Africans accuse African Americans of "appropriating" their culture (legitimate criticism?)

[How Sway?]

They want our spotThey just wanna be like usMama africa look up to usWe smack her pon the head

And the way they attack light skinned black American peopleWe all know what that's really about Go get some self-esteem africa

The Irony in this post is just too much.

You do realize the American Power structure uses African Americans to Push American Cultural Supremacy(via the Media) Upon the World.

And what do yall get in return? Oh yeah, getting shot in the streets by cops, and being trolled by cacs saying

"ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WORK HARD AND PULL YOURSELF UP BY YOUR BOOTSTRAPS"

Jealous of what? You still haven't answered. I can assure you most Africans in here are probably doing better than you. You're just a troll on a message board.

House music is from Chicago. It made it's way to other cities. The White people stole it and began playing that Technoshyt.

White people took it because you abandoned it after it initially took off. But they made it hotter. If y'all cared for it, y'all would have held on to it a little more like you did hip hop(even though it's already white controlled).

So I guess Africans have no culture because none of it is hot globally?

O.K., but I know where House music is from because growing up in Chicago it was everywhere.

Btw, some bullshyt sources are listing Techno music as being from the UK.

Then why do Asian, Arab and Latino American cultures not benefit from this same structure and agenda?

LOL. They made it so much hotter that no one that knows anything about good music even listens to it.

I'm saying yall abandoned house music and white have totally changed it and made it their own. You can't claim it as your black culture now.

Despite your insecurity and feelings of inferiority, House music will always be recognized as music that came from and was crafted in the ghettos of African Americans.

African American Culture Is most influential in America (culturally). Asian American culture is not culturally influential. Latino Americans are all over the place, though Salsa has made significant waves globally
