I know at least one black man who thinks hip hop is only black african art, and that latinos were not or are not co-creators of hip hop, i guess he would say the same about arabs in france or turks in germany. In Germany the category "Deutsch Rap" is mostly arabs and turks and kurds. But they do not say "n*gg" though I guess they do not disrespect the black africans, but they do hip hop and gangster rap, do you think that is still wannabe black? I mean why even the debate, whether it is black or not, often it appears when a white man is into rap, then they call him deragotory a "wigger" what if it is a latino, a maghrebi or a turk (i leave the question whether turks are white or not up to you before someone says "but we turks are white" i do not take a stance but in germany it is fact that most rappers are turks).
What do you think of hard rock or metall and what do you think if a black man is into hard rock or metall, what if a black man is a odinist? In many Marvel Movies black people are portraying Norse Gods? Of course some people on these forum and elswhere will not like it but in the mainstream narrative there is nothing wrong with it, it is diversity and positive, but if a white woman were to portray cleopatra there would be outrage, eventhough cleopatra was greek, but somehow the afrocentrist narrative that all egyptians were black appeared now.
So I ask from a mainstream media and movies perspective. If you think that is a fact and should not even be disputed ok, but i guess it is often disputed in the media, even famous hollywood actors have to "apologise" sometimes, or submit to such narratives, like saying "i wont play this role a black man/woman should play this role".
