Ok...so where do you draw the line when being offended? Case and point - hip hop artist largely need more

than just the African American community to be as successful as they are. But I see some of accuse white

people of biting off the culture. Yet, if it didn't appeal to other cultures worldwide as it has, then we wouldn't

gain the success from it that we have. But we're not complaining about the money. So where is the line and

how far before its hypocrisy?

I can't say, I can see both sides of the argument, there's pros and cons. As you mentioned rap's popularity has exploded worldwide but with that you get the miley cyrus, katy perry, iggy azaela, post malone, types who come in and only use the genre to make themselves rich or stay relevant. How much are black artists making off of collabs idk, but it's an aspect glossed over in these discussions no doubt. Like, how much did T.I. make off of iggy after taking her under his wing and then helping her blow up, had to have been a grip.

I think once something becomes so big it's impossible to keep the vultures and opportunists out, it's just something that you have to deal with and at profit from it as much as you can, that strike it while it's hot. Cus at the end of the day, it's a career and it's all about the money in one way or another.

Dude on my tl made a status about terminating his parental rights. Second time in a week I've heard that mentioned. I feel to even consider that as an option makes you terrible.

Better than treating the baby like he or she is worthless or possibly endangering he or she.

Yeah but I'm not limiting it to just music. Is it cultural appropriation when a black woman gets a perm instead of going natural, as much as a naturally thick white woman is for posting her backshots on IG, or a black man for wearing a three piece suit and Windsor knot over a dashiki?

Cultural appropriation is only done by the dominant culture. At least that's how it's carried. Us wanting to fit into a white standard is coping.

I knew from day one Miley was gonna turn her back on "hip hop".

She's gonna end up doing country, do a duet wit her dad, and probably won't talk about her "hip hop" phase like Mark Wahlberg

Again, I can't completely say, but a couple of the examples listed are just black people fitting in/following the dominant cultures norms, having a suit or straightened hair can make a hell of a difference to how you're perceived in professional settings. Imo I think most black people in america are more accustom to suits over a dashiki anyway lol.

As for the thick white chick.......she's benefiting from the mainstream finally catching on to a black view of beauty standards
 
Cultural appropriation is when black women who have been rocking braids and cornrows since forever aren't given credit.

But when Kim Kardashian and her sisters rock it, it's the must have for the summer.

BITCH we been rocking braids and shit and now the shit cool cause some white hoes who got money rocking it?! GTFO!

The hell...do you really believe that? A black woman putting relaxer in her hair is excuse for coping with what exactly?

But Kandy we've been getting the credit. If not from ourselves from every white woman who runs across our

little black girls and asks our Queens did you do that - it's so pretty. So what's classified as credit - when social

media and People Magazine comes to the party late?
