is 1) why they are holding Roots/Blackstar/etc accountable for their fan base. And 2) so they are distancing themselves from like-minded artists in favor of what?

What I think they need to realize about white fans of their music is that these are liberal minded people who in many ways feel the same way do about the corruption in the political system. And since there is no one else speaking on these issues as directly as they are then naturally these people are attracted to it. Why does having their support deflate DPz message? Don't see it, esp. since these same people are helping them eat.
