    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 when the fuck did I say that, cac? If you’ve never heard the song my username references, it’s by Jase Harley; but I don’t even know why I’m explaining that to some hookass euro peckerwood. Tell your right hand I’m sorry for the offense, you can’t tell me a debate pervert like you actually pulled a woman.

      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.

      You do realize your black culture is imposed on oppressed people by your country cultural imperialism, right?

        Completely, fundamentally, and emphatically incorrect. You know nothing of the mechanisms of cultural theft, or how far back their roots reach. We create works of art to cope with crackery and the pressing thumb it exerts; but then the crackers send in an Elvis, or a Jimmy Page, or a Vanilla Ice, or an Eminem, to rob the sauce, bring it to some Hollywood peckerwood, and whoops, our art, our clothing, our sound, our very way of life is getting peddled by the whites! Again!

        It keeps happening from rock 'n roll and the blues all the way up to “new wave” (which was really just the Disco that y’all killed, but bereft of substance or message) and rap. Thieves. Crackery is theft of culture, so it’s been, so it will always be until crackery is abolished. Stay the fuck out of my inbox, you literal refuse.
