NICE article mike!
i never really took time to understand the whole "nigger" controversy, its simply all a big BLUR to me..ain't nothing gonna permanently delete that word from people's vocab or history thats just how i see it.
as for that cover...well as he said it does speak for itself
in a way i feel that an image can have a far greater impact on listeners than a mere "word" can, nothing else compares.
good stufff!
