Source: Mike Lawrie / Getty Solange Knowles displays her blackness loudly and proudly. As the younger sis of Beyonce, Solange has found an identity all her own and that identity is dipping unapologetic blackness. So what did Solange do to remind us she is Black AF? A lot of things! First, let’s get into the fact that instead of dropping new promo photos and videos on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook like the average uncultured artist, Solange put her money where her Black is and dusted off her Black Planet page. What better way to let the world know that you’re about to come out the gate swinging than reminding them of the first and most culturally important social media platform for African Americans. find me on black planet !! https://t.co/HUFJxjhtuY black planet 4 evaaa pic.twitter.com/5XgucUBPXC — solange knowles (@solangeknowles) February 26, 2019 Let’s talk about why this is major. So many African American millennials were introduced to social media by way of Black Planet. Black Planet offered you the ability to customize your profile with background wallpapers, music, etc using HTML and C++ (way before Myspace), it provided a guest book where your friends could leave comments, it told you when your homies were online and it allowed for you to connect and meet people within your city with a simple click of a button. Anybody who was anybody had a Black Planet page. Now, it appears Solange is cooking up something for a new album and although she could have promoted it on any platform in the world, she chose the blackest platform there ever was — Black Planet.   Hit the flip to see more ways Solange has been moving the needle with her Black pride.

Will You Be Watching? BET Is Revoking Black Cards January 18

Posted on January 17, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

(Karen Ballard/BET) BOSSIP Hit The Scene For BET’s New Show ‘Black Card Revoked.’ Have you ever joked around with your friends and they told you your Black Card has been revoked? What if we told you it’s not just a phrase but a card game that people play? Now, thanks to BET, it’s also a show. The new game show which is hosted by comedic actor Tony Rock, premieres on BET January 18th. The show is also Executive Produced by David A. Hurwitz. The 30 minute, 12 episode season was shot in Los Angeles and Bossip hit the scene to see the season finale in action. ( Karen Ballard/BET) “I’ll come back and host as long as the show is around,” Tony Rock told BOSSIP. “It’s a great show and I know people are going to enjoy it.” (Karen Ballard/BET) When BOSSIP visited, Blac Chyna, DeRay Davis and LeToya Luckett were on set to test their blackness. They each had a contestant on their team who had the chance to win up to $10,000. The audience voted by a round of applause and there was only one person who got to keep their black card. Though we can’t tell you who won, we can tell you it was hilariously black. The show has 3 rounds of trivia that is pulled from the card game and real-life surveys. It’s a blended, fun mix of pop culture, politics, historic facts and entertainment. If you think you have what it takes to keep your black card, tune into BET every Thursday at 10/9c.

Fight The Power: Public Enemy Not Feeling The Academy’s Use Of Their Protest Song At The Oscar

Posted on March 1, 2016 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Anyone else digging the #FightThePower jam playing during the #Oscars credits? pic.twitter.com/rpUFTt72UV — SheKnows (@SheKnows) February 29, 2016 Public Enemy Sounds Off On The Use Of “Fight The Power” At The Oscars According to TMZ , Public Enemy isn’t too keen on The Academy using their legendary protest song “Fight The Power” as Chris Rock’s intro music . Group member Professor Griff tells us he thinks the Academy was just paying lip service to black protesters and will go right back to business as usual. Griff says Public Enemy is all about change — radical change — and the Academy’s efforts fly in the face of that. He adds, “The show can’t claim the blackness of Public Enemy’s message.” Chuck D also weighed in with a series of tweets, but he doesn’t seem as upset about it as Griff #EverybodyDoesntHateChris pic.twitter.com/gKTyuoABIM — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 He did add however… The song FightThe Power is beyond me & the crew.The point of the song is a call to making change eventually not just applauding the thought — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 I dont wanna hear about Oscars being white. Oscar been white. We have need black communities to support our ARTS as much as we do sports IMO — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 We protested the grammies in 1989 because they HAD zero catagory for the genre. A 10 yr music at the time. It was for the entire artform-duh — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 Art speaking. Fight The Power. Make change.Demand respect. Do your own awards RIGHT & give indie artists & actors a chance to make a LIVING — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 People spend more time talkin about StacyDash while NOT even knowing who JulieDash IS when they can look her up in their attached phones-smh — Chuck D (@MrChuckD) February 29, 2016 Sadly, Public Enemy doesn’t even own the rights to license their song, so there’s nothing they can really do about it anyway.

Watch A Teenaged Tiger Woods Talk About The Racism He Faced In The Gold World [Video]

Posted on October 31, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A Never-Before-Seen Interview Of 14-Year-Old Tiger Woods Talking About Racism In Golf A young Tiger Woods could not help but recognize that he was a black man in a white man’s world when it came to the golf course. Back in 1990 he spoke to Trans World Sports about what its like to be a person of color in such an overwhelmingly caucasian sport. “Every time I go to a major country club I can always feel it. Always sense it. People always staring at me. ‘What are you doing here? You shouldn’t be here,’” Woods said. We’ve taken the liberty of starting the video where the race talk begins, feel free to rewind and watch the entire interview. So Tiger DID used to claim his blackness. Interesting… Image via YouTube

#NewBlacks: African-American Celebrities Who Believe They Are Beyond Their Burden Of Blackness

Posted on August 19, 2014 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Are you a #NewBlack ? African American Celebrities Who Think They Are New Black It must be nice to live in this bleak world rocking designer rose-colored sunglasses because race doesn’t seem to exist. Pharrell Williams recently defined the phenomenon of being a Black person who is able to live beyond their own skin color: “A ‘new black’ is someone who doesn’t blame other races for our issues. The ‘new black’ dreams and realizes that it’s not a pigmentation; it’s a mentality. And it’s either going to work for you, or it’s going to work against you. And you’ve got to pick the side you’re gonna be on.” Oh. Too bad racial profiling, structural racism and bigots don’t give a mighty morphing fawk if you consider yourself a “pre-owned black” or “new black.” Hit the flip to check out some African American celebrities who believe their Blackness ceases to exist just because they are famous, wealthy or live in their own little unicorn and rainbow filled race-free bubble….
