Chuck D had his interesting moments. On one of weekend night shows, he was
talking about illiteracy in the black community. Not just reading
illiteracy, but the problems which occur for people who don't even know the
meaning of a large percentage of words in standard english. For the moment,
he wasn't bashing the Republicans or praising some fix-it presented by the
Democratic Party. He was describing a problem which most Americans are, at
best, vaguely aware of. It was the most thoughtful thing I'd heard on Air
America.

Chuck D is an interesting guy. I was a big fan of Public Enemy as a
teenager, and a lot of their rap while angry was right on. D is highly
intelligent and knows what he's talking about in my view.
