Marsalis isn't completely pessimistic about American culture.

Well, you just don't know how glad I am to know that.

"From the Plantation to the Penitentiary"

Conservatism ended the plantation era. Liberalism tried to continue it.

Conservatism attempts to create fishermen. Liberalism in black America is represented by white elitist, who "own" black leaders and black reverends who speak for people who can't fish.

......and the drummer plays the beat and the people dance to its funky rhythms........

I've met 3 Marsalis brothers. I think Wynton is a racist and an ahole. Branford's good to go, you can just hang and talk with him, Wynton's kinda uppity. Delfeayo's pretty cool, too; A friend from high school was a classmate of his at Berklee.
