Hmmm. This all seem to be rather pissant petty. Appropriating Black Music & Culture? Really? Then in reciprocal fairness, shouldn't Black musicians stop “appropriating” musical instruments from other cultures? They didn't invent the Piano, Guitar, Trumpet, Saxophone etc. Should they stop using them? Stick to only musical devices invented or developed by Black cultures?

You see how silly it can get when you try to lay claim to things that have become universal by assimilation, not appropriation?
