Black Faces in White Spaces: The Crossover of Christian and Country Music 55:00

il y a 3 years55:00

55:00

Music has long been said to be the "universal language" connecting all humans together. Historically, black musical artists always found greater success outside of black audiences. This trend continued and morphed into mainstream musical genres incorporating black R&B and hip-hop rhythms into their genres. Recently following a performance at a CMT event, R&B artist Monica responded to a commenter who stated that "Country music is different. It's not Wakanda." She performed and actor Anthony Mackie served as host. CCM artist Chandler Moore is being rebuked for denying his culture and race to appeal to whites. This begs to question whether whites are truly comfortable with blacks in their predominate spaces or if they are simply virtue signaling to seem non-racist.

The 2022 Oscars Awards telecast audience was left in shock after Will Smith calmly walked on stage and slapped Chris Rock after Rock made a poorly received joke about Will's wife Jada. Although Smith apologized in his acceptance speech, there were mixed reactions from celebrities and others regarding the incident. The one thing that was clear, is that violence against black men is something that seems to be a sanctioned action and profitable for some. What can we do to change the image of black men and do celebrities get a pass when it comes to negative behaviors that bring negative reflections to the communities they represent?

Revisiting a Conversation with Jeremiah Camara 1:15:00

il y a 4 years1:15:00

1:15:00

Staying along the vein of the church in black history, I decided to venture into the archives and share a conversation with author and filmmaker Jeremiah Camara from 2016. Jeremiah Camara is the director and producer of the documentary film Contradiction: A Question of Faith, which examines the saturation of churches in African American communities coexisting with poverty and powerlessness. Contradiction can be viewed on Amazon Prime Video. Camara is the author of the books Holy Lockdown: Does The Church Limit Black Progress? and The New Doubting Thomas: The Bible, Black Folks & Blind Belief. Camara is also the creator of the widely watched YouTube video series Slave Sermons… a mini-movie series addressing the harmful effects of religion. His latest and upcoming documentary project is titled, Holy Hierarchy: The Religious Roots of Racism in America. Holy Hierarchy… explains how the presumptions of a Supreme Being in colonial America led to precepts and beliefs in supreme human beings and how these beliefs morphed their way into the legal system and ultimately turned racism into an institution.
