I'm so sick of news reporters shamelessly appropriating Black Culture

[Mrl HiGrnd]

So we see this type of cultural appropriation shyt all the time on YouTube and so do people who work at news stations. They know viral fame will boost ratings for their local shows especially if it has anything to do with them doing a black dance/song/ fad.

How you gon help perpetuate racism against blacks through biased reporting, and coverage of black people in the media; and at the same time take from the fruits of black media to profit off of ????

This seems is dirty and hypocritical af to me

Am I overreacting?

It depends on the stankness of your leg

C'mon that shyt was created to be appropriated by white folks. Who you think are the largest demographic of people doing the whip or nae nae or whatever it is? White people. Who do you think are the ones replaying those songs all day? White people. Who do you think are making the creators of that shyt the most money? White people.


Just be happy that black people are the biggest demographic of hip hop/rap artists and are the ones that are getting the money

I'm say like I said in a previous thread , our culture has been getting appropriated by whites since we ever came into contact with them , it isn't a new phenomenon

Be more specific when you say black. Are we talking about African American culture?

I found it funny..


Some of you sound like you'd be depressing to be around irl..

 

[Audemar]

I understand where you're coming from but there's nothing you can do about things like this. It is annoying though because these are the same White people who look down on Black people, close car doors, cross the street, etc. What I feel is worse than this is when some Black people are like: whenever White people appropriate certain aspects of Black culture.

ESPN are the worst offenders although i get it with the demographics in the industry and they're trying to relate but sometimes it comes across a little forced. I respect people like John Clayton who just report the news as a regular dude without all the extras and antics like some of the other clowns...I do think SVP genuinely likes hip hop though. He has some bangers for entrance music on his show when i listen to the podcast Truth be told twitter put a lot of people on to the lingo though...

ESPN are the worst offenders

Agreed. they do the most, and the females they throw into the mix but that's another thread. ....
