MrBrau1-- Chuck D never called the President a racist on television, true. But he never had the forum to do so. Even at Public Enemy's biggest point, they weren't standing next to vanilla actors on Big Three telethons. Would Chuck D have called Bush a racist at the Katrina telethon if he'd had the chance? I don't doubt it.
I would hope, however, that he'd have planned his statement in advance instead of the nervous, spur-of-the-moment thing that Kanye appeared to do
Something I've noticed-- not just here, but on political forums as well-- is that people aren't disagreeing with what Kanye said. They disagree with his decision to do it on national television. Anyone care to shed some light on why this is?
For my part, I admire the stance he's taken against homophobia in mainstream rap, and I can't wait to see him in StL (and possibly in Omaha if we can make the drive). My group will not be booing.
