High Society


Hendrix did so many drugs he'd never get old and he's celebrated.

I am NOT the only person talking about reparations, and that's a fact, so prepare to see it on the agenda soon:

America incarcerates more of its citizens than any country in the world, with a disproportionate number of those citizens being African American men.  This has created a crisis in the black community, where many of the children that Bolger would be supporting also have parents in prison right now.  The mass incarceration epidemic is nothing short of a socio-political holocaust that has served to obliterate the black family in America.

I recently spoke with Michelle Alexander, author of “The New Jim Crow,” who agrees with me that the War on Drugs and Mass Incarceration have been so devastating to the African American community that it is only logical to call for reparations.  In fact, we both find it extraordinary and ironic that white males are now earning billions of dollars from the sale of legalized marijuana, while black men are serving long prison sentences for possession of the same drug.



Not everyone can play.

Yeah, what's occurring around Colorado, and Washington state, has to look sinister - and uniquely racist - from a prison cell,...

The Crack Emcee
The Crack Emcee was born in Los Angeles. His mother had a thing with Jazz legend Charlie Mingus (producing a sister). Crack served in the Navy before settling into the Punk scenes of Los Angeles and San Francisco. He went on to join the Beatnigs (1988) Consolidated (1992) Broun Fellinis (1995) and then started his own band, Little White Radio (1998). The Crack Emcee has also been releasing a series of critically acclaimed solo mix tapes - starting with 1995's Newt Hates Me - that have solidified his reputation. This output morphed into his solo album, the anti-war Rap's Creation (2002) which was nominated for Album Of The Year (in, both, Rolling Stone and the Village Voice) and that year's list of Hip Hop's Best Anti-War Songs. Crack is listed (twice) as `an artist dedicated to integrity in Donnell Alexander's memoir, Ghetto Celebrity, and is featured on the CD, Just Payin' The Rent: The Amoeba Music Compilation, Vol. II.
