Nas Backs Petition Against FOX Over Racism
By Rahim, 07-23-2008 , 03:15 AM

Nas reportedly joined representatives of ColorOfChange.org and MoveOn.org when they delivered a petition to FOX Network's offices in Manhattan on Tuesday (July 22).

According to NME, the petition has 620,127 signatures and accuses FOX of racism against Black Americans.

The petition accuses the network of specifically targeting presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.

The petition claims FOX referred to Mrs. Obama as "Obama's baby mama," and Bill O'Reilly suggested calling a "lynching party" to deal with Mrs. Obama.

The petitions also claims that the network labeled a fist bump between Barack and Michelle as a "terrorist fist jab."

Nas accuses FOX of racism in a song called "Sly Fox" on his latest album, Unititled.

Signatures for the petition were obtained via The Brave New Foundation, ColorOfChange.org, and MoveOn.org.

the baby mama thing isnt racist, you dont have to be black to be labelled a "baby mama" nor do you have to have any black connection. if anything labelling "baby mama" is racist in itself, defining that term is only associated with black people.

i agree with the other shit though.

if we never get over this racism shit, no one will.

I happen to be white, and have black family members, regardless I hate racism in any form. bill o'reilly and fox news are absolutely racist, and I have always thought so. the "baby mama" comment was very racist and to deny it makes you just as guilty. it's a way of devaluing the strength of their marriage and their intelligence. barack and michelle obama are two very real, very strong, and very intelligent people. and the fox news crew will say anything they can to break obamas campaign and image.

they also left out the comment that terrorists will be dancing in the street if barack gets elected (which he absolutely will), only adding to the perception that african americans aren't as american as whites. but the most unfortunate part is that millions of people agree, fox is only poison because we consume it, I have so much respect for nas for speaking out, most rappers today are well payed slaves that say what white labels tell them to so they can profit. too bad for them, Obama will be our leader.

how do I respond to somebody who can't spell f**k right, if you don't like my opinion then say yours. I could atleast respect you if you disagreed with me for a reason, and not just because you're too insecure about you might sound like if you actually tried write something that takes thought. you need to learn about the way the media (especially fox) tries to poison our minds. but maybe you're too arrogant to question your own way of thinking!!!

use your brain and have your own opinion, or would you understand me better if I said "uybahyoo". again I'll restate, either write why you disagree or don't waste your time typing.if Obama doesn't get elected we will suffer another four years of the same old s**t with Mcain, although voting might not matter to you since you can't text for president. and I'm sick and tired of my generation not caring about our society!!

and if your reading an article on nas then I assume you want to hear his opinion. so you should buy his new album, he has alot of real smart thoughts to share about ignorant people just like youselves.
