I think the stupidest idea I heard repeated ad nauseam during the woke era was that certain foods, hairstyles, speech patterns, music, clothing, symbols, culture etc… belonged to certain people and not others.

As a human being you should be constantly stealing good ideas, copying what works trying things out, exploring, playing, remixing etc…

Like is rock n roll black music? Is it white music? Is it American? Is it British? It’s a fusion created by all those groups and they all have partial ownership of it, but no one gets to lay claim to an idea. You can’t own an idea.
