Bono: Honorary Blackman
On March 2nd, Bono (of U2 and all around guy filled with self-importance) was in my area; Oakland.
He was chillin with Barbara Lee to urge action against the rise of AIDS in African-Americans.
That night Bono was in LA to receive the NAACP's Chairman's Award.
He was introduced by Tyra Banks, Chris Tucker, and the NAACP's Chairman. The Roots jammed 'Pride (In The Name Of Love)' (I didn't know Blackthought could sing).
Then Bono gave his acceptance speech. It was pretty moving. He had the audience on their feet hollering some call and response.
