Culture is a complex series of shared beliefs and behaviours that bind a group of people together. Recently, there has been an increase in things that are synonymous with Black culture that mainstream culture has adopted.
In this episode, Sean and I discuss appropriation in its many forms, ranging from stolen traditional artefacts during colonial times to body alterations that mimic the somatotypes of black women. We explore how appropriation has evolved over time, blurring the line between appreciation and appropriation. How the need to belong and feel accepted can be an opium to a people who struggle with their identity.
