I have zero doubts about that, and no one paying attention to capitalism since at least… let&#39;s say Gershwin? as at least one cultural mile marker? can seriously claim otherwise.<br/><br/>Hokay. So.<br/><br/>I watched the finals of the Olympics breakdancing—but I missed the preliminary / qualifying battles. And therefore I totally missed the Australian who seems associated with all the discussion of cultural appropriation.<br/><br/>My question is just:<br/><br/>Did that particular dancer herself do something to propel her association with cultural appropriation, or is it more sort of a &#34;the appropriation / control conversation absolutely needed to happen, and she&#39;s gotten caught up in it&#34; scenario? 2024-08-13T01:52:22Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszdj2t5lpgzc8kcy0t532puwfne0crc9vhmf80zu8498rppupsq0czyqd5425lur4exjlac0yur0rq0hl5mwwnwl84gvcf9qpd29dma0djz524c9w In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8k27vmv5jkr5q2d8wv4m6zezahksptlel27hs2yhe5vv4hsqkfncm7rydz'>nevent1q…rydz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>And as we know after Black Lives Matter organizing kicked off, reading alone will not be sufficient.<br/><br/>Again: it&#39;s not sufficient on its own, away from other people.
