This is like the Batman symbol for all the ADOS Tariq follower morons roaming the coli. I’m here for the laughs

I mean, these folks really making MBJ fall back because of something they found offensive. Everything they did is proving ADOS right. Everyone has their own traditions that they find sacred and needs to be respected. That’s all ADOS ever said. It just seems like it’s only controversial when ADOS says it.

I don’t think other black people disagree. Y’all using Twitter and Tariq to cloud y’all judgement.

hip hop culture was created by mostly Caribbean blacks in the Bronx

False exaggeration

 

[HiphopRelated]

The real problem isn’t cultural appropriation this is a buzz word people use to sound smart. The issue is the the tried to trademark the name and tried to file it under a word that has no meaning.

Its like that white dude who has the trademark for the word hip-hop.

How the fukk you trademark a word that has been used for decades before you had any involvement. His business partner he should of known better.

This. Everything I've seen about this has to do with the trademarking of a cultural term. Nobody seems to care if MBJ wants to sell rum.

nikka what? Our ancestors aint fight for no damn immigrants

Actually, they did.

A hundred years ago this month, for instance, Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1917, effectively banning Asian, Mexican and Mediterranean people from entering the United States, along with the poor, political radicals and those with mental or physical disabilities.

Seven years later, Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1924, also known as the Asian Exclusion Act. The law created a quota system that prioritized immigrants from Northern and Western Europe, drastically restricted immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe and Africa, and completely banned Arabs, Asians and Indians. The law's stated purpose was to "preserve the idea of American homogeneity."

At the same time U.S. policy was restricting immigration by people of color, it was denying full citizenship rights to native-born people of African descent whose ancestors had been forced into bondage. It robbed them of their voting rights, deprived them of labor rights, and forced them into segregated facilities.

Then came the civil rights movement.

When four African-American college students from North Carolina's A&T University sat down at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro 57 years ago this week, they ignited a movement that brought down Jim Crow and led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965.

But the movement did not end there: It also played a role in ending the race-based immigration quota system.

As the the civil rights movement gained momentum in the 1960s, it made the idea of America as a white nation increasingly unacceptable. Just a few months after passing the Voting Rights Act, Congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, abolishing the race-based immigration quota system and replacing it with a system that prioritized refugees, people with special skills, and those with family members living in the United States. It also forbade discrimination in the issuance of immigrant visas on the basis of race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence.

I keep seeing that no one cares.

If that's the case, why is it an issue and the name is possibly being changed?

I've been noticing this is the go to reaction for Shills and NON-AADOS/FBA people on here.
