Public Enemy at Coachella 2009: Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos

[mikebythesun]

I was one of those white kids who got into PE back in the 80s and I have to say I wouldn't be the person I am now without Nation... and Black Planet. PE was my first real intro to identity politics, and it helped me understand a culture that I otherwise wouldn't have. Can't agree with everything they say, but then again, I can't agree with everything my parents say either. Though their message was aimed at their own community, they had an impact on millions of white kids in a positive way.

@mikebythesun Well, it takes a big person to tell the truth and you get mad points for keeping it real! I got into Public Enemy when I was in college and Chunk D was the one who got me into more of my African Ancestory, and mainly showed me that its all about TRUE knowledge of self!

This makes me sad. PE preachin' their best militant chit to a bunch of white folks. Oh and I'm white. lol

@bkwebb2 - As long as those white folks in crowd are down with the cause - I have no problem with it.

@Grooveraider I agree. Where would the civil rights movement be if there were no brave white people down with the cause???

[AnansieDeSpider]

@bkwebb2 Doesn't that mean they've made progress?
