SPOTTED: NAS PROTESTING IN FRONT OF FOX NEWS’ HEADQUARTERS

Thursday, July 24, 2008

As we reported earlier this week, Nas joined ColorofChange.org and MoveOn.org to protest the racist antics of the Fox News Corporation. He is pictured above speaking to the crowd of fans, media and random new yorkers on Wednesday afternoon in front of the Fox News Headquarters. They also delivered more than 600,000 petition signatures to the offices. (keep reading to view video from the protest..)

The rapper, whose album is currently number one of the billboard charts, released a single and accompanying video entitled, “Sly Fox” to bring light to Fox’s unprofessional antics.

@ Judah…

And to answer your question about the “our goals” - what I want for Black people is complete segregation from white people. That way we can concentrate on strengthening our race.

As soon as you incorporate white people in anything you’re doing, the movement seems to loose direction. If MLK was alive today he’d tell you. The march on Washington started out as angry people demanding answers and were bent on getting it. Once the white got gist of it, they called up MLK and gave him 750,000 and promised more if he allowed Kennedy and his boys to organize it. Even the people in the audience who came with blood in their eyes, ready to blow shit up, couldn’t understand what they hell was going on. That march showed more clowns than the Ringling Brothers Circus. A disgrace.

And one more thing brother, I am not gonna have you call Obama out his name. Respect the messiah…..

I do agree with Nas intentions but lets be honest people, black people are our own worst enemies, whos the first to tear us down or say something about use doing something positive? Who’s more likely to shoot a brother (other than NYPD)? Who complains the most about black people? In response to #5 I really dont think the people that needed to watch a show like that watched it. I really see it as raising more problems and issues than solutions.

@Dukesman

You started off correct brother. We are the Israelites but you can’t have it both ways. Either you are the real Jew or an African. Either one or neither, but not both. The Africans are not our people and they are the ones that sold us here into slavery to the Arabs and the white man. This is why the Africans will not form a league with our people in any way shape or form. The white man knows who we are and this is why the white man teaches us that we are African because the African culture is totally disparate from ours. Almost no black person that claims Africa will go to live there. The Africans do not have our spirit, they do not have our charisma, they do not have our lustre, and they do not have our talent and beauty.

Brother, names like Johnson, Jackson and Smith are black names not caucasian. We gave the so-called white man our last names when we ruled over them during the Middle Ages in Europe in what the white man calls the “dark ages” (which is a play on words). “White” names are names like “Cassius”, “Julius”, “Septimius”, etc. Roman names. We are the descendants of the so-called “barbarians”, “celts”, and “germanic tribes” of medieval Europe. Why do you think in school, we spend months on Greece and Rome, and then a week on the medieval period? That medieval period was us. We came here as indentured servants when our empires in Europe fell and the white man gained the upper hand because it was his divinely stipulated time to regain rulership of the planet earth. Get “Ancient and Modern Britons” by David MacRitchie and it will show you that the knights, princesses, queens, and kings of medieval Europe were black.

I will have to respectfully disagree with you brother. Black people will get respect, but only when they respect themselves and stop licking the boots of devils. In the process many people will die when this society collapses for the same reason that Rome collapsed; governmental corruption, the acceptance of h*mosexuality and l*sbianism, rampant military wars, race wars, and overpopulation. Except in the midst of all that, this time, Christ will come back and set our people back in power as He promised. Blacks worship a corrupted image of the Most High and Christ. Their belief system was crafted by the caucasains to maintain their subservience. The “religion” practiced in the churches is not real, and this is why those people do not know or understand the scriptures. Those pastors are going to be used to make the sheep of our people accept things like h*mosexuality, interracial dating, patriotism, and eventually, the RFID chip.

So now for all that, once again, if you understand that there MUST BE BLOOD, which the scriptures tell us, why do you support petitioning (Ezek 35:6, Rev 13:9,10)? It is contradictory to what you claim to represent and believe in brother. Simple as that . How can you want segregation and yet you want to petition this white man? That is an unstable thought process. Furthermore, for the negro to separate, the white man must agree to parcel out a piece of this defiled land. That will not happen, nor should it.

In regards to MLK, that is a whole other topic. That man was a supreme black devil and the most destructive force to the black community in the history of America. A true super coon. I hope you’re joking about Obama being a “messiah”. Obama’s platform is to bring all races together. You want segregation.

The civil rights march on Washington, the Million Man March in DC, and now this….have done nothing to change the course of black American in this country. These marches are nothing more than social gathering, temporary mental uplifts that provide a false sense of hopes.

The problem with many of these high profile marches and protest is that once they are done, everyone goes back to their daily routine. No planning or strategies are implemented after the march to achieve any real results. We need planning, people who are willing to do all of the dirty work behind the scene to push force these panning.

Feminism has its clasped every aspect of American institution…and white women have progress 10-fold more than any black person in this county…and I have yet to witness a million white woman march in DC.

Judah….very well said.

Natural changes are violent and abrupt: i.e., volcanic eruption, tornadoes, typhoons, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, and fire. These are nature’s way of getting rid of the trash and starting anew.

I truly believe, the state of blacks in this world can only change through some violent abrupt force…and yes, blood and lives will be shed.

I am soooooo proud of Nas. And for those of you who judge, clearly you don’t know this artist! Nas is sincere and genuine about this and I can’t believe some of yah who have the audacity to question his motives…This is not some Souljah Boy rapper, your talking about the greatest of all-time, the one who made it cool to use “Big Words” in his rhymes,lol. I swear Black People get on my nerves sometimes, makes you want to say, why even bother? Yah should be applauding Nas’s efforts to bring awareness for such a cause…He is trying to be more than just a ‘flashing nigga bragging on a song’…Yah should command that and hope to god that more artists like him whom have such talent and grace will do the same! Some of yah literally need to try to get out of that barrel and stop acting like Craps!

Alright, people really need to quit the bullshit. Just a few weeks ago, even months, just about everybody on here was cussing Nas out because of his proposed album title. According to most of yall, he was just an asshole that needed attention and wanted to sell records.
Now that everybody is SO INFATUATED with the “lord and savior” Obama, and all of the recent propaganda on Fox news, everybody has Nas on their good side all of a sudden. How soon we forget huh?
And FYI, I believe that Nas did the “sly fox” song, mainly because he was annoyed by the that stunt that Bill Oreilly tried to pull (look it up). Obama and Fox’s racists antics are secondary.

I understand your anger towards me. I might have told you something in the past that you didn’t want to hear. The truth can never be compromised.

As for me posing as another user…I don’t understand the logic in that. Have I ever shy away from telling anyone my opinion?

Do you honestly believe I care enough about you fucks to carry a disguise or engage in other juvenile games?

Fuck outta here….seriously, you are as relevant to me as the “right click” tab at the corner of my screen. When I depressed it, you no longer cease to exist.

46#,Judah,my brother! I really want to say something to you,man to man,I know that you are mentally retarded but that must not,however,be viewed as an excuse for you to confuse and twist my words.You must be delusional and hallucinating,because even someone with the lowest level of intelligence can see that I did`nt say anything about racism having left America.That`s how your low level confused and twisted mind took it. There are three ways that you can tell if a person is retarded: 1.Do they wear inappropriate winter clothes during the summer 2.Does the individual move awkwardly as if poorly coordinated 3.Does the individual have a strange and bizarre tendency to twist and confuse what you say See,Judah,I hate to break it to you,brother,it`s not other people that are wrong! Take a look in the mirror, my brother, because it`s you and that strange and bizarre tendency you have of twisting reality to fit your retarded agenda.Your running around on CL twisting, sabatoging,and doing a driveby on people`s comments like your the CL police or something.But,I got to go,cause I got a pizza in the oven and besides that, the workers from that Mentally Retarded group home that you escaped from are looking for you.

Puhleeze!

Let’s see how vocally he is 8 mos from now when he’s no longer promoting an album

“Puhleeze!” to you for being so cynical. As far as sales go his albums are always in the same range. It’s not like Nas will go diamond just for doing something like this. Anyway, instead of downing the brother and questioning his motives, you should be commending him for at least doing something positive. No one said this Fox news situation would change overnight. Anybody with a brain knows that. The point of the protest was to at least bring attention to an ongoing problem and even though Fox rejected the petition, the protest served its purpose for now. It got people talking and more aware of Fox’s tactics.

IT’S SO SAD WHEN OUR PEOPLE IN THE SPOTLIGHT ARE DOING WHAT WE EXPECT OF THEM AND WE STILL FIND A WAY TO CRITIZE THEM. JUDAH AND OTHERS ARE QUICK TO TALK ABOUT THE WHITE MANS POWER OVER OTHER BLACKS BUT FAIL TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR. DEVIL’S ADVOCATE, WHY? HOW DOES DISSING NAS HELP YOU??? MAYBE HELP YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH BUT WHAT ELSE????

IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE LEGAL, IT’S IRREVELANT WHAT DRIVES NAS AS LONG AS IT’S FOR A GOOD CAUSE. IF SELLING RECORDS MOTIVATE HIM TO SPEAK OUT MORE POWER.

AND IF THE CRUSTY, FLOUR LIPS GUY RUNS THE ORGANIZATION GOOD FOR HIM. DONT KNOCK HIM WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR GLOSSED LIPS???????

Brother calm down, lol. No more tantrums from grown men please. I just disagreed with your assessment that racism has changed from the 1950’s, which by saying that you’re implying that black people have progressed. Change is not always progress.

@Dats Da Truth

Thank you brother for bringing your mastery of common sense to this forum. The whole feminism thing is something that deserves a post of it’s own.

@98

Sis, let’s get to the point. Why are you and many other people agreeing with Nas? Like another poster brought out, most of you negroes were ready to tar and feather him for the white man when he was going to call his album “N*GGER”. Now you see that he has officially co-signed Barack Obama and is ready to use the tried and true negro tactic of licking the white man’s boots and begging him for love, so now you love him. How can what drives a man be irrelevant? What drives a man will directly affect what his plans and goals are. If you want to get behind a man that has been compromised then do so, that is your prerogative. What a “good cause” is, is subjective to each person.

THE BEST WAY TO PUNISH FOX IS TO MAKE SURE YOU DO NO WATCH THEIR CHANNEL. DON;T WATCH HANNITY, OR O’RIELLY, OR ANY OTHER FOX NEWS SHOW, OR ANY OTHER SHOW ON FOX, THAT IS HOW YOU GET YOUR MESSAGE ACROSS TO FOX.

IF YOU HATE WHAT FOX IS ABOUT, BUT YOU WATCH IT ANYWAY, THEN YOU ARE STILL GIVING THEM WHAT THEY WANT. YOU ARE IMPROVING THEIR RATINGS, AND THAT ENDS UP WORKING IN FOX CHANNELS FAVOR, AND DOES NOTHING TO PUNISH THE RACISTS FOR THEIR BEHAVIOUR.

JOUST AS YOU DON’T GO SHOP IN THE STORE OWNED BY A RACIST, YOU SHOULD NOT WATCH A T.V CHANNEL WHICH EMPLOYS RACISTS!

I am so proud of our brave young warrior rapper men, who are barely out of their boyhood standing up like the heroes they are. It is so unfortunate that the so-called upstanding, so called respectable old fools with money are nothing but lackadaisical, selfish cowards who care nothing about the suffering masses. They stand for nothing except enriching themselves, and it is a disgrace they are allowed to critique the entire black community. That ignut charles barkely had the nerve to be talking about blacks being irresponsible, and this fool loses more money in vegas than most black families will save in a life time. He could have fed hundreds of homeless children for a year on that $50,000 he lost in Vegas. Now who is the fool??? I hope Bush strips all of the fools of that affirmative action money before he gets out of office.

If u got the CD you’d understand why he wanted to call it Ni@@er. The man is allowed to express himself and call a CD what he wants. The name of the album does not take away from the fact that there is a message behind the music, which is what really counts.

It is about time that someone stood up to Fox News… and expeciallly Hannity he is the worst… you can tell he don’t like Obama and he should be called out.. the only thing he can come up with Obama is Rev Wrigh, Aries, and what Michelle said. By now if there was something on Obama it would have came out now

But you go Nas and all the other organications, I wish I could have signed the pepetiion…

Good Job
