Entertainment is cheap and disposable these days...we gotta find something else to innovate besides style. Whats the point of claiming sports, vehicles and music and jewelers when we own any of it? We aint nothing but pawns on this field, they give us the illusion of power behind this media shyt but really it means absolutely nothing if we can't even secure a spot in the future.

We need black people in tech, science, agriculture, politics and financing. All this other shyt you talking about is of no importance. Change your mindset

Far as like we created most things that are popular.

Music popularity
Sports popularity
How u dress
Slang
What type of car and jewelry u wear.

We created alot of things that are copied and we really dont bite people.

And we invented most things period

But what yall think
i will say blacks have an enormous pop cultural footprint globally
Especially if u look at our population and the circumstances we've been in the last two centuries

This. Being entertainers and trendsetters is nice and all...we proved ourselves to be masters of self expression but that shyt ain't gonna get us anywhere in today's or tomorrow's climate.

We invented Rock, Hip Hop, Techno, Jazz and Pop music.

We pretty much altered the English language around our own vernacular.

Easily the greatest athletes in world history, doubly so if you add our brothers in the UK and Caribbean.


I had little Japanese boys arguing with me who was better LeBron or Steph Curry.


That's alot to be proud of, it's time to take that next step though and truly start to dominate. It's our birthright as the originals.

Frankly anyone who isn't on the same mindset as a Black man should be worthless to you.

Don’t forget House. Although you did list techno.

I’d say so. I think the Black folks with the biggest trendsetting cultures in the world are:

Black/African Americans
Jamaicans
Black Britons
Nigerians
Black Canadians
Black South Africans

In that order.

S/O to Japan too :troll:

only power we have is influential:francis: and then let other motherfukkers capitalize off it:mjgrin:

Soft Power is the dominant political style in the world....we just don't use ours.

If consciousness or technology or fiscal responsibility became the wave in black culture it would be the wave in pop culture world wide.

Black culture (particularly Black American culture) is surprisingly celebrated in that country to the point where they even have a whole genre labeled “Black music”. Even the urban youth in South Korea and Thailand are into it too.
