Fighting cultural appropriaton can't stop at defending African hairstyles and Native headdresses from white appropriation.

We have made a lot of progress in the past few years thanks to movements like Black Lives Matter and the support that they have received on social media. There are still a lot of bigoted people out there despite this progress, and these people have power, control and media influence behind them, just look at Donald Trump and his "totally not racist" supporters.

In a time when we are concerned with black lives, and the lives of all people of color, we must also be concerned with communities of color. These communities are under attack, not just by corrupt police, but by cultural parasites that are trying to move to these communities because it's trendy!

Gentrification is the final form of cultural appropriation. White people move to communities of color and adopt the cultural heritage of this community as if it is their own, and soon the face of this culture is no longer the face of those who created it, it's a white face. We have seen this happen to Egypt, and in modern times, to Hip-Hop and dreadlocks.

We need to stand up to this modern form of colonialism, you don't have to be a person of color to help, call your white friends out when you see them appropriating culture from communities of color. I repeat; call them out!

If you're a real estate agent, don't show white people homes in communities of color. If you are a person of color and a white business has moved into your community, boycott it! The war against gentrification is an economic one, these parasites will leave when they realize that you won't line their pockets.

To let communities of color be victimized as they have been is a travesty. They are treating these communities like capital generators, like cattle, and this strips the members of these communities of their basic human rights, such as dignity and cultural self determination.

It seems that white people want to "build a wall" between their communities and communities of color, unless they can profit off of those communities. This is the same behavior of whites in Africa when they discovered the people who they considered to be subhuman, and who they wanted to keep separate from the "civilized" whites, until they realized that they could steal the labor of these people to build their evil empire.

People of color must resist, by any means necessary. Look at the car companies in Detroit, these parasites suck the value out of a community and then they leave it to rot. The ideal solution would be to pass laws that protect businesses founded by people of color and make it harder for whites to start businesses in communities of color, but this will never happen under the control of the white supremacist legal system in the US.

The only feasible solution, for now, is to resist, speak out, and protest until the system cannot ignore the demands for change and equality.
