Kanye West has once again demonstrated his political acumen. He cites the realpolitik of staffing videos by race:
"If it wasn't for race-mixing there'd be no video girls," the rapper says in the January issue of Essence. "Me and most of our friends like mutts a lot. Yeah, in the hood they call 'em mutts."
Plenty of chatter about it here.
Chances are, that a good portion of hiphop will be conflated with black culture and blackfolks in general will be scapegoated by the idiocy of a few. Sauce for the goose, I suppose, considering all the jawjacking of the past week. Whitefolks can't stand blackfolks because blackfolks get a way with murder, and vice-versa. Can't we all just get along?
