Cardi B was met with criticism this week after the release of her Footwear News November cover, in which the rapper is seen holding a red sneaker and depicted as the Hindu goddess Durga.
Critics called out the star for cultural appropriation, deeming the cover inappropriate and accusing the rapper of mocking Hindu culture.
Cardi took to her Instagram Story on Wednesday morning (Nov. 11) to apologize for any offense she caused. When I did the Reebok shoot, the creatives told me I was going to represent a goddess, that she represents strength, femininity and liberation, and thats something I love and Im all about, she said.

When will black women be accused of cultural appropriation for straightening their hair?
> Appropriate away! <
Agreed. Leftists say appropriation like its a bad thing.
I think that bottom line is this. Todays leftists are not just control freaks. They are Stalinists. And Stalinists are driven to restrict the actions of others. Its in their nature.
Yoga originally came from Scandinavia, not India.
I don’t apologize for not having heard of Cardi A, B or C before.
No vaccines for anyone but Westerners.
“The beginnings of Yoga were developed by the Indus-Sarasvati civilization in Northern India over 5,000 years ago. The word yoga was first mentioned in the oldest sacred texts, the Rig Veda. The Vedas were a collection of texts containing songs, mantras and rituals to be used by Brahmans, the Vedic priests. Yoga was slowly refined and developed by the Brahmans and Rishis (mystic seers) who documented their practices and beliefs in the upanishads, a huge work containing over 200 scriptures. The most renowned of the Yogic scriptures is the Bhagavad-Gîtâ, composed around 500 B.C.E. The Upanishads took the idea of ritual sacrifice from the Vedas and internalized it, teaching the sacrifice of the ego through self-knowledge, action (karma yoga) and wisdom (jnana yoga).”

I wish Cardi B would appropriate good English. I dont think that she ever hit the books.
I understand that Cardi B has a prehensile tail.
Now that just isn't right.
Yeah, yeah Scottish, Irish -- is there a difference?
I think cats were doing yoga well before humans came on the scene.

Oh, Really? ;)

There’s no doubt about that. In fact I think that we can learn a lot from cats.
With the future of our Republic on the line, a thread about some useless bitch is always sure to draw the FRies.
SMH....
What’s a CardiB? I see the picture, but never heard of her before. She’s some kind of performer?
Pre-Christians could do what they want. At least they believed in something greater than themselves, unlike today’s liberal idiots.
And a big oooga-boooga to you for that insightful comment. They’ll look swell with bones in their noses :)
It looks like she's appropriating more than just Hindu culture.
Her dress looks nothing like what African tribal women wear.
I once asked an Italian guy if he’d like some pizza.
Italian guy: That’s not pizza.
Me: Yeah it is, it’s American pizza!
