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

[HopeKillCure]

How can some of y'all be black??

Culture? Unique culture where? You have all been borrowing each others shyte forever. Imagine American Jews whining about isreali Jews stealing their swag and vica verca. How is it this easy to divide nikkas

The Root: as in you can't hate the root of a tree without hating the tree itself.

 

[Yup]

Blame the @bdizzle @Yup @LadySimone of the world

Lol...i wouldn't speak so soon. African Americans aren't that innocent in this department. I've heard a lot nasty things said abou africans on here and in real life. At the end of the day....blacks being our own worst enemy comes with the territory.

Still i support blacks all over the world and have no ill will towards any aa or any black diasporans.

They just jealous of us. That's really what it is.

Excuse me,

but isn't House music big in South Africa? Don't they have Nollywood films about Tupac? Isn't Afrobeats heavily influence by rap? Isn't there soul food restaurants in Kenya? Don't kids in Johanessburg and Cape Town dress like Black urban youth?

Is this a legitimate argument? Am I tripping?

Yes you're tripping
Listening to house music is African American culture?

Tupac= represents African American "culture" ....Really nikka? Ask yourself ..would Tupac himself even say such a thing ?

Dining in a certain restaurant is now "appropriating culture"?

Your going after the KIDS of Cape Town now?

Do you realize how big hip-hop is..What you are arguing is the equivalent of Europeans telling the world to stop wearing jeans and tee shirts..


I think all of you internet activists needs to just fall back and focus on real issues.

Music and dress are and can be cultural identifiers and if the woman is going to bring up African attire being worn by Aframs, why can't House music being made/listened to by Africans (an afram originated form) be mentioned?

Tupac= represents African American "culture" ....Really nikka? Ask yourself ..would Tupac himself even say such a thing ?

he didn't represent the entire culture...he represented an aspect of it though

Dining in a certain restaurant is now "appropriating culture"?

No, unless you start making and claiming "ethnic" or foreign dishes/food outside of your culture

Your going after the KIDS of Cape Town now?

They are jacking Afram culture (I have no prob with this but Im just looking at it the way the African woman on twitter is looking at things)

Do you realize how big hip-hop is..What you are arguing is the equivalent of Europeans telling the world to stop wearing jeans and tee shirts..

Not really...

Some of ya'll just want to fight for the sake of fighting and antagonize everybody.

 

[joeychizzle]

So.. Trying to get back in touch with your roots is vulturing now?

 

[Blackout]

Its exactly why I say that we need to build ourselves up before trying to connect to Africa.

Its not time for us to connect to them yet until we have better relations with them.

Still i support blacks all over the world and have no ill will towards any aa or any black diasporans.

Liar

You c00n too much

 

[scarlxrd]

I can see where they're coming from with the clothes.

That said, it's not that serious

 

[Yup]

She blocked me. Mission accomplished.

Jealous of what?

 

[Yup]

Define a c00n cause you skipped quite a bit before responding to me.
