Mind you, this is in response to Killer Mike arguing in favor of credit unions, creating black businesses and ownership. Capitalism isn't going away anytime soon, if ever. The idea that black people should simply withdraw from the system makes no logical sense. Why shouldn't we be building businesses and credit, especially at a time when some of us (specifically black women) are graduating with degrees at higher levels than ever before. Now is the time for investment and community.
I'd also love to understand why what Killer Mike is preaching is problematic, but Noname pinning a tweet where she is selling her music on Spotify/Apple/etc is fine. If any involvement in capitalism (to the point credit unions, something I wasn't aware anyone opposed, is wrong) is bad, why are you selling your music instead of giving it away to your people.
