We certainly have not questioned why black culture can be (mis)appropriated, redefined and (mis)used by others for purposes that don’t serve us when no other ethnic group has or will allow that. So it has me wondering, if blackness is merely a commodity to be bought, sold, or traded, then perhaps we should be asking ourselves, 1) is the culture of blackness inherently black, and if no, then whom does it belong to? 2) where did the culture of blackness originate from, and 3) if blackness is a commodity, then why haven’t more black people stepped up to take ownership of it?
I think this is particularly relevant given the lastest distraction with Ignorant Imus. We have allowed blackness to become so mainstream to the point where other cultures think it’s acceptable to mimic and mock blackness, and then have the nerve to get mad when one of them insults us. How dare we be insulted and outraged when they are simply repeating phrases we use amongst ourselves? Why don’t we get as upset and intervene when we hear our children, friends, relatives, strangers throw hurtful words back at each other?
