As far as I’m aware, Mike Shinoda’s Linkin Park side project (Fort Minor) never made a clip for this highly unusual ‘family rap’, so a group of amateurs made one on the sly. As with a few of our regular commenters, rap’s not a genre I warm to, but this manages to transcend the form in all sorts of interesting ways.

It also crystallizes why - for me - FDR can never be a liberal democratic ‘great’ in the same way as Churchill or Curtin. To be fair, Churchill also made terrible mistakes - abandoning the Poles at Yalta, Coventry, Dresden. But the internment of the Japanese Americans is in an especially bad category all its own, the place where we came closest to resembling the ‘other side’.
