It Takes a Nation of Millions...
Hey Jonathan,
I think Thabiti is off on vacation, or whatever it is that rock-star pastors do after making it big time.
I wouldn't say that in my stupid joke I'm equating PE with being a brother. Instead, I am offering it as proof of the fact that I ought to be recognized as such.
In all seriousness, though, this hits near the heart of tension in Thabiti's message. Ethnicity is fluid and has less to do with biology than culture. So Thabiti sometimes used "black" culture interchangeably with "hip-hop" culture. Of course, I am simplifying greatly.
But it does raise the question, how small of a cultural sub-group can you be and still be an ethnicity? Is punk rock an ethnicity? Or is it a smaller sub-set of "white" culture? How about polka players? How about self-important Irish rock singers like... never mind...?
