    @nikiashton Appropriating Black culture is not intersectional feminism. Please delete your "to the left" FB post & address the issue #ndp

        Hi Jane, After decades of erasure of black culture, it's inappropriate for a politician to appropriate a BW's art. That's it.

        So; quoting or referencing black people is part of the "verboten" list now? Am I okay if I cite in standard APA?

        It's not even Black culture. It's a pop song, by a singer loved across racial/cultural lines, and half of the song's writers are white!

        She said Beyoncé though. She invoked Beyoncé. Not the white writers. Not Beyoncé's white fans. Beyoncé. Also Beyoncé is Black.

        that's pretty funny, since "Irreplaceable" was written and produced by the (white) Norwegian duo Stargate. These guys.pic.twitter.com/3BElQfROsO

      Bey cowrote Irreplaceable with Ne-Yo and a handful of white Norwegians. It's a song about female empowerment.

      I'm sorry but posting a song lyric isn't "cultural appropriation" you are delusional if you think otherwise.

      Is this satire? It's getting hard to tell nowadays.
