first off, can we exclude hip hop from this? nothing good or interesting is going to come of it being here, and i doubt seriously that timalkin knows anything to speak of about the form, otherwise it would have been brought up in the way it was.
secondly, if the problem is institutional or structural racism, then the response from timalkin has to address that point. otherwise, ain't nothing happening.
i'm fading in here because this is the place the last thread ground to a halt over. if there's to be anything different here---which i doubt will happen---then this is the way to go. demonstrate that structural or institutional racism has been eliminated. it is self-evident that this cannot be done without some sort of shuck and jive, which will no doubt turn on an attempt to "misunderstand" what's being discussed.
