Rules:
1. Use proper title format
Do not make up post tags. New releases should be tagged [FRESH], [FRESH ALBUM] (or MIXTAPE) or [FRESH VIDEO] only. [FRESH] tags should only be applied to official music & music videos, not leaks, interviews, articles, art, live footage, etc. [SHOTS FIRED] should only be used for legitimate beef, not jokes or competition among artists.
Song posts must follow the 'Artist - Title (Description)' format with 80 character or less descriptions. Hashtagged keywords & emojis in titles are not allowed.

Preach. I remember watching some documentary about the maternal mortality rates and it's literally down to doctors and nurses just not giving black women the same care and attention as white women and this isn't just in America or the UK, it's worldwide.
And it saddens me that as time goes on, the record labels only promote money and sex rap, so there's no avenue for young children to learn via music that they need to know stuff like this.
I think like anything, it is up to the parents to educate their children. I don't blame the record labels because they promote what makes them the most money and I expect nothing better from them. The best we can do is make sure that the children in our lives know, so that if one day they end up in a position to help make a change, they can. And of course, to share articles like you did, so people who may not have anybody in their life to tell them about this stuff can learn.
