There Will Be School On Their Birthdays
I love Chris Rock. I love Dave Chappelle. Pretty much any comedian who hits the nail on the head. Everytime I think of MLK Day, I remember Rock’s bit about Tupac and Biggie from his HBO special Bigger and Blacker…..
” ‘I’m watching the news … Tupac Shakur was assassinated, Biggie Smalls assassinated, struck down by assassin’s bullets … no, they wasn’t. Martin Luther King was assassinated, Malcolm X was assassinated, John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Them two [brothas] got shot! [Damn], I love Tupac, I love Biggie, but school will be open on their birthday.’ “
On a serious note, remember the dream, more poignant now on the eve of an historical event.
