I remember when the Black community in Bensonhurst was throwing tapes & CD's of 2 Live Crew, NWA & Ice T's record in the streets and bulldozing over them. I remember this little old Black lady saying "I will never be called a female dog!!!" & this is what put parental warnings on CD's. But when you research it.... it reads as if the warning labels are from some uptight Christian politician's wife who was just trying to censor music because of heavy metal and Satanism. I saw and heard with my own eyes as a kid growing up in NYC... the Black community stand up for real morals and values. And the Matrix stole that narrative. That's the real racism in this country. They want white people and black people to see the parental label and picture a racist white lady. They don't want you to see that sticker and think of real Black American conservative values. That's why Flava Flave is a star and no one knows Chuck D. It's why Diddy has the key to the city but KRS-ONE freestyles on podcasts. It's why Queen Latifah introduced gay underground ballroom culture in 1988's "come into my house" But gay Black youth are made to give credit and worship Madonna for stealing it and dropping Vogue in 1990. Who would be a better role model for young black gay teens back then??? A pro black 20yo lesbian or a 35yo satanic white b*tch??? You can't tell me there isn't an agenda. Yes there's racism but not from me. The calls are coming from inside the house!!!! Not mine
Even as a little white boy in middle school, I always thought she was pretty. Rakim, Kane, Ice T were so much more appealing than the awful hair bands of the time (Motley Cru types).
In the Spike Lee film Bamboozled, I think the Mau Mau's were in part based off of X-Clan. Charli Baltimore was the female member of the Mau Mau's and I think the character she played was based on Isis.
