Wolf's eye view on Michael Jackson

[Wolf sound <wolfsound...>]

Michael Jackson is NOT a racist...but

I at least believe he isn't. What does make his most recent anti-semitic
lyrics even more alarming to me is just that fact. Filtering down from the
media/hate machine are the sound bytes of fashion - the fashion of
anti-semitism. After all, if Public Enemy spits out a hot rap about the
"Rab on the rag," well certainly, it would be tres cool for Michael to
drop some "kike" flavors on his vinyl. Isolated from much of the world,
Michael probably scanned today's "hip" lyrical lexicon and selected his
choices from the category that divides dangerous and cool. Why not - name
a landmark "hip" artist who isn't straddling that fence today or at some
other pivotal time in his career. Frankly, that's where the money is. What
we have here in Michael's case is copy and paste racism, couched in hip,
being served up as a subliminal cocktail to the masses. Innocently, I
agree - but that's what frightens me most.
