when someone appropriates their own culture for attention and monetary gain. In contrasts to sell outs they are selling in. They are selling goods, particularly through the media, within their culture for a profit. They have little interests in their personal lives. They will normally end up marrying outside their race and living outside their community. However, they believe they are making a positive in their community. Instead they are sending conflicting messages.
Donald and Jordan are not aware of their conflicting appropriation. They want to bring awareness to racial issues through entertainment. Yet they show little interest in their personal life.

An unfair-to-the-customer motivation that money-hungry banks have to maintain someone's having to make payments on a loan for as long as possible.
I borrowed a thousand dollars from a local credit-union so that I could pay some local tradespeople to perform much-needed repairs on my home and vehicle. But then as it turned out, these "over-booked with repair-jobs" folks were not able to get to my repairs as soon as they'd expected, and so I didn't need the loaned money nearly so soon as I'd thought I would; I realized that I'd likely be able to pay the carpenters and mechanics "on my own" just with extra-frugality-saved funds over the next few months. So I merely returned the thousand dollars to the credit union within just two or three months after I'd taken out the loan; the clerk seemed none to pleased, since they'd only made about 22 bucks extra in the deal, instead of maybe close to a hundred if I'd taken a year to pay it all back, the way they had expected me to. Guess there was a little conflict of interest there.

Various tactics often used in a protection racket, by legal pros, corporate risk management, and the intelligence community, which are intended to draw enemy targets in to conflict generally, including (especially) conflicting interests.
I'll hire a prostitute to seduce a married target or his spouse, conflicteering him into a fight with his neighbors boss or land lord.
