A few weeks ago, Kanye West announced that we shouldn’t be celebrating Black History Month in February, but rather Black Future Month instead. In the PSA formatted speech directed by Theophilus London, Ye explains gives us a think piece about where our mindsets should be now. He speaks about how Black’s have been treated in this country and what he envisions our future’s to be like. Throughout the speech, he takes a break to kick a few rhymes to drive home his sentiment.
“America is made to enslave us. What they ever gave us? We done proved, we done showed. It’s documented, now it’s cemented. Black Future, it’s time to invent it. If Ye said it, you know that he meant it. There’s no more Black History Month, every February reminding us that we just barely can vote. You shouldn’t have to be a tech genius, a basketball god, a musical wizard to be able to hold down your family.”
