I don't love or hate anyone I don't know personally. You sound frustrated though. Good luck with your issues.

No.
What your describing already has a term, it's called whitewashing and rewriting history. And even if you were to apply that here it would still be a reach
The problem with your use of "the them" and "us" is you're giving individuals like dumbass gossip bloggers and cosmetic journalists authority as historians. In what school are you being taught white people invented dreads or rap music? I've known jazz blues and rock were invented by black folks in middle school. The bolded is all emotion and like I said the cultural appropriation argument existing in a black vs white vacuum.
And yes, as an american appropriation of other cultures is part of our culture, there is no escaping it. I mean Cinco De Mayo celebrates an event Mexico barely commemorates, even commonly miscategorized by us americans as Mexican Independence day. It's the best example of cultural appropriation even by your definition and nikkas still celebrate. It's part of being a globalist society so it really isn't that bad. But it's still appropriation
Furthermore you used the most and probably only logical example of people calling out cultural appropriation. If it was about whitewashing that would be one thing but the majority of the time this discussion is had over white boys wearing durags, white girls getting fake asses or white people being ignorant. Majority of the time nikkas is crying about shyt like this
nikka white washing IS a form of cultural appropriation. And I don't give a fukk what dumbasses argue about on the internet. If they think a person of another culture PARTICIPATING in ours in a respectful manner is them appropriating it is dumb as fukk. That's NOT cultural appropriation. And as far as Americans themselves appropriating shyt difference with us black Americans is that we were FORCED into their ways of doing shyt and their traditions. So a lot of black Americans do certain shyt out of pure ignorance. Americans in general are literally LIED to about history until about 9th grade. Unless they go outside of the textbooks and learn it themselves. And as far as I'm concerned. Black people going around fake celebrating cinco de mayo or St Patrick's Dayin is a serious minority. Cause I've never seen that shyt in my 30+ years of living. Even tho I have ran across black Irish people. And I'm from NYC. Born n raised. Cultural appropriation is what European Caucasians have been doing across the WORLD like NO other race of people thruout history. As black Americans we don't barely own shyt. How the fukk are we appropriating anything? We don't change the rules. They do. There's a big difference from being forced into a lifestyle and literally soughting after one.

Looked like she was specifying native American headdresses. No headdresses in general. I highly doubt she would be jumping at you for wearing your typeSome african tribes wear some form of headdress as well. It's not only natives.
My tribe for instance
The black girls stuff was obviously native American but natives need to stop acting like they have the monopoly on headdresses and black people shouldn't wear them

Don't see no problems with this.
Blah blah blah, your ancestors were AFRICAN, deal with it.
Squanto n em don't want you bruh, have some self respect.
I know right? A class c00nery in this thread.
Basic autosomal DNA tests confirm your ancestors are fukking African (then again that's probably the "white man's science"). Musical traditions, dance, instruments and cuisine from West Africa are all over the West Indies, South America and the US (Gullah, voodoo), and centuries of documented cac histories as well as slave ports and castles in Africa more than confirm where black people in the western hemisphere came from.
This is some WHITE EGYPT bullshyt (same awful, flimsy logic and arrogance). You're not a fukking Native American. Be proud of your blackness.
