Why is cultural appropriation of black culture aka "Blackfishing" so mainstream with influencers and celebrities?

She didn't just do makeup, but hair too.

Wtf did Addison Rae do her foundation like dis!

Why the hell did Ari make her skin so dark here. It's like Nicki's shade of skin!

Honestly I think they did it on purpose what do u think?

Ariana grande is Sicilian. My ex was Sicilian she stepped outside for 10 minutes her skin was as dark as mine.

I don't consider these examples of cultural appropriation tbh.

Except the first one.

They aren't trying to steal our culture.

We use cultural appropriation too quickly tbh.

I kinda look at it as a complement when they think we are so pretty they try to copy our looks.

Thanks, that is a really helpful comment. Made me think for the better. 😊

[Msputiton]

🥰Yeah if they completely steal it, claim it as their own. Sure that is. Or mock us.
Definitely cultural appropriation
This seems more like cultural appreciation

Funny thing is that Arianna Grande is blackfishing darkening her skin while in the same picture Niki minaj is White fishing.

These ladies are desperate to join the ranks of popular and beautiful women such as @purplepoppy and @valentina4eva , who have taken the vow to call me "Sir" or "Master" and entrain their minds with bean2k21 affirmations.

I will take things that simply do not matter for 500 Alex... Especially when we are on the brink of world war 3.

[trinibaddie]

So what does that mean exactly? 🤔

[Opinion Owner]

It means someone "Appropriating" culture simply does not matter, Not even slightly. Your question is irrelevant and not worth answering.

[trinibaddie]

Okay then 🤣

[trinibaddie]

Wait hol up so whites parading in blackface making a mockery is not relevant? That's offensive!

[Opinion Owner]

i dont see them in black face. they overused makeup which is disgusting. Blackface is entirely worse and evil. Look up actual images of black face and you will see what i mean.

[humanearth]

I'm old and never heard of Blackfishing

But if your saying white people trying to look black

Well get a load of me

In the Winter I'm White

As it gets warmer, I get darker and darker

That's mostly because of my bloodline. See I'm part Sicilian, American Indian, and have a tiny bit black in me from my great grandfather

So I get dark when I'm outside and I don't get sunburn. I just get darker and darker

So is it cultural approp. if a white dude wants dreads?
