I read an article about African american appropriating African culture. We cant appropriate African culture because its OUR culture our people are originally from africa.

Nah.
That's because they wanted to borrow 5 dollars, which is actually a years worth of pay in some places. You was walking in like King Joffe into the McDowell's.Not true people in Africa love african americans. When i was African i got treated different when people found out i was from america.
Ahh, I don't know what article you're referencing (although oddly enough, a friend brought it up in a discussion on Friday) and I suppose it was patronizing unfortunately.
As a whole, I don't mind African-Americans attempting to reconnect with their roots, as they were so terribly stolen from them.
The problem for me at times, is when the roots are "fetishized" in a sense, with black people viewing everything about Africa as superior, and treating it as a monolith.
For example, a woman coming up to me, upon learning I was descended directly from Nigeria, and attempting to speak Zulu (South Africa) to me as an Igbo speaker (Nigeria).
Then the people who garnish sacred traditional items as if they were mere trinkets. I won't even delve into the ones deemed "Hoteps".
So yes it is possible, but I will say that the line is very much finer than, say, a white woman wearing a headdress.
I suppose in this, moderation is key. I believe (if possible, which it often isn't) that every African-American should visit the mother continent, learn of the culture of their ancestors (if they can DNA trace them, but approximation works), even use symbols and whatnot. Just be respectful.
I was discussing this with some friends a few days ago(we're Brazilian though). While I agree that using some objects without the full knowledge of what it represents may be disrespectful, we really don't mean it, actually we want to reconnect with our ancestors culture, that was beaten out of them when they were brought here.I read an article about African american appropriating African culture.

It is actually pretty interesting and meta. Like how any accomplishment from a minority has to be +10 to be equal to the majority baseline. Even then that minority will have an Asterix beside it.Man that Dawkins thread is trash
It's definitely something..Man that Dawkins thread is trash

Then you have the issue where the larger issue gets obfuscated by some nitpicking detail.
I hope someone does a good case study and writeup on the situation.
Lots of September children up in here..
A brown teenager? Clearly he planned this outrageMan that Dawkins thread is trash
Man I just get so tired discussing racism and bigotry. It's like what's the point when the internet is suppose to be a progressive place tells you "fuck you and your couch". If you get it from both sides it is hard not to give up and say "you win, me and my people ain't shit".
You can only hear "be glad we let you live" before you start saying thank you back

Talkong bout racism online is one pf the most soul crushing experiences I have ever witnessed. I wanted to believe that we were finally would be moving past this bullshit, but motherfuckers keep proving me wrong.
Starting to get really bitter about this shit.

And then sometimes when you look into your roots you find out that your country was one of those that kept slaves with the help of arabs. Mostly bantu and nilotes and called them ''jareer'' a word meaning hard hair(reffering to the bantus and nilotes in this case) turned and replaced for slave. It is still used today on the regular to describe those that are not cushites as an insult even. I knew of the negative meaning behind it but when i discovered it straight up was used as slave before and people say it on the daily still you can imagine my shock.Check out the wiki for more info. Very short page.
Seems like i could have descended from the owners not the slaves themselves.
yeah .....It was all right, so many remakes and remastered this year tho
Of course he did, you gotta watch for dem Moooslims, they're sneaky. *rolls eyes*A brown teenager? Clearly he planned this outrage
