Asher Roth and the Racial Crossroads

May 8, 2009


A commentary that was supposed to be about Asher Roth but turned into an extended tangent about race in America.

I had a million other things I wanted to say so I'll try and follow up soon, cuz even though I know the Asher story is old I think the underlying issues run deep.

I recorded conversations with Dan Charnas and Amanda Diva that were a big part of my thought process for this one but couldn't work them into this vid.. will definitely get some of that footage up later.
