Rapper Says White Racism to Blame for Black Violence


Although many people in this country are discussing violence, a Miami rapper is claiming that the real cause of the violence that permeates the Black community is not being discussed.
Originally from the mean streets of Washington DC, Yasin360Wiseguy aka "The Enforcer" is claiming that Black on Black violence is directly related to the history of slavery and racism and the violence in rap music is "The Hip Hop Hatin' that Hate Produced." Growing up in the nation's capital Yasin has seen, first hand. the damage that suppressed black anger at white supremacy can cause. Fortunately, he was able to channel his rage into his music. And he is using his music to make a difference.
The artist is on a mission to enforce principals of unity that will stop the glorification of black death that is prevalent in commercial Hip Hop. He believes that if Black youth understood the roots of Black on Black violence, their behavior would change.
"It does no good to take the guns out of the hands of the boys in the 'hood when the bullet of white supremacy is still lodged in their brains."
His latest video is called "What's Gangsta." G.A.N.G.S.T.A. stands for "Going Against Negativity Getting Stronger Together Always."

Django Unchains Holly'hood's Racial Hypocrisy

There a are alot of White pundits (both Conservative and Liberal) discussing the upcoming Quentin Tarantino movie, "Django Unchained" but as usual, the opinions of Black Folks, especially the more militant minded are ignored. I guess we should be seen and not heard.

 I applaud the movie (It's not The Nat Turner Story but we'[ll take it) and I think that many White people are really bothered, not only by being reminded of the horrors of slavery while they celebrate "Peace on Earth" but by the image of a Black male committing justifiable homicide against White people. While there have been many movies like Roots that have shown the beatings and murders of Black people, there have been relatively few with a Black dude getting a little payback. Also, although you have many 'hood films that glorify Black on Black violence (Boyz in tha Hood, Menace II Society) there are virtually no movies that have talked about the killing of white people.

 Also, the recent Drudge Report post that used the "N word" several times in a caption shows the blatant hypocrisy that the right wing exhibits in regards to issues of race. Even though Drudge may claim that he was making a point, would he use " Hymie" or "Christ Killer" over the caption of an article about Jews? Or would he put "Faggot" over a caption about homosexuals? I think not. They would be calling for his head.


Unfortunately, he seems right at home with using the N word.


If we are to move forward as a country, the hypocrisy of "Holly'hood" and the media must end.
