The thing I don’t get about this is that it’s just not. Greeks, Saxons, Armenians, Mesopotamians, Danes, Rus, etc all had a culture of hair plaiting and dreads that were derailed by Christianity.

🤦‍♂️

This is insanity. The snowflakes are winning I am afraid to say

Every culture that exists today 'appropriated' elements of its culture from another. That's how societies have evolved over the entire course of human history.

'Snowflake Comedy Club' - sometimes reality is its own satire.

GreatWhiteNorth

They think they are right 100 percent yeah nuts

IThebar is run by a think tank: UQAM branch of the Public Interest Research Group, non profit organization funded by banksters and NWO. Just a guess.

For fuck sakes

The comedy club was appropriately called the ‘snowflake comedy club’....i think it was on some university campus which explains a lot.

This guy can't have dreads but Trudeau can play Mr dress up on the world stage..

Wait ... this happened in Montreal? In Canada? WTF is going on? This is complete idiocy! Its a freakin hair style ffs !!!!

Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!

At least the venue carries the appropriate name -Snowflake Comedy Club! You just can't make this stuff up

I guess we gotta stop playing blues, rock and roll and all that came after it. Why does it have to be cultural “appropriation” and not cultural “appreciation”.

This is so dumb. Little boys can identify as a little girls, white ladies can say there Indian, but a grown white man wearing his hair a certain way is where we want to draw the offensive line.

Lefties, at it again.

RealKidPoker what about this do you like? Honestly curious.

You gonna love this one.

Welcome to the new world kids, enjoy it...

Montreal is a cesspool of hate and bigotry...

Now if they would go after all the white boys who think they are black to pull their damn pants up over their butt cheeks that would be great.

Almighty Jah, save us from ourselves!

Ok, fine. We can play that game too. I better never see a black guy in a cowboy hat or else I'm gonna cry and throw a hissy fit and claim that they are being 'violent' towards me. The name of the club 'Snowflake' is very appropriate, lol.

Check out this video of a white man born and raised in Jamaica. So if this guy goes to Quebec, would he be considered a case of 'cultural appropriation?' Even though, being Jamaican is all he knows?

Montreal is garbage.

Guys... The comedy club is actually called the 'snowflake comedy club'... Like wtf.

I always said: “dress for success”🤷‍♂️

Our PM delights in maximizing his dress up ‘cultural appropriation’ at every possible opportunity. It’s respectful when he does exactly this while simultaneously describing his opponents with words like ‘racist’?

Locks have been worn for various reasons in each culture:

Wait a minute, if hair is cultural appropriation then what do we tell immigrants to our country? Do we say, whatever you do don’t act Canadian? Do we tell them they have to pretend they never left their country of birth? Deluded CulturalApptopriation

How is a hairstyle racist? He has a black vest on - should we give him life for that? Maybe we a getting a little tooo sensitive.

Sad. The new puritanism rolls on. Don't get me wrong, this guy could be bad on stage, but to not even get the chance to bomb because of how you look...

Should file a human rights case.

This is fully insane.

Enough of this nonsense already. Cultures borrow things from other cultures all the time. That’s how societies grow and improve. Just stop this shit.

Whose culture? You surely don't mean African American or the ever iconic albiet stereotypical Jamaican? Because It's Indian/Egyptian in origin. everythingisappropriate

Sillier and sillier. Check the Celts

I'm offended! This is culturally appropriating ancient Greeks by claiming culturally appropriation for Blacks because a white guy was wearing dreadlocks! The ancient Greeks are being slandered and ridiculed here. Sad.

There's nothing worse than one ethnicity appropriating the hairstyles of another ethnicity.

I would like some liberal-minded snowflake to explain to me how in a Multicultural Society something could be culturally appropriated.

Perfect name for the comedy club.... Snowflake

Biggest cultural appropriation person ...oops ...peoplekind...in Canada is Justin.

Bumclot!!!

Is it also cultural appropriation to go to Jamaica and pay a lady to put dreadlocks in my hair so she can provide for her family? Is everyone losing their minds? Or is this just nonsense to cause divide within our once peaceful society?

Speaking about cultural appropriation...

Time to sue. Black people are not the only ones to have had dreadlocks in the past.

Absolutely fu—king ridiculous. That’s what happens when you allow the Left to call the shots.

Wow I hope he sues for discrimination.

It just keeps getting worse and worse, just when you think things can't get any sillier - it does

bryttan77 Racist québécois. Come to Alberta we don’t mind dreads at all

Ummmm I thought it was called a hair style?

joerogan check this brah!

Idiots, beyond stupid. but have they not heard of Vikings?

My mom looks Swedish with blonde hair and blue eyes. But she also has a strong Jamaican heritage. Her dad was white, however, she never met him. So she only grew up with my black grandma, black uncles/aunts, and black cousins. Shouldn't she be allowed to feel proud of her roots?

It’s only ever cultural appropriation if you’re white.

eliasmunshya you have little knowledge on culture appropriation . It is common knowledge that dreadlocks are linked with people of African descent, in particular, Africa diaspora. In Africa, communities had dreads, e.g Kikuyi. Men in Kikuyi religion still wear dreads to date.

“Mental health is an essential part of our well-being, yet too often is treated differently than other forms of health.' Trudeau said in May 2018. This is living proof that idiocy has gone too far.

All non whites in the western world are culturally appropriating from Europeans. They should stop it right now and do only things appropriate to their foreign culture... right, PC police?

I'm surprised the venue is named the Snowflake Club

Cultural appropriation is one of the dumbest concepts I've ever heard of. Right up there with Flat Earth and chemtrails.

Dreadlocks themselves are not equal to BlackFace. Sitcom culturalappropriation is real & used for racist comedic effect.

With this logic, black women shouldn't be allowed to have straight hair because that cultural appropriation as well.

He is not Celtic?

He needs to cut his hair, it's too long and he looks like a girl. My son had long hair once and all of the kids in his daycare made fun of him.

Bahahaha! Oh just stop. First world problems!

OMG the name of the place he isn't allowed to perform at is the 'Snowflake club'. 😂😂😂👍 LololoL hahahhaahhah

Is this a violation of the comedians human rights ? They are openly stating that it’s not the dreadlocks but his race that’s the problem here.

LOLOLO The fucking place is called... Snowflake Comedy Club Poitras, denied a spot at the Snowflake Comedy Club and another evening of “engaged humour,” declined comment on the situation.

You don't like Trump? Because this is how you get Trump.

Oh look the right goes from hating white hippies to supporting them due to being rejected by the cultural appropriation police.

Ah, but this one is ok?

aliénation mentale

This should give him lots of future material. I don't see how fighting racism with more racism is gonna work, it has never worked in the past. what REAL people know is you judge a person by their character first and only.

What’s acceptable by one but never another. The society we live. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ironically the comedian’s name “Poitras” originates in Brittany which was and still is a Celtic region of France. Celts wore dreadlocks. Romans described the Celts as having “hair like snakes”.

More proof that Montreal is full of bozo's.

But what if he identifies as a black man?

That's funny.

What the hell is this. Are they serious?

Total madness

Magic Kingdoms are Tough LOL ItsATizzyYall LeftyMeltyDownyzzzz Again SitBegRollover

In a free country, person of any race, can wear their hair as they wish. Hair is an expression if individuality. This is a strangely racial decision of some sort that is just odd.

'An aspiring Montreal comedian has been told he cannot take part in shows at a university bar because his dreadlocks are a form of cultural appropriation' 🤣😂

The media mind control machine is kicking into overdrive

Give that man a Gillette.

This is ridiculous nonsense. You know that right?

Is this a joke?
