Hey Jeff - I agree with this spicy take on the cultural appropriation issue. It's sort of like when something steals something you've written, or an idea you came up with. It's nice of course to be given credit for what you've originated, but it's also a compliment as you say. It would be like judged your kids for imitating you as their growing up when it's actually part of the job of maturing to imitate those you admire.

Culture itself is appropriation. Arbitrary lines based off of time periods and locations can intillectually quarter and dissect certain aspects but I believe it's strengths lie in being a mental exercise as opposed to some prescriptive mandate on behavior which has become popular in the last decade or so.

Hey Corey, thanks for reading. I don’t understand what you’re saying here. Could you explain more if you don’t mind?
