New York rapper Nas has joined a protest against FOX News.
Citing what he calls “race baiting” and “Obama smears” by FOX, Nas will join ColorOfChange.org and MoveOn.org to deliver more than 620,000 petition signatures demanding that the network end its “pattern of racist attacks against black Americans,” among them presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.
In a statement to media, Nas, ColorOfChange.org and MoveOn.org announced the petition will be delivered to FOX’s Manhattan offices on July 23 at 2 p.m. ET.
In joining the protest, Nas cites FOX’s portrayal of the Obamas as outsiders, as well as an on-screen graphic referring to Michelle Obama as “Obama’s baby mama” and the confusing of Obama and Osama by a pundit, who joked that they should both be assassinated. In February, Bill O’Reilly talked about a “lynching party” to deal with Michelle Obama.
“FOX poisons the country with racist propaganda and tries to call it news,” Nas said in the statement.
Poisons the country? Oh you mean when they released the tape of Jesse Jackson calling Obama a nigger, and threatening to cut off his balls? Or how you were going to call you album “Nigger” but instead called it “Untitled,” because of pressure from Jackson and the NAACP?  Or as MM point out:
Wait a minute. Portraying the Obamas as outsiders is racist?
Isn’t that how the Obamas want to be portrayed?
The “baby mama” back story is here. And the background on Liz Trotta’s comments is here. As for O’Reilly, he was actually defending Michelle Obama. But never mind.
And regarding Obama/Osama confusion, will Nas and his grievance-mongering legions be targeting Dan Rather and the many other left-wing media members of the Osama/Obama club next?
What up?
Shall we talk about how rappers degrade woman and have made this generation of young men think that black on black crime is a matter of respect and not ignorance? Shall we talk about how ignorant it is to think that ‘Nigger’ can be used as a term of endearment by one group but considered a vile racist insult if used by another group?
I guess the dumbass didn’t get this message:
He’s an eigth grade dropout and according to this Wiki entry:
Nasir Jones (born September 14, 1973), better known by his stage name Nas, formerly Nasty Nas, is a nigger.

GS DA GETO$UPA,
You are simply a lost soul and I’m sorry to see it. I would not spend a day in anyone’s “hood” because I work hard to be able to not live in a hell hole. I don’t settle… as in settle for less. I want more and I earn it. I don’t live in a “hood” no – nor do I celebrate living in a “hood”. I get up every day and go out and work for my family…our future. Change your attitude, Change your life, or flounder brother….
