03/23/2008: "Multiculturalism feminizing black men"

Griff's most famous role in that long career is minister of communications for Public Enemy, the pioneering hip-hop revolutionaries fronted by his childhood friend, Chuck D. But Griff (born Richard Griffin) has made his own name in the world as well, separate from but always in pursuit of the same agenda that drove Public Enemy: empowering black people, countering media dissembling, fighting the powers that be.

Artvoice: How did you become involved with Turn Off Channel Zero?

Griff: Opio Sokoni was at the Black Holocaust Conference in D.C., and listening to all the speakers speak, it came to him that in order for us to balance this all out and to produce the next group of black leaders that are going to come up and speak on behalf of black people, young black students need to see strong black men.

And we're just not seeing this. When we went to go find them, the majority of them had been bought off by this government, co-opted. They don't really speak black, they don't speak for black people. This is a problem, because we don't see ourselves in the educational system. I mean, when you start talking about Little Black Sambo and Ten Little Niggers—these were books that were being used to educate black people. It's not healthy. We could not find a strong black man.

And then the whole aspect of the effeminization of the African male. It's ridiculous: Every strong black male figure that goes to Hollywood has to put on a dress, with the exception of Dave Chappelle and Denzel Washington. Dave Chappelle turned down $50 million, just to say, "No, I'm not doing it," and we don't know what Denzel Washington turned down. But you can't find too many black men in Hollywood that didn't put on the dress.

[ Sensible speech from this ethnonationalist activist. Black and white solidarity to remove multiculturalism is a must. ]
