Elvis and Racism via the NY Times
This article, basically, encapsulates a running debate I've been having in my own head for about 20 years. I've always loved Elvis' music. But, then Chuck D said it was wrong . . . what's a "Little Sister"-lovin' girl to do? So, I admit to being a little relieved that he seems to have revised his position. I still get his underlying point, though.

I always loved Elvis, too. He admitted later in his career that he was influenced by a lot of the older black blues men.
