“I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.” - Harriet Tubman

One of the more basic reasons for not voting for the GOP this November: Their protection of the sickeningly bloated, Cold War-era defence budget.
This must be historic, I don’t believe Nardwuar has ever interviewed someone more than twice in his career. So for this to happen a third time and to one of my favorite guys Curren$y is pretty dope. Must be a run up to his latest release . One of the running issues in this series has been Nardwuar’s mic handling and Curren$y goes right in on it.

The Real Black Heritage
George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower (ca. 1780-1860) was an Afro-Polish classical violinist and composer. He was a child prodigy and made his debut in Paris around age 9 and that same year would perform in 3 cities in England, one of which King George III attended and praised Bridgetower’s skills. At age 11 the Prince of Wales placed him under his patronage and further educated Bridgetower; he would serve as the prince’s orchestra’s first violinist for 14 years and performed in many concert tours all around Europe. During an 1803 concert tour he would meet Beethoven, who was highly impressed by his playing and came to admire him greatly. Bridgetower and Beethoven would soon perform together, and Beethoven originally dedicated his Violin Sonata No. 9 to Bridgetower. In 1811, he graduated from Cambridge with a Bachelor of Music degree and would join several music societies including the Royal Philharmonic Society.
Lee Atwater, a head republican strategist, in an anonymous interview in 1981. He is admitting that republicans use coded-language to appeal to the racists in their base. Because, as he always said, “people vote their fears.”
Lee, who would eventually become the head of the Republican National Committee, helped Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush win their Presidential elections by teaching them to use overtly-racist tactics.
When the N-word became taboo, Republicans began referring to black people in less-direct ways, with terms like “welfare queens.” They learned how to say the N-word, without saying the N-word.
Sadly, this still continues today. As seen in Newt Gingrich’s claim that Obama is a “food stamp President” and Rick Santorum’s assertion that he doesn’t “want to make black people’s lives better by giving them someone else’s money.”
