I'm not talking about all of that I mean saying gays are gross and sinful and being disgusted by the thought of like... 2 guys holding hands or something innocent af.
Honest question: Is it possible for a Black person to appropriate Black culture? For example, what if a Black artist grew up in a wealthy neighborhood yet decided to portray a "gangsta" lifestyle in their music, despite not being near that a day in their lives? What if Iggy was a rich Black girl who also decided to adopt a "ghetto" persona to attain success?
Cultural appropriation is usually done by someone outside of the particular culture, but not every Black person grows up in the stereotypical culture that is usually associated with Black people.

All I know is a lot of black people from Ice Cube to Jay's trophy wife all do that. Mrs 3rd Ward Insane Asylum claimed at the beginning of her career that she is not ghetto but middle class and she'd never been ghetto at all and that she hates that people assume that about her when they see that she's black but now...

That doesn't really have anything to do with what MM3 said.
Yes, she took a photo looking somewhat 'Ghetto'. But she has NOT portrayed a
Ghetto persona in her music whatsoever.

The negative aspects most definitely, and to exploit them for commercial gain. There's a class issue there too.
