Beyonce's Ivy Park accused of blackface cultural appropriation - how this links to black wealth

<p>I was asked this week about <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23Beyonce">#Beyonce</a> and an interesting display of something called "blackfishing." &nbsp;This is where white models use blackface and stereotypical black culture in an effort to profit from the cultural authenticity granted from American blackness. &nbsp;&nbsp;While this is no fault of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23Beyonce">#Beyonce</a> or even her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23IvyPark">#IvyPark</a> brand, there are a few questions a person should ask about this Black fishing situation and also ways to understand that while this might seem harmless or just a matter of borrowing style, these actions have deep roots in the ways in which black people lose wealth all throughout the world. &nbsp;&nbsp;Beyonce and Ivy Park may want to reconsider their marketing strategies in the future.</p>
