Guest Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 6 minutes ago, Naak Le Vaar said: If you go to the comments on those Twitter threads it gets super weird. Some Twitter users who are Black Americans say Jamaicans/other black people not from America are using this as a chance to defend white people (some people called Adele a "colonizer") and to attack Black Americans. I dont know man, I try to be as socially progressive as I can, but some of the Twitter users have too much free time on their hands. That's not being socially progressive that's being paranoid. The days of slaveries are over for the rest of the world, maybe not for americans sadly who still think whites are colonizers/devils who are out to get them and they are not necessarily wrong, the killings of black people, lynching, shootings by racist cops still continues, and there are many other issues that are unfair to them...but not how we think outside of the USA. Jamaicans don't think about that anymore it's over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is the backlash is NOT suprising, considering the times we are in right now, especially in the US. That doesn't mean that I agree with or think the backlash is warranted, I'm just saying it is NOT suprising and Adele should not be surprised by it either. Of course it's not surprising but you said "But wearing Bantu knots as a white woman is a little ignorant and insensitive." She was at an event about appreciating cultures so I disagree with that, nothing ignorant or insensitive about it. And if everything made any type of sense, eating Jamaican food should be banned too, not just hairstyle or attire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are just choosing to be arrogant It goes too far. There are only a few examples of cultural appropriation from celebs, but now everything is apparently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US is going through a pensive time to learn what is acceptable and what can be taken offensive to other people and cultures. I however, am Black and loved this look on her.

Was just about to actually. Even you saying that you're black (in this case) is just too much. Get a grip. I'm all about equality, BLM, LGBTQ+ and so on. But in this particular case, is just ridiculous. She's is not approlriating anyone's cultures, she is celebrating it. I'd dare to say celebrating it. Choose other battles to fight, this is just ridiculous. Think the other way around, maybe she is promoting black culture? Whatever, peace out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
