The New Prophets of Rage Video Takes a Look at the Whole #TakeAKnee Controversy

Alan Cross 1 Comment

Leave it to Chuck D and company to bring the noise over the NFL’s “take a knee” problem. Prophets of Rage are, as you might guess, firmly behind the protesting players and would like to take this opportunity to put the situation into a historical perspective. It’s not subtle, but this is a point that needs to be communicated.

First Eminem, now these guys. Who’s next? Like the songs says, strength in numbers.
