Footprints · (#1 (**permalink**))

Is the Creative Industry Erasingevidence andcontributions by Black people? Take for instance, Black designer,Ozwald Boateng'sInternational & successfullabelOZ, wasrecently kicked out of Debenhams Department Store, in favour of less experienced white designers.Why are talented Black creatives kicked to the Curb? I recently heard about a blackteenage boywho got severly beaten by a gang of white boys for saying Beethoven had black roots. Uhmmm! these days Mary Seacole seems to be potrayed whiter in her paintings. Alexander Pushkin, some still strongly insist he was a white Russian. Historical records, along with archeological, anthropological and biogentic evidence confirm that Black people are the mothers and fathers of humanity. HAVE WE BROUGHT IT UPON OURSELVES?

Yes.

Now go and ask all them black people that are assimilating and integrating if they care. They most probably won't so they'll continue to bring it 'upon ourselves'.

When they realise that trying to fit the white mold will kill us and that we need to do for ourselves from the ground/root up then we may finally begin to change our condition.
