According to Wiki:
While Brother Ali's family is white, he has often described a childhood marked by cruelty and exclusion by his white classmates as a result of his physical abnormality. He has often explained that, from an early age, he felt "most at home amongst African Americans."

I like that.
B introduced me to DJ shadow, now Pseud to Brother Ali.
My mind wasn't closed to this kind of music, but I certainly wouldn't have sought it out.
I like this section of PG.
