@nfr_podcast Taking streams out of the question for a sec, I wonder who’s at the top as far as music that their fans buy. I mean pull-out-the-wallet, stand-in-line-at-Target, ‘I need all 4 vinyl colors’ type of fans.
@NaomisEvilCuzin@hashslingersss@ToastNakano Disagreeing with you doesn’t mean I’m ignoring culture or disrespecting anyone. It just means I see nuance here. And I think we’d get further talking about it instead of throwing insults. Respect goes both ways.
@NaomisEvilCuzin@hashslingersss@ToastNakano Her intention was to honor someone she loved, not to mock or steal from a culture. That doesn’t mean the conversation around appropriation isn’t valid — it is — but I don’t believe this is the right example to channel that frustration into. (2/2)
@NaomisEvilCuzin@hashslingersss@ToastNakano cultural appropriation is a real issue, and I respect the fact that people are passionate about protecting Black culture — especially because of how often it’s been disrespected or exploited. But I genuinely don’t think this situation falls into that category. (1/2)
