The breakbeat existed long before Kool Herc, and this is one of the biggest misconceptions that shows like The Get Down and modern media keep repeating.

Have y’all ever noticed how Black Americans shorten their words? Bro (brother), sis (sister), ‘cause (because), ‘bout to (about to), wit (with), ionno (I don’t know), gimme (give me), lemme (let me) Unk (uncle), etc it’s everywhere, and it’s systematic. None of this is random or sloppy. Black Americans shorten words because BAE operates on […]

When we talk about race in colonial America, we usually imagine a strict divide between “white” Europeans and “black” Africans.

The “moral hot potato” is the constant passing of accountability for systemic and communal problems. Nobody wants to own the root causes, so blame gets tossed around continuously from one demographic to the next depending on who’s holding the other group becomes the scapegoat of Black America. “It’s the men!” “it’s the women!” “it’s the […]

After the Assassination of Dr.King and Malcom X, Black America sort of waited for another Black Messiah. We really didn’t get that new leadership where the entire culture recognized them.

I just realized we might be the only group that gets emulated the way we do. When Asian groups immigrate, they don’t suddenly start speaking like other Asian groups. Chinese don’t mimic Korean mannerisms. Vietnamese don’t adopt Japanese fashion or slang to “fit.” Each community arrives with a strong internal identity, and they maintain very […]
