From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Storey writes that all culture is inherently political,[1] and Black popular culture is no exception to this, ever since the Civil Rights Era, black popular culture has been significantly influenced by politics. Donald Bogle even went as far as saying that during the Civil Rights Era it was near impossible to to differentiate between politics and aesthetics.[2]

Afrofuturism in the twenty-first century is longer bound to its its original definition, a term once dealing with cultural aesthetics has come to be known as less of an aesthetic and more of a philosophy of science and the universe. [3]
