"I won't talk about black issues on a white TV station." Oh, that's nice. So segregation was a good thing?

The days of the crusades are over amongst the people, pity our leaders haven't received the memo yet.

Not all "negative rappers" are "negative." Twista made a very special song called "Hope" which I thought was just as positive as anything Comm, Mos, ?uest or Lupe have put out. Others in the same category have done the same... Second, big ups to Wise Intelligent for being smart enough to understand that CNN seeks to solve nothing. These are the same people who publicize everything Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears & Lindsay Lohan while avoiding the real facts like the war in Iraq which will inevitably bankrupt this country, the daily carnage in Darfur and the threat of AIDS in everyone's communities. CNN don't give a shit. They wanna keep the people dumb and in a slumber only to be woken up when there's a reactionary cause to take up. ...yeah, ok, I'll stop...
