really? this is just ridiculous and racist. telling me how i should act? smh. if a bunch of white people got together and made a show like this, black people would be mad. but they can do it and its whatever. i grew up and was raised around black people i refuse to fall under this white guilt thing everyone is pushing now
i mean what happened in the past should be learned from. but dwelling on it is pointless when i didnt enslave anyone or purposely made anyone feel less than because of their race. do black people dwell on the fact that they were slaves everyday? no, so why the **** should i be guilty of a past, of a race of people i was born into like wtf. i didnt ask for this and neither did they
also black people are very talented, i agree, every race has talented individuals, its a human characteristic. but its not like theyre the only ones and they came up with everything. if you want to be technical about it, the people who even came up with the theory for modern music are white people. "Elvisising" or whatever, is the weakest of terms and not cool, Elvis totally grew up around black people as well, he also gave credit to them, you think anyone cared about that in that race era? no they just thought they were superior and whatever he picked, he made better. its even sillier when you consider how the country was segregated. there was mainstream radio(white radio) and urban radio(black radio), music is music, Elvis wasnt gonna get played on black radio making the kind of music he liked, where else would he go? its just white radio was where the money was and black artists usually didnt get paid well, which made them mad at the white artists. but its not like black and white artists werent stealing from each other to make money. also the music copyright laws were different and that era is apart of the reason its now how it is. black artists didnt get the amount of coverage the white artists did or the money, but that can be applied to almost any industry back then, to try and make Elvis this symbol of cultural appropriation really annoys me
i dont encourage this kind of behavior but if they really want to be petty like this, we could go into how ya know, a white guy invented the electricity you are able to use for this shitty show, the camera youre using to make this video, i mean thats part of our culture then right? its silly thinking, this is idiocy. and i refuse to let this stupid white guilt agenda make me feel like i owe someone something, I dont. **** you Netflix for this pandering bullshit
anyways im not trying to get into any kind of race debate, just expressing how the video made me feel. carry on
