Subsequently the female and her male friend verbally/physically going at this white male student, have now, according to this video, deleted all their social media accounts, even her parents. LOL.

I can virtually guarantee that had she instead calmly approached him and said something along the lines of, "Hey. Is it alright if I talk to you for a minute?" and then sat down with him calmly and proceeded to say, "I respect your right to do what you want with your own body and apparel, and I'm not calling you a bad person or a racist person, but here's how this makes me feel, and here's why, and I just needed you to hear that, and at least think about it, regardless of your intentions, because it's easy for you to say this shouldn't be a big deal, but to me - to us - it is, because (insert history of misappropriation and oppression,)" this would not be the viral controversy it now is.

I've been a supporter of the premise behind things like BLM, because I do very adamantly believe racism is alive and well in this country, and that intersectional oppression exists and matters and needs to be addressed and talked about.

Here's a serious update for you. Majority of blacks do not agree with her behavior. Before you group us all together know that maybe some of us would have told her a** to STFU and go on about her business.
And here is another way too sensitive feminine American Male. You butt hurt cause the girl don't want a white boy rocking dreadlocks? How you think we feel when we're told we can't wear braids, afros, dreadlocks or certain hairstyles?
BTW your skirt is up

The problem here is not that she feels dreadlocks on a non-African American is cultural misappropriation. It's perfectly fine to believe that. I actually think there's even some (some) validity to that,
although that is clearly not the intent of this individual imo.
engage them in polite debate about the fact that you feel that way.
It's okay to walk up to him and respectfully and civilly say, "This causes me pain and makes me feel (insert emotion) because of X."
this would not be the viral controversy it now is.

But I've also said time and time again that any protest, any movement, any force for change, must have the moral authority

No. We are not all racist....
Yes, we are.
It is hard-wired!
We are either recovering, or we are practicing!
Denial = practicing!
Then we agree to disagree.

As I stated previously, I don't believe in cultural appropriation. I am only posting this for the humorous irony.
The 3rd guy in the video, the accomplice of the girl with the trench like coat on, has some splainin to do (Desi Arnez voice).
First, it was reported that he accosted another white woman for having bags from Central America and was trying to explain how it was CA.
Ok ok...here is the funny ironic part...
The guys name is public now and he has deleted all of his social media accounts, but he still has a facebook account. Here is one of his pictures I found...I swear, I can't make this stuff up.
