The world keeps trying to break the same people
and then acts surprised when those people stop believing the script.
Awareness isn’t rebellion
it’s survival evolving into clarity.
@LeslieBurridge@andrewc44104127 Leslie’s comment really proves that evolution isn��t a straight line sometimes it loops back and accidentally produces a man who thinks owning a BMW is a personality.
@jmasiex@rayaejsn@FearedBuck Blues and country weren’t born in boardrooms they were forged by Black musicians in the Deep South.
The industry blocked them from radio and charts, white artists covered their songs and got the credit
If those voices had been erased completely, modern music wouldn’t exist.

"I do not think that anything is more positive than accepting what you are. The Negro in America tries to be more American than anyone else. The attempt has created a person who is actually negative in almost everything he reflects.
We are just as much African today as we were in Africa four hundred years ago, only we are a modern counterpart of it. When you hear a black man playing music, whether it is jazz or Bach, you still hear African music.
The soul of Africa is still reflected in the music played by black men. In everything else we do we still are African in color, feeling, everything. And we will always be that whether we like it or not."
