Why are white boys obsessed with other race's cultures?

[tehdamajah]

Not really lol. I put this avi up every now and then just to upset you melanin-deficient defective animals. I ain't obsessed with you ice chimps.

You white folks disgust me too much for me to think about y'all like that.

thanks for proving my point about racism

thanks for proving my point about racism

What's your point anyway? *Reads some joke on the coli* "ooooooh Black people are sooooo racist "

Don't worry about racism; no matter how much devilish shyt you peckerwoods do, nothing ever happens to you cave beasts. Y'all ain't the ones that got killed in that church in South Carolina. If all you have to cry about is my avi then you'll be fine.

EDIT: And yo, if this forum bothers you so much, you should try boxden. They love you filthy devils down there.

It's funny how people of any group will latch onto culture, something you had no claim in creating and were just born into as a way of shytting on other groups/proving your own superiority.
It's one thing to note the hijacking of rock and roll by white artists who just took songs from black artists and reworked them (which I brought up the other day in an argument about Elvis's status as the king of rock and black/white musicians), and as a way to pay homage to those artists.
But it's another thing to take the accomplishments you had nothing to do with and try to exclude other people from enjoying them based on skin color and using it to show how great you are.
Or to pettily diminish the accomplishments of people in said groups far beyond fairly setting the record straight as to where something came from.

But isn't that what white people do when they have these music award shows where all (or most) of the artists nominated are white? White artists who's music style is rooted in genres created by blacks? You seem really preoccupied with defending white people, and giving them the benefit of the doubt. You also frame your arguments as if black people and white people are equal. We're not equal. "If this then that" type of arguments don't work when talking about the dynamics of white people and black people in Amerikkka.

"If this then that" does work when you're discussing race relations with irritational hypocritical bigots.
If people on this site want to act like the big bad white racists in the way they frame their arguments then they should be treated as such and not coddled and excused because they're black.
Maybe if people on here were moving out of the country it would be okay but if you're going to live in the US and are not a short sighted fool you need to realize that race relations are a two way street and you shouldn't just go around being ridiculous.
It's fukking bananas to try and shame white people for listening to music, especially music that they can't escape, especially music that even the makers of the music probably don't have a problem with them listening to and probably work with white artist themselves and it's insane to try and shame them for taking to the music and performing it themselves.
You can't expect that of people because it's an impossible task regardless of how you feel about it and thus should be gotten over and instead that beefy should be taken to focus on more pertinent issues.
You didn't create the style, imo you don't have any more of a right to it than them but people of all cultures will never be able to get over these arbitrary lines and just come together so I understand the need to be protective of things when everyone belongs to groups rather than be pushed around.
But just listening to hip hop or making hip hop and being white doesn't hurt anyone, now if they use that medium and start lambasting where it came from then it's a problem, or if they're like those rabid white eminem fans that say ridiculous stuff like "rap is like a mountain it's white at the top."and other borderline racist or racist things then okay but if not complaining is a waste of energy.
"You seem really preoccupied with defending white people, and giving them the benefit of the doubt. "
And can you explain this part?

Blah, blah, blah. I'm not reading any more of your bullshyt. You're a white apologist, and the way you view things is very naive. White people don't mind shutting black people out and making their shyt exclusive to whites only!!!! Its blacks like you who want to have this "we are the world" inclusive attitude is one of the many reasons why we, as black people, are fukked right now. And nobody is mad that white people are listening to, and performing rap music. People have an issue with white people stealing creations of black people and plastering their pale white faces on those creations to make it seem as though they were the creators. There has been a pattern of this throughout history. And you know this. Open your fukking eyes, and get your head out of the white man's ass. He will look you dead in the eyes and lie to you. He doesn't give a fukk about you!!!! WAKE THE fukk UP!!!!

 

[Pifferry]

And I'm not saying coddle white people when talking about race because I don't.
For example I got into a discussion with two people on white privilege and spent about twenty minutes being considerate and walking them through it and giving them resources but in the end I said fukk you I don't care about your struggle because it has no bearing whatsoever on the existence of white privilege and you both are being idiots.
And most of the time people are being blatant racists or inflammatory so there's no point in going through that.
But there's a far cry between being blunt and truthful and perpetuating the bigotry you claim to be against @Knuckles Red.

I have a balanced view on race that looks at the perspective of people from all parts of society because black people aren't the only ones who are affected by the legacy of white supremacy in a negative way.
And you in your over emotional fury like most of your posts don't seem to understand that regardless of how you feel about things when it comes to the principle of it some things are impossible and petty so you should probably just stop complaining about it and white people listening to and making it is one of those things.
It is impossible to exclude them, physically impossible so just stop it.
As long as you don't compromise the message you want to put in your music because of them and they aren't doing what I described in the other post then their should be no problem.
And at the bolded, have you even read my comments in this thread, if you had you would have noticed me specifically acknowledging that as s phenomenon throughout history and today or are you such a baby that anything remotely balanced comes off as being a white apologist?
"and get your head out of the white man's ass. He will look you dead in the eyes and lie to you. He doesn't give a fukk about you!!!! WAKE THE fukk UP!!!!"
I'm not even gonna address this

 

[prophecypro]

Cause they find those other cultures more interesting I'm guessing

And that's fine as long as they have a genuine interest in those aspects, have respect and are not crossing any lines that would classify as appropriating (which is still something I think the world is trying to figure out in general in terms of what those things are) without any mocking.

More importantly if it allows them to gain an understanding and respect so be it. Its pretty easy to tell who's got genuine respect and who doesnt.

@tehdamajah

Why are you so obsessed with white ppl? half of the posts on this forum.... white ppl this, white ppl that. It's so sad but at the same time.
And lol at not having a culture.... i'll take art and literature over twerking anytime. You are some delusional losers

Rhythmically challenged neatherthals can't twerk so they mock it. Ha ha. Then lame white girls try to claim it as their creation. Just like a yt. Black culture is amazing but your white ass knows this better than anyone. Y'all been stealing from us this whole time.

And why are you even on a majority black forum. Just can't stay away huh?

Don't speak about art less you want to get knocked down. Because black people been creating art. Look up the Nok empire in Africa. Or just look at Africa period. Because even your most renowned artists took "inspiration" from African art. Van Gote(whatever that nikka name is) and his fascination with African masks anyone?

Brag about boring white art all you want. People like twerking. You have to force people to pay attention to Van gGote or whoever white artist white people love to glorify. Who was that piano guy that is supposed to be a musical genius? Nobody cares. Just face it white art is not popular.

Black people are creative, cultural geniuses. We don't have to shove our culture down peoples throats. Everyone follows us even when we don't want them to. We are the only ones who got it like that.

Black people are not obsessed with white people. You lames are the ones who created a whole violent, oppressive system to keep up with us.

 

[Missy85]

The Moors had a lot to do with your art and literature. In fact most Europeans were illiterate before the Moors invaded.

The Moors even had to teach these nikkas how to bathe. They didn't even have the intelliegence to wash their asses.( Even native Americans had to teach white people basic hygiene pratices) This is why black people should know history. Because if you knew just how wack white people are/were and just how great we(black people) are there aint no way in the hell these dweebs would be supreme over us. But we sleep for now.

And many other things. Like I told you before; go read a book, because you are showing how stupid you are.

[3rdWorld]

Yeah, my final year of college I took a class called "Popular Music in America" and almost every popular music genre in this country is at least rooted from black culture if not outright stolen.

Like your teacher, my professor (also white) was ashamed, disgusted, and embarrassed. I mean how could he not be? Every unit we ended up discussing how whatever genre we were studying at the time came from the black community and ended up getting appropriated by mainstream (white) society with the black originators getting ZERO credit. White people are a joke and even they know that they're a joke.

I'm also not convinced that a lot of these so called "inventions" that white inventors/scientists have "invented" or "discovered" were actually created by them. If whites can so easily steal and take credit for musical genres, god only knows what all they haven't taken credit for throughout history. Have they actually invented anything on their own? Or do they just steal everything and take credit for it?

We can start with math and physics from Africa, Astronomy and even Astrology..heck, we may have to list these things.

Africans got the first calculator..

Most histories of mathematics devote only a few pages to Ancient Egypt and to northern Africa during the 'Middle Ages´. Generally they ignore the history of mathematics in Africa south of the Sahara and give the impression that this history either did not exist or, at least, is not knowable, traceable, or, stronger still, that there was no mathematics at all south of the Sahara. In history, to Europeans, even the Africanity of Egyptian mathematics is often denied or suffers eurocentric views of conceptions of both 'history' and of 'mathematics' form the basis of such views.

High in the mountains of Central Equatorial Africa, on the borders of Uganda and Zaire lies Lake Edward, a source of the Nile. It is a small lake (about 30 miles by 60 miles).

Though the area is sparsely populated today, approximately 25,000 (update from 9,000) years ago by the shores of the lake lived a small community that fished, gathered, and grew crops The settlement only existed a few hundred years before being buried in a volcanic eruption. The place where their remains were found (1960) has a name now given to these people - Ishango. Among their remains is the second oldest mathematical object (the oldest is here) in Africa.

Some say that the Ishango Bone is the oldest table of prime numbers. Marshack later concluded, on the basis of his microscopic examination, that it represented a six-month lunar calendar.

prime numbers or menstral calendar

Egyptian multiplication. Recent studies with microscopes illustrate more markings and it is now understood the bone is also a lunar phase counter. Who but a woman keeping track of her cycles would need a lunar calendar? Were women our first mathematicians?

The following dating information was sent by email from Professor Charles Finch:

The site where the Ishango Bone was found was re-dated by Alison Brooks more than a dozen years ago and found to be 25,000 years old rather than the original estimate of 8,500 years. However, the Lembombo Bone in Swaziland is still 10,000 years older, consistent with iron ore mining there going back 43,000 years ago. Proto-mathematics begins in Paleolithic Central and Southern Africa.

No. Without the BLACK people (who possess the natural God give cultural talent to give birth to Hip Hop) creating it it would be dead. You fool. Hip Hop was doing just fine until y'all came along. You copy us. We are the authentic ones. Black people keep our culture alive.
