Right Quick
$16.98
When I was lucky enough to get Right Quick, I was rightfully excited. Polow, for one, improved a lot on this cut. Mr. Mo and Cutty also improved slightly lyrically. There are a few worthless skits but as usual, Jim Crow doesn't let us down. They provide some fun tracks like "Holla At Me," and "Everywhere I Go." I was surprised by how solid the slower tracks like "Neva Renig" and "My Own Eyes" were. I am very angered that their third CD, Bird Sh*t, got canned a few years ago. I heard that CD was straight fire. Anyway, get this if you can get it for a reasonable price (People ask around $60 for it sometimes...).

The Strange Career of Jim Crow
$19.99
C. Vann Woodward's "The Strange Career of Jim Crow" remains one of the most important books written about post-Reconstruction Southern America. In the space of very few pages, Woodward brings to us the proposal that the assumptions we have all been making about Jim Crow laws and the development of segregation were all wrong from the very beginning. We are taught the lie from grade school forward that "that's just the way it always has been in the South." Not so, according to Woodward.We learn very quickly when reading this book that not only were there three or four decades following the Civil War wherein there was virtually no major segregation in the South - but the conditions with regards to segregation and equal rights in the South were actually better than in the North for several decades as well.The lies of a racist South and a desperate North (desperate to make a moral issue of something that they too were guilty of in trying to keep blacks from having equal rights) somehow stuck in the Southern psyche, and all along we've been thinking that people were racist because "that's all they knew." Woodward blows this theory out of the water, and exposes the truth about the post-Reconstruction South.Not only was segregation not popular in the South in much of the late 19th Century, but blacks voted often. There was very good participation - enough to put a lot of blacks and Republicans in public office in the South - for a time. It was not until the 1870s that a gradual change began in the South. That change brought about the Jim Crow laws - changes that were unwelcome to all of humanity. Booker T. Washington believed that the South could not advance and still leave the blacks behind: Woodward came about a few decades later and showed us all just how right Washington really was.
