    I think it is fetishizing when you systemically oppress black people but coopt their art.

      that’s appropriation, and black people themselves are fetishized, but I don’t know if that’s appropriate to say about the culture.

        The black people are being farmed for cash by the executives and stockholders.

        “The Black Youth” were motivated to buy a whole new identity to relate to country. They are taking back something from white people. Buy buying the things to make them look country.

        Things that were lacking buyers from traditional demographics because they had always been country. Now those companies have more people to sell to. Same owners tho.

        That’s the key fetish. Money.
