Because not every space belongs to white people. Even in your reply you're showing how oblivious white people can be to their entitlement.


I partially agree with your comment. Geographic luck is what has allowed white people to dominate this world, but from my experiences with white people the bolded is untrue. I've had white people stare directly at me and whoever I was talking to and just randomly interject into our conversation. That might seem small but its little shyt like that, that I notice white people do that I would never do. Look at rap music, look at anything blacks have done or the spaces we have created for ourselves and then look at how white people come into those spaces and try to take it for themselves. Where does that entitlement come from, and are you white people just totally oblivious to it or do you just not care? Thats my question.

If you're talking about cultural appropriation, all of that is corporate and profit-driven. White people make up a majority of this country and a huge customer base, so entities that want to make a profit off of the art form use white artists to package black products into something more familiar and palatable. So mass white adoption of elements of black culture usually stems from that. Corporations have made white people comfortable with certain elements of black culture in that way- I don't think it's some sort of inherent entitlement that white people have. Most racist and entitled white people don't listen to hip hop or care about black culture at all. Once you expose a people group, white or otherwise, to an art form and allow them to participate they will start to try and shape it.

You're always going to have genuine white people who actually relate to elements of black culture, whatever they may be. For better or worse, hip-hop is global now. It'll probably never be JUST a black art form ever again in terms of both artists and fans, and hasn't been for a long time.

In regards to your anecdote, that might just be a personal thing. Some people are introverted, some aren't. I've had black, Hispanic, Middle Eastern strangers talk to me. White people interject into other conversations between white people too

Are you more upset that they took it, or someone gave it up? This is the technology revolution. Knowledge is at your fingertips. You don't have to be an elite to be exposed to wisdom.

I'm more just irritated that whites have, historically, made it abundantly clear that they don't want black people in their spaces, but have no issues with coming into our spaces and picking out any and everything they want. Its like rape. We have no ownership of even our own identity which is why you have people like Racheal Dolazel claiming they're black with no concern at all about how that affects us.

White (and all other kinds of people) feel uncomfortable in places and situation and around people they're not familiar with on a personal level.

White people aren't #inherently different from anyone else. It's just that due to a variety of environmental (NOT RACIAL) factors they were able to gain technological and institutional advantages that allowed them to exploit and terrorize the world.

It's not the white skin, it's the OPPORTUNITY to be terrible and commit atrocities on a global scale that separates white people and everyone else.

The random chance of environment and resources doesn't absolve white people from what they've done though. It's fukked up, and not right. I'm a firm believer in reparations for people that Anglo-dominated governments have done wrong.

neg train on this neanderthal

the sheer militancy

That's one way to look at it. That's a very European way to look at it. If whites screw everyone they come in contact with, and I, knowing of this pattern, insist on communicating with them, it's hard for me to feign ignorance when they do screw me over.

Nah white folks are very entitled and the just have funny mannerisms in general. Like how @Knuckles Red said that white person just interrupted his convo just to say some stupid shyt. Black people don't do odd ass shyt like that because it would be seen as obviously rude. Everything about white people's actions individually and as a whole signify a completely undeserved sense of entitlement

That may be true. I personally do not feel "entitled", but I have a limited perspective, and I can't speak for all white people.

 

[Guile]

I don't want to know about cacs are thinking, their actions speak loud enough, (@VegasCAC ). I want them to stay out of our cultural spaces and feeling entitled to be able to intrude for whatever purpose.

Disagree. I think there is something inherent in white people that makes them look at other cultures and say to themselves, "mine!!!" Again, look at Rachael Dolezal. Theres nothing corporate driven behind her decisions to claim black. Pure white entitlement.

Corporations have made white people comfortable with certain elements of black culture in that way- I don't think it's some sort of inherent entitlement that white people have.

But aren't these corporations white owned?

Most racist and entitled white people don't listen to hip hop or care about black culture at all.

Do white people care about culture at all though? Theres a well documented history of white people stealing from other people's culture. That doesn't seem caring to me.

In regards to your anecdote, that might just be a personal thing. Some people are introverted, some aren't.

That wasn't an anecdote. That was an experience. One that your white privilege doesn't allow you to understand.

 

[ridedolo]

we know more than enough about them, but we're too brainwashed as a whole to accept the scary truth. They also have put on a massive propaganda campaign to convince themselves and others that they're not devils.

they act this way out of fear of genetic annihalation. it will go against their interests as "human beings" to let up on their oppression and dominance b'c they will cease to exist.
they're inherently wicked, blood thirsty sexual deviants. study history and it's quite clear.

No it is to be admired but it is a very fearful position to be in unless all our brothers and sisters are united with you else you risk becoming a pariah

I feel like this is a cop out. Something whites say when they want to avoid talking about shyt they don't want to talk about. You should speak for all white people. I speak for all black people all the time whether I want to or not.

Again, I don't think its "inherent" to race, but perhaps it is a consequence of the system of white supremacy that white people have built. Rachel Dozeal claimed black for profit- she made a living off of it. She's not a corporation but she had the same goals

Yes, they are. They're also profit driven, and they happen to be white because white people are put into the position to own corporations at the exclusion of other groups.

White people have their own culture in Europe, but in America with the mix of peoples (White, black, Native American, and then others) and environmental factors the culture necessarily changed to reflect a more mixed one. They also "steal" from other cultures, as everyone else does when you're in a "mixed" society (in reality this was not the case with segregation however). The difference is that when white people steal they're in a position to profit from their appropriation. When you combine that profit off of black culture with their conscious effort to discriminate against black people you get a really evil and hypocritical thing. So yes, they don't care.

An anecdote is a story about a personal experience. And you may be right, I have a limited perspective
