appropriation goes far back to the vaudeville days in the 1800's. Mae West and Sophie Tuckers are great examples.

I would like to hear your take on it ? ( Cultural appropriation/smudging)

I want to know more.

We're currently living in a time where cultural smudging is happening at a rampant pace.

I'll start with race and how us blacks doesn't know **** about our history so we don't know how beautiful we are I said this before
Race runs deep, the idea is really rooted in how amazing melanin and melanated people are If black people knew how great we are then the global minority would will be wiped out It's a race to survive and dominate but they can't dominate the dominate group.

i dont know how deep it goes but what's really disturbing is that its still going on.

It will never stop tbh it goes beyond music ( the most place it's happeing right now )

Take Africa they want us to think it's disgusting and what us to be greatful for them putting us on them ships

basically. this is the capital city in ghana

That's nice but that's why the topic is do you know how " DEEP " it is it goes beyond some rap battle lol

Yes, like Louis Armstrong appealing to whites and minstrelsy.

Look at most depictions of Jesus.

Beautiful

why was this reported?

Yes they even want us to think that Jesus was white and without the white man we wouldn't have life but in the bible

Revelation 1:15

AND HIS FEET LIKE UNTO FINE BRASS, AS IF THEY BURNED IN A FURNACE; AND HIS VOICE AS THE SOUND OF MANY WATERS.

I knew it went back a long way. I think what is most problematic about it today is that some White artists ( I won't name any names) profit from appropriating (or in the case of a certain pop star in 2013, mocking) Black culture, yet won't speak out on Black issues, racism, etc.

who the hell did that

Again isn't about iggy and I will not let anything go lol

I agree, but it's wrong certain people
can be successful selling others' culture, but the originators can't... and it's wrong when they don't care about those people of that culture they take from.

Do Iggy, Miley, Bieber and JT care about black people?

Do Timbaland, Missy and Beyonce care about Indian/Asian people?
