RACISIM: As American as Apple Pie
As this JENA 6 story grows more and more everyday, I start to wish that I will wake up soon from this nightmare that something this racist can still go on today. Why do I still live in this type of country. How can our kids grow up in this. But I realize that I am not dreaming, and this sh!t is real. Its also as American as Apple Pie. Its not only JENA 6, for some time now I have noticed the backtracking that has occured in the media an in Hip Hop. Like someone gave them the cue that racism was okie now.
Take for instance FLAVA FLAV. This Summer on Comedy Central, they aired the FLAVA FLAV ROAST. Theres no real reason to defend Flava Flav, being that hes brought back the Mistrel Show back to modern tv, but watching this show made me realize that we all are being bamboozled into another Civil Rights Movement, and it looks like its gonna be against our own people.
JENA 6 is not a surprise, I just think that we are all being just too naive to exactly how racist this country is. It was built on racism. We are in the belly of the beast here. Thats why i'm actually kind of scared for Barrack O'Bama. I was scared when he spoke at Washington Square Park last week in NYC. The Ku Klux Clan is not extinct. There are many people who rather Die than see this Half Black man take the white house.
If the Next Presidential Election is Going to be btween Barrack and Hilary, then we are just gonna find out what America is more of, either Racist, or Sexist, and thats the only thing it will prove. Dont be fooled and dont believe the hype!
