Sadly, the unseasoned cracker consortium isn’t smart enough to understand the message.

Well there are two kinds of crackers. Those who are smart enough to understand, and those who are never going to be willing to understand. A smart ones can’t relate but they get it.

Sorry, it was SZA, not Beyonce.

Beyoncé on Christmas Day. Otherwise known as The Beyoncé Bowl.

So, I'm watching a coup d'etat of my country, by hostile entities Trump, and musk, and we are being asked to have faith in the same justice system that failed to arrest and jail Trump--that ultimately led to his being re-elected (by stupid people) who is now essentially a dictator-king?

What are you talking about?! “The media desperately wants to hide…“? What a bunch of garbage. What “media“? Breitbart? The so-called media can’t put a lid on what is already out there. Stop blaming the media. You give them too much damn power. We are the media. Us.

Agreed 👍

While I still think Lemonade is Beyonce's masterpiece, more and more I think Cowboy Carter is not just an enjoyable album but an broadening of the narrative of how country music developed and how our black community added to it

Look up this documentary if you get a chance. As a small teaser, Hendrix and Slash are native and black Americans. It starts out talking about Link Wray's song "Rumble". Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World
2017 ‧ Documentary/Music ‧ 1h 43m

This country was built on the backs of the oppressed.

The Media only hides American culture from white Americans. Black people are the face of American culture abroad, and that's fact.

If you don't believe me, look up how many jazz/blues/hip-hop/soul acts thought they were nothing until they toured outside of the US and got more flowers than they could carry.

The uk is massively indebted to black culture since medieval times.
Even though some parts of our society would wish otherwise we have a rich history of black culture. ✊🏽

All over the world. Actually, the only American influence. Black Americans are seen as hip, nice, talented, intelligent, beautiful and tough when they need to be, like most normal people everywhere, but the USA. WA loves being the victim and "scared".😂

I think that might be the best way to fight back against a budding dictatorship.

Happy Black History Month. 🇺🇲

mshmcw.bsky.social•12 days ago

As someone who goes back and forth to Europe, there is no hiding Black American Culture and its impact on the world. I see White kids with the names of black Americans on their clothing and singing or rapping back music. Same with Urban Style all Black America. Waste of energy trying.

manyzeros.bsky.social•12 days ago

Meanwhile doing that in my area is seen as ghetto and therefore uncivilized. It's really nice to hear that's not the case everywhere.

mshmcw.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm so sick of the majority of WAmericans. I mean so sick of them. They have this superiority complex with chips on their shoulders. They think they know everything and are the only ones who can do anything. They have no life experiences and "scared" is their fav word. Scared of everything.

day-at-night.bsky.social•12 days ago

I definitely feel like I'm constantly scared...of other white americans...

pnwwindy.bsky.social•11 days ago

I'm mostly scared that I don't understand what is being SAID!
Is that clear enough? If you want people who are trying to
be with you, speak English clearly because anyone can mumble, stumble & claim things, but who knows what they're claiming?????

mshmcw.bsky.social•11 days ago

Can't read and hurt feelings. What a shock! Poor victim, poor poor white victim. What doesn't hurt your feelings and scare you?

pnwwindy.bsky.social•11 days ago

Excuse me?I am not playing the poor victim role-never have.
I'm 83,you can label me OLD & STUPID too,I don't care.
I have a lot to do,reading & keeping up on who is popular music-wise is not something I spend my time doing.So I'd like to at least know what the artist is saying,so I can enjoy or not.

There's no such thing as "the media" and nobody's "desperate."
Institutions change when the numbers change. Sometimes the numbers change quickly, as in the way Lester Bangs wrote, "Elvis kicked How Much Is That Doggie In The Window out and replaced it with Let's Fuck."
