Apparently Alicia Keys has got it all figure out. Gangsta Rap and the East Coast West Coast BULLSHIT, is all Whitey's fault.

Go figure.

Yeah, trying to make an issue out of something a pop star says is really grasping at straws. Especially when it's as completely stupid as this. Whether I agree with them or not, I think your points are usually much better than this.

you know, American Indians were treated just as badly as blacks. they never piss in anyones ears about it....they just want the casinos and they are fine.
they dont get a month of awareness, or even a day of awareness. i mean, maybe you could count thanksgiving, but its a bullshit holiday celebrating genocide.


maybe the african american community can take a page out of their book.........

alicia keys represents the african american community.  she speaks for everyone.  parker, youre smarter than that.  it seems to me the white american community loves to talk about other race.

Hmmmmmmmm, I am just thinking about the national outcry when another celebrity said "Nappy Headed Hoes" on the air....Yet, blaming white America for gangsta bullshit goes un-noticed.........and is dismissed.........a double standard perhaps??? Nehhhhhh couldn't be

so you post an article out of a blog that has Alicia keys, a figure that may be a bit popular but no where nearly accepted in a persons individual life as say, Pat Robertson or Ron paul.


Lowing, I wish you would post threads about white people being racist, you know, to show your impartiality and well roundedness that you seem to always claim to be a strong part of your character. 


since when do you read the brown sugar pages?

lol - she's stupid. Who has ever taken anything a pop star has said seriously? Anyone?

That was mildly entertaining, but I hope that you are not seriously considering trying to start some type of debate over this.

I guess you could have a debate on what's the most loony crap that's come out of a pop-stars mouth?

I don't really think you can compare the two. Imus was representing his corporate overlords, while Alicia Keys is more or less her own fame. It's a different scenario, and I'm sure that the people who aren't oblivious or apathetic to these sorts of comments won't just dismiss them.

It's a good example of just how outrageous things are percieved to be by the general public, though. Black people have been blaming the government, the whites, and everyone else for their problems, inabilities and ineptitude for so long that people just don't really care anymore.

i know that she doesnt represent shit, but she is trying too.
i dont know about the white american community, but its not a past time of mine to sit around and talk about other races. i have some insight into the American Indians, as my ancestor was an indian fighter with daniel boone, and they were both adopted into the shawnee tribe.
through learning about my family, i have gained more insight into the oppression of the indians than anything else.
thats why i used that as a reference...



BUT, its not just alicia keys.
unfortunately, the people they look up to are helping to stereotype and maintain an image they constantly complain about.

This has been a Masques Pro-tip.

I post articles that I find interesting, ironic or colossally stupid. This article qualifies because it points out that the black community is very sensitive toward racism................just not their own.

I see no need to post articles about white racism, since as soon as one is perceived the black community has already responded with fiery rage.........Don Imus is a perfect example...

I like to read the black pride and white people hating sites, I find it very interesting to read about how the white man is keeping the black community down, while celebrating their own racism. The hypocrisy is extremely entertaining.

it seems some people who cry about inequality do not really want equality but rather inequality in the other direction. 

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson make money off the race card.  instead of championing the progress of their respective race towards equality and justice, they seek to perpetuate inequality and racial strife. 

the only time i think about race is when someone brings it up and usually it's the minority in question.  i believe they are hypersensitive to those issues since they are ramrodded the stereotypical responses from their own civic leaders and entertainment community.  rather than mainstreaming towards a inclusive culture, these same people tend to hold onto a culture that actually sets them apart (in a negative light by the way) and holds them back.  Further, those that are successful (own businesses, make money like everyone else), are classified as sell-outs and not black enough.  WTH is that? 

while i agree that Alicia Keys and other celebrities are useless, let's not underestimate their effect on community perceptions.  as i said, people are continually bombarded by media these days.  'stars' use their influence to push their own agendas.  Some good, some bad.  however, most of these so-called stars actually barely graduated high-school in the case of many childhood stars, so i question their credentials.  i believe that most are in the back pockets of people like George Soros and others in the Hollywood elite.  In fact, i would think that statemetns like Keys' are par for the course - she probably wants some attention and needs record sales.  controversial behavior in these days is rewarded - look at lindsay and paris.  these people represent all that is bad within our society.  they get paid to 'show-up' at parties.  do these people really do anything to create something useful?  entertainment.  that's it.  they are not solving world hunger, inventing new ways to get us off of foreign fuels, helping cure cancer, etc.  yet, we as a western culture revere these insipid life-support systems for a vagina as 'the shit'.  our priorities are backwards.

We will never be able to heal racially in the US until we can all agree that RAP music sucks and white people shouldn't play basketball professionally.
