The same reason why biracial and non black Women have taken over radio.
You ever notice ALL the radio shows web series stuff about hip hop always features two noticeably black men, and a non black or biracial woman?
The Breakfast Club
Hot 97 w/ Ebro
Big Boy
Everyday Struggle
I can go on & on...
They always feature TWO or more obviously black men, and non black Women or biracial women.
"Free" was the last noticeably black host of 106 n Park. They replaced her with Latinas.
This is all because of the demonization of of black women. There is this belief that people don't want to see black women. A black Woman being present means low quality and low ratings.
Same reason they have clubs that won't allow black Women in, because they don't want the club to look "too black", BUT they will let black men in non stop all night.
The media (and black men) have done a successful job of demonizing us, and making us seen as undesirable. So we are no longer required in our own spaces. In fact, they prefer everyone BUT us! It always starts with black women.
This is what black women always complain about. And black men just tell us to shut up, were insecure and jealous. We been seen this, and we know where it's heading. Erasing US from our art form. Black men don't care, because it isn't happening to them, YET.
Black men are next... then all the rappers & rnb singers (male) will be non black.
