THE KING TALKS ELVIS PRESLEY

Ray Charles took a deep sigh before breaking it down when Bob Costas asked him about Elvis. Charles explained that the only reason Elvis was considered so great was because he was white and took what Black people were doing. When Nat King Cole was having women swoon over his looks and talent, that was a problem for racist America. So, they got a white boy, Elvis, and put him front and center with Black songs and Black dance moves in a genre created by Black people. White people have always stolen our intellectual property and culture, a strong habit they’ve had since the time of slavery. There is an unfathomable amount of wealth created by Black people through inventions, recipes (e.g. Jack Daniels), business ideas, and musical creations that is now in white hands. When you add to that our aesthetic, style, and culture that has been stolen and then monetized the numbers soar higher. White people have always loved and wanted everything about us while hating us and working to oppress us. We need to work to own and monetize every invention that arises from our people. We don’t mean a pure commodification of art, but inasmuch that art, fashion, culture, style, and inventions generate wealth, and they definitely do, we must make sure that the wealth generated stays in the Black community.
