im black and really it just depends on who you ask. I dont speak for all black people but I honestly see no problem with it. I don’t know what you identify as but as long as you’re aware of your privilege as a non-black person then im good.
that's the thing, i know one person can't speak for all black people, but if it even offends one black person, I don't want to chance it, so I want to get a wide variety of responses to see
i'm honestly just really honoured he chose to give them to me

Well, if it was given to you by a BPP member I wouldn’t consider it appropriating. c: And they wanted you to put it on your backpack so go on with cho bad self.
Bobby Lee was a member of the BPP. He's Seale's cousin (or he said he was. I wasn't sure if that was a culture thing, cos I call all Algerians "cousin" regardless of if we're blood related and it confuses people sometimes)
I talked to one of my supervisors in the place where I work, cos Malikia is black and pretty aware, and she said I can show I'm an ally and it wouldn't be appropriating.
