Appropriating Other Cultures

FB: Amandla Stenberg: Actress Criticizes Kylie Jenner for Appropriating Black Culture in Instagram Photo
“U appropriate black features and culture but fail to use ur position of power to help,” Stenberg commented on a photo of Jenner wearing cornrows. “Mad if I don’t, Mad if I do,” Jenner responded.

Luke: This is weird. Do the English hate on the non-English who use Shakespeare? Do Jews hate non-Jews who study the Hebrew Bible? Who gave blacks propriety over wearing cornrows?
