16. It's been so precious watching Bernie supporters in GDP learn about black people

First they learned about police brutality because of BLM, and once they finally stopped shitting on that cause non-stop using the kind of racist, hateful invective you'd expect to hear from Trump supporters, hopefully they actually learned something.

Then the learned about rap because of Killer Mike, and now they get to learn about stepping. And the renewed interest in the March on Washington and Martin Luther King Jr. has been profound.

Even though black folks have been intimately and often painfully acquainted with every single one of these things for 100 years -- well, except even the vast majority of true hip hop heads had never heard of Killer Mike -- it's so great to see the interest that's come towards our community. Yeah, 90% of this new found interest is in service to promoting the candidacy of Bernie Sanders but it's still so incredibly heart warming and precious nonetheless.

Don'tchathink??? The repeated posting of Youtube videos of black people, no matter how rambling and incoherent, is just an obvious extension of this newfound passion in our perspectives (as long as it's the RIGHT perspective, of course).
