The 'Tanning of America' is one explanation for the current changes in the culture industry with reference to race and the fact of blackness. Which of the following is NOT part of the 'Tanning of America' argument? A- The culture industry has profoundly degraded our understanding of what passes for a political act. i.e. we equate Beyonce's 'political stand' at the Superbowl with the protests of olympic and professional athletes Smith, Carlos and Kaepernick. B- There is a less politically charged environment due to cross over markets as White consumers now consume traditionally Black cultural content (e.g. hip-hop), and Black consumers consume the markers of White privilege (e.g. Tommy Hilfiger) C- Today, there is a more respectful climate in talking about race in America D- The mass media are way more progressive today than in the 1960s
