The decision to put that voicemail at the end, given the subject matter, has always been a big instance for me of "don't why they did this, but I LOVE it!"

What's a hip-hop classic that didn't get the respect it deserves? I say: @JungleBros4Life #Donebytheforcesofnature

E.B. White sharing a list of slang terms that will have surely been forgotten by time.

Thought this was interesting: American farms were so productive in the 1870’s that food prices were falling rapidly and lead to the accelerated proletarianization of European peasants and their subsequent migration to the United States

@grapefruitism like im usually the first to whack colonizers but on the matter of a deeply antiblack culture appropriating from black culture i wouldnt be quick to point to colonization as the reason behind it hence why my questions

@grapefruitism which makes me doubt just how much of the appropriation is a result of colonization. also how much influence would black American soldiers have on foreign soil when they were discriminated against within their own ranks? koreanwarlegacy.org/chapters/afric…

@grapefruitism do you have any sources for this? the Philippines was occupied by U.S. for 48 years and Korea was under U.S. rule for 3 years based on a quick search. im sure Philippine music takes from black culture too but its most popular genre OPM isn’t nearly as blatant as kpop at ripoffs

@jusru24 He's easily disproven with a quick search

like you’re buying into rape culture because you don’t think ‘white people talk like that’ lmao go fuck yourself with a broomstick

‘a white person wouldn’t say that’ the context being a white lady boss sleeping with her employee and potentially threatening him in the worst ways

Haruomi Hosono and James Brown (1985)

The cultural influence of Black American music in East Asia predates the imperialism in question.

@grapefruitism Modern K pop was literally a choice by 90s producers in Korea to go global and find successful music !!! It wasn't that simple both sides are wrong like you

@cinnamonqueennn Incredibly telling juxtaposition going on in this response....
