I posted this pic earlier....Yo
Whitehall Street, Atlanta, 1864. This photo of a black Union soldier posted at a slave auction house in Atlanta is one of hundreds taken by George N. Barnard during Gen. Sherman's occupation of the city in the fall of 1864. Many were destroyed in the conflagration that erupted upon Sherman's firing of Confederate munitions stores when he departed on Nov. 15.
The closest I could find were discussions through the Slave narratives, where Slaves were loaned to other properties during the holidays, in order to help with crops and child rearing, where they stole the breast milk from female slaves, forcibly, to feed white children, then lending out supposedly healthy Black male slaves in order to create, breed with other female slaves on other properties as well. This was done on holidays, done as a gift.

No, it is simply poorly worded. It's intent may be questioned, but it is undeniable that African Slaves in America were auctioned during holiday seasons, then were loaned out in order to help other struggling plantations.

These Overlooked Black Women Shaped Malcolm X's Life
The anniversary of the Feb. 21, 1965, assassination of Malcolm X was surrounded by a renewed wave of interest in the black nationalist leader’s life and death — particularly with the release of the recent Netflix series Who Killed Malcolm X? and the subsequent news that the Manhattan District Attorney will review the investigation of his death.
But while the Netflix series attempts to provide a broad overview of his life, political activism and relationship with Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam (NOI), it is missing a deep discussion of the many women who shaped Malcolm X’s political ideas and trajectory. At this moment heading out of Black History Month and into Women’s History Month, it’s worth noting that, in giving short shrift to those key individuals, the series is not alone.

Busic genre is based on your racial background. "blond" isn't an r&b album, twigs has never made an r&b record "LP1" was her closest to sounding like r&b. If she wasn't black, ppl would labeling her **** electronic or some experimental/art pop ****. If you can sit there and say "Blinding Lights" is an r&b album then you're a ******* racist, or at the very least bigot.
They put those labels on artist & specifically Black artist to stifle their growth & prevent from entering certain rooms.

One Black employee said her manager suggested in front of colleagues that she was dealing drugs and carrying a gun, trading on racist stereotypes. Another said a co-worker at a recruiting meeting broadly described Black employees as less capable. Still another said managers spoke down to her and her Black colleagues, adding that they were passed over for promotions in favor of less experienced white employees. The accumulation of incidents, they said, led to the wave of departures.

How 'Race Records' Turned Black Music Into Big Business
In 1926, a self-taught musician named Big Bill Broonzy found his way to Chicago. A sharecropper turned soldier, he had left Mississippi and headed north to escape the pervasive racism of the Jim Crow South along with thousands of others of African-Americans in the Great Migration. Like many other black men, he worked as a janitor and a Pullman porter and a cook. But when he found himself in front of a microphone in a recording studio, the blues musician knew he had found his niche.
Broonzy’s recordings were sold as “race records”—music for and by black audiences. But though he recorded hundreds of songs in just a decade, responding to a national hunger for black voices and black music, he barely made any money. “I didn’t get no royalties, because I didn’t know nothing about trying to demand for no money, see,” he told Alan Lomax in 1947.

The recordings, which became a national phenomenon, captured artists like Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong—but most artists were exploited and forgotten.

Whenever it comes down to money and white people, you know exactly which way they are going to lean while in the face of dishonesty.One Black employee said her manager suggested in front of colleagues that she was dealing drugs and carrying a gun, trading on racist stereotypes.

"Major" label's in the 50's to early 60's wouldn't even put the faces of Black artist on their own album covers solely b/c they were black. Their reasoning for it being "marketing" is a crock of **** b/c whites were indeed buying "race records" which were primarily marketed towards black audiences.How 'Race Records' Turned Black Music Into Big Business

They grossly undervalue, undermine, exploit black artist, & hate when the exceptions like Prince slip through & make it hard for them to box in. These people are ******* evil & they know what they're doing. Ariana Grande makes r&b, but she's white so it's pop.

I had a great conversation about all of this with Max Roach a year before he passed. As you know, he was instrumental in regard to Bop in Jazz, played with Miles, Clifford Brown, and was a master drummer, musician in his own right. He early on protested such methods back in the forties and fifties."Major" label's in the 50's to early 60's wouldn't even put the faces of Black artist on their own album covers solely b/c they were black.

Tyler Perry Studios Feeds 5,000 Families As Thanksgiving Approaches
Atlanta, GA — Tyler Perry is once again giving back to his community of Atlanta, Georgia. He has organized a food giveaway through his film production company, Tyler Perry Studios.
During the event, volunteers in protective equipment distributed non-perishable food items and gift cards to up to 5,000 local families in need.
“First come, first serve of 5,000 families while supplies last. Although we wish that we could feed everyone in need we will close the line at the 5,000th family,” the event poster reads.
The event, which took place outside the Tyler Perry Studios headquarters, caused heavy traffic in the area as cars fell in line that stretched for about 5 miles.
Perry himself was once homeless before becoming a billionaire. This year, he follow through with several charitable deeds such as giving $21,000 in tips to workers at one of his favorite restaurants and paying for the groceries of senior citizens in Atlanta.

As person, who’s black and used to sign, I never knew they had a BASL.
I’ll be damn. They didn’t teach me this.
