    so what you’re gonna blame the kids doing rap for “appropriating black culture”?

    Yes, I am. Our very names, religions, cultures, and everything else we had when we were still Afrikan got taken from us by the crackers in antiquity; and now y’all tryna take this too, is the way I will forever see this dynamic. Until the collective You starts giving back in equivalence with the way You take.

    As of last Juneteenth, and likely until the heat death of the universe the way all y’all act (*this whole little fake indignance routine you’ve got going is SUPER cute but it plays into my point anyway), these little non-Black consumers are not, have no right to be, and will never be the culture. No memes, they are not like us; and I’m sick of the cosplay like they are when they make NO efforts to actually enmesh, reach out, or check in with ANYONE that they’re biting.

    They are not colleagues, they are fuckin colonizers.

      Now look friend I aknowledge and fully recognize cultural appropriation is a thing. I feel you have anger and it’s totally justified. But cultural appropriation is a part of imperialism and is forced upon us by media corporations, not some random dude listening to miles davis.
