A place to say, “look, I listen to black artists.” This section of the board has dozens (hundreds?) of threads for all sorts of white artists, both prominent and incredibly niche, but there are surprisingly few threads for black artists.
Someone else brought up the comparison to “Black History Month,” which is actually a great metaphor because it comes with its own complications (
https://www.mcall.com/opinion/mc-opi...outputType=amp). The argument boils down to “if we have one month set aside to study black history, we can ignore it for the rest of the year.”
If we agree that this board should be celebrating more diverse music, then we should be doing that with designated threads of the artists we want to talk about. If someone’s favorite musician is Nina Simone or favorite band is Living Colour, then make a post that puts them on the landing page. Make those artists visible.
