A British African woman partners with Adobe to teach the world about Black American skating culture

Can you speak the languages, do have a Mande name? You probably have never set foot on the African continent but you are here appropriating other peoples culture all the way from the US.

LOL. This is your most uninformed post of all. Not only have a I been to Sierra Leone I have reviewed the dual citizenship process with the Country and I have friends that are advising me of land to purchase because I don't want to live in Freetown. My next trip to the Country will be to visit Bo and Kenema, which is the area that the Mende hail from. Keep on trolling though you goofy ass culture vulture.

You are a bigger culture vulture than me. I have never claimed to be anything i am not. I am not on the internet calming some culture i have no connection to. You on the other hand are cosplaying as a Mande man, but you don't speak the language, you don't have a Mande name. You just picked some random tribe in West Africa and decided to appropriate it

for real- they’re trying to really force feed us into acceptance. I really want to know what the end game is because 3/4 comments on social media despise this c00nette. None of her movies are box office “success” in terms of being acclaimed within the community; it’s like she was specifically appointed for her to make movies under the AA flag that are for the purposes of making white people comfortable with how Hollywood wants her to portray roles.

If she cared about AA representation then c00nthia Errorvo would have an AA friend tell her that this predator wig laid on top of her head was not the wave

She must think the Aaliyah (Rip) Try again method is gonna finally begin to pay off, but it ain't happening!
It would be more disrespectful if it wasn't so sad...like damn, how clueless can a person be?!
From a professional standing point one has have a certain level of self- accounting.
Even Zoe Saldana(publicly) acknowledged her hubris aka stupidity in not choosing to step aside and allowing a person more befitting, and culturally connected actor, take on Nina Simone.

I am not cosplaying playing anything you idiot. I am African American that recognize, appreciate and honor my Mande ancestors. The tribe is not random at all. I have a historical connection to them.

You on the other hand are a culture vulture. Your punk ass and people like you glum onto African American culture, because you are either embarrassed about your own culture or you don't have one. To make matters even worse your sorry ass is claiming that I don't belong to a culture, because I don't speak the language. Yet your bytch ass up in here writing and no doubt speaking English. So you clearly don't honor your own culture, because you are clearly the Hell not English.

So what if i am speaking English? That is the used here for communication.. I speak Igbo, i have an Igbo. My closet is filled with traditional Igbo outfit. Can the same be said about you Mande man?

Right and that is where you leave your traditional clothing. Up in your closet, because you are embarrassed to wear them. So you glum onto some other culture's clothing. Why not represent your own set? Why not educate people about your clothing and traditions? The Indians from India do it.

Yes, a Mende couple sold me clothing when I was in Sierra Leone and they are the ones that point out land information to me. So take your culture vulture ass on somewhere.
