Get over it. Move on.

If the Cops Have to Come and Get You…

The “Nigga Moment.” It still fascinates me. But keep in mind I’m not so much taking a position on these sorts of racial issues, as just free-styling an historical and sociological background in which to evaluate them. The latest spinoff of the pop saga … Continue reading
