Hey, White People: I Think I've Found 1 Of Your Histories


The Beautiful People.

We exist under centuries of delusional thinking crafting our world:


The term Caucasian race had,…been coined by the German philosopher Christoph Meiners, the application of craniometry and other anthropometric studies by Blumenbach had given the idea a certain scientific credence.


Meiners had coined the term Caucasian (or Caucasoid) from the Caucasus in Eastern Europe, from where he believed "the most beautiful race of men" - white fellas - had originated. The aesthetics of race seemed to interest him more than anything else, and he was particularly gushing about Georgians for some reason, while considering black people ugly and inferior.


The two halves of my horrible heart.

That last part of that quote, I kinda figured out on my own,...

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.
