White Jewish NYC rapper disses Obama, Luda

E-Shy disses Obama, Ludacris

This is an interesting video, or a collage of images/videos with an audio track layed over it from a NYC based white Jewish rapper, E-Shy goes in on Obama's policies, Obama's deflection from the issues, and makes a strong argument to why he shouldn't be president. Of course, like all rappers, E-Shy attacks Obama's manhood, and even goes after Michelle Obama. Its good to see hip-hop getting political again.

Colorofchange.org vs. Fox News

Nas delivers Fox News a message to their headquarters. The message is a petitions signed by over 600, 000 people claiming that Fox News spews propaganda and has been racist to the Obama family and to African Americans. The prime target in this speech by Nas is that of popular Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly; O'Reilly and Nas had some beef before as O'Reilly got Nas barred from performing at a Virgina Tech memorial concert a few years ago - inciting that Nas was a 'gangsta rapper'. So I am sure Nas jumped at the opportunity to stick it to O'Reilly.

Nas also disses Fox News and O'Reilly on his latest album 'Untitled' with the song 'Sly Fox'



What is more alarming than Fox News, Bill O'Reilly, and the rest of the 'reporters' they have, is the fact that Fox News have a huge following, so Fox is effectively 'supplying' a 'demand'. And if the 'demand' knows that the supply is fulled with hate/racist attitudes, then the 'demand' group really needs to be looked at it - and feared.

Obama this, Obama that

Obama This, and Obama That



I'm all for the notion that it would be 'nice' to finally have a black U.S. President. To even be talking about a black U.S. president shows that society has grown enormously in the past 50 years; because not so long ago, blacks were still being lynched and according to funnyman Kramer "stuck with pitch forks up their asses". It is quite amazing actually when you really think about it. However, Obama seems to have a very legitimate chance of getting the U.S. Democratic nomination for the 2008 election, and then, he may have a chance to get into the White House.

No more rudimentary jokes about a black president can be made, however, I feel that one must ask the question, what will really change if there is a black president? Really? Will all the ghetto black youths suddenly move to the suburbs, causing the white kids to move to farm lands? Will there be more social programs? Social welfare assistance? I hear a lot of talk that if elected, a black president will 'look' out for black people, but I find a fallacy in such logic. If Obama gets in, doesn't mean that the current socio-economic status of black americans will change; one thing that we gotta understand is that even if the president is Black, the Senate still is predominately white - correlating that the senate actually passes any bills and/or spending. Further, any president has to 'play' to his party and their ideals; thus if one's party is still predominately white, the likelihood that a dramatic bill will be passed that will 'magically' elevate the socio-economic status of blacks is bleak.

So unfortunately, I remain pessimistic that a black president will have any strong effect - except for the symbolism aspect that society has changed dramatically, but as the saying says:
"The more things change, the more they stay the same"

... but it would be nice if he got in office
