Why Hip Hop Won't Tangle With the Tea Party:
Call for a Militant Mind Militia
TRUTH Minista Paul Scott
Whatcha do get your head ready. Instead of gettin' physically sweaty"
Welcome to the Terror-dome-Public Enemy
In breaking news, two of Hip Hop's most popular artists died today. In what was the culmination of a year long beef, an altercation in the middle of 52nd street has left both men dead. No, they didn't shoot each other. As they stood arguing in the middle of the street, they were run over by a Tea Party Express bus that was running late for a rally...
Beef. That is one word with which the Hip Hop community has become very familiar over the last decade and a half. The term has resulted in many tragedies in the black community ranging from neighborhood feuds to deaths on street corners. Black people taking it to other Black people is an everyday occurrence in 'hoods across the country. This is what makes the Hip Hop community's (and the black community, in general) lack of response to the current climate of hate fueled by the Tea Party, Birthers and other agents of White Supremacy especially disturbing.
For the last year, anti-Afrikan behavior has escalated from anti -Black propaganda being promoted on radio stations to black Congressmen being called racial slurs and spat upon. All over the country Right Wing racists are rallying thousands of people, while black folks are pretending not to notice.
Since Hip Hop has always prided itself as being the true voice of the black community, you would think that rap artists would be on the front line fighting against these disses to black folks.
Not so.
So far, there have been, relatively, few Hip Hoppers calling out the Right Wingers. This is not to say that "no" rap artists are speaking out on issues, as there are Hip Hop Freedom Fighters in communities across the country but most have heard about the attacks that came upon such political artists such as Professor Griff and Sister Souljah in the 80's/90's and don't want the same thing to happen to them. Many of them feel that even if they did take a stand, an unorganized, apathetic black community would just leave them hanging.
I don't know if you noticed it or not but radio stations have even stopped playing "violent" music over the last few months. Instead, radio has dumped violence for misogyny. While we must not condone black on black violence in any form, the rationale for the sudden change in radio rotation must be examined.
The industry knows that one of the by products of Hip Hop has been black male rebelliousness. This is why those in power were quick to blame incidents of racial unrest such as the Virginia Beach and LA rebellions (riots) of the late 80's/early 90's on the music of groups like Public Enemy. Immediately, they went to work to replace revolutionary Hip Hop with gangsta tales of black on black homicide and chemical genocide (? sales). During the following decade, since "racism" became less overt, the black male displaced aggression generated by Hip Hop was used on other black males.
However, with racism/White Supremacy becoming more "in your face" over the last year, the "powers that be" don't want to risk the fratricidal message of gangsta rap to be misinterpreted as a call to "fight the power." They know that with a change of a couple of words a 50 Cent song becomes a Dead Prez-like call to "bang on the system." So now, all you hear on the radio is "stripper music" dealing with girls instead of guns.
The agents of white supremacy have studied our history well. They know the success that Bunchy Carter, Fred Hampton and others had in transforming gang bangers into revolutionaries during the Black Power Era. They know that a Blood or Crip esposed to a strong dose of political education has the potential to become Black Panther or Deacon for Defense.
They also know that even the most ? thug will become outraged if while flippin' the channel between Hip Hop stations, he hears a Right Wing radio host call him a "no good ? who will never amount to anything" and his mother a "lazy welfare queen."
And with the escalation of anti-black rhetoric from Right Wing radio hosts this scenario is possible if not probable.
In every city the Right Wingers are organizing their troops via Conservative radio stations, as media giants such as Clear Channel have begun converting their country music stations into virtual 100,000 watt Ku Klux ? headquarters. In, North Carolina they recently turned 106.1 FM into "Rush Radio, named after their star player, the infamous Rush Limbaugh. Clear Channel realizes that all politics is local so ,although they broadcast the likes of Sean Hannity, Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh, throughout the day , during the morning drive time, their programming becomes early morning strategy sessions. So while the nationally syndicated bigots like Limbaugh lay out the national strategy, the local hosts and their listeners politic on how to implement it locally. All the while black folks are busy lip syncing, "How Low Can You Go" on their way to work, totally oblivious to the plans being devised on the talk radio station at the end of the dial.
In NC, the WRDU "Morning Show" insults black folks every morning with the same Right Wing racist garbage without being challenged. They have even set up a chat room where their racist listeners hold strategy sessions every morning from 5:30AM to 9AM EST because they know that most black folks are too busy laughing at J. Anthony Brown jokes on the Tom Joyner Morning Show to pay them any attention.
Twenty years ago, we would have never stood still for this disrespect without challenging it. However, nowadays we are too busy getting into Internet "beefs" on YouTube with other Afrikans that we don't seem to have time to challenge those who espouse the tenets of white global ? and the oppression of Afrikan people.
That is why it is important that we form "Militant Mind Militias" in 'hoods across the country to counter the lies and attacks on black culture from the Right wing. We have to start calling in to these Right Wing racist talk shows and challenging their racist rhetoric.
Don't get it twisted, this has nothing to do with whether one agrees with the politics of Barack Obama. This is about the anti-Afrikan white supremacist ideology being spewed by the Tea Party and the rest of their crew.
It is time that we dust off our Neely Fuller and Amos Wilson books and put the principals into action. Some of us have read hundreds of books on African History but only use the information to prove that we are intellectually superior to our black brothers and sisters; never once challenging the Ph.D carrying members of white supremacist think tanks.
It is time that we start using Youtube, Facebook and Twitter for something more than ? calls and coonery.
It is time that we start using our Afrikan minds to challenge white supremacy ideology.
Militant Mind Militias must be started immediately using our strong Afrikan intellect as weapons.
We have nothing to lose but our mental chains.
I know that some of you are going to cop out and give 100 reasons why we should not get into ideological debates with white folks. You really only need one reason to do so; our people need to see black intelligence in action. Isn't that what inspired us to follow the teachings of Malcolm X, Dr. Khallid Muhammad and Dr. John Henrik Clark , that they were not afraid to challenge the best white scholars in open debate?
The ancestors are crying out for us to engage the oppressor in a battle of the minds.
Unfortunately, so far, Hip Hop and most black folks have been missing in action.

Yes because the kulture of hip hop is not organized to the point of a powerful movement, Diddy tried... those who kould kan't and those who would won't
-
too many snakes controlling the industry. it is by design the game is the way it is. it's not about talent it's about controlling the culture not representing it. cats need to wake up and recognize whats going on before we can become a cohesive unit.
-
Long ass thread... but seriously, ? are scared of revolution...
-
good read but i don't need hip hop for this ? how bout instead of waiting on some rappers to speak out stand up and do that ? right now where you at in yoru area to many folks waiting on leaders instead of leading themselves that's why we stuck at a standstill
-
we don't need a leader, you lead your own path. we just need more brothers to become aware of whats going on, not just on your block or in the rap game. once we edjucate ourselves then we can become politically and socially aware. or else we'll just be waiting on the next leader they drag in front of us to make you "believe"

How about some unpopular facts:
1..More than half of the rappers on TV have soldout
2.Intitutions like Travistock actually study human nature to learn how to destroy humans thru unnatural tones and radio frequenties usually used in popular music today
3.The Elite of the government got pac,big murdered
4.Yes Nas sold out too,He's doing census commercials..The Census is a ploy the illuminati uses to count how people are in the US so they can properly determine how many people to ? for population control
5.M&M is a racist who sucks the soul out of the culture..He was hand picked by the higher elite to infiltrate hip hop..He learned how to flow from blacks and really has no self made style
6.The original purpose of hip hop was diverted on purpose to keep nubians from uniting..Thats why there aren't hardly any more groups like public enemy
7.The South was put in charge of the game on purpose to keep the masses dumb wanting to execessively floss and spend money to booast the ecomony..The evil one knows that africans move to the sound of the drum(Which is heavily used in southern beats),the thing is that fake sythetic sounds were added to destroy your central nervous system..Music is now computerized and no longer natural..It doesn't move with the bio rythem of the planet...They sped up music to 440 megahertz which actually speeds up the heart rate and kills you dead slowly..
8..Most videos nowadays depict martial law,chaos, quarantine etc..They are now showing you their plans..example videos to watch Jayz run this town,Fabolous body ya,M&M lil wayne drop the world and many more..
9.Jay-z Is a Master Mason who uses his music,clothes to push the new world order agenda
10..obama was choosen to infiltrate hip hop to get the youth on his side..truth is obama is the pre cursor to the new world order.."The Change" represents this..America is now in SERIOUS debt with mutiple countries
More to come..... -
I knew something was up with the synth sound.Something was so ackword about it.That style came out of nowhere and it took over.And everyone bought it and now it 's here to stay.

That style came out of nowhere within hip hop true. but ive been listening to countless bands from industrial to synth pop to coldwave who have been utilizing the use of synths far longer and far better than hip hop has. -
Then again, not everyone can become a leader. We should not even wait for someone from the hip hop community to speak up against wrongdoings either. The music industry makes sure it doesn't happen. Really young good black leaders are hard to come by these days.

Diiddy tried when did this happen? Never heard of doing anything like that only him causing further divisions -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_protests
Here's how I see it. A bunch of people on a stock market investing message board (where I read and post) got riled up and ? off about a bunch of lying white collar criminals. It was absolutely only about people who are robbing tax payers blind. People who pushed American industrial jobs off shore to turn a bunch of farmers into industrial worker living on barely survival wages so we could get our cheap plastic toys. So here's the thread where a lot of the original Tea Party people are patting themselves on their backs.
http://www.tickerforum.org/cgi-ticker/akcs-www?post=133911
The Tea Party started up hating all lying politicians and the fact that big companies seem to own the will of government. They've exposed lies and they don't care about political boundaries at all. Many of them voted for Obama. Many of them threw Bush under the bus. In fact, they constantly throw republicans and democrats under the bus.
Years ago, a law was dropped http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass%E2%80%93Steagall_Act (the Glass Steagall Act). It was a law put in place to prevent banks from ? people over enacted after the depression. Two republicans pushed for that law to be dropped in 1980 and we've been building up a big ? over ever since. So Tea Party is not ? at Democrats, they are ? all politicians who were bought off by banks at taxpayer expense.
So I invite people to see how the current thinking is among the people who sort of started the Tea Party movement. Now it is true, a lot of people are hopping on the bus and most of them want to drive. If you can look past the band-wagon jumpers to the heart of what got the ball rolling and actually talk to the Tea Party people I think you might get to form your own opinion of how it all started.
Here's a couple of articles posted by the Admin of that message board and a link to his blog.
http://market-ticker.org/archives/2237-On-Our-Rotten-Financial-System.html
Indeed, on March 8th of 2008 I called out the games in a letter written to President Bush and others in which I said (among other things):
Mr. Bernanke and The Fed have lowered the Fed Funds Target from 5.25% to 3% over the last few months and the “slosh”, or free funds available in the Fed Banking System, has nearly doubled over that time. Yet this additional liquidity has done nothing to address the problem and won’t because the issue is not one of inadequate liquidity; rather it is a desperate move to hide the fact that a significant number of financial institutions in our nation are, if forced to mark all their paper to the market and recognize their exposure to off balance sheet vehicles, insolvent.
At the root of the matter, Mr. President, is a lack of trust caused by the intentional acts of these institutions, and lack of regulatory enforcement by both the Federal Reserve and other agencies such as the OTS and OCC.
Ripping Palin and republicans a new one:

Ripping McCain a new one (got to love the title):
http://market-ticker.org/archives/642-The-Mouth-Breather-Express.html
My son pointed this thread out to me and this is sort of my response to him (he doesn't post here I think).
I think people are afraid of the Tea Party because they appear anti federal government. Federal Government has done a LOT of good for a LOT of people. There is no denying that. States can sometimes be very cruel because they are more localized and they need a good stomp down every once in a while. But, the way I see it, Federal Government is now at the point of "What have you done for me lately?" and the problem is that the Federal Government is simply doing for what's called, 'crony capitalism' more than for society.
I think Tea Party people are the same type of people who you wouldn't be afraid to ask them if they had any battery cables to jump your car or ask them to watch your house while your on vacation. Not that you're always going to get lucky when you put trust in a stranger, but I think the tea party people are more concerned with what's right and what's wrong over what political party or what ethnicity you are so all in all, should not be scare of Tea Party in my opinion.
