This blog is a visual articulation of MY views of the world around me. I will present various sides of arguments, and always sum them up with my own personal take.
My more entertaining/diverse/ridiculous/lovable blog can be found at http://mrjdjude.tumblr.com/ and I'll do all of my following from that blog as well!
Thanks and enjoy!

Cultural Borrowing or Cultural Appropriation: What is the Line?
Came across this post (shoutout to afrocentricmiss and colormysoul. So many good DMV blogs!) while going through my mrjdjude Dashboard.
I’ve never claimed to be a hip-hop head, on the contrary, I’ve openly and publicly stated that I’m NOT a hip-hop connoisseur.
What does “authenticity” mean in reference to Hip-Hop, an art form often based on “sampling” music from other performers?
The film posits that identifying with black culture has offered white performers and consumers a means to lift inhibitions, and in the case of Hip-Hop has given white men license to act aggressively masculine.
