A Rap Flap Amid Anti-Semitism Charges
Public Enemy encourages black youths like me (I’m 17) to learn about their history. They teach black kids about their leaders, Minister Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and Malcolm X--something the public school system does not do.
As a senior project, I wrote a history of rap music. I interviewed Chuck D of Public Enemy. He is a great person, and black youths need him.
All races need to listen to Public Enemy. They are showing other races how blacks feel.
