Pat Boone wasn't doing an innocent cover of Little Richard at the exact same time. This was part of a concerted effort to shut black entertainers out.
There's a reason years later Motown Records hired an etiquette coach for their singers, to avoid the kind of white backlash Little Richard's flamboyancy triggered.
I'm skeptical about this tbh, not that they weren't lifting black music but trying to black genocide black music. Is this not a case of trying to make a buck off popular trends, by tailoring it to white-friendly benchmarks? Like bowlderized versions of Shakespeare?
The alleged problem with the Kooks ladies is that they took culture from a foreign country. Black and white musicians in the US are already part of the same cultural ecosystem, and can compete in the same marketplace.
The problem in that instance is that the whites had what amounted to a monopoly on the distribution system - they owned the radio stations, record labels, etc. - and were deliberately shutting out black artists. This allowed Pat Boone's milquetoast Little Richard covers to gain a traction they didn't "deserve", in a free market sense. The equivalent in this case would be if the tortilla ladies of Puerto Nuevo were somehow barred from selling their wares in Portland, if there were a metaphorical "fence" between them and their potential customers, leaving the market wide open for inferior copies.
Obviously the best way to get market justice for victims of "cultural appropriation" (allowing free movement of capital and intellectual property across borders while strictly controlling the movement of human beings) is for "white people" (economically privileged denizens of Fortress America) to deny themselves delicious tortillas in solidarity. It's like refusing to cross a picket line, one that only exists in the part of our imaginations perpetually dedicated to rationalizing an unearned place in an unjust world. |
