Brother’s Gonna Work It Out

Surely I am not the only one who wants to prod and taunt the fear mongers?  The Obama’s a Scary! Black!! Muslim!!! Socialist!!!! crowd have been so ridiculous on their face that it’s never really moved me to engage them.  It’s like arguing with a moon-landing conspiracy theorist.  The only value in engaging with them is going to be entertainment value.  But it’s kind of mean spirited, so you really ought not to.   So I’ll just allow myself this 1990 effort from Public Enemy (putting aside more tempting tracks from Paris or X-Clan):

Some of you may remember the context of this video.  Virginia Beach, 1989.  Tis a long way between there and here.
