Celebrities speak up

For those of you who missed Wednesday night's Colbert Report (busy crying) there was an interesting piece of the joke of a news network, Fox News.


Fox News Racist? Here's another college of clips:


I am not a fan of Fox News, I may not hate them as much as this guy, but none the less, it is a joke of a network. I agree with what point Nas and Color of Change is trying to do. However, I am not a fan of celebrities that try to extend their reach to social and political issues, especially ones outside their reach. If Nas really wants to fight this battle, he has to watch his every move and understand that everything he does, especially anything that has to do with race, will be under the microscope and open to the public to analyze. So he does need to address his past growing up in Brooklyn and he does need to defend his lyrics. I do understand that his lyrics are just that, lyrics, and not all of his lyrics are vulgar. I also think he is being a hypocrite by saying that Fox News is racist (which they are) and then he goes around and wants to name his new album the N-word . You can't have it both ways if you really want to fight this battle.

Also did they actually think just bringing all these signatures to Fox News would change them. The next day they would just apologize and change everything that they stand for. Come on. Their hatred runs deeper than that.

Nas ended the show with this performance of a new song bashing Fox News. It's lyrics are actually pretty good and make a good point against Fox News.

Update: For some reason Comedy Central took down the Interview with Nas and his performance of the song off. Interesting....
Here is the song on Youtube:
