I've got real problems with Patti Smith's engagement with race history as well. Her song "Strange Messengers" is one of the most frustrating things I've ever listened to, because it starts SO STRONG, but deteriorates into her presuming to speak for Black elders and lecturing contemporary Black folk.

I think the "fumbled the execution" take is overgenerous. Failing that hard is indicative of some deep-down mis-knowing. Lennon's intentions can be whatever they were, it doesn't change the fact that he COULD NOT SEE Black personhood/history. And considering his past of abuse against women, the fact that his racism was ostensibly in service of feminism isn't much mitigation.

This shit DOES happen all the time, and I'm tired of pretending that it doesn't stink.
