THE SOUND OF RACISM

"Symphony of Suffering: When American Danced to Our Chains"

The Sinister Soundtrack of Racist Sheet Music and the Profitable Mockery of Black Humanity.

This title doesn't tiptoe- it marches in with boots. It tells the reader upfront  this isn't about nostalgia. It's about how music was weaponized to humiliate, degrade, and erase. Every word? A loaded drum. Every cover? A Coded  insult. Every song? A step in  the choreography of white supremacy. And with the poem " The Devil's Sheet Music: A Symphony of Chains" as the closer, the message will echo long after the chapter ends.

Before radios filled living rooms and television flickered on, there was sheet music- bright, shiny, and sold on every street corner. But beneath the  pretty covers and clever tunes lay something rotten. A cultural assault  dressed as entertainment. This chapter unearths the forgotten soundscape of racist sheet music- a relentless campaign that mocked, belittled, and  dehumanized Black people, one catchy tune at a time.
