Cultural Appropriation: More than just offensive, its wack! (Miley, Rihanna & Venus X)

I was debating whether to even write this post considering its been discussed a million times.
After reading a bunch of articles from professors, "journalist", blog commenters and such,
I decided to put the nail in the coffin.

Who hasn't seen Miley twerking at 100mph? Its easy to dismiss her antics as fake, insensitive,
and embarrassing but why?  Haven't we seen white people doing things akin to the black culture
and found it compelling? Such as soulful crooners like Amy Winehouse and Adele ?
The separating factor though is that they're not after an "urban" sound and they are sincere talented artist.
Amy kept it so real...its probably what brought her to her grave.

In Miley's case, she tries so hard to mimic the casual bad girl cool of Rihanna by sporting a severe hair cut, stiletto nails, and finger tats.
Not to mention snatching up songs Ri Ri rejects faster than a wig at  a pageant.
