It will never end cause they will always find a new low.
Just throw it back at them. If they accuse you of cultural appropriation then just take a look at them up and down. Unless they are wearing a loin cloth then they are culturally appropriating White styles of dress (eg. shoes, pants, shirts, jackets, hats--all White People clothes.)
If they are speaking English or French or any other European language, kindly remind them they are appropriating a White language.
Drive car or bike? Appropriating White People inventions.
Using a Sail foam? The internet? Twitter? Even "black" twitter? Appropriating White People technology.
Use a toilet or toilet paper? Appropriating White People sanitation.
Live in something other then a mud and stick hut? Appropriating White People architectural innovation.
If they are doing literally anything other then wearing animals skins, speaking in click language, and flipping over elephant turds to find bugs to eat, then they are appropriating White Peoples culture.

Your ancestors were brought here against their will, right? Your ancestors were forced to work here, right? Go home, African--you're appropriating my country.

Their ancestors were taken to America by black African slavers.

After they abolished slavery in the United States, the Americans under President Monroe created the country of Liberia in Africa for the slaves to return to.
They were encouraged to return home after slavery was abolished.

That is the greatest reply I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

"Greens are actually part of West African cuisine where the slaves were captured."
yeah CNN go ahead and print that. It doesn't sound like a 5th grader wrote it for their MLK Day required essay or anything.

Some PR advice for Whole Foods. Don't respond to anything on black twitter. Let it burn itself out. These dindus aren't shopping at your stores anyway and those who were don't give a shit about what other dindus say about collards.

It's ridiculous though! Whites ate it first! It was brought over by Columbus!

Collard greens are disgusting anyway. I'll stick with regular vegetables.

"Cultural Appropriation" is one of the most absurd things I've heard espoused in a long time.

My first response would be that the scientific name for collard greens is Brassica oleracea. That name is GREEK.
The Greeks, Romans, Celts all grew and consumed cultivars of collard greens. But why would nogs know this? They don't bother to pick up a book, or perform a simple Google search.
Instead, they have declared this leafy green vegetable to be "theirs" because southern slaves decided to eat it thousands of years after Europeans developed the cultivars. Now it's somehow off limits to whites. Really pathetic stuff!!!

Just like how they always claim a black man invented peanut butter - nope, it was invented thousands of years ago by the Aztecs and Incas. Even when George Washington Carver decided to mash up some peanuts, the patent for peanut butter had already been created years beforehand.
Nogs bitch about cultural appropriation when literally everything they enjoy is a non-black invention or discovery. Best thing to do is ignore them.

Marcellus Gilmore Edson did it ten years before this nig nog entered college. There's also evidence of mashed peanuts 6000 years ago.
