[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I know people are making fun of me but honestly if I walked into a white friend's house and their living room had kente cloth wallpaper and tribal masks on it, I would find it strange. If their living room had tiki idol wall paper with their mid century modern decor, I would also do a double take. But that cabinet that pp posted wouldn't get a side eye from me. But it made me wonder if it should and if having furniture from other cultures is ok. [/quote]

Why is African art “strange?” Seriously. I want to understand why you think this? Should a person have no art that isn’t from their own culture, or is it just African art that you think is offensive? [/quote]

The elephant in the room here is that it would be seen as taboo in America where cancel culture is prevalent-especially so if you do anything that may offend ADOS Black people. That’s the biggest grey area where the line is fine. No one wants to walk it.

Obviously, by the pp’s statement, you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t.
