"We gon talk about this new Macklemore song, White Privilege II?"


  

          

We don't have to. But we could.

I think it's a mess as a song. Not something I could picture myself listening to for any reason except to analyze it. But I applaud him for making this song (again). And for putting it up for free on itunes. He's gonna (and has been) attacked from all sides for making this... folks questions his intentions (he even does that in the song). But on the real, as fucked up as it is -- lots of white people don't listen to us when we speak, but when another white person does -- they're much more apt to listen. So the shit ain't groundbreaking, but it's kind of an example of white privilege being used in the right way.
