What separates cultural appropriation from a cultural exchange or paying homage is when someone “borrows” an item or symbol of cultural significance without acknowledgment, attribution or permission.

Probably because she is a typical white person who enjoys appropriating music but gives little to no fucks about the actual Black artist. The fact she had to talk about being white just tells everyone she has reduced Missy down to just being Black than the very talented artist she is.

Why are they releasing this to begin with? There have been other people murdered in their home and the “contents” of their apartment aren’t shared. Also weed is increasingly becoming legal (albeit in the whitest of states) so this weed stigma is quickly dissipating to the point that saying someone has weed in their…

Cool. I am too! I feel like such a critic but I do get nervous about artists moving to Netflix because I think Netflix has too much of a hands off approach. Sometimes the studios do actually help keep the artists from going off the rails. I think Kenya will buck this trend because he has vision and has worked with…

Oh, I guess I missed that detail. Issa had her previous youtube show so she’s not quite just starting. She’s been working for sure and I didn’t mean to imply I don’t like her. I do very much so like her and her work. It’s just been on my mind so I went on sort of a tangent.

The only thing that will matter in the future is creative capital. Machines will take care of the rest so yeah...they real scared because they are the least creative people on earth. All us people of color need to worry about is them creating a system to mine that creative energy off of us (Facebook et all is just a…

Hopefully it means they will actually hire BLACK PEOPLE. Instead of the whit ass marketing team of say Shea Moisture (yup, forever side eye on them), companies and firms should hire Black people as simple as that. They always want our money but don’t want to invest and give us any of it. Fuck that!

Is it though? He’s arguably already a rich man and he actually probably has already had to sacrifice some of his vision. Honestly this read as the straw that broke the camel’s back. He had enough of what was already a oppressive system. I think he has positioned himself in a more powerful position by toeing the line…

White women continue the long and vast tradition of writing and directing movies about disaffected white people (and yup even white men...still). This is exactly why white women have no place in the concept of diversity.

Maybe that is her end game after she loses. She’ll go run for something more attainable and already have a ton of press at that point.

How about when she attacks others by projecting her own insecurities on to them? Can you relate with her throwing Odell Beckham Jr under the bus because she is a loser that is unattractive? I really have no sympathy for white girls expressing they relate to horrible people because they too have those certain horrible f…

Notice most if not all the verbal sparring is happening with Chad (lol at your all quoting because that could for real be his name) yet the racist old guy is still willing to let him in on the elevator and wants to make that clear. This reminds me of exactly of the attitude with that racist cartoon. He colored the…

The racist is yelling back and forth with the white student when he calls him a “limp dick” and then remarks “I’m going to go get laid”...the fuck?? So he WORKS at a facility that caters to STUDENTS that are on average 20 years old and he’s talking about having sex. Eww, what!? Honestly, they should just make it so…

I know you all got a job to do and have to get these clicks so I’m just going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this is bait...because she really ain’t the one and your blackdar would need to be calibrated. Just google image people from east Germany.

“The reality is that we have more agents and we have bigger bands and if anyone can tell me how we tell the bands with their white agents and their white friends and their white bandmates and their white girlfriends and parents that they can’t come to the festival ... tell me how to do that without coming across like…

I think it might be scary to kids of this generation maybe...? It wasn’t scary to me through my adult eyes but I tried to think back at movies that show everything and was scary to me then being young. That weird Monster movie with Howie Mandel (I think) freaked me out as a kid but was pretty silly looking back. I…

It is also revealing that Knight chose to illustrate Osaka as a blonde, fair-skinned damn-near white woman whose complexion is the same as the umpire’s.

I don’t care about anyone’s parenting.

I’m starting to feel like the questions are the real problem. They don’t seem to engage parenting philosophies. Their should be some questions that really force the parent to explain what they say or do when children do x, y, z. And do it in a way that gets an honest and real answer. We’ve seen parents mention they…

He’s in better position than we are to know the facts on the ground.
