Explain to me how you're going to prevent someone from performing a certain style of music breh.
You may as well be trying to put out a house fire with a water hose. This is going to happen more as globalization increases. The only realistic way is for artists to not export or disseminate their art outside of the community. That isn't happening. So, as long as the shyt isnt done disrespectfully I'm not going to pretend to be upset about it. If they start to exclude black folks from the culture or act like black people are anything but the original creators of it then I'll have more to say.
If a black person decides they want to perform classical music, I'm not going to entertain a bunch of white people acting like they can keep him from doing it.

This is Martial Arts demonstrated in Ancient Egypt (Kemet) AfricaHow do you feel about Black people who listen to/support martial arts movies?
Ancient Egyptians trained in several martial arts. The three main ones were archery, wrestling, and stick fighting. Supposedly boxing was also a martial art in Ancient Egypt, but I have yet to find any depictions of Ancient Egyptian boxing. There are reliefs and paintings of their martial arts at certain sites in Egypt.
Modern Egyptian stick fighting is called Tahtib. This sport is very ancient, and is depicted in the tombs of the old kingdom. It is related to the other forms of African stick fighting, such as Maasai stick fighting, Mursi Donga, Zulu stick fighting, and Nuba stick fighting.
Wrestling is a very popular sport in Sudan which borders Egypt, and there was close historical interaction between the two ancient countries. The Sudanese have had a long tradition of wrestling, and this is confirmed by Ancient Egyptian artwork, as well as the historical accounts of Greek historians such as Heliodorus.
Thought this thread was gonna be about XGALX and cocona...

Do you see black people dressing like mariachi singers and presenting that style of music as a new genre? You do to think Mexicans would react to that? We just saw hey they checked Tyga and yg. With black culture it’s anything goes it seems with all the explanation y’all do

We ain't from Egypt and that civilization was dead and gone for 2,000 years by the time the Trans-Atlantic Trade was going on, so unless you have some evidence of the Mali or Songhay Empire versions of Martial Arts, what you linked isn't applicable.
No, but that is only because mariachi music is not worldly popular. If it was, you'd probably would. No one is listening to mariachi music outside of Mexicans and those stuck at a Mexican Restaurant when it's someone's birthday. No one has a desire to replicate it.
I have seen black folks wear cowboy hats and sing country songs and do a good job at it. Shout out to Darius Rucker and Charlie Pride.
Often imitated...never duplicated.
Sounds good in theory. But who said that some didn't try? Also by the looks of it they got this far on their own by just copying why hire a bunch of black folks now.
Overall i hear what OP is saying. Koreans are some very racists motherfukkers who dont like black people. Seeing them cosplay black Americans is disgusting.
Also for you clowns trying to find some equivalency with black folk liking anime. The difference is that we're fans and consumers. Where are black folks acting like Asians and profiting off of it.

OP you should retaliate by copying parts of Asian culture, I recommend the group economics and extreme focus on education.
That’ll make things even.

Responding to your edit here.
I see your edit and I feel the same way about Mexicans complaining about tyga or whatever other bullshyt has happened. Especially, when Mexicans heavily participate in hip hop culture. But, the source of all this bullshyt is all due to social media outrage agents who constantly made the smallest shyt into some sort of perceived social struggle. Particularly the redefining of cultural appropriation. It went from describing a real problem like in the 50s when they wouldn't even sign black artists, had white artists steal their songs and make money off of it. But somewhere in the 2010s it has been used to start outrage campaigns over the smallest shyt like some white chick with braids.
Now everyone is competing over grievances. Those Mexicans wouldn't have cared what Tyga did pre 2010. Now everyone wants to constantly accuse each other cultural appropriation to "one up" one another because they get a dopamine hit in stirring up mob rage instead of them legitimately caring about the shyt.

That doesn’t matter. It’s still black American culture and these vultures need to recognize that and remind their audiences by paying homage. All those black country singers are respected by the majority white country audience and industry. You must not be American because you do know black cowboys existed right? Lack people grew up in the same region country music was created in. Jon B is white and does R&B the General black R&B artists. He’s public payed his respect for his black R&B peers. Showed up to black award shows and did not use the genre to launch his career then turn his back on his black audience.
White people are racist as fukk too. Are black people going to pretend they aren't listening to Bobby Caldwell or Hall and Oates? Are a lot of black artists who sampled white artists in hip hop going to stop doing it?
We all participate in cross cultural exchange.
