I guess Stevie Wonder needs to apologise for using harmony in his music, cause African music is monophonic. on and on and on examples.

I really dislike the world that we live in now....  the snowflake generation makes me sick...

Absolutely ridiculous. "Cultural appropriation" has happened since different cultures first started interacting with each other. Sharing elements of each individual culture enriches all cultures and should be embraced and celebrated. 

Did you guys realize that the kids at Springfield Elementary were a bunch of cultural appropriating racists?

It's **** like this that makes people hate liberals so much

..... sums it up very well,  in a just a few words.

English language resulted from "appropriations" of three or four, or maybe more languages. Better purge all the German and French words and go back to Chaucer's English.

 

Not a fan of extremists..... from either side of the political scale.

Sometimes there's a fear of natural selection, with one culture rising to the top. Also inevitable

If I find anyone painting their bedroom walls beige I will be screaming about culture appropriation.

Without "cultural appropriations" every culture will stagnate.

Without cultural appropriations, we don't get Elvis. Why can't we have Elvis and Chuck Berry?

 

We all know how great New Orleans music is. It's famous for mixing up music from different parts of the world, Caribbean, African, American, European.

Pretty sure there are quite a few native rappers.

 

 

Quote

 

In 1949 New Orleans jazz musician, and Fats Domino producer Dave Bartholomew brought the tresillo directly from Cuban music into early R&B.

New Orleans producer-bandleader Dave Bartholomew first employed this figure (as a saxophone-section riff) on his own 1949 disc "Country Boy" and subsequently helped make it the most over-used rhythmic pattern in 1950’s rock ‘n’ roll. On numerous recordings by Fats Domino, Little Richard and others, Bartholomew assigned this repeating three-note pattern not just to the string bass, but also to electric guitars and even baritone sax, making for a very heavy bottom. He recalls first hearing the figure – as a bass pattern on a Cuban disc—Palmer (1995).^[27]
