I have mixed feelings about this. No one should be forced to endorse someone because the band leader said so. On the other hand since Chuck D. OWNS the name Public Enemy and is the band leader he can offer their service to play but if someone doesn’t want to participate, let them sit it out. I think stuff has been…

1. Not one knowledgeable hip-hop fan in the US has ever doubted that Chuck D was a deeply committed political activist. Particularly, the group’s hype man Flavor himself. Even his fluffiest songs, like Kool Thing, are deep in to liberation politics.

hmm..

Came here to point out #2 as well. I was hate-reading the article (as I already think Mark Wahlberg is insufferable), and somehow thought even lower of him once I saw the implication that something about girls makes it more inappropriate to hear explicit lyrics than if it had been boys.

Ah yes, the “old” rapper that did the whole bad boy bit in his underwear for the teenagers early in his career is now a devout Catholic and a prude. Would have been funny if it was one of his songs and the DJ asks “Well, did you record one?”

LOL, I just know that about now this article is making the rounds among the debate moderators & sponsors (CBS, CBC?). I just know it.

he still might. don’t underestimate thousands of millions of dollars.

Nobody was hurt, right? Oh well, his ass can afford all the cleanup crews.

Michael Mando’s acting in this episode was superb.

I get the impression that she’s casting a a wide net to get any settlement she can. I bet if the insurance company steps in, the pilots estate will become a non-issue.

You know what’s striking about this show? Every week there are, like, five different actors who could be the best part of an episode.

One fine morning...we overcame! Some women got some justice.

I get that Cardi B is not a favorite of the ungreyed commentariat here...and I even understand why from a strictly principled standpoint...

The cruelty that children of color meet in schools is well known to me. Children being cruel, especially racist kids (often due to racist parents), is torture for the victimized kids but kids are more or less unaware of the full nature of their evil. But adults...
