@Black Trash! and @8WON6 what ya are talking about get echo in this article

This article that was posted in Higher Learning is an excellent breakdown of everything the OP is arguing. It’s a long-read, but both you and the author are making the same point.
- Who Actually Gets to Create Black Pop Culture? ❧ Current Affairs

Thanks
Will read
Irony is more Black people in Hollywood led to less working class Black ppl getting in

I'm assuming Whites wanted that authentic shyt so would hire someone like a Wesley Snipes or a Martin

Now...:francis:

Black artist whole goal used to be to cross over. Well the whole damn culture done crossed over. Now what's left on the otherside? People use black culture as a tool or a theme to enjoy. I remember Bill O'Reilly saying Michael Jackson is not a black icon he's an American icon when he died. Our shyt is for everybody because everybody knows its value.

@voltronblack @8WON6

One thing I give Meg credit for is her team knows how to play the PR game.
They co-opted that progressive language when she was going against Tory

If a nikka like Dababy or Boosie was hip
Had her writing articles

That's how this shyt is won
