Re: Appropriation
(Anonymous) 2013-03-24 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)My boss is an extremely wealthy black man. He has two sons, one of which saw maybe two or three years of living in the so-so part of town before moving into multi million dollar homes in a gated community that's gated against lesser-wealthy-but-still-very-wealthy people from coming in. Said son does rap music where he talks about living in the ghetto and all the hardships coming from that. I would hazard a guess that the child has never seen hardship his whole life (that he can still remember), and certainly not what would come from living in the actual ghetto here in this rather large town.
If Elvis was appropriating, what's this guy doing? He doesn't know one thing about being in hard times or everything else that goes with living in the ghetto, and that's apparently a requirement for being allowed to do the music he's doing...and yet, Elvis is condemned while people buy this guy's CDs. Is the only reason he's allowed to fake it because he's black?
