Comment: I'm not sure if the Obama camp is going to be down with this, in as much as they try to distance themselves from JJ, Al and anything associated with their style. They may be worried about how YT will react to this. From their perspective, they would rather paint Obama as the victim without being too..., well how should I say it, loud, angry, "black?!". Naw, they wouldn't go there.

Comment: It's so interesting that this protest is receiving like zero attention from other msm outlets. And really, that's the only thing that will work--more exposure from the collective press. FauxNews couldn't care less about these signatures because most are probably from people who don't watch anyway, but what WILL make them listen is continued marginalization which will ultimately mean less viewers and of course less moulah. The more FauxNews is branded as biased and agenda-driven, the more it will be relegated to the margins and it will slowly but surely be taken less seriously even by its fanatical right-wing audience. *Crossing fingers* P.S. TRTR, that's the excuse FauxNews uses, but their intention with that headline was not lost, it was racist and disrespectful, period.

Comment: Way to go Nas! It's funny how everybody points their fingers at these rappers to "do more good" yet the moment someone does something most of us agree with, his motives are questioned. Like marching against Fox News is another guaranteed 50K sold?? yeah right. Most Nas fans prolly don't even watch the network. I'm a HUGE Nas fan. For those that don't know, he's been "preaching in his music" since he was 18, much to the dismay of hip hop fans. Nas has always spoken on mature controversial topics. He's lost many fans because of his "boring" subject matter.

Comment: the problem is on the next song, he'll speak on drug dealing and womanizing and the gangster lifestyle. Hypocrite is a term associated with his musical legacy. I respect that he attempts to spread some positive messages in his music. More than most actually. I'm curious to see if Fox goes after him like they normally do most rappers. TGen, I agree. We need more media outlets to protest Fox' autrocious behavior and racially biased programming. I hear a few other talk show hosts take shots at em, but nothing on a major scale.

Comment: BigChassie:
I agree with you 100%. I don't watch Fox News. I refuse to give them any ratings. We black folks must learn how the entertainment media works. We're under the false impression that we vote every four years. But in reality we vote everyday of our lives. With our money. Which means if you allow your children to purchase or see baffonish entertaiment. Guess what???
You and your children have sent a message to the entertaiment industry. That this is the kind of entertaiment you want to see and participate in. So in closing. Be ever mindful of what you or your children are buying or participating in. This goes for, television, movies, music and so on.

Nas needs to sit his irrelevant azz down. i do like the song nygger, but he's so hypocritical with his catalog of songs, that the songs w/ a message get lost in the shuffle.

Comment: TNB! Liberal WHITE bloggers say jump, knee-grows say 'how high'? I bet ONLY 100 peeps will show up for this (the unemployed ones, lol). Like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc is fair? They show all the Black criminals everynight on the news too. LOL!
Psst, here's a secret...White Liberals think even lower of Blacks than social conservatives since liberals think only they can save 'the White man's burden'.
If Blacks stpped voting enmass for gay rights, gun control, abortions, etc., Liberals would turn on you guys. But opps, they have already. SILENT are they regarding the genocide of Blacks in America by the Mexican Mafia and other Latino gangs. SILWENT are they about the jobs and wages Blacks lose to Hispanics. SILENT are they about the break-down of the Black family. With Black men gone, Black women will eventually turn to other race men. So, where does that leave the Black race in America as few Africans are allowed to come here? That's why both Dems/Repubs are for amnesty - your Blacks numbers are being watered down may ways. Already, they have chosen the Hispanics as their minority, but you are too blind to see it. What do you think will appen in 20 years when Mexicans are 25% of America. I suggest you look to S. America and see how Blacks are treated by their Hispanic people.
P.S. You won't have the 1-drop rule to save you either. Mexican breeds everything out. So, good luck with the Liberals, LOL!

Comment: I support Nas on this one. A lot of mainstream hip hop artist are scared or not interested in addressing these issues. I've watched Fox News just to see their point of view, and they are just wrong, and I applaud Nas for calling them out on it. As far as so called conscious political hip hip..there should be a movement to bring more of this to mainstream and not just keeping it underground. i mean can't we have some political songs that are catchy and bump to get people on board...you know real hot songs for the clubs....imagine lil jon, ying yang twins, soulja boy, lil kim, trina doing some political stuff. I think if artists do that, it would be more effective. Maybe if artists made a pact that they will put 2 political songs on their CD (even as bonus tracks), it would be a start.......im jus saying...

Comment: THE REAL PROBLEM:
Black on Black Crime Out of Control in Trinidad Section of DC By: Lynn Green
"Thugs are on a murder spree in the Trinidad section of Washington, DC. And guess what? It’s not gang related. It’s just a group of black thugs with guns who are searching out innocent black people to kill—for fun and sport.
PAUSE
We can’t blame this one on the “white man”. We can’t blame this one on a misunderstanding. This is black thugs hunting down and terrorizing innocent black people. They are not in search of Asians. They are not in search of whites. They are not in search of Indians. They are not in search of Hispanics. These black thugs are seeking out other blacks to murder. This is on par with what the Ku Kux Klan did to black during their lynch mob days.

Comment: Allow me to prove to you that this is not gang related
A 13 year old child was in DC from ALABAMA visiting his great grandmother who has cancer. He did not know anyone here.
Check out what a group of black thugs did to this innocent black child:
Alonzo Robinson, the 13-year-old boy who was fatally shot early Saturday amid the latest wave of violence to shake the Northeast Washington neighborhood of Trinidad, was in town with his mother to visit his great-grandmother as she underwent chemotherapy for lung cancer.
He and his mother, Marcella Robinson, who was also shot and hospitalized with a bullet wound in the arm, were scheduled to return home to Alabama this past Thursday after a two-week visit. But relatives said Robinson decided to delay her departure until after the weekend so she and her only child could spend more time with family.
“I think he’s in a better place,” Alonzo’s great-uncle Tyrone Redrick, 43, said yesterday. “It just hurts that he was called home that way.”
No arrests have been made in the case, nor in any of the other shooting and stabbing incidents that left two dead and 13 injured — most of them in Trinidad — from late Friday through early Saturday, police said.
I have news for Alonzo’s uncle Tyrone. Alonzo was not “called home”. He was murdered before his time by a group of thugs. And to show you just how wicked and callous these animals are, check this out:
Right before murdering this child for no reason, and for practically killing the child’s mother, the criminal shouted:
‘What’s up?’ and started shooting,” said Tyrone Redrick, 43, relaying the account given to him by William. “It wasn’t a stick-up or anything.”
Now, do you think that no one knows who murdered this child? OF COURSE people know who killed him. But this ignorant, debased “no snitch” rule in the bowels of the underbelly society has given thugs and murderers the power and authority to devastate the black community unchecked.

Comment: There are presently several bands of these criminals loose in DC:
Police clarified yesterday that they were searching for individuals in two separate and apparently unrelated vehicles in connection with the shootings in Trinidad. The first group, consisting of three people in a black sedan, allegedly drove into the neighborhood shortly after 1:00 am Saturday and shot and injured an adult male and another 13-year-old boy before fleeing.
The second set consisted of two people in a gold 2002 Dodge Intrepid sedan who drove to Holbrook Street about 2:25 a.m. Police think they were responsible for three of the shooting incidents in the neighborhood that morning, including Alonzo’s killing.
Like several residents interviewed, Eric James, 21, standing a few blocks from where Alonzo was shot, said his death represents a failure of police efforts to step up patrols in the area.
Sorry, but stepping up patrols is not the answer. These criminals need to be rounded up and led to the nearest electric chair posthaste. And it should be against the law for a child to drop out of school unless they can prove they are in a GED program. When they drop out, they start killing people.
This is terrorism at its worse. And when Bill Cosby speaks on it, he is labeled a sell out. The thugs are not labeled sell outs but Cosby is. Something is wrong with that picture.
We are supposed to sit silently by and smile and make excuses for criminal black thugs who are terrorizing other blacks. And if a police officer dares to beat the crap out of one of those vermin and rodents, the enablers of our community are all over it like flies on a hot pile of dog poop. I’m sick of this mess! I’d like to line every thug up and take ‘em out. They are menacing society and it’s funny to them.
If you think that I’m all up in arms about one child, true—I am. However, there were many more blacks victimized in Trinidad. Look at this:
The death of 13-year-old Alonzo Robinson was one of several incidents in Trinidad from late Friday to early Saturday that left seven other people injured, including Alonzo’s mother.
So what are police doing about it? They have established check points to screen motorists. Yeah, right. Copyright © 2006-2007 HickTownPress. All Rights Reserved.

Comment: I know this is off topic, SmokeyBones2004, but I have to co-sign your posts on the murder madness in the Trinidad area of DC which is not very far from where I live . . . . . ACLU and like-minded white liberals are upset that the DCPD are setting up check points to quell the Trinidad violence like we live in the Anbar Province in Iraq . . . . . the DCPD don't have much legal standing because even when they do their jobs correctly, they get harrassment complaints from Ra-Ra's mother and nem that the po-po is hassling their thuggish young/grown children: imagine being a police officer who gets put on administrative duty after complaints are filed when the officer finds weaponry and drugs on an individual or in the individual's home . . . . . . Ra-RA and his posse care nothing for nothing

Comment: Dr. K.,
I have been a fan of Nas since he came out, but he's gt a lot of nerve on this one. There is a reason why his CD is "Untitled", and it's because he wanted to call it "N*gger". He even has a song on there with the same name. He basically jumped on the bandwagon of trying to desensitize a word that can't be desensitized.

Comment: This is my take. If this wasn't done during the week of his CD release it might be a bit more believable.
If the future of Nas' career were to be consistently positive and not degrading to women and African-Americans...this might be a bit more believable (that it is altruistic).
Just remember, it was only recently that he was in King Magazine talking about B's and H's.
That ISH has had a FAR more pervasive and negative effect on our community than Fox News.
Recognize hypocrisy and marketing schemes for what they are. Hypocrisy and marketing schemes.

Comment: Oshun...the way a "protest" boosts sales is in the accompanying media coverage. Often times in articles such as these the CD is also mentioned because it is relevant to "explaining" who Nas is in relation to Fox in this case (his history with Bill O'Reilly) and a general information sense.
Just about every article these days makes mention of his "untitled" CD.
So yeah, any press received goes to helping CD sales through simple idea exposure.

Out of all the millions of intelligent Blacks in the nation, why use this NAS guy? Isn't he the one who wanted to do the N-words album. If so, this makes us look like complete fools in front of the rest of the world and Faux News, because they'll just turn the tables and do a story about the rapper wanting to degrade blacks with the album. Couldn't we just use a scholar. When will we just "get it"?

Comment: On the topic of McCain not getting enough attention from the media, you may not be hearing that anymore. The level of protection that McCain gets from the media was revealed recently.
In an interview, Katie Couric told him that Obama said the reduction in violence was also due to the Sunni awakening and the Shiite government going after militias. McCain said that was false, claiming that Colonel McFarlene was contacted by one of the Sunni sheiks, and because of the surge they were able to go out and protect that sheik and others, and thus began the Anbar awakening. But the fact is that the colonel briefed the media on the Sunni awakening on Sept 29th 2006, at least two months before any talk of a surge. But this part of the interview was omitted by CBS. Actually, they aired the question, but played part of McCain answer to a different question. So CBS made it seem that it is Obama that is not understanding what is going on in Iraq, when it was actually McCain, in this case. I guess MoveOn.org and ColorOfChange.org can add CBS to the list to boycott. you all need to check out this video on MSNBC called "Media love affair with Obama?” In it, they show McCain confusing the following. Russia's Putin with being the German leader, relationship between Iran and Al-Qaida, Iraq-Pakistan border (don't exist), and calling the Czech republic Czechoslovakia repeatedly.

My problem is that two weeks from now he'll be back to the "business" of making money in connection to the debasement of women...and thus our people.
So doing something "positive" with no consistency and thus it could be argued then is a lack of sincerity says volumes.
It cheapens the whole point and effectiveness of a march in the first place and secondly, spits in the face of those genuinely trying to uplift Black folks and combat racism.
In other words, those who go to the Grammys wearing a "N#$%^^@" t-shirt in the hopes of selling a future CD really shouldn't have SHYT to say about the supposed racist policies of Fox News.
I'd settle for Nas stopping with the N#%@^ T-shirts on national TV...that would be a great start.

I never alleged to "decide" what was "relevant" for you...as in THE INDIVIDUAL
But what I am saying that in the grand scheme of MEDIA you CAN'T have a protest about how African-Americans are portrayed in media and not also include how Nas himself (the protester in question) portrays Blacks in the media himself.
You can disregard its relevance all day everyday...but it's still relevant.
Because such a discussion must include ALL representations, not just the ones..."you think are relevant."

You're welcome to that opinion...just as long as you realize how it sounds out loud.
It's not about walking and chewing gum...such a statement suggests that I'm arguing against spreading resources.
I'm arguing against hypocrisy...these are mutually exclusive ideas, they're hand in hand.
So no...not emotional at all, my logic is tight actually.
