Reply #64: You're putting words in my mouth.

why are you measuring eminem by whether society follows him and moves to the left on race and class issues? Isn't it enough just to do your thing as an artist and send it out there for people to ponder?

If it's not clear to you from my last post that I fully support an artist putting out whatever the heck they want and leaving their listeners to figure it out, then I'm not sure what else to say. Furthermore YOU are the one who's measuring Em by whether he advances issues, not me. Let me remind you of your OP: "On issues of race and class, he's good." You still haven't defined what you mean by "good" but, seeing as this is DU, I assume you meant "a champion for a lefty cause". Was I wrong?

You're obvioulsy not interested in fleshing out your original point or in engaging in a meaningful discussion.
