I Would Be Like MLK Except For What They Did To MLK


MLK being arrested for starting "race hustling".

I think this is referred to as "killing the messenger":

  One of the major challenges in talking about race in the post civil rights era is how many white folks, and some people of color, have internalized a color blind racial frame that limits and blinds our ability to deal with white supremacy as one of the dominant social facts in American life. We talk around race but do not explicitly engage it. In the most absurd examples, identifying and challenging white racism and white supremacy is taken to be more offensive than the moral and ethically unjust outcomes and processes that such ideologies sustain.


MLK arrested for good.

As a matter of fact, I'm sure "killing the messenger" is what it is,…

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.
