it was cooptation of the natural hair movement bc shea moisture built their brand on black women w natural hair

People love black culture but not black people. It's so disgusting.

Bruno isn't black?! I gotta google this because I love me some bruno. but I do think that Bruno is very vocal about his influence in black music and black musicians. he always talks about it in his interviews.

Bruno Mars' albums have covered 50s doowop, 60's soul 70's funk, 80s slow jams and 90's new jack swing. On all three albums over the last 10 years. I don't think it's a phase. It's what he knows how to make. I think there is a line and he tows it. His latest look seems to be the most jarring as it's straight 90s throwback but to me he's like Pharrell, a student of the music(though I never forgave Pharrell for giving JT those MJ rejects). Anyway. Mars isn't invited to the cookout but I doubt he will stop making Black music across all Black genres. I do, however, feel the same irritation that similar throwback acts don't get the same shine.

BUT that's not the real reason she stopped trying to be Black. The truth is that she's making space for her little sister, who's next in line in the Blackface comeup.

In this episode we talk cultural appropriation,  why black people seek white approval, inviting people to the "cookout", disney movies, and more!

Thanks everyone for listening. Please share!
