The piece says in the end that it doesn't want to single out Kendrick Lamar but whenever he is mentioned in a revolutionary context the photographs of him with Dronebama flash before my eyes.

He says white people don't have singers and comedians as their leaders. I think there is a kernel of truth to that. But the current crop of trailblazers for whiteness includes people like Joe Rogan and a bunch of other podcasters. I cannot think of any example in this genre of demagogues that is not heavily invested in podcasting. They are not comedians nor singers. They are not even fit to be called clowns. But they are at least deeply unserious. I don't know how that fits in with his argument but it is something to think about.
