You're basically saying black people are over-represented in money-garnering trends, a bold statement to back up just by anecdata.



Do we need a citation that oil is a valuable commodity? Or that the internet has been useful for commerce?

I think it's self-evident that hip hop is at least a trillion dollar phenomenon and that it started with black folks in the United States.


The fact that hip-hop originated from the black community and got big (you might want to read on how exactly it got big) doesn't really translate to a marketing/talent scouting strategy going forward. You could shoehorn K-Pop like that too, quick somebody buy Kakaotalk for a ridiculous amount!
