"There's Better Voices Than Charlamagne and Amanda Seales"
God bless them for speaking up and being voices, but...
Know how you look at Diddy kind of weird for his Captain Social Justice shift? Again, God bless him. Career opportunist Jay Z turning his lens towards justice is cool too, but...
Know how Future's Superfly soundtrack isn't even in the same category as Curtis'?
I feel like if Black people want to actually progress, we don't give the big platforms to the people who simply shifted their brands. Unless Charlamagne or Amanda can pull up pics of them getting tear gas milked from their face or where the batons beat them - we're getting the Future Superfly soundtrack of modern social justice mouthpieces. I don't see every picture, but I don't see them at marches and walking the walk and talking the talk should be equally represented.
Charlamagne ain't James Baldwin and Amanda ain't Nikki Giovanni, but they're getting the calls to be the new talking heads.
They're getting the mics without doing the hard work. Again, God bless them for speaking up, but if I see Joe Budden on CNN, you may as well put a kardashian up there.
