If, over these last few days, you have been able to stand up and be an ally for black people in one way or another, yet you consciously or subconsciously, choose NOT to stand up for black people - the creators of the culture you and I are both guests in - DO NOT ask me to post your music here, or to review your music, 'hook you up', follow back, etc etc etc.
This is not a subliminal diss, it’s not intended to this person or that person.
White beatmakers, hip hop artists, bloggers, et al, look in the mirror and ask yourself what you could have done over the last few days whilst the world has watched this terror.
So, if you know in your heart that you chose NOT to do things such as:
sign / share petitions,
check in on black friends,
didn't tweet / post something that a racist family member would make you feel uncomfortable about sharing for a few moments,

help with an anti-racist / black empowerment network in your area,
help with an anti-racist / black empowerment network at your day job etc,
Please DO NOT waste your time asking me to post your music, link to your blog etc, or share my platform here with you, so you can talk about 'the culture', when it's convenient / 'safer' for you to do so.
