OPEN LETTER TO BLACK PEOPLE
Please save the Soul Train Awards.
I know it got cancelled. I know none of the young people care anymore, but I remember watching Natalie Cole peform hits like, "Pink Cadillac" and Alexander O' Neal prance around to the Detroit Hustle classic, "Fake".
Although I was young and had a head full of knockers (those round plastic elastic jump offs) and twists, I really liked those songs. Soul Train was the only outlet that allowed Black performers to be well culturally true to their word.
Guess this is what happens when people forget the cultural relevance of history.
After all, it's what kept Black history alive. Looks like Black History is losing its lustre in the eyes of the Sidekick Clique (Generation Y R U wearing tights as pants). ¶ 2:41 PM
