Jay-Z and the Pitfalls of Black Capitalism On the underappreciated radicalism of a hip-hop legend, and the danger of believing you can buy your way into a racist society’s elite.

As long as you promise to stand in front of β€œthe blacks” and stop opposing the police, and you remain a mascot for Trump supporter’s private school ventures, or give the mayor his walk out music, you will be humored. But you will never be free.

An important question though is: Why did you deflect and defend? In the middle of what you now admit is an unfolding genocide, why did you consider it your job to help the state committing the genocide evade the truth? What's wrong with you that you would do that? @jeremybenami.bsky.social

Even the head of J Street no longer dispute that this is genocide.

Britain is Losing its Free Speech, and America Could be Next From age and ID restrictions on the Internet, to charging rappers with β€œterrorism,” the U.K. is demolishing the most basic civil liberties. If we let them, U.S. leaders may be close behind.

From dictatorial β€œproscriptions” of protest groups, to anti-terrorism investigations of rap artists, to sweeping censorship of the Internet, Keir Starmer is taking a shredder to the concept of free speech itself, and with it all other civil liberties.
