People don't understand this.
Yeah, we have to do our parts. But even when we do our parts we have the weight of an entire nation, an entire economy, if not the entire world against us.
There's a reason more networks don't show black people playing guitar, and piano, and drums. When we have a huge segment of black people that go to church and are in church choirs and such. There's a reason they'd rather show us twerking, fighting, rapping, dunking, or scoring a touchdown.
There's a reason they don't funnel money into black writers (books or otherwise), or black filmmakers, not only to expand our interests or showcase our talents, but to get more of us interested or involved...
And they definitely aren't going to continually put us into any situation or circumstances to where we can operate without them. Why don't we have a black news network? Black book publishing company? More black film makers, more black artists that don't make rap and pop, but play guitar, bass, drums? Why in various states are billionaires and millions starting private schools (some using taxpayer dollars or vouchers) to spread white supremacy and Christian propaganda, but black people can't get a private black school where we can focus on and teach our children what we want them to know?
Their plan is working perfectly.
