There are things that are happening in the US that are troublesome. Some say unprecedented.
I say it has been there all the time. It is a river of fecal matter that bubbles up with pride at least two or more times in a century.
It stains everything. Especially in the realm of entertainment.
For this year's AudioMo contribution, I want to look at the African American, Black and Melanated performers that survived, became successful or created new art forms despite all kinds of obstacles.
You see, entertainment in America is a good reflection of what happens in society at any given point in time. Starting with entertainment, we have to start by looking at minstrel shows and vaudeville.
Newspapers and the funny pages too. Night clubs, how the isms moved into movies and radio and television and the new dirty veins of for profit AI videos.
If you are of a delicate nature and don't like your history sanitized. This is probably not for you.
Go elsewhere. As the crow flies...and the birthing of Jim Crow 2.0
