I guess BLM is focusing on the important issues these days ...

Black Lives Matter: Kardashians Appropriating Black Culture | The Daily Caller

I wonder if Kanye agrees that his wife is racist ..

This is why the term racist is losing meaning ..

And a black man appropriated a white woman. He can have her, by the way, I'm just pointing that out.

Not too long ago, black women had to fight because they were sometimes forbidden to wear braids or any "ethnic" hairdos in certain office environments. Now, celebrities want to pay you the compliment of imitation ( sincerest form of flattery ) and you are pissed? Mathews, you must be very young.

( for those that didn't click the link, Mathews is the activist that feels disempowered by this cultural appropriation. Her words. )

People who have no interest in or appreciation for black style are racist. People who like it so much that they try to imitate it are also racist.

The Kardashians are trying to be black without understanding the significance of being black, Matthews said. Creating features like the curvaceous derriere and full lips, wearing tight clothes and using nomenclature from the black community is insulting, she said. It does nothing to empower the black community and instead steals from it while giving nothing back.

Really? Seriously?

Tell us: BLM fools; what about "white" ladies with blond hair and blue eyes who've got "ghetto booty"? Too; I dated a lady 10 years ago, blue eyes and natural blond hair, she had the biggest set of lips I ever saw on a white woman and they were def real. Period.

This is too funny. And then they wonder why hardly anyone takes them seriously or even cares what they think.

That's what it's always meant until recently. Now it's up to us to figure out what's what when the acronyms overlap,

Some people actually call her a gold digger, which cracks me up.

As if she's supposed to date a broke guy.
