    CONGRATULATIONS BROTHER, THIS IS SOME REAL SHYT!!!!!!!!!!!! OPEN AND WAKE UP THE SLEEPING MINDS!!!!!!! And even though I feel Obama, is part of the machine(I just hope deep down he’s still trying to do some good) THIS BROTHER MAKES SOME GREAT AND ASTOUNDING THE POINTS IN HIS SONG! I tell you one thing Black People, ya’ll better wake up and start arming up like these tea party fanatics, because their way of thinking is spreading, and we BETTER BE READY. MY street dudes and so-called gangsters, stop pointing the guns at each other, and get ready to point them at the real enemies of our community and all Black People in general. WAKE UP AND PREPARE, remember the PANTHERS, remember your ingrained instinct to be warriors whom defend our people!!!!!

    If the Tea Party was Black? They would not let it get this far. If it was black they would have used the media to tell lies on them. If they were Black they would Kill them like every other black group that has called out the goverment.If they were black they would have called them unamerican.if they were black they would be called anti-semtic. If they were black they would get a House N****r to side with a racist talk show host. If they were black they would be called ACORN. If they were black they would be called the new Black Panther party. If they were Black the media would ask Bill Clinton his Opinion.I they were Black they would not be on Oprah.

    and my question is, why is this forum topic not on the hot topics list????? is it because it only has 10comments(well 11 with this one lol) I think this is far more important and is of more relevance to Black People then what LeBron did or what Mel racist azz said. Come on people rally to this or spread the word!!!! You know what……I know what I’m a do

    thats the truth, we deserve reperation, if jews and get a type of reperations for something that happened in another country we should get some payback to.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SherriY/ SherriY

    CLAPPING WILDLY!!!!

    I’ve been arguing from the beginning that the Tea Party has no reason for such media validation BUT for the fact that it’s a bunch of white folks whining. But I could NEVER say it as well as Jasiri X just did. I agree with rayskilla6, this should definitely be a hot topic.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/killasweet82/ killasweet82

    writing too fast again, but like i was saying …if the jews can get a type of reperations(monuments,parks,holidays) for something that happened to them in another country, while we black people dont get s**t, thats not whats up we need some payback

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blackcaesar3k5/ blackcaesar3k5

    We definitely need movement to take on white power structure period… Hell, black people offending their good ole white friends and massa. The time is right for us come together focus on economic empowerment, economic growth and boycotting those networks that give valudation to tea party and conservative talk radio hosts..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bigj97216/ bigj97216

    Great video, that’s real talk. Jasiri X is a pretty deep rapper, but does not get recognized, except in the underground scene, because he does not sell out Black culture with destructive crappy lyrics.

    NOW THAT’S SOME REAL RAPPIN’ SKILLS AND MESSAGES AND THE VIDEO CONCEPT WAS SUPERB!!!!!!! KEEP IT GOING BECAUSE THE RAP GAME IS MISSIN’ “MIND MUSIC” RIGHT NOW. RAP WAS CREATED TO TEACH AS WELL AS ENTERTAIN, YA FEEL ME!!

    This is a nice blog, but has anyone forgotten that Black people already had a “Tea Party” back in the 1960s? It was called the Black Panther Party. And look at what the U.S. government did to them, from beginning to end. White people aren’t the only ones who are mad at government ineptitude…But…Do you really think that Sarah Palin will get shot in the head by the FBI to ensure that she don’t run for president before 2010 in out?…That’s a good question. I personally think it would give all of these white folks license to finish what was left in the 1960s. There would definitely be more violence, more shooting and more resistance, just based on the fact that more people are conscious what the government will do to us.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MARIOX/ MARIOX

    That’s real S**t but
    we are Livin in a world of hatred and lies and
    sad to say many don’t care bout what’s happenin then people don’t print the
    Real truth the government isn’t on our side any more I mean look
    I Am not a hatter but in this racist world full of foul play
    And Shid do u really think a black person could become
    President and not be killed or attacked I mean Kennedy is died but he was a great president all he did is support. Blacks and exposed some hints bout the “conspiracy” that is USA.

    You won’t hear about it but, I’m willing to bet anyone on here right now that Obama is pumping this -ish in his ipod right now. I’m really feelin’ this! I need that adrenaline.

    Yawn!!! yeah nice song and dance routine, but anyone find it funny, that as black people, we waste time fighting other groups who are trying to get “theirs” while we are only willing to plead and beg for ours? Love them or hate them, the TEA PARTY is mobilizing and MAKING mainstream media pay attention. What the fck are we doing? making songs about them? Would be totally laughable if the stakes weren’t so high!!! Nobody has to ask what if the tea party were black, because they know we don’t go in like that. Why you think they let the Million Man March go on? Cause they knew negroes were going to leave there and go back to the block, club, church etc. Five years later, the number in attendance had dropped off significantly. Shlt was a fad, something trendy. People bought some T Shirts, and will talk crap in Barbershops for the next 30 years about how they were there.

    Great song… Someone finally came out and not only said it but made a song about it…

    What if the tea party was black? We know for sure what would have happened…

    It’s funny how asians and east indians can dislike one another, but they will come together when it comes to making money, which in some cases… means strength and power. On the other hand, most blacks and latinos who don’t like eachother, choose to choose to fight and be at war with one another. Unity is KEY. Divide and Defeat, is how whites stay in power. One blog I’ve read on here is very true, we do need to open our eyes, this new KKK group “The Tea Party” do want a white world and they are armed, are we?
