Don’t let these new fools tell you our legends were not versatile. The entire 50s to 70s stretch of legacy black acts is full of our artists moving through different modes of popular music, adjusting to the times, synthesizing new sounds and re-integrating the old.

Ok MAGA… Star Wars was always woke. Star Trek was always woke. Super Man was always woke. Y’all have been on the wrong side of history for every single meltdown. You just aren’t knowledgeable enough to understand that.

Black people. Meaning they’re about to intensify the targeting of black immigrants. Which means even black people who aren’t immigrants will also be caught up in raids. All violent systems in this country lead back to a foundational antiblackness
