Part 3 of the ReMix series discusses, at break-neck speed, the commodification of Blackness. Black bodies were used to sow the land of the free and lay the foundations for the home of the brave. Later, caricatures of these African captives were used to sell everything from stage shows to pancake syrup. On hundred years beyond the days of Great America, Gucci, Moncler and now Burberry have rediscovered the marketing power of The American Negro. Melancholy Jones counts the ways in which countries around the world and throughout time have built their wealth exploiting Africa and her children - the latest player being China. *played 1.25 speed*
