Wow, this guy is about as dumb as they come. Is this supposed to be some psuedo-intellectual insight. People actually go out and buy this crap? I guess if your 14 and you have a chip on your shoulder and you just want to piss off your parents.
He just ended up looking like a completely ignorant version of what his T-shirt said.
I think he is referring to the Voting Right Act of 1965. It was renewed for 25 years in 2006 by the man who does not like black people according to Kanye West, George Bush. Most of the changes in election law that it provided were permanent but some have to be renewed from time to time. Basically, it the provisions of that law that call for multilingual ballots and translators. These are not provided by the federal government and can be quite a financial burden on some districts. I don’t think Nas has anything to worry about though, the extension passed by like 300 votes in 2006.
The word “nigger” has been around for a long time.
While it has been suggested that the word should be removed from our vocabulary, mainly by the black population, I find it to be particularly useful. Funny how the meaning of the word has changed over the years —— kind of like the word “gay” which meant a state of happines (at least when I was a kid)and not “queer”. Blacks call me “cracker”, “whitey” and a few other terms but it hasn’t hurt my feelings one bit. People need to stop feeling sorry for themselves and just move on in life. By the same token, there is no such thing as “African-American”. Your either one or the other. If you don’t want to be an American, then please leave, you won’t be missed.
…what?…
I think Obama should use some of Naz’s songs from his upcomming album.
what is he talking about with “Abolishing this thing” that won’t let black people vote in 23 years?
Was that Kelis? Well, anyway, she is right. John Lennon could use it, why can’t NAS. And it isn’t about the word. It’s a much bigger issue at hand. People need to pay attention. People need to take charge…and stop being suckers.
I have no idea what the hell he was talking about. And she didn’t exactly say the word “nigger,” she quoted the name of a song. Why is this a story? Journalists are Big Brother.
What in the hell is he talking about. Blacks can’t vote in 23 years? He says he doesn’t know about the war. Can he read? I am tired of blacks using the term ‘nigger’ as some kind of badge aand being angry when whites use it. What a self-absorbed loser.
With quotes like “discriminated on” and “Das been done”,
man, does NAS stand for:
Not
A-lick-of
Sense
???
The T-Shirt don’t lie folks.
He said people are being discriminated ‘on’… So he has trouble with verbs. Whatever. I find it FAR more interesting how he says that the SOLDIERS in Iraq are “discriminated on” because they are getting “their heads blown off” for “reasons we dont even understand why” …
Does he actually think for a minute that WE think he has any intellectual authority to speak of such things??? Does he dare think for a split second that WE think he knows ANYTHING about the world? ANYTHING about discrimination? Can he spell it?
Typical self-absorbed, self-indulgent air-breather. The word nigger is just a stupid word. If there was a definition it should be this:
nigger (noun): 1: Term applied to one who does not fear their own lack of intelligence. 2: Applied to individual of any race or religion who espouses virtues they themselves do not possess or practice. 3: Term applied to any lesser intellect author of talking music ["rap"] whose lyrics idolize violence, usually by equating it with some wistful concept of ’survival’ or ‘honor’.
Anybody have a clue what he’s talking about, “Black people won’t be able to vote in 23 years”?????
A democracy cannot work unless a certain percentage of the population is sufficiently educated so that they can assess, analyze, and make informed decisions.
The USA is rapidly heading down the road to where ignorance and illiteracy render us ungovernable. Thank you NEA
Black people won’t be able to vote in 23 years
If only.
I’m for an amendment saying – no job, no vote. All these scum laying around on welfare vote demo everytime because the demos promise more for those who do less.
NO JOB, NO VOTE.
Very typical behavior, considering the source. Kids – CRACK KILLS.
*yawn*
rap and hip hop sucks anyway.
YES! YES! So glad to see a young black man stand up and try to educate society at large. I mean, come on people, we should all be listening to the meaningful message that Nas is trying to educate us on, right? So what if he was a drop-out in the 9th grade? I mean, I’m certain he has read every word and understands the fine details of the Voting Rights Act.
To me, this exemplifies a huge problem within the black community – to many people take their cues from morons like Nas and Kanye West, all the while bashing folks that actually care. Take Bill Cosby. His message is simple – take responsibility and get an education – yet he is denounced at every opportunity by these gang banging little thugs because, oh my God, they might actually have to use the muscle between their ears!
I’m ready for the next East Coast/West Coast war. Reading about these idiots shooting each other is the only thing newsworthy about their “art”.
Racism as people of color know it will never go away as long as they keep using the N-word. Thank God that Al and Jacksunnnnnnn are popping up less and less. As long as people keep claiming that racism is not dead- it NEVER will be. As soon as some people of color stop capitalizing off of it, then it will start to truly go away.
Matter of fact, one of the Jena Six who had relocated here to Dallas beat up some kid in school and got arrested the other day- I didn’t see Jesse or Al here speaking out about THAT. Go figure.
I don’t know that the guy is so stupid – he is going to make millions by exploiting the word “Nigger” and the media is going to help him by showing us how terrible it is over and over agin. And while rolling in his piles of cash, he’ll be pretending he’s been descriminated against the whole time, which will help him make even more. It seems to me he’s got the media figured out and the associated fake guilt whites who never had slaves have for blacks who have never been slaves. A good businessman,IMHO.
For starts this guy could not even spell ignorant. Then you have the lady reporter, who keeps asking BS questions like: so… what kind of message are you trying make with your album? Oh, give me a break.
As long as getting ahead by working hard and going to school is “acting white†blacks will stay on the lower rungs of the employment ladder. That is not Bush’s fault, not the congress, not anyone but blacks, and their families with out fathers.
The odd part blacks will blame it all on whites. Everyone, whites backs and Hispanics pay for it. With higher taxes, and less people paying them.
As far as taking the rights of blacks to vote, the only people I know that happened to is the troops that are fighting for us over seas, when the Democrats tried not to count their absentee votes in Florida.
the solders in the war on terrorism are protecting the right for this braindead entertainer to wear that shirt and let his “wife” say those things. Let him wear that shirt in pre-war Iraq or his wife “just talk” without being covered, there would be no NAS… come to think of it..
I watched this clip and thought that this guy (and the reporter) are actually quite ignorant. The guy was spouting incredibly ignorant and very inaccurate information. Black will not be allowed to vote in 23 years?? Well, if he had any common sense in his head, he would have researched that little tid bit of MIS-information. It’s an urban legend. The 15th Amendment gives ALL citizens the right to vote. In 1965, President Johnson and Congress passed the Voting Rights Act, which was just an enforcement of the 15th Amendment. The Voting Rights Act is no longer needed. How can the rapper worry about his right to vote being taken away when Obama (obviously a BLACK man) is running for president? And has a really good chance of winning it! Seriously. His comment is just stupid and paranoid.
And the reporter? Why not call this guy on his ignorant comment? Instead, she just bobbed her head and smiled like a fool. The media is useless. Empty heads smiling.
Someone needs to give this rapper a library card or internet access so he can check his facts before he makes a fool of himself on national tv.
This was a pretty lame article. Kelis for starters is an important- recording artist in her own right . Im not sure that their little publicity stunt didn’t just make them look stupid as hell either. People shouldn’t be able to get any kind of financial or medical assistance from the state if they don’t vote. THE EVOLUTION IS BEING TELEVISED…
Wow…..when did he turn off the left side of his brain? He doesn’t make any sense, and he appears to be sober! “Nas”…….as in: Nas to be able to be so dumb, and have a job in entertainment bizniss.
Incredible !
“Most” of the people leaving comments here are 10 times as thoughtful and intellectual as Nas, and 5 times the blond boob job interviewing him.
CNN should hire some of you posters!
Stinking Canadians anyway.
There is one thing no one is talking about. The fact that people in a country which is supposed to be based on Christian beliefs, we continue to bash each other on any number of issues. The word “nigger” means different things to different people, I agree, but at any rate, it is offensive. It is offensive to the blacks when it is spoken by whites, AND it is offensive to whites that it can be spoken by blacks about themselves as some kind of “badge” all the while getting the media all hyped up about whites who say the word. The whole thing is ludicrous and un-Christian!
manyak fero…
