ERIC BOLLING: Cultural -- this is a new one for me, Greg. Cultural appropriation. People own culture?

GREG GUTFELD: I hate both of these people equally. Cultural appropriation is a hoax. You don't own anyone's culture. In fact I guarantee everything that that black woman was wearing has been appropriated from some other culture, made from somewhere else. But then, white young guys with dreadlocks, it's a lifestyle on their head. You know that they drink soy milk. You know that they play drums on the beach. You know they have a hacky sack and you know they have a trust fund. And you also know that they pretend like it's not a big deal but they're dying for to you ask about their dreadlocks. And it stinks.

BOLLING: Juan, does a white guy in dreadlocks offend you? Do you feel he's appropriating your culture?

JUAN WILLIAMS: Not at all. I mean, I find it odd sometimes -- and I do think it's very real. Cultural appropriation is very real. But I mean, you know where I think it's real? It's like rap music. Which I, ya know, every time I say to people, you know who's the biggest consumers of rap music are? White people. Teenage white guess. Why do they love it? I guess it's teen rebellion or something, and they say stereotypes about black people are rebellions and violent.

BOLLING: So are white teens in the suburbs, they're appropriating black culture?

WILLIAMS: What?

BOLLING: They're appropriating it or just enjoying it?

WILLIAMS: No, they're taking it. I think, they're in their car and rapping about over-sexed and violent.

GUTFELD: What about Darius Rucker doing country music?

WILLIAMS: That's country music. That's a different thing.

GUTFELD: He's appropriating white music.

WILLIAMS: That's a different kind of appropriation if you think of like Elvis or Blue-Eyed Soul, like Hall & Oates. And I love Hall & Oates.
