How did Christina Aguilera get away with wearing blackface & cultural appropriation?

This.
 

And she was very much accepted/loved by Black folks — both artists and GP (see: her getting invited to many Black artist tributes, including Whitney).  So I don’t necessarily consider her appropriating Black culture.  She lowkey one of us lolllll.  

No she's not. Not at all. Her voice is cute, she is not a black person and the community didn't listen to her like that. Gwen, even Brit, if anything was someone the community saw as a cookout attendee.

All of this is in this user head. Christina was very well accepted in the black community. I couldn’t imagine just straight up lying like this

…I gave literal examples of Black artists that requested that she perform tributes  at various award shows…to honor Black artists.  Whitney, James Brown, Aretha, Patti, etc.  
 

Her peers have never gotten that, especially not Gwen or Brit.  
 

Earlier in her career if Xtina did an R&B album (ie, Stripped era), she totally could’ve crossed over.  Only other that could’ve done that was JT.  But def none of the women (outside of Pink — which was kinda an anomaly b/c she technically started as R&B, lol).

I don’t know who you’re speaking for but the black community do not claim Xtina. Next

The black community claims Britney more than they ever did Xtina. I don't even think the latinx community even claims her.

the answer is so obvious because we're talking about 2 different decades

I’m talking about musically, and I gave concrete examples.  So, believe what you please  lol.  
 

And I’m a Britney fan more than Xtina fan, but I’m just simply stating a fact…re:tribute invites.

Y’all don’t even actually care about black ppl y’all just want an excuse to try to be shady about Xtina

 

like she’s a mother now with two kids and y’all are coming on here in your 30s in between getting fisted by randos from Grindr to clack away at your keyboards to talk about events that are older than my cousin who just finished HS bffr

Who said that.gif?
The black community doesn't claim most of ATRL's white faves and definitely not Britney, especially after this:

 

“Britney Spears is branded RACIST after she singled out only black artists in a post saying Kevin Federline 'raised her boys with more weed than Ludacris, 50 Cent, Jay Z and Puff Daddy combined' as their feud over sons intensifies “

Also Xtina's extreme tan and hairstyles were not it but every celebrity was a culture vulture at that time.
