I used to watch the Grammys to see my favorite artists perform and be celebrated. Now I watch because I have no idea what’s going on in music and need to get caught up to speed. Whew chile, the ghetto.
Today, let us remember Martin Luther King as he was: A Black radical anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, revolutionary Christian internationalist who was deemed an enemy of the State and assassinated for his radical work. Just about everything else is a lie.
