Michael B Jordan being accused of cultural appropriation. UPDATE: name change is coming
- Thread starter concise

This whole situation is why I've always felt cultural appropriation argument is an overreach.
Like yeah, I get it if someone being disrespectful or claiming ownership but a lot it is pointless powerplays by people who're also more than likely guilty of Cultural appropriation.

I especially liked the part where he spoke on the fact that Marcus was shytting on all Black people not just ADOS in that letter as the thread narrative suggested.The sonnin you was doing in the thread
Always glad to have posters chime in with accuracy not just biased viewpoints that support their position.
It's called Twitter.

I worked one of the events they did to promote it.
@Stick Up Kid where you at?
You always chime in when it's not your business, Kikuyu fakkit. Y'all nikkas don't even get along in your own country, why are you trying to push "Pan African Unity" on us?

Lol so shyt rum then. I don't see a problem with the name, but I am from Barbados, not Trinidad so...
The only argument I can see is if they try to copyright the name and stop people from using it, which would be stupid.
Much ado about nothing.

"Attorney Brian Baig has told locals who are expressing their satisfaction with Hollywood actor, Michael B Jordan’s apology and decision to rename his current J’ouvert titled rum, “don’t be so quick to celebrate as T&T might have burned an opportunity bridge.”
In a telephone interview with Guardian Media, Baig, who has a background in Intellectual Property Law (IP), said it was an opportune time for T&T to change the narrative—turning a negative situation into a positive one and using it to its advantage.
“This is where the National Carnival Commission (NCC), could have worked together with the gentleman in whatever way. The Ministry of Culture could have looked to work together with the gentleman and Trinidad and Tobago’s culture could have even been promoted,” Baig said.
He added, “This is the beauty of intellectual property wherein which; now the country can benefit from it. What you call nation branding. And this is why Trinidad and Tobago need to live outside the box.”
He said T&T needed to take a look at how nation branding was done in other countries like Scotland and even India.
“With our nation branding, they could have used the steelpan with the J’ouvert celebrations, with J’ouvert rum and they could have had a big celebration out of J’ouvert, instead of being just all angry.”
