What is the difference between appreciating and appropriating?

seems to me as if this is a question that should be brought up more in everyday conversations to make people think about if the world is doing things right. Appreciating is more of actually being thankful for something, giving whatever you appreciate all the credit. There is not enough appreciating going on in the world which leads us to be more bitter and selfish as humans. Appropriating on the other hand is like a bad spin on appreciation, it seems as if appropriating is claiming something as your own and then defending it. Appropriating is like not doing something then taking all the credit and claiming all the work instead of giving the credit where it is due. In the article “who owns southern food” we are told exactly what appropriation is by one who has experienced it. More times than not, it is white privilege as stated in the story. He speaks about how southern food culture is openly appropriated, they claim it as their own and then teach and talk about it as if it were their creation. Appropriation is actually way deeper as it goes into white privilege invalidating black people’s thoughts and opinions period. Appropriation is almost meant to scare minorities away from doing what’s in their blood. Appreciation is the good and appropriation is the bad at the end of the day.
