this is digital blackface and racist as fuck.

whomever is doing this knows Black people are THE Culture; so how swell it is to make money off Black culture without Black people?

and don't get me started with the fact that automata are proxies for SLAVES.

don't hesitate to call out Alphabet/Google/Youtube for making money off Black digital slaves.

this isn't progress. this is still baldfaced racism.

@blogdiva Yeah I was like, "What're the odds the people behind this _aren't_ white?" and I figure it's _not high_.
@moira @blogdiva Skin pigmentations have nothing to do with greed.

@kingmoth @blogdiva You have _absolutely no fucking idea what you are talking about_, and _absolutely no fucking clue about the history of the music industry in the US_, and the way I know that, for 100% sure, for absolute certain, as someone who has _been in that business as an artist_, is that you said what you just said.

The best thing you could possibly do for yourself is delete that before Liza sees it, walk away, and go do some reading about the history of the music industry in the US.

Because holy shit. Read up some and hopefully you'll come to understand how completely detached from historical reality your statement is.
