(Let’s take a break from talking about Songs For and the new single for just a moment.) Well, I think it’d be a first, because I’m pretty sure that there aren’t any remotely black writers on the team. If there were, we would probably have less buffoonery from the black(ish) wrestlers not named Dwayne Johnson and […]
