Is it "Black America Again" or "Black Again, America"?

 

[Piff Perkins]

Wonder what the production list looks like.

[Pegasus Jackson]

Wonder what the production list looks like.

Hope the No I.D tracks are kept to a minimum. Nobody's Smiling sounded like a demo tape.

A shame really cause I use to be a common stan...

Now really the only time I see him is when he in some mid budget action movie getting beat up by some old white dude...

not checking for it. im sure he'd all encourage us to go out and extend our hands in peace because only black people can end racism, rather than listening to his new music

Common, while not countering Stewart’s statement, offered his perspective on the way to heal wounds that have existed on American soil for centuries.

“We all know there’s been some bad history in our country. We know that racism exists,” the star conceded, before adding, “I’m…extending a hand. And I think a lot of generations and different cultures are saying ‘Hey, we want to get past this. We’ve been bullied and we’ve been beat down, but we don’t want it anymore. We’re not extending a fist and saying, ‘Hey, you did us wrong.’ It’s more like ‘Hey, I’m extending my hand in love. Let’s forget about the past as much as we can, and let’s move from where we are now. How can we help each other? Can you try to help us because we’re going to help ourselves, too.’ That’s really where we are right now.”

“Me as a black man, I’m not sitting there like, ‘White people—y’all did us wrong,’” Common continued. “I mean we know that that existed. I don’t even have to keep bringing that up. It’s like being in a relationship and continuing to bring up the person’s issues.”

I'm very surprised at how much he dropped the ball on that album after coming off Summertime 06
