I didn’t blame “white people” for anything, but I’m curious why you think only black artists should be the ones to care about “these things”?

Protest songs aren’t in vogue right now, although they should be. Only country music seems to be protesting, and they’re protesting against their fellow citizens, which is fucked up.

But did you not see how many white people were in the Black Lives Matter protests? I was in one myself, here in my town, donated to the cause. That doesn’t make me any better than anybody else, just sayin, I talk the talk and walk the walk.

I just find it strange that black artists aren’t writing about these things. There are some pretty soulful and influential black musicians and celebrities out there, but all that any of them (black or white) seem to be interested in is keeping their head down so they can make money hand over fist, which most of them don’t even do any good with. So many of them are afraid of being “cancelled,” that they just don’t speak up. I say to them just like the Kent State sudents said “They can’t cancel us all.” If all artists rise up together, they have much more power than the idiots that run their careers.
