gotta check that out now. here's what i wrote on it. the concept kinda confuses me.https://medium.com/@ahlswede/cultural-appropriation-in-modern-america-how-do-i-not-c314b6379d7#.e7lgr12et …
My statements on @TheNightlyShow were not to bash Justin timberlake. I was just shedding some light on the idea of cultural appropriation

-
long story short: don't celebrate the culture when it's beneficial and not when things get tough... - that's appropriation.
-
I watched right after I posted that. I understand & agree 100%, but I don't know if that conflicts with what I wrote or not
-
i would accuse JT of doing more than just "taking in" the cultures around him. he was complicit in crossover marketing scheme
-
right, but what should the alternative be?
-
also he was not raised in the culture so much as groomed to be the star that he is. he bought his way into the genre.
-
we're all groomed. Buying in = working. I don't make sense of someone having to reduce their culture to their own ethnicity.
-
the "we're all ___" argument loses weight when u make concessions like a black artist w JTs content not being as successful.

Your statement was to make your name known and the is it. I never heard of you until this became news. Clever.
-
All you said was the TRUTH
-
I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to know who the fuck Vic Mensa is. Another flavor of the month act.
-
Disingenuous non-apology. The "idea" you refer to is idiotic and self-defeating. No light shed on anything.
-
I wish the segment was a bit longer, I feel as if there wasn't much space for dialogue.

-
cop out. scrolling through 2yrs of a man's tweets looking for somehing then call him out on it. That's bashing.
