Here's a sick take on our society. This guy is a freakin' joke. I hope that he never sells another record. Pretty hypocritical of him to talk about oppression. He's made millions of dollars off his albums. Only in America.
Here's his response.
Not sure how anyone felt a "sense of justice" on that day. Despicable.
This is wrong on so many levels its difficult to pick a starting point. The most obvious fallacy of the statement is that only rich white people died during the attack on the towers. I recently saw a British documentary on two groups of persons who made it out of the Towers, one from the north tower and one of the south towers. One of the more poignent stories was that of a black security guard who was on the street trying to reach his supervisor on the radio, who was of Puerto Rican desecent, and whom the guard regarded as a role model to him. His supervisor had stayed behind with an injured office worker to wait for the fire department to come but did not make it out before the tower collapsed. He continued to call him on the radio until another supervisor came on and told him he should go home. I don't know how you could hear a story like that without realizing that these attacks affected people from all walks of life. I also don't know how someone could be so full of hate for his country and fellow citizens that he would rejoice over the death of over three thousand innocent persons.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing that is remarkable about his comments is that a time when the Democrats are apparently prepared to make false claims of voter intimidation against the Republican Party (see Drudge and Rocky Mountain News), a man who presumably has a vehicle to reach a large number of Afrian-American and minority voters, tells them they shouldn't even attempt to vote because the system is corrupt. How can you ever defeat that kind of thinking?
