<p> Intelligent? Not really. Well spoken? Let's just say he makes
Joey Buttafuoco sound like William F. Buckley. Nevertheless,
rough-boy rapper-underwear model MARKY MARK proved himself a
savvy negotiator when he came under fire from gay- and minority-rights
groups who'd branded him a racist homophobe. Turns out Mr. Mark
(who recently defended another singer's right to state that
gays "should be crucified") has been involved in racist attacks
too, harassing a group of black schoolchildren in 1986 and assaulting
two Vietnamese men in 1988. To save himself, Marky apologized
and yielded to the demands of advocacy groups who asked him
to do antibias public-service ads. Proclaimed the briefed one:
"Asian-Pacific Americans, African Americans and all people have
the right to live free of violence and harassment." How enlightened.
