Who rights history in America

Post by starving student » Wed Jul 22, 2009 10:25 pm

are you one of the gabillion-trillion-zillion-I don't believillion people who believe
that Michael Jackson invented the moonwalk or was the first artist to grab his crotch
for musical posturing?

I guess who wrongs it is usually the same people who write it.

But who rights it? People like Chomsky I suppose, although he didn't have much to say about MJ and his moonwalk...

I was under the impression that "Who rights history" was a clever way to say "Who tells the real story?", as in "Righting a wrong".
