CNN Contributor LZ Granderson says Rick Perry’s rock is “not our problem”

CNN Contributor LZ Granderson composed an article on CNN.com today commenting on the alleged slur on Rick Perry’s rock. He says that although it is disturbing, he believes there are other more important issues facing the black community, such as poverty, unemployment, education and songs like the demeaning-to-women “Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay,” the most popular hip hop track on the charts this week. Granderson says that the word on the rock is a secondary issue, and that the black community should explore the internal harm they inflict upon themselves.
