So now international news talk about it: A reggae concert got cancelled, because the musicians were white men wearing dreadlocks.

“In the Swiss capital Bern, the concert by the reggae band Lauwarm was canceled by the organizer after several spectators complained about " cultural appropriation ". They felt "uncomfortable with the situation" because two members of a white Swiss band wore dreadlocks, the band also played Jamaican reggae music and also wore colored clothes from Senegal and Gambia:

“The owners of the venue - the cultural venue and restaurant "Brasserie Lorraine" - then decided, after talking to the band, to call off the concert. The whole thing happened on July 18 and was picked up by several Swiss media. Now, over a week later, the organizers released another statement .
"We would like to apologize to everyone who felt bad about the concert. We failed to deal with it enough in advance and to protect you, ”says a Facebook post from the brasserie. "Our awareness gaps and the reaction of many guests to the cancellation of the concert have shown us once again that the topic is emotionally charged".

It gets even more absurd. The JSVP -- the juniors of our version of xenophobic populism -- brings a charge against the venue because of "racism against whites". The left is divided on the subject, completely incompetent and leaves the field to the populists.
What's more: After the reports of the cancelled concert, the venue got a ton of negative reviews on Google. Now, 2 days later, all those comments are miraculously gone. Instead you can read nice 5-star reviews about this "all-round great place". How did this happen? Answer by the venue: “We have been inundated with hate mail and comments over the past few days. We currently have no capacity to answer any further questions about the incident."

We don't have this kind of problems in France, for the moment. ;) There are plenty of reggae bands with white musicians playing shows here without anyone complaining about how they look like. :cool: I can quote Danakil, Tryo or Pierpoljak. All are fine with their respective and respectful fanbases. :)

I really don't understand what is happening in Germany currently. :rolleyes: Everyone has the right to wear clothes that he/she wants or to have a haircut styles that makes him/her happy... B) This world is becoming more ridiculous day after day with all these crazy polemics... :facepalm:

The guys who doesn't want white people to wear ethnic clothes and those who are saying racistic things after all this non-sense should open their eyes and see that they are so many things that are a lot more important than this shitty blabla (:turd:) about clothes and that they can cost their lives as the global warming, for example, all the forests fires that are destroying Nature in Europe nowadays, some wars that are raging around the globe and the looming global famine... ::) These matters should be more important to them than some rags... :ninja:
 

Saudi woman given 34-year prison sentence for using Twitter | Saudi Arabia | The Guardian

Salma al-Shehab, a Leeds University student, was charged with following and retweeting dissidents and activists
amp.theguardian.com amp.theguardian.com


“Salma al-Shehab, 34, a mother of two young children, was initially sentenced to serve three years in prison for the “crime” of using an internet website to “cause public unrest and destabilise civil and national security”. But an appeals court on Monday handed down the new sentence – 34 years in prison followed by a 34-year travel ban – after a public prosecutor asked the court to consider other alleged crimes.”

Saudi “courts” seem to like her age, or WTF is that...
:mad:

Edit: “courts”

... and the cancelling of white Reggae musicians who wear dreadlocks goes on...

"The Zurich bar "Gleis" canceled the performance announced for August 16 by the Austrian guitarist Mario Parizek, who wears dreadlocks, as reported by the "Neue Zürcher Zeitung", among others. People from their own team also addressed the topic of cultural appropriation and said that they "didn't feel comfortable with this performance," according to a statement from the restaurant on Facebook. The reason for the rejection was not the hairstyle itself, but the "discomfort" expressed." (google translated)

Veranstalter fühlten sich »unwohl«: Weißer Musiker mit Dreadlocks darf nicht in Zürcher Bar spielen

Seine Dreadlocks trug er angeblich schon als 13-Jähriger. Nun wurde der Auftritt des österreichischen Gitarristen Mario Parizek in einer Zürcher Bar kurzfristig abgesagt. Die Frisur sei nicht der Grund – aber irgendwie doch.

Maiden and their British peers should now reclaim Heavy Metal for themselves! It certainly makes British people feel "uncomfortable" if US bands "appropriate" their culture!! One more reason to cancel Metallica!!1¨!

I'm not even a Reggae fan, but I feel tempted to grow dreadlocks.

Saudi Arabia. 'Tis a silly place.
 
Seems like a question of definition, but I doubt these dust clouds will ever get called moons. The possible 9th planet in our solar system may or may not be "hiding" behind Pluto, but logically, there may be a 10th or 11th planet as well. Essentially, both examples make it clear how little we know about space; anything we accept as "fact" today could be proven wrong tomorrow.
 
According to spanish meteorologists of the AEMET and to the american NHC Atlantic, a tropical storm could transform into tropical hurricane and strike the north-west of Spain and the south-west of France on september the 10th... :eek: This meteorological phenomenon is due to the warming of the Atlantic ocean... :(

It’s weird that it comes from Spanish AEMET. The meteorological news in Tv only tell about disasters once it has happened.
Anyway the Mediterranean Sea is at 30C ( too hot)
2 days ago a hailstorm fell at northwest of Spain. It was so strong that each hailstone was the size of tennis balls destroying houses, cars, trees, hurting over 70 people and worst of all killing a 2 year baby girl :(
