If youโre an intelligent black man, itโs almost essential that you be visible, in some form or fashion.
Otherwise, theyโll pretend we donโt exist, & that weโre all dumb brutes.
You donโt have to cosplay whiteness, or publicize all your moves.
But donโt make yourself invisible.
Every day I awake and give praise to Maze and Frankie Beverly for not switching up and sounding like Duran Duran and then calling my mama nem anti-Black for wondering why they sound like the innits now
Quick reminder that if you buy records / tapes / CDs / downloads / merch / anything from independent artists and labels youโre literally keeping underground music alive. Thank you for that.
