I never did much like or understand Eminem and his music. This was true even when I worked with adolescents in foster care and they understood him and his life because it was like theirs. He's just not my generation. I am not a rap appreciator, that is until this week.
I so appreciate Eminem speaking up for the athlete's who are "taking a knee" in protest to violence done to black people. I so appreciate him taking on Donald Trump at the risk of offending his own base of white, right wing fans.
That is leadership. That is the power an entertainer has to effect society and change.
