It’s this sort of journalisming that makes me want to quit social media all together. The author of this article cannot figure out why this particular black female singer wasn’t more popular...so it must have been RACISM! 🙄🤷‍♂️ https://twitter.com/wfmu/status/1354903836897505281
if you listen to their music - it’s weird. It’s real punk. Too punk for mainstream radio. They’re a bands band. There’s were HUNDREDS of obscure weird punk bands that influenced the scene that didn’t blow up in popularity but because THIS one didn’t, it must have been racism
People these days like to talk a lot about privilege ... but I can’t think of anything more privileged than a modern iPhone Starbucks drinking shmuck face sifting through history on Wikipedia and painting EVERYTHING with a racist brush.
What EVIDENCE do you have that white men actively prevented her from being more popular?

Answer - NONE. 🙄
Where the white guys meeting back stage to conspire against her? Or was this an unspoken understanding all the insecure white men of the scene just knew based on looks? So dumb 🙄
I think of Bam Bam’s music was actually good and marketable, the scene would have easily embraced ANYONE irregardless of skin color - but hey, maybe I’m just an optimist 🤷‍♂️😆🙄

This world is SO DUMB. Social justice is turning everyone’s brain into complete mush!
