I feel kinda of sad to be talking about this on a day some would call the most Historic in Black History. Today January 21, 2013 the day we swear in the First African-American President into his second term and the birthday of Martin Luther King an idiot has to try to make a statement. The last term of Obama has been plagued by skeptics who claim in no other terms that he can not handle the highest office in the land. So called conservatives and political hacks criticize his every move.
My focus of the next few blogs is going to be on the so-called Obama critics. Lupe Fiasco is catching some heat for his anti-Obma rant at a concert last night. The net has been ablaze all day with things like, what about freedom of speech? or why can’t you disagree with this President? or If you speak out against the King you’re a racist. Well all of that is wrong! You can speak out against this and any other President or any other elected official. My problem with a lot of these people is their timing!
Let’s take Lupe. I searched back ten years and the only rants i can find are those against Obama. The trouble with his rant is it seems to only apply to the first African-American President.
Lupe has said in one interview that Obama is the biggest terrorist in the world! He claims Americas foreign policy is what drives terror acts across seas. Let’s look at that, give us an example Lupe, give me one example of one policy that President Obama put into place that caused an attack. Ok let me start, you can’t! The twin towers were attacked under Bush, the US Cole was attacked under Clinton, I can go on. The bombing of the Marine barracks in Africa, vast terrorist attacks in India, Lebanon, London, the bombing of an airplane.
You also commented on the Israieli-Palestineain conflict. Well guess what Lupe that like the many other conflicts I just mentioned were well before Obama got into politics. In fact it was the British who created this problem. A little history lesson, the Jews didn’t have any land in the area until 1947, Obama was a kid!
You claim you don’t vote because you dot not want to be part of the establishment, but you’re a rapper with a record deal! There is no bigger establishment then the music industry.
The bottom line Lupe is you’re a fraud, and a fake. You only did what you did to get your name in the papers. It’s sad that because your career is winding down you would choose to attack the President. I don’t know what’s worst ? The fact that you can’t support your rant with facts, or that you remained silent during the tenure of white Presidents.
