yanno, this discussion about people who are famous to black folks who white folks don't know got me thinking a little. because, yanno, i'm the guy who talks about race all the time.
and i do talk about race a lot. at least relatively speaking. but i *really* like talking about race when it's silly stuff like this. because it's these discussions, really, that illuminate how absurd the notion of race is. and i find absurdity to be hilarious.
think about it...i'm not hearing from many of them today, but i would hypothesize there are many, many people who see this discussion and see the words "white" and "black" and immediately get uncomfortable.

like, this ain't even no real sh t or anything to be guilty about.
this is largely trivial, but even in this trivial way, this is the stuff that can bring some folks together. i bet a few of you just found out that donny hathaway got some jams. you're better for it.
racism is killing us all -- and i mean *all*, no matter your face -- in one way or another, but whew, there's so many good jokes along the way. the least we can do is enjoy those. it's really all we get out of it.
