[Sauce Dab]

This dude didn't even try to answer the question
Elliot asked him about diversity and dude starts talking about Rae Sremmurd out of nowhere
Dude side stepped that question better than Birdman does

Probably cause he's knows that he has a point and he don't give a fukk.

They legit don't have any interests in hiring black people for a online publication mostly revolving around black culture.

It doesn't matter how, progressive, forward thinking, etc someone is, when it comes to black people that's where alot of people draw the line.

More proof black culture seems to be better enjoyed without black people....a bunch of goddamn racist gentrifiers that love black culture and art but will never shake their deeply embedded & conditioned discomfort, fear, resentment, hatred, and paranoia of black people. It's neo-colonialism.

I made that thread cause I was trying to make a very cognizant point.

The legacy of institutional racism in the workforce and nepotism will never end. Black music, art, and culture is now a way to extend the legacy of white privilege for those looking to make a buck from the blood, sweat, and tears of black people. This situation has played itself too many times for me to sit down and try to justify or accept anymore.

Imagine being a young knowledgeable black writer and graduating college hoping to get that big break working for your favorite hip-hop magazine...only to confront this conundrum. It's disheartening. Black culture and the institutions that bring it forward to the masses on a physical and monetary scale is yet another good old boys clubs controlled by whites where blacks are the minority of the staff. Basically the same bullshyt as a black person in America you would expect in other industries and other jobs is present in areas where the business revolves around and is based off of teh artistic and cultural contributions of blacks. Yet no black people are in abundance in these areas.

The sad thing was seeing other black people in that thread try to rationalize it. It saddens me to see black people trying to rationalize injustice, inequality, and racism in the business world simply because the weight of it is too heavy for them to bear.

So whatchu gonna do about it besides give them promo?

Thats not for discussion on this public forum.

We all know how outsiders lurk this forum...take stuff we talk about...use it for their own advantage and never give us credit. I will be damned if that happens.

For now....this discussion will never be over. I will make sure this conversation continues until they actually acknowledge these claims.
