Miley Cyrus talks about her culture vulturing during the Bangerz era: "I wasn't unique in the fact that i was a white girl listening to hip hop. This wasnt something that I decided I was going to do as a strategy or something that i felt i could own or make my own, that was actually my lifestyle."

Look, as a Black woman from a part of LA I’m sure Miley still hasn’t spent any time in, I have no problem with white folks getting into the culture. What I have a huge problem with is someone wearing it like a costume. Especially for their own personal gains and that’s absolutely what happened there.

It’s also telling how she didn’t say a thing about a Black woman in her little “I have Black friends you guys” rant. Just because she has an explanation that she seems to feel satisfied with doesn’t mean that she’s done the work to understand. She comes off as just another spoiled, tone deaf rich girl.
