By the Time I get to Arizona
I think Barack Obama played the whole Rev. Wright thing slightly wrong. I don't think he should have disowned him. No, he should have gone hard in the other direction. Maybe it's just me, but I think black folks should be mad at white folks in this country.
Now, bear in mind, I have been friends with 5%ers (Who, it must be said, I still think are a little loco)at the same time as a racist was my governor. Bear in mind I've been a minority, first in east Los Angeles, and then, in the Middle East. Bear in mind, I still think Public Enemy were one of the greatest Rock bands of the past quarter century (Yes, I said "Rock". Certainly, they were Hip Hop, but 4/4 time, plus screaming guitars, plus passion equals rock in my mind). So, maybe I'm not thinking entirely correctly, but whatever my race happens to be, if I had the same history as many black men have in this country? I'd be fairly angry with White men. Maybe, if America thinks it's ready for a Black President, then, it's also ready to redress righteous black Anger, as well.
