It must be genuinely so depressing to try to make music for blacks and they could not care less. Like that must cause so much pain to have such little resonance in your own community. Lol
Okay, so first of all, you've just made a reply to me that is in two unrelated parts. The first is unrelated to anything I said. As long as you comport yourself in this manner, you will only be met with derision. It is a nonsense method of communication.
slavery’s value to America is around 3/4 of our total gdp
The fuck is this supposed to mean? Does this person think that 75% of our wealth is a direct result of a bunch of rich dudes owning slaves in the less developed part of our country 150 years ago? It probably wasn’t 3/4 of our gdp back then
I think I have an idea what that retard is referring. There are some left leaning historians (such as Ed Baptist) who attribute slavery as the driving engine of American growth. Now, of coursethat's not true, but it doesn't mean people won't parrot what they heard on social media.
lmao even assuming baptist is 100% right with that (he's not), he only makes the claim slavery was responsible for a bit under half of America's GDP in 1836; this retard says slavery's value is 3/4 of our GDP.
Also slavery wasn't/isn't even that profitable if you're not a plantation owner or something like that. Slaves (who have no incentive and means to be productive) don't create that much value. That's a very basic economic fact and that's why even early economists was vehemently against it.
But if an economy has a huge need for more labor, as the southern agricultural economy at the time did to exploit these lands that hadn't previously been cultivated with more advanced Eurasian technology, even less efficient slave labor can help fill the gaps. And even essentially free voluntary immigration from Europe was not filing the gaps. People in general still wouldn't support massive migration from Africa if the Africans had been guaranteed full rights, they would see it as decreasing their share of the pie and become incredibly resentful. But if the labor has no rights and indeed only responsibilities to the older immigrant populations, they can be convinced. Under the system of slavery you can turn a seemingly desirable commodity, human labor, that otherwise is normally inherently limited by the number of free and equal citizens in your country, into something that is more like capital such as robots and machines, increased labor that can be bought and sold according to demand that has no rights to any share of the pie, and solely increases the capital and wealth of the favored caste. Certainly there's no way that Mississippi could've been convinced to import so many west Africans that it was majority black to fill their demand for labor, otherwise. Even if the overall efficiency of the average worker would be higher in such a scenario, and the overall wealth of Mississippi, the upper caste of whites might be less wealthy on average than otherwise, and would lose sole control over political power, so they wouldn't approve. While under the system of slavery it was, for them, a win win so they bought all the slaves they could.
As a white person I think it’s not that she’s “not performing for white crowds” it’s more than she maybe noticed that a lot of her white fans fail to show solidarity with black issues/topics.
I think it’s a fair decision to make- ultimately her art is hers alone and if she feels that certain fans aren’t respecting culture that’s innate to her she has no obligation to produce for them.
Since when did listening to someones music mean I have to 'respect their culture' and stand in solitarity with their people? Also what even is that womans culture?

There's something so 2019 about an artist making black empowerment music with an audience entirely composed of crackers

So, yeah, she got her Kardashian sex tape moment with this quote and now everyone just goes to show how music has nothing to do with any of it.
