How is that any different from say Irish-Americans five generations removed from Ireland proudly wearing and flaunting symbols of Ireland, and bringing a Gaelic phrasebook to visit Ireland, or Chinese Americans keeping Chinatowns alive, even though they may have little or no connection to the immigrants who founded those enclaves in the 1800s, or even the entire Jewish diaspora keeping traditions alive for generations and reviving traditions, like using the Hebrew language, that were nearly lost?
He said it was ironic, not necessarily negative.

Also bling and misogyny are not traditional African culture. No more than any other culture anyway.
