If "Black music" was still like this, race relations would be vastly better -- Concept and performance videos: "Yah Mo B There."

NO RACE-BAITING OR GRIPES. Only solidarity and brotherhood. The '80s indeed represented the pinnacle of race relations: Artificial gaps closed and individuals were judged as individuals, yet without the destruction of order or heritage. "They" had joined "us." But that wasn't enough--reality wasn't acceptable--and we "progressed" into the current unnatural mess. (Our future HERE? And thus maybe HERE?)

CONCEPT VIDEO: (Today, the White girl in the video would have to come across for Black pursuers or be "racist.")


PERFORMANCE VIDEO: (I wonder how often McDonald is accused of "cultural appropriation" today.)
