To all the original founders, legends of the genre, back office people, consumers, and fans alike that have made the genre iconic and a world phenomenon, know that CNN News Central, on 8/11/2023, during a morning segment with John Berman and Kate Bolduan, these two news anchors and/or their producer(s), decided to make a shout-out to Hip-Hop’s 50th Anniversary, metaphorically, an eye-blink, the very last part of their segment just prior to signing off. It’s a big slap in the face and a sobering reminder that regardless of African Americans’ achievements, they will always be mediocre and marginalized by the powers that be.
Likewise, not until Black people start aggressively pouring their intellectual and financial capital into their own ideas, led by Black people, do organizations like CNN News Central begin changing their approach to the incredible genius of Black people. Stay “woke“ and trust this harsh truth.
