Michael B Jordan accused of cultural appropriation

Loch121 said:
I doubt his intent was insidious, but if it's a problem he can hire some ppl from the Caribbean or change the name if that's an option.

I don't think black ppl in America would really care if some Caribbean person had a product referencing Juneteenth or our history.

Number 1 Americans don't really GAF about what ppl do outside of America and we would never even know.

Some niggas could have been selling Civil rights cakes in Haiti for all I know.

So you just missed this part of the article
"According to Shakur, Herc is a founding father of Hip-Hop, but he has been misrepresenting his role in the founding of Hip Hop on various news outlets."

They acknowledge him as a founding father. What they're disputing is how big of a role what many have deemed the initial start of hip hop being a series of block parties played. So your own source disagrees with you

Them calling him a founder is like you calling ya moms boyfriend unk, its just to give him props for putting in promo work for the culture. It ain't nothing.
 
I think Michael business partner is Trinidadian so he probably decided to use a word from his friends culture

Not to me it's not

because American culture is popular culture,we don't really pay attention and would have to dig deep to find out that some company is using our culture.

That shit don't even cross our radar.

Shit everywhere I go they got a version of black, rap or hip hop culture Go in a Chinese,Japanese,Indian,whatever restaurant and they playing some damn auto tune Indian version of trap or RnB music .

In general I care but specifically not so much.

If this was a white person,I could see the outrage.

But if it's an issue he should just change the name or like I said hire some ppl from that culture and maybe do some charity.

Don't know if you ever watched the show Rubicon. It was one season but if you watch it you know someone high up in government or intelligence got that show tf outta here.

Same with Utopia.

Ohhhhhh I used to watch that.

It was cool but it was like the Diet Coke of Entourage.

I think it got cancelled because ppl didn't watch it.

Sarcasm!
 
That show was not popular when it was out.It never caught on.

The only reason it got a 2nd season was because it was Mark Wahlberg's show too.

From what HBO said,ppl weren't watching it.

They also cancelled the show Hung and Bored To death around the same time for the same reason.
