"They" May NEVER Stop!!
I thought I would be writing about Barak and Angela today, but the LEGEND blew that away!
Seem's like, last night, Black Entertainers had an "epiphany"; after being "stiffed" yet again, by the Grammies! http://www.etonline.com/awards/grammys/159381_ledisi_john_legend_respond_to_beyonce_selma_controversy/. Hooray for the Legend!! This has been coming for more than a century!
(By the Way: if you didn't get to witness this morning's News Conference with Merkel and Obama; please catch it! Anybody; who cannot understand why Putin, Netanyahu, and Assad may now be the most dangerous men on our planet; must listen carefully to what Barak and Angela had to say.) The wedding of armed might with "nativist and religious" extremism, has to be conquered!
From the Twenties, when Al Jolson grew rich performing "Mammy" in blackface, to the "Invasion" of the "Mop-heads" from London (Liverpool, really); Black Music has been perpetually "Raped"; to build white industries, businesses, and careers for theieves of "intellectual properties". When Richard Wayne Penniman ("Little Richard") came into my life, and changed it forever (I was 14), Late-night Radio -- the "internet" for black youth in the early Fifties -- (carried, by ground waves) beamed to us; from far-away places like Nashville, Memphis, TN, and Del Rio, TX,, the "RACE MUSIC banned from "decent", white, airwaves!!
In his 1984 book, The Life and Times of LITTLE RICHARD The Quasar of Rock ; four white youth, described to be, not unlike our "poor trash" in the U.S. at the time, was reported to have been so poor that Richard fed them and allowed them to sleep on the floor in his hotel room. I don't have to tell you what happened after their Manager, Epstein, got the group "introduced" to the U.S. (twice)!!
RACE MUSIC became a white version of our Rock 'n Roll; with only white faces and a pitiful beat! Black performers kept producing their products, well into the Seventies, and through Motown. Then that music died as a source of income, and inspiration, for a Black Community, that was rapidly being destroyed by "Integration".
In his book; 1846, Year of Decision, Bernard DeVoto cites Black Music in the U.S. as ranking among the "best in the world". It still is; but you wouldn't know that from all the money and the BLACK institutions, and Black communities all of that talent has built! They Don' Exist! Why?? Because just about all of the money went to Whites, Jews, and Arabs; until the Beatles invaded. Then, the money went world-wide! Maybe, just maybe, this will change, after last night?? The quality of Black Music was determined by Black Communities and Processes (The Apollo Theater) that selected the best performers
Stay Vigilant! A Rape, of Many Centuries in length, may be coming to an end! A People, held in slavery and institutionalized "Darkness", may finally be "awakening"?? To succeed, this generation must FIRST prove they can acquire and hold their WEALTH; and STOP giving that away!
