Nas will deliver a petition bearing 600 000 signatures to Fox at 2 p.m. in Manhattan demanding an end to racist attacks against Black Americans.
Joining activists from MoveOn.org and ColorOfChange.org today as they march on Fox News headquarters in Manhattan, the hip hop star will demand that the conservative network end what protesters call a “pattern of racist attacks against Black Americans including presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.”
The groups criticize Fox’s overall approach to news but singled out a few specific examples including: a reference to Michelle as “Obama’s baby mama,” saying that Barack and Michelle’s fist pound had been called a “terrorist fist jab,” a commentator confusing “Obama” with “Osama” and then joking about assassinating both and Bill O’Reilly using the term “lynch party” while criticizing Michelle for comments she made about being proud of America.
Says James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org: “When Fox talks about lynching the woman who may soon be our first lady and then refers to this wife and mother as a ‘baby mama,’ they are maligning not only the Obamas, but black women and black people across this country.”

Good for you Nas! Fuck Fox…bunch of red-neck hillbillies…especially that fuck-face sean hannity. I would like to get my hands on him!
i read an article today i believe it was on fox or cnn, where they have stated that in the last 60 years that black military officers are rare. Best known among the four-stars is retired Gen. Colin Powell, who later became the country’s first black secretary of state, under President Bush.
I dont understand why black men/woman wont do something for their country…..Instead of breaking it down and living in the past. They are the ones keeping the past in today.
They are the most racist people know today.
They just want to keep themselves down and for what reason? to keep on blaming you and I?
I dont understand.
That sucks, Barack is trying to change the out look on black Americans, I hope he is able to change the stero type.
Fox has gotten away with racist/sexist commenting forever. While I certainly stand up for free speech, they also must be aware of the consequences and our right to oppose racist/sexist views. Its time someone hit Fox in the wallet. It’s simple. Stop watching Fox television.
Obama is nothing but talk. He has nothig on his “resume” to state anything different people. Nothing.
But, once again its okay if she calls whites “whities”, and so forth.
Hate to tell you this, but we have lowered standards in order for blacks to do better. Look at the testing in schools. It has been reported all over on radio stations that the IOWA Tests were changed in order for blacks to get better grades.
Not all white people are racist. It just seems that way because the white people who are not racist are just sick of things being given or changed to suit people because of the color of their skin (regardless of what color it is). It is supposed to be EQUAL rights, not “I am black and had ancestors who were slaves, so I DESERVE ________— (fill in the blank)”. Try EARNING what you get!
Who ever you are ANON, you are a dumbass for what you just said. Do a little more research before you speak on something.
What Obama doesn’t tell you, and what the biased media WON’T tell you about his plan, is that about one third of the 47 million uninsured he plans to cover at taxpayer expense are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS that shouldn’t be here in the first place. By the way, remember that he also wants to give them driver’s licenses.
Talk about selling out our country for a partisan political advantage!
I have to agree with post number 5.
EARN IT.
FabChick must be on her period, already cussing people out…
Why dont you research it, You fabchick you.
I bet he thinks he can change water into wine and raise the dead too. At the least, his sheeple baaaalieve he can. LOL!
Who’s going to march on MSN of its “Let’s Get B. Hussein Obama Elected” 24/7 coverage. The most biased person on tv is Keith Olberman by far. 80% of all journalists identify themselves as liberal. So one station gives America the other side of the coin, what’s wrong with that?? If you don’t like it, turn the channel. Almost all Fox News programs win their time slots though so someone must be watching.
Where was the march to NBC after Dan Rather got caught manufacturing “evidence” and ended up losing his job because of it??
If you really want to talk about bias in the media…
Why is EVERY news achor on tv now in Iraq covering Hussein Obama’s pilgrimage to his homeland? How many covered the MANY trips McCain has taken?? ZERO!! …that is biased media coverage.
If America wants to elect a man who hates the US and has 1 and 1/2 years experience in the Senate, then by all means, cast your vote.
jrb (high 5 man/chick)
I dont understand why people would vote for someone that has nothing on his “resume” (post #5)…because he doesnt.
McCain will get the shaft on the things he has done, and gone to visit. The media is VERY liberal, even this blog is.
I think its funny that Obama has so much media, but yet they are not saying shit about his hometown that he visited either.
Good Point jrb.
The racism and fear in the US is just amazing to me. I am Canadian and we have black, white, Indian, Asian, Latino leaders at all levels of government (we have even had a women Prime Minister before). For a country that is supposed to be a leader, it is sad to see that the US is still stuck in the 50’s. With the exception of the states of California and New York, the rest of the country just seems incredibley uneducated. You folks need Mr. Obama more than he needs you. By his election to the highest office in the land, you will once again prove that America is great and not just a bunch KKK members without the masks!!!
Canadian Eh, since you just “generalized” 250 million people, including me. Let me generalize you and your post.
You’re as dumb as a hockey puck!
#2, who is probably She Rides a Harley aka She is White Trash, you need to shut the fuck up until you know what you’re talking about. The article about the officers was highlighting racial discrimination in the military. Black people are 12% of the population, yet make up 17% of the military and only 9% of officers, so what the FUCK are you talking about when you ask why blacks won’t do something for their country? Blacks have fought in EVERY war since the American Revolution, while they were fucking SLAVES, and you have the audacity to ask why they won’t serve their country? Ungrateful piece of racist shit. You have no idea what black soldiers have endured while in battle only to come home and have it piled on even more. The best thing my wonderful black grandfather ever did was to draft dodge and he taught all my uncles, brothers and cousins that they have no buisness enlisting and i’m PROUD to say that I have no family members serving in the military.
Hey, Luella
Dont be blaming shit on me you cunt face douche bag drinker.
Got it?
If not, then you want my fucking address, and come over for dinner sometime?
I am far from white trash.
Do you want to know what race I am?
Then fucking ask, but it doesnt matter what color I am.
You have already said that I am white trash - - Your a racist bigot.
You must be a cracker, claiming to be black.
Thats sad, that your PROUD that your grandfather dodge the draft.
Im sure you enjoy your freedom huh?
Then thank MY FATHER, Grandfather, and his father before him, my husband, my son, and my daughter (just signed up) to protect DODGERS like you and yours.
Im glad that my family put their lives on the war line, to keep you and your free and and in America.
Shut your fucking crying then, because in my book and others, YOU have no right to fucking even breath.
Your family has SHOWN then, they are NOT proud to be an American!
==
AND I dont care what shitty things you have to say to me,you or others.
Im right.
The lowest known form of life after terrorists and before residents of Idaho’s Portugal. A draft dodger is an American who doesn’t have enough balls to defend his country, so he runs away to Canada to avoid being drafted.
Luella, how’s the free ride treatin your fam? The answer to your question about blacks in the military is simple. There is no affirmative action in the Armed Forces, so you actually have to earn what you get. Which is much different than the freedom your family currently enjoys. Any more PROUD family traits being passed down that you want to share with us?
This is the same guy that wears a “n*****” shirt and placed it as a title of his album.
That fool needs to shut the hell up. He is a nobody that hasn’t had a hit record in years. I bet he has not watched half an hour of Fox News to make that judgment. He has MoveOn.org on his side, the same site that lambastes our soldiers as murderers.
That is one dumb jerk.
Luella, honey it is pointless. The people that comment on posts like this with there negativity are ignorant and have no idea what it is like to walk in our shoes. I will apologize for call whoever that was a dumbass, i should have never stooped to your level.

She rides a Harley, love your comments agree 100%! Luella, you make America and Blacks look bad, I said it yesterday, get off your high horse thinking we owe you something, your family has done nothing but live off of the freedom that others have fought for, My white ancesters fought in the civil war to free your ancesters and some of them died for your freedom, that your jackass grandpa ran from. I am proud to say my father in the past, and cousins and nephews are fighting for right now. Also, my dad was in Vietnam and he got treated like Sh*t when he came home also, it’s not a black or white thing. Learn your American history! and shut the F*ck up!
Or better yet why don’t all of you get a real history book (not the ones used in schools that convinently cuts out black history) and find out what we’ve done for OUR country.
Fab Chick, what have you done?
Do you all really think I give a shit about what your families did? I didn’t write my comment so that we could all compare our family military history. Of course you’d be proud of their service, what else have you got to lay your hat on? Why would my grandfather born in 1921 go off to fight for a country where he wasn’t allowed to eat in 75% of the restaurants in his hometown or swim in the community pool or VOTE because of his skin color. He was a REAL man who stood up for something and I will be passing on the same sentiment to my children in honor of him.
Why would my grandfather born in 1921 go off to fight for a country where he wasn’t allowed to eat in 75% of the restaurants in his hometown or swim in the community pool or VOTE because of his skin color.
THIS IS THE QUESTION OF THE DAY. WHY DON’T ONE OF YOU ANSWER IT?
Luella and Anonymous what relevance would someone’s race have to do with abstaining from serving in WW 2? If your grandfather felt oppressed in the U.S. then he should have had more interest in promoting freedom in the rest of the world because he should have been able to empthasize with Europeans.
On another note, Fox didn’t criticize Michelle Obama for being proud to be an American they criticized her because she said that when Barack became the presumptive democratic nominee it was the first time that she was proud to be an American.
where is barack’s UNFORGED birth certificate, why hasn’t it been released YEARS ago and WHY don’t any of you care?
Nas’s album is already number one on TRL!!!! Eat bitches!!
isn’t TRL mtv? isn’t mtv where the racist (whites) hicks of america tune in?
why isn’t it only on apartheid BET?
besides, nas hasn’t been hot since illmatic in like ‘95
***George Soros the billionaire’s money at work****
Since when does NAS have any credibility ???
Luella, because he was an american and they best way to be racism is with pride in who you are as a person, and lIke I said, this country was almost destroyed to free the slaves. That is why people will continue to stay were they are and be stero typed until they pull themselves up. There a lot of whites who are tralier trash, and they will remainthere until they deside to work hard and pull themselves up, same is for the blacks living in the ghettos. In America you can be anything you want to be, hell look at Oprah, Barrack, Condalizza, Colin Powel, Bill Cosby, all of these people were in the ghetto growing up and they pulled themselves up and took the ghetto out of them, that is why they are were they are today, and because of military service of black and white Americans.
GEORGE SOROS
Media matters and most of the nutroots are funded by this billionaire. Last election he spent 40 MILLION dollars into electing a democrat. Wonder how miuch he has spent this election so far ??????
^^^that was supposed to be beat racism!
GEORGE SOROS
ALSO FUNDS THE OPEN BORDERS CROWD.
YOU KNOW THE ONE ORG. ONE WORLD ONE GOVT. .
READ “SHADOW PARTY”.
Luella/Anonymous…why would you be proud to carry on your grandfather’s “wonderful tradition” when times have completely changed?? Why would you want to carry that forward when that “wonderful tradition” is based on something that is not happening anymore? Are you more comfortable living in the past & playing the victim?? Is that easier than forgiving & moving forward?? Is it easier to cry out for sympathy & how wrong you’ve been done than to step up to the plate & operate in the real world with all of the freedoms & advantages within your reach?
Luella…it is you who are perpetuating your supposed situation by passing it down to your kids. I hope you’re happy that they will keep the hate going.
and when they sigh dont forget those white women who date black men that would be a long list in it self!!!
me is a dumb racist as*hole so dont even argue with this slum face twig!!!
