Am I the only one who thought that Alicia Keys hit it right on the money? I mean, is it really such a far-fetched idea that the people who control this country (and keep it within their order) fear the uprising of the people? I’ve always felt that the way in which powerful countries are set up is that the people in charge (who want to retain their control) seek to keep the lower classes “in check” by denying access to education, proper healthcare and relative safety, while funneling in weapons and drugs to stir them up and distract them with their own self-destruction. Not to mention, they dumb us all down with the constant bombardment of mindless “entertainment” and skewed news.
Meanwhile, conscientious people who raise questions and doubt get labeled as “crazy liberals”, “conspiracy theorists”, “terrorists”, “anti-Semites”, “self-hating Jews”, “Commies” and so on. Tupac was speaking the truth on lots of his songs, such as ‘Words of Wisdom’ in which he said: “I don't get it, so many questions run through my mind/ I get sweated, they act like asking questions is a crime/.” Preach!
Is it really too much of a stretch to believe that his assassination was orchestrated with intent by people in power? Chris Rock has asked this before, and I’ll ask it again: why is it that all the rappers’ deaths are never investigated? These are important questions to ask. And I’m put off by the idiots who would equate this questioning with being paranoid or a conspiracy theorist. If I were to tell you that AIDS was invented in a laboratory to kill people, would you believe me? Probably not! You’ve bought the whole “it came from a monkey” story. I refuse to settle for that BS. If you refuse to be a skeptic in this regard, I implore you to do a little research project of your own. Google the following: “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male”. See what you find! Your eyes have been opened! Personally, I believe that chemically-induced crack cocaine was put into the poor communities to create chaos and destruction (not to mention to fund illegal wars as Nahshon pointed out in the comments section). It’s not too different from what the Tuskegee study was all about. Likewise, I’ve always felt that gangsta rap was verbal crack: not only do they intertwine in culture and in practice, but they even produce the same effects.
Tupac made it a point to say that he was not a gangster and that his music was not gangsta rap. This is why he was such a threat. Tupac was a threat to these peoples’ order of control. Martin Luther King Jr. was a threat. And now in the ‘08, Barack Obama is giving them quite a reason to fear. He’s been attacked by both the right and the fake-left.
He must be on to something.
And Alicia Keys was on to something as well. I’m glad she said what she said.

P.S. Shouts to JSmooth for his like-minded coverage on the topic.
Dude, I like the content you post, but this is retarded. YES, it is a gigantic "stretch" to think that the government killed Tupac. The only people the (mostly black) urban poor pose a threat to is themselves. It's in everyone's interest to see these people do better, unfortuantely there's no simple solution. The black family is broken thanks to a history of repression and "crazy liberals" added to the problem by getting them hooked on government handouts - thus destroying the black family and work ethic in one fell swoop.
ReplyDeletedude: I'd like to hear your response to the Tuskegee Study (which has been confirmed as fact, not theory).
ReplyDeleteBeing "hooked on handouts" is a condition of the culture created by a combination of injecting drugs into poor communities while simultaneously selling those poor people the "American Dream" through media.
ReplyDeleteThe fact of the matter is that these people don't conspire to kill black and poor people because they hate them, they continuously screw the black community because they don't care. They don't view poor black people as people, they are simply pawns to be bargained with. I'll give you an example while you Google the Tuskegee study. Type in: Iran-Contra scandal. Thats basically a 3-way trade in which the government found itself allowing people to sell drugs in the US to raise money for guns in a war that we couldn't officially be involved in. Who did they sell them to? Black people of course. But they're too poor for cocaine. Solution: Crack.
When people wake up and realize how they are the constant scapegoats, they are going to be very upset. I dont think it's in the government's best interest for that to happen, so its not in their best interest to educate black people to those facts.
"... added to the problem by getting them hooked on government handouts ..."
ReplyDeleteHandouts like welfare programs and Affirmative Action, both of which benefit white women more so than any other types of citizens? Yeah, right, GTFO of here.
You got it guys! ;-D
ReplyDeleteGiven how much you know about the historical abuse of power, what exactly do you expect Obama to change?
ReplyDeleteI expect him to change the political landscape to any extent possible. I expect him to elevate the country's consciousnes. I expect him to bring in Supreme Court justices who will be fair and balanced (and not in the Faux News sense). I expect him to end the war by the end of his first term. Most of all, I expect him to be the new face of America, both to its citizens and the citizens of the world.
ReplyDeleteIt should also be noted that much of Reverend Wright's speeches bare an eerie resemblance to those of the Rev. Dr. King's more assailing words.
ReplyDeleteVery well written article. To comment on the crack / cocaine piece, wasn't it the C.I.A. that played a major role into smuggling cocaine into US territory during the Vietnam War? Or is this just more conspiracy theory bullshit? Just wondering, as I've heard & seen video reports about these accusations.
ReplyDeleteI don't know shit about US politics, but props Ivan, that's real talk.
ReplyDelete*Googles Tuskegee Study*
gangsta rap a conspiracy? that is so retarded. she must be fucking retarded. she acts like gangster rap ruined the black community when there was violence, drugs, and gangs decades before gangster rap. gangster rap was bred in that violence. and a lot of times the early gangsta rap artists showed remorse for what they seen or have done. and preached education and not following in their footsteps.
ReplyDeletepop and fucking this materialist jay-z, pharrell, p. diddy shit hurt our community more. they're selling us a lifestyle our people can't afford. why doesn't anyone get on them about that? which keeps our people poor and indebt and spending more outside of our community than any other race.
it's capitalism. as malcolm said our people are manuevered into these vices so that we remain a servant, a boy. we're kept uneducated so we can't get better jobs. and plus people act like there are 300 million jobs for 300 million people. since there aren't. people have to do what they have to do to survive. capitalism is the conspiracy. capitalsim exploits our natural instinct to feed and clothe ourselves our natural instinct to survive.
then the government has this fake ass war on drugs, war on gangs, just to imprison almost one million of our people in legalized slavery. capitalism and the prison industrial complex are the issue. not fucking gangster rap or movies or fucking crackers calling us niggers. it's the system!! the system is corrupt so as long as we're using it we're going to keep getting shitted on as proof by 400 plus years of oppression.
