Probably best known (as much as he probably wishes he wasn’t) as the “angry black guy” from the first season of the mother of all reality shows, The Real World, hip-hop author Kevin Powell, who is now running for Congress, is coming to St. Louis.
Powell, the former editor of Vibe magazine, is running as a Democrat in the 10th Congressional District in Brooklyn, New York. The invitation to his St. Louis event says that Powell is “widely considered one of America’s most important voices in these early years of the 21st Century.”
Wow! That’s coming a long way from throwing a phone at Julie and claiming that black people can’t be racist because they don’t have power.
Powell will be at the Regional Arts Commission building, 6128 Delmar Blvd, on Monday, November 12, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
