White Person here. If you look at white culture, all that was white culture was wiped out by the medieval rise of Christianity, and then feudalism(and the capitalism/socialism debate that arose later between the Saxon and Slav descendant nationalist cultures), and then the white suburban 1930s/1940s/1950s myths(in the U.S. especially), and the repressive angst of these mindsets, all of which were built with the supremacy of their home cultures/values in mind, hence systemic white supremacy. All of the varied cultures of white people from Europe that have pre-christian origins were either incorporated into Christianity as part of a denomination or wiped out. White people steal culture because once we no longer have a full-commitment to one of the above, we start to understand how hollow they are, and how much we don't know ourselves. So we crave something to fill the void. And marketing takes up what the media has fetishized and commodified about anyone who isn't the white standard and sells it to white people as a new trend, fashion, etc. Also, coincidentally fetishizing and commodifying the people from which these things came.
Doesn't excuse it, but there it is. It's not white peoples fault for not having their home cultures anymore, but it is our fault for instead of rediscovering our ancestral cultures we do the ignorant appropriations about it.
And you’re asking Black folk?
You seem lost.
Sorry.
Because they fetishize black people and black culture even while they despise us and treat us as subhuman
