I dont know that the Goody Mob targets Bill Clinton directly as THE
"enemy", surly you have to know that he's being used as a figure only, or a
representative of sorts, if you will, of much larger areas of society, that
have the ability to be oppressive...They know that when we all get through
dancin to the fly beats, strings and horns, these areas still have to be
dealt with on the day to day.

Oh, I dont know, some possibilities might include for example, the federal
government, elitist & arrogant white society, Corporate America, the police,
etc. But last night at the concert they made only positive references to
the HUMAN race (being inclusive of everyone), and simply made no apologies
for being pro black first. These brothers know US history, and I think their
views are very real --not dangerous or otherwise.

Food for thought:
Among other things, who do you think "the beast" is in the Fugees song of
the same title anyway?

One more:
Ever listen closely to Digable Planets?
