I will say though looking at where hip hop, R&B, and black entertainment in general is heading.

The children are waking up and they're getting restless. Just gotta let the trendy girls be the pawns, while the Kings & Queens work in silence.

hey kang


yummy

One thing I've noticed with a lot of the discussions around cultural appropriation is the underlying craving of white validation. This doesn't really have shit to do with Bruno or any other alleged "culture vulture", it has more to do with the fake woke types who desire the approval and praise from the same historically white establishments they claim they don't care about. It's easy to mask it with hashtags and online movements, but removing the need for validation from these outdated ass award show committees is far more easier said than done for them. I'll never understand how you can claim to be unapologetically blackity black in one breath and then turn around and throw tantrums over non black audiences not throwing awards and money at your favorite artist's feet, but I guess we all have our contradictions.

Right.

It's one thing that annoys me about Mo'nique's entire campaign. It's all based off some expectations she had since she got the White approval trophy in hand. One that she received after playing a role that most people of color must play before they get it. Guess she didn't get the memo that she still has to play the politics mess correctly regardless of whether they approve or not - including the fact that it's common courtesy to thank the director during your speech once you win.

Angela Bassett has yet to get an Oscar in hand but I'm sure the day she decides to say fuck it play a drug addict it'll come flying into her lap. Then she can run around telling everyone how decorated she is, too.

Bitch please.

Now that I've watched sensei's video, I have to say

If a person grew up listening to hip-hop music or R&b, there ain't nothing wrong with them creating that type of music if they get the opportunity to do that. culture appropriation is usually when a white person steals a piece of culture from some point and bills it at their own. This ain't that

Right.

It's like a group of Native Americans deciding that even though a Black Native grew up on right on the Indian reservation, took part in all the traditions - all the ceremonies, pow wows, etc., none of that matters because the person doesn't "look" Native American at all.

Like, how dare you. You have no right to take their upbringing away from them based on how they look. It's a really fucked up thing to do. Usually I enjoy these teas but I don't even want to watch this clip.
