Heroes
Margaret Cho - She taught me what a feminist is, and that you don't have to be fully gay or lesbian to fight for equality. She's a civil rights leader of today; Martin Luther King, Jr. should be proud... this woman needs a day named after her.
Whoopi Goldberg - She ignored everyone when they told her to wear make-up and look super feminine, and look, she has... what... TWO Oscars? Go Whoopi.
And she's funny.
Jimmy Kimmel - "If an openly gay man touches your arm in a public place and you feel uncomfortable, that doesn't make him a pervert. That makes you homophobic."
James Spooner - He made the documentary Afro-Punk. Worth the watch for any black kid who sees themselves as different.
Chuck D - "It troubles me that black music is now largely devoid of guitar. A lot of today’s black musicians don’t acknowledge that you can combine great beats with a great guitar lick. So, we have this situation where we have great black guitarists like Vernon Reid, Eric Gales, and Ernie Isley getting ignored by both the rock world and the black urban music community. Black people don’t acknowledge them, because they aren’t getting played on their radio and television stations. Therefore, black people have been disenfranchised from the guitar for most of the last 40 years" ... "People inherently love music, but if you don’t give people knowledge when they’re first drawn to music, you’re putting their musical interests in the attaché cases of business. The worst situation is having businesspeople tell you what to like. Educators try to tell you something. Businesspeople try to sell you something."
