I Can’t Stand Intolerance (2009)

Recorded at Bronson Park in Kalamazoo, Michigan during the same session as “Holiday Rant (2009),” this piece builds on a couple of specific points in that show related to racism and bigotry.  Essentially, a restatement and analysis of Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance, but about eleven years before it became popularly known as that.  As always, keep your eyes and ears out for themes and bullet points that I continue to hit today, including pokes at various facets of “big picture/root problem” issues that I believe we have now begun the process of truly evolving away from.

Also notable for being one of the few times I’ve ever used the n-word in a piece that wasn’t specifically about that word, and for being the first time I discussed the fact that I’m part black in public.
