Ever listened to "American Pie"? It's all about white American culture being devoured by a new, modernized, commercial culture.

And ironically, a lot of what devoured Don MacLean's America was derived from black American culture.

I think the real force devouring all the cultures is not controlled by white people, or Americans, or any group. It's its own force.

Yeah, I agree. I mean it's just people's natural inclination to mimicry I think. It's like... how we work as a species to some degree.

The complaint, of course, is white people and Americans maybe unfairly harnessing/monetizing that force. But I think you're basically right.

Do you think inroads are being made on the monetization thing? More production companies owned by black ppl?

Maybe? Whether we're moving forward or backwards on that overall depends on your pov on viral/popular social media content by poc I think.

Idk. people often point to web articles that are basically compilations of funny tweets, but how much $$ do those articles generate?

Or the Cash Me Outside girl that got a record deal, whereas the Eyebrows on Fleek girl... GoFundMe'd her business selling extensions?

Both of which are monetizations but the white Cash Me Outside girl appears to have been rewarded to a greater extent?
