This is beyond ridiculous. What sort of things can we as whites accuse others of appropriating?

* Michael B. Jordan originally launched his rum brand under the name J'Ouvert. * Prominent members of the Caribbean community, including Nicki Minaj, criticized the name. * J'Ouvert is a phrase used in Caribbean culture to mark the start of Carnival season. The "Black Panther" actor Michael B. Jordan said he was renaming his new rum brand after the original name was accused of appropriating Caribbean culture. The 34-year-old actor launched his rum brand earlier this month under the name J'Ouvert. The name appeared to be borrowed from the phrase used on many Caribbean islands to mark the start of Carnival. Jordan faced strong criticism from members of the Caribbean community, including the rapper Nicki Minaj, who was born in the island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, after it was uncovered that a business trademark had been filed for the name. On Tuesday, in a post to his Instagram story, Jordan said he was "in the process of renaming" the rum. "I just wanna say on behalf of myself & my partners, our intention was never to offend or hurt a culture(we love & respect) & hoped to celebrate & shine a positive light on," he wrote in an Instagram post. "Last few days has been a lot of listening. A lot of learning & engaging in countless community conversations..." He continued: "We hear you. I hear you & want to be clear that we are in the process of renaming. We sincerely apologize & look forward to introducing a brand we can all be proud of."

One of the most boring actors I've ever watched was scared into submission by Nicki Minaj. The entertainment industry is a joke right now

It’s funny because Michael B Jordan has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of woke Hollywood culture.

This cliche statement was drafted by a woman. No man says these things. Only women and fruits communicate like that.

Of all the stupid SJW tropes, cultural appropriation has to be the dumbest.

From petition to stop the name:
