I think every culture gets culture vultured equally, but American black culture gets the least flowers in return as much as I can say as someone who isn't black.

The internet and globalization makes it fair game, but if you're talking about letting people live in your community then I don't know much about that.

Traditions, Music, Their pop culture

Like for example, a black man can’t go into Bollywood and achieve the same success as an average Indian actor, because that Industry might block that person from succeeding cuz they don’t represent their mold/standard/culture.

but those are usually sensitive pc people. Most people don't give af offline in the real world and prolly just be racist as usual

Gate Keeping imo is more than just arts and entertainment, it starts with education. Valuing ones history. If we just kept it here as American or Black European history, there isn't enough internal respect or reverence about our history. Example: We're approaching the Holiday season, around this time there are annual shows and movies ie Wizard of Oz, Charlie Brown, Grinch etc. that remind us of the season we're in. Accompany this with the Thanksgiving Day Parade and events alike. This keeps us in a mind frame to participate in American festive culture. When we celebrate Halloween, for some that's an annual cultural tradition. Thanksgiving & Christmas, annual cultural American tradition. Hanukkah, annual Jewish tradition. What about Black America? Black Europe? Any form of a diasporic tradition?

A simple gesture of an annual day where we recognize our culture in these lands that's special to us, that alone keeps us away from being 'gate keepers' Holidays, Biblical Feast Days, etc. Ramadan, Chinese New Year, all psychologically and spiritually keeps one within that said culture. They grow a deeper respect for what they belong to. What they're raised in. What they're passing down from generation to generation.

If we want to truly have a culture, we must develop Tradition and have each and every one of us venerate that tradition over the lands that we're living in.

Whether in BHM we only spend within Black Dollars, we keep a 'Sabbath' during BHM. We only watch black movies etc. There has to be a true love for ones heritage.

I feel that but even that’s shaky. Cause what’s considered African American at this point? Black in America? But there’s so many different groups just in that.

Not a good example lol. How many other races were in blaxploitation films? That’s what those genres are for it’s not even gatekeeping.

All cultures should be doing that but at a limit

There’s a difference between being a culture vulture and appreciation

And we have to realize there is a difference

Using your example, it only really happens in African-American culture really, not black culture as a whole.

Black people from Africa and the Caribbean gatekeep their culture better.

The truth is, it's always easier to gatekeep something when you have less ethnical mixing to deal with to begin with and when you're not the minority. White people in America don't have any problems gatekeeping a lot of things.
