For sure. I feel you but...is it really white washing though?
The Iggy Azalea's getting a co-sign from the game is white washing to me. Black rappers and hip hop heads
were letting her in and she became a face for a minute. What's happening here is straight jacking. Acting like we don't even exist
To me it is,..and it reminds me of the notion of how black culture is more revered/respected when its NOT coming from black people...
White chick gets dreads/braids= people are like...oh how cool...she's hot
Black chick gets dreads/braids= "I feel like she smells like patchouli and weed" "how ghetto"
White chick twerks= oh that's art, that's hot...let's make millions off of this and make work out classes off of this
Black chick twerks= disgusting ghetto culture, go back to section 8 housing, black wedlock birth rate references.
It pisses me off cause they act like we didn't even come up with the shyt...we do the work...they take all the credit at the end of the day.
I see why people don't like white folk and their "culture" man beyond the obvious history of cruelty, oppression, torment, marginalization, rewriting of history, etc...if it wasn't for people of color, they wouldnt have anything resembling a culture.
