Elections Have Consequences

[IM2]

Me and my grandfather share the same thoughts. Again would a white supremacist listen to this?

Yes.

 

[DakotaKai_fan20]

Yes.

A person who hates black people wouldn't listen to a black singer. Apparently you went woke before woke was a modern term.

Isn't that the TRUTH! You are absolutely correct! You Go!

 

[IM2]

You are just crazy.. You obviously appease the woke crowd. I suggest you stop being woke.

Little boy, the fact is that all kinds of white racists lined up to hear Little Richard, Chuck Berry and others. White racists stole money from them and allowed white artists to cover their songs and make huge money. So you really need to stop repeating code words. If I am woke, I'm staying woke. I suggest you stop telling a man 40 years older than you what to do and listen because I know more than you do.

White singers covered their songs because they enjoyed them, not because they are racists.

Incorrect. Millions of whites who hate blacks attend NFL and NBA games, comedy shows and concerts annually. Whites who hate blacks like to be entertained by blacks. It's always been that way.

What is woke little boy?

Wrong again. Racists would want segregation in NFL, NBA games, same with comedy shows and concerts. Racists would attend all white NFL, NBA games, comedy shows, and concerts. What you are saying doesn't make any damn sense.

It was because they were racists and the music industry is racist. The black artists like Little Richard did not receive royalties from the songs white artists covered for decades.

Very. Comes January 20th 2025 he's not going to have a clue what's about to hit him.

Wrong. Segregation is illegal. Racists do attend events and there have been incidents of racism by whites against black athletes at sporting events. Your opinion doesn't match reality. White racism today doesn't work like you say and you know it.

Everything that doesn't go your way is somehow RACIST! Man,you need to get a grip of REALITY!

I boycotted the NFL for the "black national anthem" there is no such thing as a black national anthem.

 

[Road Runner]

Wrong. Segregation is illegal.

In that case you should be in jail because that's your whole entire attitude.

 

[Justin Richardson]

The TRUTH hurts....doesn't it! Like a huge boulder rolling after you and it's about to flatten your arse!

He is so delusional that he will call us racists for not agreeing with him. That is not how racism works.

Same here! That was absurd!

Black Artists Are Still Getting Ripped Off the Way Little Richard Was​

Three years before Little Richard signed the record deal that would change his life, his father was murdered. Richard had 12 brothers and sisters, and as the eldest boy who wasn’t off fighting in the Korean War, it fell on him to provide for his siblings and his mother. He was 19 years old.

His only hope, he thought, was to make a hit song, and he was desperate for a chance to record. He sent a demo to Specialty Records—one of the few labels working with Black artists in the early 1950s—and called them nearly every week for a year, begging them for studio time. In 1955, the label finally relented. Richard recorded five songs, four of which most people have never heard of. But one would go on to change the course of music history, laying the foundation for what later became known as rock ‘n’ roll: “Tutti Frutti.”

A week and a half after it was released, “Tutti Frutti” had sold 200,000 copies; by 1968, it had sold more than 3 million, and Little Richard had become a superstar. Over the years, the song made millions of dollars for Specialty’s owner, a white man named Art Rupe—but Richard received only a fraction of the proceeds. Rupe bought “Tutti Frutti” for $50, and paid Richard half a cent for every copy it sold. According to Richard’s biographer, an unknown white artist in those days typically made ten times that much.

“If you wanted to record, you signed on their terms or you didn’t record,” Richard later told his biographer. “It didn’t matter how many records you sold if you were Black…. The very thought of it is sickening to me now. [Art Rupe] made millions and he should owe me millions.”

Fast forward 65 years, and that kind of egregious exploitation of a Black artist might seem unthinkable. But according to Black label executives, entertainment attorneys, and music business professors who spoke with VICE, not much has changed. All too often, major labels prey on young, poor Black artists, offering them lopsided record deals in which the company owns their music in perpetuity. In exchange, they’re given cash advances that account for a fraction of what their music will ultimately bring in, and a minuscule percentage of the royalties their music earns.

“If you go back to the 50s, it’s the exact same character sketch today: African-American, poor, looking for a way out of their circumstances, and using their talent as a way out,” said Eric Holt, an assistant professor of music business at Belmont. “That is easy to exploit: ‘Let’s give them a little bit, and they don’t even know the value of what they’re selling us for this little bit.’”

The kind of egregious exploitation Richard faced in the 1950s might seem unthinkable today. But for many Black artists, not much has changed.

We know that. But he apparently doesn't care...he is always using the RACE card in everything! Even at issues that has NOTHING to do with RACE. But somehow, some way, he has to insert his insanity and racism in them anyways!
