\n\tNoname<\/a> is calling for action against white corporations that bleed the culture dry \u2014 and she\u2019s asking Black artists to gatekeep. <\/p>\n

\n\tOn Thursday (Jan. 19), the Chicago poet<\/a> took to Instagram, posting a lengthy challenge to her Black contemporaries. She pleaded with the culture to stand against those who have taken advantage of Black art in the name of capitalism.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOne of the biggest mistakes I believe we\u2019ve made in our struggle towards liberation in this country is allowing white America unfiltered access to our entire culture. White America has created an institution of violent policing and medical neglect that is killing us EVERY F**KING DAY,\u201d she declared.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnd every day we get on their platforms (Tik Tok, Twitter, etc.), and we create trends, music, art, and language that they turn into billions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe demanded that Black artists understand the power of their art and why white capitalist consumption has sullied its authenticity.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rapper, n\u00e9e Fatimah Nyeema Warner, then compared Hip-Hop\u2019s life to that of Blues. Noname suggests that both originated from Black pain and then were slowly co-opted by white dollars. Warner, 31, then expressed that she understands that people need to \u201csurvive under capitalism,\u201d but if Black artists united against a common threat, they could create change.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDo yall never think,\u201d the radical activist began<\/a>. \u201cMaybe white people don\u2019t organize to end economic\/racist exploitation that black people face simply because they love consuming the art we make out of survival.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs black artists making black art, we have a responsibility to our community and to our culture. I understand needing to survive under capitalism but there is power in collective action! What would it look like if we all said, unless festivals, streaming, social media puts 10% of their profits into a black community fund we use to house and feed people, we will no longer contribute our content.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tConcluding her critique of Black culture, the \u201cDiddy Bop\u201d emcee expressed that she is set to play Coachella 2023. However, she explained that she was performing because she \u201cneeds the bread\u201d<\/a> in this capitalist society.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m about to play coachella because I need the bread,\u201d she explained. \u201cTrust, i\u2019m not above anybody but if there was a collective boycott where ALL black artists refuse to share our work unless we see radical change in our conditions, I would immediately do that sh*t.\u201d<\/p>\n
