Rants mean nothing.
When are black people going to spend time and money on their rants? It's obvious a lot of them say the same got damn things over and over. But instead of providing a way "using their money" they tell us to "don't rely on the government". Fuuck wrong with them? Words and rants never make changes for the better. YOU HAVE TO SACRIFICE what belongs to you in order for people to take you serious. There has not been ONE of these rich or wealthy enough entertainers to even try and do something with the money that benefits what they rant about.
@bandcoach the "african slave trade" is the correct reference in this context, people (non-scholars) rarely reference a specific country/area (ivory coast, gold coast, etc.) when speaking about that period that lead to the bondage of millions of Africans. I say this acknowledging that the trade occurred in specific parts, but the act is labeled content wide in common discourse.
Its so sad that someone who had the potential to be one of the greats has fallen so far. Yes the irs cannot be ignored (unfortunately so many celebs find this out the hard way).
She's just madd, ain't got nothing to do with race. No one to blame but herself (well maybe wyclef).
Similarities Between the Jewish and the Black Holocausts
Good to see you had to time on your hands to comment Jean, tushay (no need for a lecture on the word, context is everything).Nicely formulated, but still wrong. The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade is the actual term to be used, to distinguish it from the Trans-Saharan Slave Trade, the inner-African slave trade led by the invading Muslims for almost 800 years, before a single European set a foot on African land to buy a slave. It is often forgotten, especially by Uncle Toms from the Nation of Islam scam, that the raping and destruction of African cultures and states has been going on for centuries, in the most brutal form, before the "evil white man" came to Africa. We have talked about this a dozen times here on FP and I've been mentioning it constantly; compared to what the Muslims done in Africa, the Europeans were angels.
The difference is, that colonialism took place MUCH later in Africa and the slaves were bought and transported to another place to work. So a re-settling took place and a FUNCTIONING SLAVE-SALES SYSTEM was already in place in Western Africa.
The Europeans didn't come to convert the slaves (or castrate them and then rape their women and sell them into prostitution), they came for work-force. As bad as that is, it is morally levels above destroying the whole cultures, exterminating languages and whole tribes and forcing those who just saw their father and brothers being beheaded, to become some Arab Muslims sex-slave.
African-Americans still have to learn A LOT about the evil that took place on the African continent even BEFORE the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
You know what the difference is as well? You won't see an American or an English man or a French dude deny that slavery took place, nope. Who teaches you about slavery? Who is honest enough about their own crimes and mistakes, to share them with you? Yup, the Evil White Men.
An Arab will lie to you or claim he hasn't heard about anything of that sort. You know, Muslims are always innocent, right?
Now ask a German about the Holocaust. If the Nazis killed Jews or not. If he admits it or not.
Now ask a Turk about the Armenian Genocide....................NOW you will understand.
That's the same ***** that after some magazine told her that 90% of her buyers are white girls/women, told the reporter that she doesn't want white people to listen to her music..................that was right after she got a big check performing at some rock festival with 99% white audience. LOL The fu**ing irony.
I have no respect for her, nor for Wyclef, who ran around and acted as if him saying "one time, two time" with a fake Patois accent (and he ain't Jamaican) MADE "Killing me softly" the hit that it was. They both were toxic to each other and it was only multiplied by the galactic size of both their EGOS.
The only cool dude from the camp was Pras. Then again, he has an Ivy League education (LOL, yup, of all the people, Pras is the uppity black over-achiever LOL).
So **** her and **** her lifestyle. Pay your taxes *****.
Good to see you had to time on your hands to comment Jean, tushay (no need for a lecture on the word, context is everything).
I thought she went to Columbia?
Hey Coach Antonio, do you need a Bible lecture from the local atheist again?
Look up what "Holocaust" means, in the Biblical context. There was no "Black Holocaust".
Holocaust refers SPECIFICALLY to "burnt offerings" (for Yahwe was always a perv who liked the smell of burning flesh)
or killing someone with fire.
The Talmudic reference for the Holocaust is the "prophecy" of the almost-extinction of the Jews before "the end of days",
the Shoa.
For organized mass-murders, we use the term "genocide" or "attempted genocide", where such action was stopped.
to me it just seemed like she just really didn't want to pay taxes and needed some scapegoat
