Answering Democrats Part 1

Every month starting today we will take questions from a Democrat here on HipHopRepublican.com today's question is about Iraq!

Question-"Iraq didn't attack us, why are we attacking them? Is it because Republicans are war mongers?

Answer -Germany, Italy, and the Ottoman Empire didn't attack us in WWII just Japan (a democrat president entered that war and dropped two Nukes) Korea didn't attack us (a democrat started that one too) Vietnam didn't attack us (should I mention a democrat started that war too) and Yugoslavia didn't attack us either
(yeah you guess it a Democrat started that one too)

Answer -Germany, Italy, and the Ottoman Empire didn't attack us in WWII just Japan (a democrat president entered that war and dropped two Nukes)

I refuse to believe anyone is this stupid

Of course republicans are hip hop how do you expect to bust a cap without a gun?

Yo people!  And before you reply with something dumb, you KNOW that your homeskoold ass would be voting for Fuckabee in November if he had gotten the nomination, so stfu.

Actually, while rare this isn't completely unheard of.  For example, while on UNCW campus registering voters a couple weeks back I was pretty surprised to register several black Republicans.  I'd say it was probably like 1 in 50 or less, but it happened.

[recursivelyenumerable]

That was standard-issue freeper rhetoric all through 2003.

[Eric P]

the site is well done and the content (aside from what i posted) is well thought out and delivered if "playing to the base" a bit (see the book review where the guy goes through the history of the democratic party's relation to blacks) and the angle they used to approach "is malcolm x a republican?" was less sensationalist that you would think.

my only bit of concern was that since they're a young black republican blog, they went hip hop.  well they don't really touch on that from what i read.

It's a mildly amusing blog, but it's no Nation of Islam Sports Blog.

oh hell yes

Clearly, as long as Negro fighters lace up their gloves and don boxing trunks, every time they enter the ring they will be fighting two opponents:

The boxer they signed to fight.

And the racism that is embedded in this society.

Where do you get this bullshit? I'm voting for the dem nominee, and even if my man Huck was on the republican ticket I wouldn't vote for him.

it's really disillusioning to discover that both parties are complicit with the Vial Rappers

The NOIS Message Extends Beyond Sports

Just wanted to take a quick moment to allow our cherished readers the opportunity to understand just how far reaching the NOIS movement that they support truly is.

The influence of our righteous teachings is taking on the look of an undeniable grass roots movement. While we have chosen our vessel of outreach to be that of sports to conduct our mission; clearly others have been reading our message and are now confident in using their celebrity to reach audiences even beyond our own formidable voice.

To wit: Alicia Keys.

Alicia Keys, 27, said she's read several Black Panther autobiographies and wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck "to symbolize strength, power and killing 'em dead.

While we aren't 'Black Panthers', we do undestand that a misinformed, mainstream AP wire writer can make an error. And while this is a blog, in a way, it is an autobiography of the NOIS movement.

We don't advocate violence of physicality, but we do condone the appreciable symbolism of Keys' AK-47. We advocate violently attacking the intellectual status quo and institutionalized closed mindedness that attempts to shackle our brilliance and artistry. A brilliance and artistry shared and appreciated by Keys.

"`Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. `Gangsta rap' didn't exist."

Think about this statement.

Certainly, it falls in line with much of what we profess here at NOIS. That the mainstream media is but a weapon aimed at the Negro by the establishment. The Negro is sighted in, the trigger is pulled...and center mass is often hit squarely. The damage has been great and the casualties have been many. But, all in all, though much blood has been lost, the soul of the Negro has not been extinguished.

And, as long as artist-philosophers like Keys are able to get the message out, the movement survives.

"the bicoastal feud between slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled "by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing.""

Indeed. What better way for the establishment to rid itself of great Negro minds than to turn them on each other. To pour kerosene on the fire. To ensure that these young up and coming leaders of the Negro community felt disrespected and threatened by each other. And, to ensure that weapons were readily available to them on the streets.

And, out of the poetry of the streets. Out of the attentive and sensitive stories told about the plight of the American Negro in the American ghetto. Out of the emotion. Out of the heartbreak. Out of the shame. Out of the sunshine. Out of the rain. Gangsta Rap!

Thrust onto us by the media. A term used to shackle the underclass. A descriptor meant to wholly castrate the message of the artist. Meant to take attention away from the poetry and the message of the struggle for self betterment and unity.

Our government built monuments in this country. Monuments designed to commemorate the horrid treatment of a group of people in Europe. They called it a 'holocaust'. People were tattooed with ID numbers. Labelled. Identified as different, and systematically they were processed for destruction. And the world remembers them and vows not to allow it to happen again. To happen anywhere.

But it is happening. Alicia Keys sees it happening. She sees a generation of people labelled and lined up for destruction. And she speaks out. Loudly.

Two potentially great leaders. Gunned down in their primes. Labelled as victims of their own creation. But gangsta rap wasn't their creation. It was created for them. It was created to terminate them.

It didn't exist. It doesn't exist. It can't exist.

Reality is what exists. And gangsta rap isn't reality. It is a made up term designed with a two fold purpose:

i. to contrive a criminal association in the minds of society between the poverty and the struggle that the artists communicate and the artist himself. By demonizing the artistic movement, the mainstream media effectively demonized the artist. Turning poets into inmates. And turning poverty and lack of opportunity into crime.

ii. to saddle the artists with what would become unmanageable personas. Treat a man like an animal. Tell him he is an animal. And he will become an animal. Or criminal. Then lock him up.

As Keys clearly insinuates, the mainstream would have us all believe that Negro poets are violent and carry weapons. But, Keys cleverly turns the tables on this: She has her AK pendent. But it doesn't symbolize the crime or violence the mainstream has forced on the movement. Her AK symbolizes her mind!

Certainly, a powerful mind is something that threatens White America.

And, certainly, a Negro with a powerful mind is something that the mainstream media makes sure sounds foreign to White America:

"Keys' AK-47 jewelry came as a surprise to her mother, who is quoted as telling Blender: "She wears what? That doesn't sound like Alicia."

Yet another instance of proof positive that White America has no interest in understanding the Negro.

But the day will come.

For, we believe, Alicia Keys' mother can change.

Yeah I wanted more actual relation to hip hop music / culture, since from my perspective it's mostly wrapped up in far left / entitlement rhetoric--especially the more conscious (does "conscious" mean, "socially conscious" ie: far-left politics?) you get--but the reality from a commercial standpoint is closer to a libertarian-with-traditional-social-values message, so there really is this sort of duality or cross-talk at play.

Kevin Garnett: Preparing for Life After Hoops

The fame and fortune of the 'franchise' professional athlete is rivaled by few professions. The fans and adoration. The money and special treatment. The notoriety and love. All given freely to the 'franchise' athlete.

But, what if it were taken away? What if, as a Negro, the highly paid athlete found himself stripped of his earnings. His mansion and vehicles taken away. The special consideration and treatment no longer lavished upon him. What if the powers that be that run the plantation and grant the athlete these things decided they no longer could stand the Negro athlete's success and fortune? What if?

Certainly, living in these forcibly United States, we are all aware of horror stories of wealthy and adored Negro athletes losing it all at the capricious (some might say sadistic) whim of those living in the 'big house'.

The notion of a wealthy, Negro athlete waking up one day to find his fame and fortune gone is not so far fetched. We have even recently seen examples of such athletes waking up to not only find their careers snatched from their grips, but they have even found this practice taken a step further: to incarceration. (see the tragic tale of Michael Vick's career snatching).

So, how does an athlete prepare to support himself and his family when the inevitable happens?

Certainly there are many ways. But, perhaps, Kevin Garnett has the safest, most effective way to ensure future employment:

"I'm probably the best at cleaning," he said. "I'm probably one of the cleanest people you've met in your life. I take a lot of pride in that. I know how to vacuum, I know how to mop, clean the kitchen, clean the dishes. I'm cold at that."

Clearly, Garnett lives his dream life with an eye towards reality. As a Negro in these forcibly United States, Garnett knows that he is living on borrowed time. He knows that at any moment he might get a knock on his door from agents of the government to tell him to leave with them because he is guilty.

He knows that when that day comes, all that will be left to ensure his subsistence will be to clean up after the dirty devil that layed in wait to take it all away.

But, as we contemplate what the future holds for this generation of wealthy Negro athlete...and as we contemplate when the agents of evil will attempt to take back what these Negroes have earned:

We must remember the righteous words:

Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

And, lo though the Negro athlete may be held in cells or handed a cleaning mop; only the most Blessed and most close to the Righteous Power on High could ever clean up the mess that the white devil has made of these forcibly United States.

Yes, we can change.
