As a supplement to this, I would recommend the documentary series "Hip Hop evolution" on Netflix.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip-Hop_Evolution

I found it not just incredibly interesting and entertaining, but I believe it gives one a much higher resolution perspective on the complexity of the culture and experiences of African Americans, as well as the incredible skill and devotion to the craft so many people have.

I have a hunch that the simplistic (and highly speculative) nature of the public discussion on race and a whole bunch of other topics is probably one of the biggest reasons we never make progress on things that seem like they should be easy.
