Nah. I appreciate the rigor and deep understanding that you provide with your comment. However the author, me, is actually Jamaican American with expertise in Black migrations particularly within the western hemisphere and the multilingual circum-Caribbean and Caribbean. See my other pieces "Undocumented and Black" and "Beyonce (TM) is not Black, she is OJ".

Using the imagery of Black America (particularly Black Excellence and Black celebrity via mainstream hip hop) for capitalist gain is problematic period. Problematic for Black people within the United States and Black people globally. People who sell "Black Americanness" via these narratives and imagery and the global trillion dollars companies they represent are the problem, NOT Black people in the United. Black people in the US and around the world are targetted by companies like Disney to be consumer of their products. This is critique of Capitalism and Celebrity from a Black diasporic perspective and that is my positioning.
