The Organizer has revealed his summer playlist, and there isn’t much diversity in it. It’s very black:
- Chance the Rapper
- Common
- Janelle Monae
- Nas
- Nina Simone
- Jidenna
- Janet Jackson
- D’Angelo
- Mary J. Blige
- Aretha Franklin
- Billie Holiday
- Gary Clark Jr.
- Charles Mingus
- Etc…
… with the Beach Boys thrown in as the token white group.
What are we to conclude?
