I don't disagree with you. As many of the commentators posted in the comments on salon, it reads like a marxist/postcolonialist deconstruction straight out of academia. Nothing wrong with that, as I find it kind of entertaining to apply that lens to pop culture, whether I agree with the analysis or not. And I'm not sure if salon ran something similar before. Most of their entertaining writers are pretty huge fans of the show, and this article was actually republished in salon from a different source (they've started subcontracting/republishing a lot of stuff from secondary sources lately).

Drivel. I can't believe you actually read that garbage. It is TV show, and a damn fine one at that!

I mean, I find stuff like "Lady Gaga, the Illumanti Puppet" equally interesting, though it is based in delusions while the other is based on actual reality (albeit a politicized take on reality).

Disagreeing is fine, but it's hardly drivel. Drivel is Entertainment Weekly's take on it. The fact that people are writing pieces like the above on BB doesn't diminish it. On the contrary, it cements it as a "damn fine" work.

what's worse, giving white actors all the "good" roles or, pandering to a black audience by putting hip hop artists in a show or movie to help them cross over?

Saw my very first "Breaking Bad" episode this morning.
I'm halfway through Episode 4 and I'm already hooked. HOLY SHIT!

Yes. Drivel. Making hay out nothing, for no reason, other than to stir up controversy where there is none.
