Completely, fundamentally, and emphatically incorrect. You know nothing of the mechanisms of cultural theft, or how far back their roots reach. We create works of art to cope with crackery and the pressing thumb it exerts; but then the crackers send in an Elvis, or a Jimmy Page, or a Vanilla Ice, or an Eminem, to rob the sauce, bring it to some Hollywood peckerwood, and whoops, our art, our clothing, our sound, our very way of life is getting peddled by the whites! Again!
It keeps happening from rock 'n roll and the blues all the way up to "new wave" (which was really just the Disco that y'all killed, but bereft of substance or message) and rap. Thieves. Crackery is theft of culture, so it's been, so it will always be until crackery is abolished. Stay the fuck out of my inbox, you literal refuse.
so like im only supposed to listen to white music? lmao
