Conflicting appropriation

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.
