We need to make sure the musicians only play music created by their own people.

That pretty much spells the end of Michael Bolton's career.

"It’s hard to believe that anybody can take this kind of article seriously."

And frightening to think that many people DO take it seriously.

Or if Chuck couldn't play electric guitar because it wasn't an indigenous African instrument.

Is this the new general purpose outrage? As of 6 months ago I never heard of “cultural” appropriation. All sorts of new “offenses” and minorities have been invented since the homosexuals got their marriages.

What a bunch of BS. The event has no problem bashing American citizens; they had a live feed with a moderator advocating no borders and no walls which can only be translated that united states citizens should be enslaved economically by threat of force to participate in wealth redistribution to the third world. But its not ok snowflakes melt because beads of other countries are not worn in reverence as an unethical treatment of another culture , while they have no problem immorally steeling equity of the American citizen by advocating open border?

Mike Nelson: "You know, they stole this music from black people."
Crow: "Really?"
Mike: "Yeah, but black people were going to throw it away anyway."

Yes they have, but the trans community is clearly guilty of sexual appropriation and there is only crickets.
