD BE MUSLIM.
OKAY, YOU RESPECT COLLEAGUE.
I AM NOT HINDU.
WHY DO I HAVE TO BELIEVE THE SAME THING THAT YOU BELIEVE?
I THINK THAT'S HARD AND I THINK THERE IS A SENSITIVITY
AROUND RELIGIOUS FIGURES THAT MAY BE MARGINALIZED SO MAYBE HER
USING THE SYMBOL SEEMS DISRESPECTFUL EVEN IF THAT
WASN'T HER INTENT AND I THINK WE CAN ALWAYS LOOK AT INTENT
BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HER INTENT WAS TO TRY TO ABSORB HER
OF WRONGDOING ABOUT FROM LEGAL SPEECH BUT I THINK IN TERMS OF
CULTURAL APPROPRIATION IS A FINE LINE AND I THINK TO YOUR POINT
ABOUT EXPANDING CULTURES AND BORROWING FROM CULTURES I THINK
THAT IT IS FINE AND SO YOU TRY TO KIND OF BENEFIT FROM
CULTURAL EXPRESSIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MARGINALIZED SO WHEN
NEIMAN MARCUS SELL SOUL FOOD IT'S LIKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THEY MARK UP THE PRICE 200%, IT IS LIKE THIS IS TEETERING ON THE
LINE.
AGAIN, IT'S A WONDERFUL DISAGREEMENT BUT AGAIN,
THEY MARK UP TURKISH RUGS PROBABLY HUNDRED PERCENT.
AND YOU CAN PETITION THAT THAT YOU CAN BE UPSET ABOUT THAT THE
I'M NOT.
HAVE ADDED THAT
IT SPEAKS TO THE DYNAMIC OF THE OPPRESSED AND OPPRESSOR.
I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT HISTORICAL CONTEXT THAT
TAKES INTO IT.
KATIE IS A CHRISTIAN WHITE WOMAN.
ALTHOUGH SHE SAYS SHE'S NOT CHRISTIAN THOUGHT
WILL SHE WAS BROUGHT UP CHRISTIAN THOUGHT NOW SHE
SAYS SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ANY RELIGION THOUGHT BUT I'M JUST
SAYING AS SOMEONE WHO IS BRINES OF THIS WORLD AND CAME UP WITH
WHITE PRIVILEGE AND GREW UP WITH CHRISTIAN PRIVILEGE SHE DOES
SORT OF FALL INTO THE POSITION OF A PRESSER FOR A LOT OF
DIFFERENT THINGS AND POTENTIAL HE PEOPLE INTERPRET IT.
FINALLY, LET ME SAY TO MY INDIAN FRIENDS.
I GET THAT.
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE TIRED OF GETTING PICKED ON AND
MARGINALIZED IN THE WORLD SPHERE SO JUDAISM CHRISTIANITY AND
ISLAM ARE DOMINANT AND SO PEOPLE WILL SNICKER AND THEY LOOK
AT THE GODS AND GO OF COURSE THERE ARE NOT MULTIPLE GODS.
THE CHRISTIANS WILL SAY INSTEAD OBVIOUSLY JESUS CAME FROM A
VIRGIN AND WALKED ON WATER.
MOHAMMED OBVIOUSLY TALKED TO GOD ON THE MOUNTAINS I
HELLO, HINDUS, YOUR STUFF IS OBVIOUSLY NOT TRUE AND MINE
IS.
IT'S SUPER ANNOYING.
NOW I'M AGNOSTIC, I THINK NONE OF IT IS TRUE.
I PROBABLY DON'T THINK THAT GUY OR THAT PERSON
OR GOD HAS ALL THOSE ARMS.
PROBABLY NOT BUT JESUS ALSO DIDN'T WALK ON WATER AND
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T TALK TO GOD AND MOSES DIDN'T PART THE RED SEA.
IS THAT THE ONE HE SPLIT?
I THINK SO.
YOU LOOK AT ME.
I GET THAT.
ANYWAY, LOOK, WHAT I'M
ASKING YOU TO DO IS I HEAR YOU ON ALL THAT AND YOU ARE RIGHT,
YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE BEST SIDE OF HISTORY FOR A LONG TIME.
NOW INDIA IS A LOT MORE POWERFUL AND YOU WANT TO SHOW PRIDE AND I
UNDERSTAND THAT.
WE HAVE TO LIVE IN THE WORLD TOGETHER.
LET'S CUT EACH OTHER LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK AND IF SOMEONE
USES YOUR GOD, THE TURKS ARE SO TOUCHY ABOUT THEIR LEADERS,
OTHERS SHOWING THEIR LEADER IN THE WRONG WAY SO I'VE BEEN
THERE.
I KNOW THE PRIDE THAT COMES ALONG WITH IT BUT IT IS A
BIG WORLD, WE HAVE TO LIVE TOGETHER.
MY OPINION IS LET HER USE KALI EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
SHE PROBABLY MEANS IN A GOOD WAY NOT A BAD WAY THAT SHE'S
NOT TRY TO MAKE FUN OF YOU.
SHE GOT MARRIED IN INDIA AND CONSIDERS HINDUISM AS A
POSSIBLE RELIGION SHE MIGHT GO INTO BECAUSE SHE IS ACTUALLY
OPEN-MINDED ENOUGH TO CONSIDER IT.
THAT IS NOT SUCH A BAD THING.
