Memetic appropriation

Basically cultural appropriation but specifically regarding memes. Memetic appropriation is when somebody says a meme reference but they don't actually understand the context behind the meme and have no idea where the meme originated from. They only say it because everybody else is saying it.

Cultural Appropriation

Cultural appropriation is when someone steals something from a culture that isn't their own. This is not the same as Cultural Appreciation.

So when white people wear box braids or cornrows, IT IS CULTURAL APPROPRIATION. AND YOU WILL GO BALD BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE THE RIGHT HAIR TEXTURE
1: You cant wear box braids, its cultural appropriation
2: Ok, so we are gatekeeping hairstyles now?
1: No, Box braids are from the AFRICAN culture... It started back in slave times.

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.
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.
