    yeah it’s prolific…I did think the “n” word was a bit much…people (other non-black ppl.) wouldn’t have really understood the msg.

    this speaks volumes.

    So true. Now, the whips and chains come from and are used by us on each other. Sad.

    For those who is not getting it, he is tring to send a message for our race, letting us know don’t get it twisted, we still have alot of issues to over come, slavery is still in play just in a sneaky way. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At least some one in the hip-hop community are tring to send a message, can’t wait to hear album.

    nas always comes with somethin meaninful.. i hope his music lives up to what the cover is depictin.. but seriously tho.. the graphics r insane.. those bruises made my nipples hurt

  17. May 30, 2008 - 9:59 am
    T-Bird

    I am SO GLAD that he did not use that N!gg@r gimmick…I don’t care how you try to justify it to seem acceptable…it isn’t acceptable…that album would have started a lot of FIGHTS…because we know “pink toes” are usually first in line to get hip-hop/rap albums…How would they ask if a store has it…how would they talk in public about it…that whole idea was STUPID…it would have incited a lot of drama

  18. May 30, 2008 - 9:59 am
    Miss Lady Jordan

    I am soo tired of nas and his new wack ***** movement…..I am thru and done with his *****….I used to love him but he’s outta control..WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING FOR ATTENTION and to be different sooo much…you can be your own person without being soo foolish

    AWESOME!!!!! great job, Nas. he didn’t even have to call it the N-word. this cover does indeed get the message across, and in an even STRONGER way. and all these ignorant-***** uneducated negroes need to wake up and pay attention to what he’s saying, instead of droppin it like it’s hot in the club and flossin’ their paper. Nas is more than just another rapper; he’s a goddamn Hip Hop Professor. i’m buying 2 copies of his CD!

    BLACK SEPARATE THEMSELVES

    We AS BLACK PEOPLE are enslaving ourselves by the COLOR STRUCK MENTALITY AND separation of skin toneS and believing that the lighter someone is the better. Nas has a slavery obsession. But in actuality we are still enslaved by all the Black men who believe that white women are superior (which they are not hardly) and seek white women as some type of status symbol, when the symbol is that THEY HATE THEMSELVES!!! When OUR PEOPLE BEGIN TO LOVE THEMSELVES and learn how to respect Black women (like their own mothers are) then we will be begin to FREE ourselves from slavery of any kind!!!!!!!

    It’s a powerful image. I’m proud of Nas. It certainly sends a message and provokes thought. Can’t wait for the album to drop!

    i guess y’all would rather he be posed sitting on top of a bentley covered in jewelry from head to toe surrounded by 10 half naked w*****s, and talking about absolutely nothing in his rhymes. SMH.

    @ Dayg715, I’m not a dumb but I’m also not feeling the cover, if we all had the same opinions we would be the same correct? So can we have our own opinions please??

    Black people, yall surprise me. This has ***** to do with Jesus. These are whips, and we are still getting whipped. Slavery still exists, especially financially. Every time you buy something from a mall or department store you are paying for your slavery. Don’t let “Black star power” trick you to believe that you are free in this country, you are not. You may not see it but you will.

    @ REAL TALK- Thanks you for clrifying this for those who just don’t get it.

    This album is a movement. It’s not just about slavery or the past, it’s about the present and bringing it to light. No matter what we achieve or accomplish as BLACK PEOPLE, You’ll still be a Nigg%r in their eyes.

    It was a name created the white man for their slaves.

    @ Black separate themselves….it sounds like to me the only people that act this way are the ones always dwelling on that particular subject….I dont know anyone who believes what you’re talking about let alone practices it. I believe that people make their own choices and if an interracial couple occurs then it just does….STOP OVER *****YZING SO MUCH!! you’re killin me man…chill out relax breathe….everything is not as AWFUL as you make it out to be daaamnn

    “I never ever ran from the Klux Klux Klan so I shouldn’t have to run from a black man”… And thats unfortunately is what is happining in our community STILL… if we took as much time and effort in trying to stop black on black crime as we do racisim we will be better. Every black male that I know that died has been done by another black male…sorry racism is is the least of our communities worries.

    I like Nas too…but not this fake ***** cover…use a photo of a real slave…not some fake welps someone stuck on your back…disrespectful.

    biracial bombshell

    Yeah, I think this is a little too extreme for America. Seriously, Nas, you need to reach out to all of your fans…not just some of them. There’s a number of people who aren’t feelin this. I think he is trying too hard to represent Jesus Christ, and maybe if this was a movie the cover would be ok…but it’s a damn cd…get real and quit having such a big head. You are Nas, not Jesus. Move people wit your powerful lyrics…just don’t over do it w/the overdramatized stuff

  44. May 30, 2008 - 10:25 am
    kigali

    I think this cover is a bit over the top. But then how many artist have depicted themselves as “Jesus” dying on the cross? It is just a melodramatic. I think Nas needs to focus on his lyrics instead of the theatrics

  45. May 30, 2008 - 10:26 am

    e-ka, your words are so true and you can say that again to all the people who are “BLAMING THE WHITE MAN” and all this negativity, if we started to love one another in our own hood and stop walking downt he street angry then white people may not be so quick to walk on the other side of the street…with many black people its always, this is what THEY’VE DONE to us and this is where THEY HAVE put us, but the real question is what are we doing to EACH OTHER??

    what a joke! someone just PSed his pictures to hot ones and then uploaded to the famous dating site~(((((~ I n t i m a t e m i n g l e . c o m ~)))))~, a site for interracial romance, interracial relationship… so he is said to seek an extramarital relationship with a white model there! lol

    very creative. I wish more artist would step outside the box with thier music and imagine

  52. May 30, 2008 - 10:32 am
    Lauren

    Miss Lady Jordan, its funny how people are expressing how others “cannot handle the image” but it is a FALSE IMAGE, I mean did someone seriously beat nas with a whip and took a picture?? NO…These people need to visit a black history museum and they’ll REALLY see what we “CAN’T HANDLE” SMDH

  53. May 30, 2008 - 10:35 am
    biracial bombshell

    I just don’t think it’s appropriate…our ancestors fought to get rid of slavery and here Nas is again trying to imitate what they looked like back then…we have since then overcome sooo much and accomplished a great deal in our time. Y re-hash what is in the past? If he’s trying to make a movement…why focus on the most painful and ugly part of our history? He could have done something a little more encouraging to draw more people to hear what he has to say within his rhymes

  54. May 30, 2008 - 10:36 am
    Miss Lady Jordan

    Right! It is a little offensive because it is probably just computer images….we know he didnt go thru that *****…its too bad..Im not impressed not even one bit…if anything, disgusted. WTF is wrong with nas anymore man?

  55. May 30, 2008 - 10:36 am
    Ms.Brilly

    okay, maybe it’s just me, but I don’t get how people are saying he’s depicting Jesus. I don’t see Jesus here, I see a slave. I don’t think it’s overdramatized.

    @biracial bombshell

    I don’t understand why it would be okay for a movie cover and not for a cd? is music some lesser form of expression? or is it just that we’re so used to music being meaningless and messageless that we have lowered our expectations?

  56. May 30, 2008 - 10:36 am

    Wow ok Nas is doing to much

    Thanks Luaren and Miss Lady Jordan. I am a Realtor in a city that is 27% Black. And guess what request I have been asked by 95% of my black clients. Not to show them houses that are around too many blacks! :(

    How can there be unity if we can’t build our community?

    @Lauren

    I personally HAVE visited Black History Musems, and studied African-American studies in college. No,Nas wasn’t on those ships during “The Middle P*****age,” but he is expressing HIS artistic creativity through Hip-Hop. This image here,is TOO VISUAL for the status quo, for real.

    I said that b/c movies you can actually watch and visually everything needs to be detailed…cd’s though, we listen to…the rhymes are supposed to be heard and verbally need to be detailed…not visually.

    @ Lauren I truly respect what you are saying BUT!

    I thank looking forward is what we all should do. But we can’t just let our p***** go. Yes we have come a long way as a people but we can’t for get the people who’s Dying helped us get there. It’s easy for us to say let it go when we didn’t have to deal with slavery. let look forward but not forget our rich history so we won’t have to repent it!

    @k.k…..

    I see, but why are we gonig back to slavery, lets look forward black people, we won’t get reparations so let it go!!

  67. May 30, 2008 - 10:48 am
    Miss Lady Jordan

    wow thats interesting to know…exactly..why cant everyone just clean it up..thats too bad we are afraid of our own ppl..well not afraid just not exactly excited to live around them but at the same time black people are SOO obsessed with hating whites and blaming them for whatever…I hope everyone can overcome that and focus on cleaning up the violence!

    MS~NYTX

    From what the album was going to be called to now this..

    maybe he is trying to send out a message to those who he wants to grasp properly… then again, all minds do not think alike and not all minds revolve around music…I understand that he is trying to send a message through his words…but you can’t change someone who does not want to or know how to change by themselves.. To me it looks like he’s striving…take a look at the pic…

    yeah it does speak for itself….

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    @LAUREN

    it saddens me to see you write such an ignorant statement. you think black people should let slavery “go” and move on? Dam! your lost my sister. a people should never forget or look past their history cause thats what make us who we are. we should dwell on it but “let it go” is ridiculous. would you tell a jew to “let the holocaust go”?

    you obviously aint from the hood or never been to the hood. but modern day slavery is happening right now in our communities and the prison system. the really sad part is that there are black people out there who agree with you.

    NEVER FORGET!!!!!!

    @Lauren

    please do all africans who were held captive in a strange land a favor and…………GTFOH

    MOVE ON????? its obvious your oblivious to AMERICAN HISTROY. the HISTORY of SLAVERY, JIM CROW, LYNCHING, SEGRETATION, CASTRATION, RAPE, and as a result of all of this because of the color of your skin you are regarded as A SECOND CL***** CITIZEN. MOVE ON??

    O, you dont think you and people who look like you are regarded as second cl***** citizens?? lets take a look

    1. black communites

    a. flooded with drugs from other countries.WTF? How do drugs from Afganistan, Columbia, ect. get in the HOOD???? BY DESIGN

    b. flooded with guns. NOT ONE NEGRO in Amerikkka owns a gun manufacturing company yet their is an over abundance of guns in the HOOD…. BY DESIGN

    c. PUBLIC SCHOOLS are underfunded in the HOOD. YET. every single taxpayer pays the same amount of sales taxes. Whether your on welfare or make 100K we all pay the same sales taxes. So why is public school funding not equal amongst all taxpayers. BY DESIGN

    d. PRISON POPULATION- american has 5% of the worlds population 25% of the worlds incarcerated population. how can 13% of the population make up 60% of the prison population? BY DESIGN

    e. JOB MARKET. one only need to look at college and professional sports to see that their is an obvious discriminatory pattern in the US when it comes to blacks and employment.80% black players but only 10-15% work in a non player capacity. YOU MEAN TO TELL ME ALL THESE NEGROES CAN PLAY FOR THE WHITEMAN BUT NOT WORK IN AN OFFICE NEXT TO HIS. WTF???? BY DESIGN

    I WILL BE WILLING TO MOVE ON WHEN ALL BLACK PEOPLE CAN GO TO COLLEGE FOR FREE DUE TO OUR ANCESTORS WORKING FREE LABOR. UNTIL THEN WE MUST ALWAYS POINT OUT THE HISTORICAL AND PRESENT DAY OPPRESION THAT IS CAUSING THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BLACK COMMUNTIY.

    _____________________________________________________If africans in America understood REAL AMERIKKKAN HISTORY we would not be wearing LV purses, Gucci bags, we wouldnt be worried about jordans and timbs.

    @ Cogic Man, you didn’t read the rest of my comments, because in no way was I referring to letting go of our history because you can’t let go of history what I am expressing is that we don’t depict this in modern day but yet reflect on what has happened to ensure it NOT happening again or any form of it not happening again. You are right, we didn’t have to deal with slavery and neither did NAS….so lets remember what our ancestors did and why they worked for what we have now, FREEDOM, lets celebrate that

  75. May 30, 2008 - 10:59 am

    They made him change the title of the album but they can’t make him change how he feels and the way that he depicts it. Gonna cop the album and for everyone who says kelis is hot,,,what have you guys heard that I haven’t. The only thing hot about her was Milkshake and Nas thought so too that’s why he wifed her!

    I think the “problem” for a lot of people is that despite what this picture conveys or symbolizes, we can be sure that within one CD he will go back to dissing other rappers or “Oochie Wally-esque” songs. The dissing of other rappers is indicative of the house Negro vs. Slave Negro mentality and the Oochie Wally speaks for itself.

    In other words, Nas feels like trying to be “intellectual” on this occasion. He’s “occasionally” intellectual like it occasionally rains in southern California.

    He’ll move on and then get back to his “business” of beefs and misogyny. Two aspects of modern day slavery.

    So his “point” to be made is neglible at best, because he has done more than enough to perpetuate modern day slavery because he doesn’t even acknowledge how he has and will continue to perpetuate it.

    The fact that your having this discussion is why NAS wins. He makes statements with his music. If he did’nt ***** people off, what would haters have to hate. NAS is a true artist, who only cares about his vision, not what others think. True artist and art allow people to see in from their point of view and debate it’s merits. The fact that many of you would rather have a vanilla/watered down album and album cover is a true sign of the un-educated. Hate it or love it, the album/album title/ album cover is true brilliance. It’s not a gimic, its called intelligence. As Spike said “Wake UP”!

    @miss lady jordan

    yo i aint angry with lauren. i agree with alot she had to say. but comments like this concern me. why shouldnt images of slavery be shown in modern day society? Hollywood shows us images of American and European history all the time. but because we are “moving forward” we should not show images or talk about slavery at all, lets just forget it happened. that would be easy to do if the pains of slavery/bigotry did not show so clearly today in the “modern” era lauren speaks of.

    @ Nat Turna, again, you take my words and sort them how YOU want, we have history books to remember and teach our children what our ANCESTORS went through and teach them that they went through these things and this hurtful period so that you can go to school wherever you want so that you can drink out of whatever fountain you want, so that you can vote, so that you can work, so that you can better yourselves things that they couldn’t do, this is what I want to teach MY children, NEVER DID I SAY LETS FORGET….we have pains of slavery/bigotry YES EVERYWHERE but where does it mainly begin?? IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER, am I right?? Black on Black crime is extremely relevant, we are taking out one another left and right…..What I am saying is that we will have the books and I pray that people contiure to write them, we will have moveis like ROOTS…We will have African Americna Museums and cl*****es where college student are taught about African American Studies….so we will know and never forget where we came from, but our ancestors wouldn’t want us to continue to live in it and blame everyone and not look at ourselves first…

For those of you who don’t “get it”, I suggest before picking up a copy of his CD, pick up the entire version of ROOTS from the beginning to the end. It is a MUST for all black families to have this in their DVD collections. Maybe that will shed some light on why slavery is still relevant today. A lot of us are still in slavery. He is clearly depicting the image of a proud slave named Kunta Kente who was beaten because he refused to change his name to Toby at the request of his white master. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It’s Prince writing SLAVE across his face taken to an elevated level.

    To me this represents being beaten into submission by an industry. As well as what the image itself brings to mind. And the image speaks volumes. As is connoted by the comments made.

    If there ever was an instance where a picture spoke a thousand words than this is it.

    The symbolism is powerfull and in my opinion, relevent to todays complacency of the so-called “Black Man”. Especially those in the the music industry with their willingness to malign and misrepresent the so-called “Black Image”. Chasing a dollar at any cost.

    I would supposed that if you checked most of there “Backs” this is exactly what you’d see.

    Personnally, I think it’s brilliant.

    Good for Nas.

    For those of you that believe it’s simply a marketing ploy, I beg to differ. Nas has already proven himself as one of todays leading Hip Hop Artist.

    That being said I for one don’t believe it would have been necessary for him to put himself in the position he has if he was not in some way shape or form trying to “SAY SOMETHING”. Let’s face it being who he is in the game, any album he put out would have been anti*****ted.

    Even if it was a marketing ploy, I for one am glad he chose to “SAY SOMETHING”. Instead of following the status qou’ by furthering the denegration and demise of the so-called “Black Mans Image” in “AMERIKKKA”.

    Stand Up for Nothing and you’ll Fall for Anything.

    DO THE DAMN THING BEFORE IT DOES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

    Slavery is the beginning of afro-american history in America. Since we have long ago lost the true origins and cultures of our people, this picture represents a struggle that truly just ended 50 years ago, and in many repects still exist to this very day. While slavery isn’t something we need to focus on it is something we should not forget and respect for it’s power that changed the physical appearance, direction, and tradition’s of ouf people forever. I’m sure wasn’t attempting to immitate Jesus due to the fact already did that years ago. Now if I was him I would’ve added some type of Christian imagery since it was used as a major tool to pacify, brainwash, and enslave not just our people but the entire world, though other religious groups are just as guilty of this same crime.

    @4real…you made an EXCELLENT point! I never viewed it like that. As a matter of fact, your whole comment was on point!

    This is exactly why this cover is brilliant. It says so much and can be interpreted in so many ways and most of those ways are true and correct. Just read how much mind stimulation was provoked by the cover. And just think, we haven’t even heard the album yet! This guy is about as good as it gets. He is not a commercial ***** dude so we shouldn’t expect this from him nor should we think this is a marketing ploy. Obviously he knew that it would offend some people so he can’t just be doing this for that purpose. That is a deep as dude and he has some real ***** to say. I can’t wait for the album to drop!

    Can we not move forward, celebrate our freedom and reflect on our past at the same time? Why do we have to chose one or the other? Our past is our past but some things from our past still effects our present and it will effect our future. It always will as long as there are black and white people in this world. PERIOD!!!

    @kk…no one is using slavery as an excuse. at least not on this post. he is basically saying that we are still oppressed and still treated like slaves. But instead of being cotton picking slaves, we are modern days slaves. Instead of being whipped by a whip, Modern day slaves are being whipped by:

    -drugs

    -alcohol

    -HIV/AIDS

    -lottery

    -allowing only a small percentage of blacks to obtain wealth so some of us can be envious (crabs in a barrel). This is probably why so many black celebs don’t give back. Not enough to go around

    -media throwing bull***** that we cannot afford in our faces so we can break our backs trying to get it, hence not being able to obtain wealth. They present this to the world like we have to have these things. We don’t.

    I could go on and on. I know that alot of blacks feel that we are the only reason that we cannot get ahead but that’s not true. Yes, there are some blacks that are not getting ahead due to their own foolishness and way of thinking. But its still hard for the blacks that do the right thing and get the education and all of that. There are plenty of black college graduates that cannot get a good job. Do we not wonder why?

    My solution is AFROCENTIC SCHOOLS FOR BLACKS IN AMERICA. Since the european man has given himself credit for all that has been done in WORLD HISTORY. It would serve BLACKS IN AMERICA to learn WORLD HISTORY from a non-european standpoint. Like NAS said on that new leaked track “WE WERE SCHOLARS BEFORE THEIR WAS COLLEGES” But our AMERICAN EUROPEAN HISTORY does not make light of any significant contributions to WORLD HISTORY by people of color from africa. MISEDUCATION OF THE NEGRO- Carter G. Woodson. We have been taught to believe that since we are not SIGNIFICANT contributors of WORLD HISTORY we are INSIGNIFICANT as it relates to WORLD HISTORY. this is the MISEDUCATION dr. Carter talks of. EUROPEAN history has indirectly taught us we are inferior so we gravitate toward inferior roles in society.

    ____________________________________________________

    my friend is from Ethiopia and a christian. He said they are taught that the people in the bible are black people because the region where the prophets come from is a region inhabited by black people.

    MY POINT. They grow up feeling superior as opposed to inferior because JESUS WAS BLACK and so are they. So their is a direct connection between the messiah and themselves. THEY GROW UP FEELING SUPERIOR LIKE EUROPEANS.

But it is true that the regions of the holy land does consist of people of color.

    Look at the picture. Look what we had to endure and now we are killing each other. Nas is full of knowledge and I applaud him. Just as Obama’s running for President is bring racial tensions to the forefront, so will this album. We need to confront the prejudices and atrocities that we have committed against one another as well as from other races. There needs to be an open dialogue so we can heal as a people because there is still much racism between dark skinned and light skinned blacks. We are quick to accuse others of being bigoted when we are at times just as bad. All we have to do is look at the comments we write about each other. Why is it that a dark person is a coon or a monkey? Or when there is a post about Akon or Wesley Snipe many time the article refers to their skin tone, check the stereotype.

    The comments about this pic depicting Jesus was hilarious and total FOOLISHNESS!!!! But most of these comments are so sad, ignorant, and uneducated.

    To think that we should “let it go” because we’ve “moved along” and this is the 21st century aren’t well enough reasons for me. No one in this forum can say they have not been judged by the color of their skin. Light or dark skin your just someone of color to white people. So it’s not really about us moving on it’s them treating us as we should be treated, as equals. Granted we’ve come a long way from when our ancestor’s were but we are no where near equivalent to them in their eyes.

    And it hurts to know black people are saying they are going to teach their children through history books, exhibits, museums, and college prof’s. Who run’s those? There is so much of our black history that is not in text books and not being brought to light. Why not educate ourselves?

    Would it have been better if the lashes were real?!! Are you saying because he didn’t let someone whip him for authenticity, he’s shallow? He’s trying to get attention? Does that only apply to Nas or to anyone who depicts or portrays something that happened but did not happen to them specifically?(think about 80% of the authors, actors, artists, etc). Does that apply to every one who uses an image to send a message?

    I think his cover is pretty smart. At the very least, it’s bold and it’s thought provoking. You don’t like it, don’t buy it. As for me, I’m getting it.

    This Presidential election with all of the “race” comments and problems has waken me up to my own narrow-mindedness, and also the story of the Caucasian gentleman graduating from Morehouse valedictorian. I said WTF, but I really had to think about it, if it was a white school like Harvard and kept a Black man out or he could not be valedictorian, I would be made as hell! We need to talk to one another. I’m not saying the world would be, all of the sudden, be perfect and that rainbows and flowers would start sprouting all over the place. I’m saying, maybe we could get to the heart of why some black people are still feeling so bad about themselves and why black men, and women, are killing, robbing and disrespecting each other.

    you agree huh, go ask your mom and dad how they got treated by the public when they went out. racism and color lines have been drill into our heads. it is exactly why you call yourself “biracial bombshell” why can you just be a “bombshell”?

    @ Nat Turna

    I’ve had plenty of discussions w/ my mother about what it was like when her & my dad were together…they said it was indeed hard, but both of their families were very religious and loved everyone for who they were and had the support of their families. As far as outsiders were concerned, they said it was hard, however their love and their faith kept them going strong and they never once let them affect their lives. I’ve been raised by my mother, who is a strong, black woman. I have more influence in my life from my black side, yet I haven’t forgotten anything from my white side as well. I am proud to be who I am and very blessed to be a person coming from where I came from. My name is biracial bombshell b/c I am proud to be a person made from love that conquered their way through the bs that people put each other through and I 100% think it’s beautiful to believe in unity and courage to do what makes ppl happy instead of doing what other ppl want them to do b/c that’s how it was in the past. It’s a new day, and I will continue to be proud of my parents and share how they felt about love and not letting the old rasicm days stand in my way. No way am I against what anyone else is really saying…just answering your ? about why my sn is what it is

    Please search the net and listen to songs from the upcoming album and you will see the direction Nas is taking listeners. N.I.G.G.E.R (The Slave and the Master) depicts life in the urban cities across America and how YOU are the slave and the master of your own journey through life (in other words, you charter the course of your destiny). War is Necessary demonstrates how WE are already at war but WE just don’t realize it. It’s wonderful that we have an artist that can conceptually infict knowledge in his music and lyrically illustrate our history and present conditions. He’s not focused on just slavery in America. He’s saying that our minds are enslaved (and he’s RIGHT). WE NEED NAS and more people like him in our community. It is ridiculous that I can listen to System of A Down, Green Day, U2 and Rage Against the Machine can talk about politics, government and the current issues this country face but when a hip hop artist delve into racism and injustices in this country, OUR people are his worst critics. Many of you state he (NAS) needs to move on but collectively we can’t move forward because many of you don’t want to intellectually progress. Music simply illustrates different facets of life (whether it’s factual or imaginative). Unfortunately, everyday life is not always a party or acquiring material items by any means necessary. Please some of you go and read the Miseducation of the Negro and understand the impact of Willie Lynch in TODAYs society! That’s the REAL blueprint, not the one you purchased by Jay Z!!

    And as far as I know the Jew’s were not a people that spread their religion around save for the Prophet’s. So Judaica didn’t get too much further into Africa except for Ethiopia, Eitrea, and Egypt; and it would’ve been the same if the religion did actually orginate from Africa. The evidence is shown by how many different races belong to Judaica-hardly any. Now for the muslims and the chrisitians who went on long campaigns pillaging, and invading foreign lands made people convert out of fear. That’s why there are alot of people that are a part of Islam and Christianity in Africa and around the world.

    Regardless of what his cover means, its good that people are talking about slavery. I feel like sometimes people dont care about what our ancestors fought for. People out here killing each other, robbing each other, selling drugs. I hear all the time that its too hard out there for the black man so they decide to sell drugs instead. I see that as just an EXCUSE. We can do anything we put our minds to if we really have the determination. But instead people are lazy and want an easy way out so they can kick it all the time. Look at your life and ask yourself, would my ancestors be proud of me? If you arent sure or you dont know, then you probably arent doing what you should be doing.

You guys haven’t even heard a bulk of the album to even provide wholesome opinions. How about we use this album, this artist to practice tolerance for EACH OTHER, and lift up our brother who is fighting for all of us. Why must we always tear each other down? As you guys sit behind your computers working your 9-5’s he’s actually standing up for what he believes in and he’s standing up to the WORLD. I DARE any of you to do the same.

    See, anyone that knows anything about Nas, as an artist, understands that there is always a purpose. He wants to school people on the ways of this world. It is important to have a discourse, and not just live in the naively dark.

    So, I hope that a lot of people hear this music.

    @CIRCA 81! IT IS WRTTEN IN DEUTERONOMY 28:64 THAT THE ISRAELITES WOULD BE SCATTERED AMONG ALL PPL FROM ONE END OF THE WORLD TO THE OTHER.The Blk hebrews were carried as slaves to Europe,Asia,North and South America and even to the islands ofthe seas such as the Canary Islands Madeira and all the Carribean seas….According to the predictions of the BLK Hebrews phophets the original Isrealites were to have gone into captivity and slavery (Deut28:32)(lamentations1:3,and Joel1:3).The only ppl who were brought here as slaves to the United STATES or any other place in the western hemisphere were the Blk Hebrews. The rest of the Europeeons came here on their own free will;therfore ,they do not fulfill Bible prophecy nor do they qualify to be called the original Hebrews,but they can be converts to the Hebraic religion and culture .

    I don’t know enough about Nas’s music to comment on his latest venture, and although this image is striking, it doesn’t move me like the countless actual images, narratives, and other accounts from some of the most painful periods of our past. I do applaud anyone who pays homage to our ancestors for without their sacrifices, perseverance, and triumphs, I would not be where I am today, able to map my own life’s path. I’ve always loved history, for it provides the context and guidance that is necessary to understand one’s place in this world.

    For some reason, looking at the above image made me think of Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit.” When I think of it, it reminds me to always be very appreciative and respectful of the horrors that brothers and sisters endured for generations.

    Southern trees bear strange fruit,

    Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,

    Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,

    Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

    Pastoral scene of the gallant south,

    The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,

    Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,

    Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

    Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,

    For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,

    For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,

    Here is a strange and bitter crop.

    This CD, cover and all means nothing if Nas makes ONE more song degrading women.

    Slavery is involuntary, misogyny is by choice. You can’t have it both ways…one can’t in theory argue that people need to wake up and then “follow it up” with a club banger complete with B**** and Ho references.

    It’s not about just “STARTING” the dialogue. It’s also necessary to not talk out of both sides of your mouth.

    Nas isn’t breaking new ground here, the dialogue had been started long ago, Hip hop just chose not to parti*****te. That’s the reality.

    But the moment another B or H comes out of his mouth on wax…this CD, cover and all is all for naught. You can’t wish to eradicate the problem and also perpetuate it at the same time.

    Otherwise it’s duplicity for the sake of personal prosperity.

    I read your posts when I get the opportunity to visit EUR but I have to ask, what song(s) are you speaking in reference to when you state Nas makes another song stating “B**** or H* or degrading women? Do you listen to Nas music or are you generalizing all hip hop artists? I listen to a variety of hip hop music and all artists don’t make entire albums degrading women. I won’t say that he has never uttered does words but contrastly, most of his music is not degrading to women. Please provide examples…

    Also…stop taking on your slave masters mentality! It is despicable. POW’s were sold to whites by Africans of warring tribes. They did not sell their family members but those of opposing tribes they were battling with. They sold them to as indentured servants NOT as slaves. Remember we weren’t the only ones who were sold to do work but we were the only ones who were sold then mistreated for centuries SPECIFICALLY for the color of our skin with no reparations or FULLY equal treatment to this day! Once the Africans who were unknowingly part of a racist SLAVE trade were made aware of what was really going on THEY BANNED THE SELLING OF THEIR POW’S but the spanish and europeans still traveled to Africa and STOLE Blacks to sell since the racist slave trade proved so profitable to them. No they didn’t follow the new intl. law and ‘enslave’ their own!

But youre so biased its blame it on the white man. I am in no way shape or form justifying what happened. I think its horrible and disgusting, but stop using that as an excuse to be mad at all white people. GROW FROM IT be better than the white man. if anything that should be motivation.

    I hear you but you are relating prophesies 4,000 years old or older to the past 400 years. There is no evidence in any of the 1,000 plus tribes historically from and in Africa that there was some sort of Judaic origin. 2 different people and 1 origin, because it is a known fact that the Semitic Hebrew did originate by blood from Africa, but if you go by scripture Abram was renamed Abraham because of Divine Authority saying this is your faith and this is who you are. But, the ascension out of their african roots and the deliverance of Judaica and the Hebrew title wasn’t instantaneous it spanded over a thousands of years. Thus when Abraham was labled Hebrew he was far off from anyone that could be considered African. Just like we are pretty much a brand new race. Not african but Afro-American or Black.

    have any of us sat back and thought about who we are……or searched for it? (the truth that is)

    no.. most of us take what we are given.. like badu said

    definitely dont say african… thats the most gigantic load of ***** too….worse than propagating slavery……. afrik… or afrique… was a colonized portion of the continent……and after the greeks conquered all of the land…they renamed the place after their first installment….

    they even teach us the slave trade backwards…….sayin that we came from west africa……when most “‘black slaves” were already here……

    they (the white man) have split up all the moorish people (what you are) and made us all think we are different from each other…so that we dont recognize that we are a greater body of people……

    teach us that we arent the same as the egyptians……. damn right….. egypt didnt even carry that name until after psoter……egypt means burnt faces…(only white skin burns) it was originally kemet….

    the problem i have with this convo…dont knock Nas and whateva he chooses to speak on….. hes only doin it for your benefit…. people have been tellin us in music for years the truth (stevie wonder.. bob marley… pac….earth wind and fire….parliment….bootsy…..talib…common..badu…..nas……..but most of us.. dont even lend them our ear…. thats the problem with our society..as blacks….

    every connection we have to existence….is a bond of slavery..from africa..to slavery here….we have very little contact with our true selves…or natural selves…… people are still in churches like god is in the sky…….thinkin that jesus will save them…… even when… most any other people will tell you that….. the bible comes from the egyptian ..or kemetic book of the dead…we have been duped….our whole lives…..and so much so… that most of us are comfortable with it……it has become cool…..

    red or blue pill.. its as simple as that….

    its your choice..to know or not know at the end of the day… but at the same token….. dont knock those who are willing to teach…because they are the few and far in between….. if it is not your forte to be taken back to slavery but for one month a year..then simply do not listen

    Actually, a number of older African Americans have expressed that thought (don’t trust whites), or similar sentiments, which, I feel, aren’t far-fetched given the context of their experiences. If you lived during Jim Crow and when lynchings, racial slurs, and other blatant degradation were common (as my grandparents and parents did), of course it affects your view of race relations. On the flip side, it also does not shock me that some older whites still refer to blacks as “colored” or “Negroes” — I think Obama made a great point during his speech on race a few months ago when he described some of the racially offensive language his white grandmother has used, and how he could not “disown” her for her words because they were symbolic of the era in which she had lived.

    One of the most accurate accounts of true and I do emphasize “true” african history is a book called African Philosphy. There are way too many hyped up accounts of african history to try to make us out to be some sort of Superior race. That we are not. Original race we are and I only mean that scientifically that does not make us superior to anybody else. I have long seperated my self from alot of the militant black supremecy books that push idea’s such as Black Jew with no historical fact to back it up. Malcom X his self would let you know that the NOI is an orginization that pushed Racial Supremecy and also s*****ed such movements as Black Jew (Right Knowledge) and the 5% Nation. That is the reason why he left and changed his views and name. Unfortunatley for some african history is way more natural than what you would expect. Since it’s such a big continent also it depends upon what region or tribe you would like to talk about. But most of the country was not any European type couterpart as some may make you believe. We were our own people. Our own religions and our own systems that had a different way of recording time. But then again it depends upon what region or tribe you are referring to because we also did have very advanced nations also.

    News Flash: Dunk’in Donuts has pulled an ad featuring Rachael Ray wearing a Middle Eastern scarf. How foolish is that? So it would be all right if it were an Amish or Swedish scarf? Maybe a Japanese, Irish or Italian scarf? So if I wear Lederhosen (German Shorts) I want to be a bigoted *****? Or if I wear a black jacket and a beret I want to be an “evil” Black Panther? Maybe it would be all right if I just wore a white sheet perhaps and carried an, “I hate anyone of color or race sign”? This right-wing racist sh^t has got to stop!!! And I am absolutely serious.

    “Are we enslaved by our own minds or has racism enslaved us or is it a combination of both factors?”

    @ Sepiastar

    I believe it’s a combination of both… We have racism coming at us from all angles. From the white community, other minorities and also within our own community. If only we as black people would start looking out for each other, respecting one another, and becoming stronger as a community…

    I guess my question would be, how do we stop it within our own community? And why is it that every race wants to discriminate against us but try to copy our swag?!

God wouldnt love that. God is about forgiveness and if you cant forgive people how can you expect God to forgive you? Also, since youre so into the bible you DO know it says not to judge. You are the MOST judgmental person on this site. Youre so full of hate and anger that you will disagree with anything I say just because youre a hater. Even if Jesus christ himself came to you and said I was right, you would still argue with me because Im white. Stop being a hypocrite and get your mind right.

    Thank you for saying that because my parents have expressed their distrust of whites at times, and they’re not ignorant or uneducated by any means. They do remember, however, the days when you were expected to step off the sidewalk when a white person p*****ed, were called the N-word so many times you thought it was your second name, and had to drink from separate water fountains, enter different exits, etc., not to mention heard countless stories across the nation of beatings, murders, and the like that went unpunished.

    You gave me a flashback when you mentioned “Soul on Ice.” :) What other books did your mother introduce to you?

    IMHO The reason every other ethnic group that comes to this country freely discriminates against us because America has demonstrated to the world repeatedly that we’re an emotional people but we are easy to forget. We’ll march, we’ll cry, we’ll complain, but we will not fight (and I don’t just mean get in the streets and fight). We don’t reflect a unified force, therefore, we are not a threat to anyone. If you read many of the comments on this site, in the beginning of this post, everyone just wanted to dismiss the past and MOVE ON. The Jewish community will NEVER allow you to forget the Holocaust but Blacks wish to disregard slavery as the past. We are also the only ethnic group that is seeking acceptance from white America. No other ethic group does. Everyone else (Koreans, Mexicans, Japanese, Indians from India)will build their communities and do business with them but they’re not begging to *****imilate. They will *****imilate to promote capitalism but it’s based on their own criteria, not someone else.

    Once again good point. But that is up for intepretation. I studied this type of material for awhile but to say the Bible refers to us instead of it’s time is a far leap. I mean Caanan or Jordan or Israel or whatever you want to call it sits directly beside Egypt. I’m not doubting that the Hebrews were not a people of color such as the Egyptians (next door neighbor), but there is even DNA evidence that traces the modern day Hebrew back into that area. You didn’t know the scietific communities were paying attention did you? I’m sure there was a lot of intermigling because ot there close proximity to Africa but they are still just Semitic not too much darker than they are now.

    However, we should not thank racists for “letting” us go to school w/ them, eat, and live in peace. That is bull. Miss Lady Jordan…I have an honest quetion for you. Do you feel safe here? I don’t mean safe from the rain or safe from getting hit by a car. Do you feel safe when you go to the doctor

    STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT WHITE PEOPLE THINK, LET’S GET OURSELVES TOGETHER AND EVERYTHING WILL FALL INTO PLACE

    Black people, yes racism and a lot of other unfair practices still exist. We cannot worry about why someone does not accept us. The media, tv, radio, magazines etc. tells us subliminally everyday that the european beauty is the norm or most desirable, but we have to be better than that and see it for what it really is and realize that there is beauty in all races.

    What we can do as individuals is love ourselves, take pride in ourselves and better ourselves. We cannot get caught in traps that are clearly contributing to our own downfall such as drugs, dropping out of school, and having babies too young and out of wedlock. Those three issues contribute to poverty and a lot of destruction in our community. Just because the white man puts drugs in your community does’nt mean you have to indulge in them. The drugs are there because someone is buying them. If no one buys them, they would not be there. Drugs is a form of slavery and is used to control you.

    If you can, get involved in your community to make it a more positive and better place for you and your children.

    More of us need to become entrepreneurs. More of us need to become businessmen, lawyers, engineers, chemist, doctors, bankers etc. All of us can’t be rap stars, singers, dancers, althelics or in the entertainment industry. We need to be able to channel our money back into our own communities. We need black owned businesses, banks etc. We are giving all our money to the man. That’s why he has the power. Other races, become finacially empowered and more self sufficent, WHY CAN’T WE?

Why do we have to demand things that are already given in other areas? We are human like everyone else. Why is it that I have to drive 50 miles to find a grocery store that sells food without pesticides or juice that is 100% juice? This is the fuel we put in our bodies and should be taken seriously as the fuel we put into our minds. Think about it. There is a silent genocide of Black people being performed right here in our own country and most of us don’t even know it and when we are being educated about it we want to reject it as ‘petty’.

    Wow, lol, my parents have many of the same titles at home. I love Richard Wright and Langston Hughes writings, don’t you? Native Son sent chills through me, and I thought Black Boy was powerful as well. My mom also has I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and other books by Maya, and I read The Color Purple (it’s one of my favorite films — I can quote lines verbatim, lol.) I also borrowed my mom’s Toni Morrison novels.

    @realwoman

    Have you read Medical Apartheid? Your mention of the involuntary hysterectomies reminded me of that book, which I have yet to read, but I’ve heard it’s an eye-opener. Also, I’m sure you’re heard of the Tuskegee Experiment, which is well do*****ented.

    On a side note, disparities in health care is a real issue among some African Americans. There are still blacks who put off going to the doctor when a visit could save their lives. As a black woman, for example, I’m particularly aware of the threat of breast cancer for which sisters tend to get diagnosed later and receive lower quality treatment.

    I was extremely baffled maybe more so disappointed by the comments I read, so much in fact I had to stop reading them. It’s obvious that NAS is on an intellectual level that most people whom left a comment are not ready for, and maybe never will be. When people listen to music, for some the first thing that catches their attention is the beat of the track, however when listening to NAS you really don’t pay attention to the beat because what he spits is so profound. NAS is not your average MC he will make you think and most people will feel where he’s coming from if you just listen. As far as him wanting to name his new album Ni**er I personally thought it was genius, and when I seen the art work I was sadden, happy, and motivated. Sad because it hurts me to know that our people endured such treatment, I was happy because we as a people we have come a log way, it also motivated me because we still have a ways to go. I hope NAS continues to push the envelope, and I for one can’t wait for the album to drop!!!!

    Many will not understand when a visionary has a definitive plan for reaching the m*****es. There is always a backlash when an artist decides to push the envelope with thought provoking lyrics and images. Its long overdue and its purpose is to make us feel uncomfortable.”Its bigger than Hip-Hop” folks! When will we decide to stop making these corporate parasites wealthy instead of relying on a clothing line or liquor to be our saving grace for our legacy to leave our children and communities…..***** don’t get me started, The revolution will be televised and only for those that have a digital mentality. *****og is obsolete!

And as far as the people who do things that fit into stereotypes just make it look bad for everyone(i.e. dumb white girls, young black thugs/drug dealers, Mexicans…so on and so forth. you know all the typical types) If everyone could just focus on being individuals and becoming just strong people in their communities maybe people years from now can move past all these stereotypes.

    To chick who mentioned why he changed the name of the album….think about…did he really change the name?????????? NO!

    It’s pure genious and it’s a wake up message for Black Amerrikka! Big up’s to Nas for giving a Holla bout Lucky Dube in the Ni%%er song. Yes, bring back Hip Hop when it meant something…when it taught us something other than how to kill each other!

And I should know, I worked for BET!

    Someone suggested Roots DVD I would suggest “Eyes on the Prize” that’s if you can find it as there was a huge controversy over the footage rights which has restricted its viewing. Please google and read about that. It is our history and those who don’t know it are doomed to repeat it.

    Especially for those of you who thought this image depicted Jesus. You have evidently never seen a lynching or one of slavery. Google “slavery images” I promise you will be stunned.

    Thank you.

    When will black folks ever be accountable for the evil they commit against each other since slavery through today.

    We sell eachother, slander and defame eachother, murder eachother, ridicule eachother for speaking proper english and doing well in school, we beat eachother up, we intentionally sabotage eachothers progress and success and then turn around and blame white people for our oppressed state.

    If black people were blue from blueland and were still so usable for self-destructive purposes than blue people would be the oppressed.

    Black folks for whatever reason get great joy, pleasure, and satisfaction out of hurting other black people so why wouldn’t other races use us to destroy ourselves for their own gain and purposes.

    Slavery happened because black people were fully cooperative and elated to gain from it.

    So, I get and applaud Nas’ message and I say the marks on his back symbolize black and white people’s historic and present day hatred and oppression of black people.

    A partnership that has made many blacks and whites very wealthy since slavery to this day.

    Congrats to Nas and I can’t wait to buy his album!

    Oh, you like autobiographies? Have you read Obama’s yet? His books are also on my list — a friend of mine told me that I will have even more respect for him after reading Dreams From My Father. His life story is very compelling. What are some of your favorites? I don’t agree with his views at all, but I also wanted to read Clarence Thomas’ memoir.

    By the way, I don’t think Bossip has a post about this yet, but this Sunday, June 1, organizers hope to have up to 20,000 black men plan march to protest violence in St. Louis. The march is taking place in north St. Louis, and the initiative is called “A Call to Oneness.”

    Almost everyday I hear the N-Word out of the mouths of children, teenagers, and grown men. So this type of ongoing ignorance does not surprise me. Especially since it is used so regularly throughtout the black race.

    For the people, black and white included, who think that we should just let slavery go and move forward i would like to poiltely tell you to shut the ***** up.

    We can’t move forward because racism and social, ecnomical,and legal provisions remain unbalanced and unfair among blacks.

    Unless you people honestly think that racism doesn’t exist today and all white people would just love racial equality among all minorities, in that case i would prompt you to step out your proverbial cocoons and REALLY look at the world around you.

    Ignorance is not bliss, pretending like racism doesnt exist doesn’t make it go away.

    Oblivious retards.

    Love the cover and like NAS. The moment I looked at the cover I knew the message. So if the word N*GGer was too much show them the back of what happened in our HISTORY. No we should not let it go ever. Look at what Sharon Stone said the Diddy. Think about what happened to Oprah when she went to Hermes. It don’t don’t matter how much you achieve as I black person some white people will still see you as a *****. True Story. Look at the people in WV who refuse to vote for Barack in the general election what do you think they see him as. Hillary made the statement herself those uneducated people won’t vote for Barack why because he is unelectable y because he is black.

    POWERFUL POST

    —————————————————-

    @Circa81

    Dimona is home to Israel’s Black Hebrew community, governed by its founder and spiritual leader, Ben Ammi Ben-Israel.[1] The Black Hebrews number about 2000 in Dimona, with additional families in Arad, Mitzpe Ramon and the Tiberias area. Their official status in Israel was an ongoing issue for many years, but in May 1990, the issue was resolved with the issuing of first B/1 visas, and a year later, issuing of temporary residency. Status was extended to August 2003, when the Israeli Ministry of Interior granted permanent residency.

    I BELIEVE THAT IF HEBREWS WERE NOT BLACK, ISREAL WOULD NOT BE GRANTING ‘NIGGUZ’ PERMANENT RESIDENCY. i could be wrong, but who really cares because i dont believe a word written in the bible and their may have never been a HEBREW. it could all be made up like a virgin birth, and parting the sea, dying and coming back to life, superhuman powers….get my drift.

    I am sooo sorry for my little outburst at white boy. I’m usually a very calm and collective woman, however…he just struck a nerve. I’m sure he struck some other’s too!

    @Ms. Braided Beauty

    I do know what you mean about only meeting the dumb ones, but I honestly think it’s where you are that people and ways vary. Same for all races and stereotypes. It is sad that you’ve been stereotyped b/c I know people just go right for the stereotypical targets for black people too. It’s even harder being biracial b/c you get all kinds of stereotypes thrown at you….but you know what? we all are who we are and if you a strong person, you won’t let anything bring you down…that’s how I’ve gotten through it. I just wish I could reach out to a lot of people who aren’t as open minded as I am….meaning a LOT of white AND black people. But you seem strong and that’s a beautiful thing….now, let’s keep that dumb***** little white boy out of here b/c he IS nothing but a little punk who truly deserves to get beat down for his disgusting mouth!!!!!!

    Once again..Lovely and Amazing with her on point comments. Thank-you. For those that say that we “just can’t let slavery go” tell me then, when can we? What do you propose the proper time should be?

    Because, and quite frankly, we are running out of time.

    We are going to have to accept our advancements as a people and a proper substitute for the atrocities that happened during slavery and we are going to have to reject the pit falls we continue to loose ourselves in. We are going to have to accept our history and try our best to not let it repeat itself–although I am, quite worried about that.

    It’s funny that DIRECTLY after slavery, when we were worth nothing, had nothing–no Tyra Banks to make us feel good about our big booty and nappy hair, where a Don Imus was around every corner, no where to vote, to have our voice heard, no chris rock to make us laugh through pain, no protection–we erected some of the best educational institutions in the country. We were advancing leaps and bounds separate and UNEQUAL.

    And now, today, for some strange reason, we are FAILING. So, when do we get over it because those that were directly tied to slavery did might fine.

    If the only outcome of this album cover was to incite thought-provoking discussions among this generation of black people, then I applaud Nas. This doesn’t happen often enough in our community and we would be better off for it–now if we could just cut out the insults while still focusing on the issues….

    This discussion alone is evidence of our progress thus far as well as the work that we still have to do. Keep on my people, we’ll get there someday

    Nas is one of the most prolific truthful humble gifted rappers out. He’s not for everyone, especially those that like to stay brainwashed clueless & in denial.

  454. Jun 1, 2008 - 5:29 am
    WOW!!

    wow there’s alot to comment on so ill start by saying 1st of all i love the cover Nas is simply exercising his ‘american’ freedoms…i think it takes a very strong individual to do something like that because most hip hop artists now-a-days are so afraid to address real issues for fear of losing popularity, money,success,etc. so for him to step outside of the boundaries that the industry set for hip hop is wonderful to me … now to the message …modern slavery…yes! i do agree that as blacks in america it is very difficult..we do face racism…we are discriminated against in many ways…but do i blame the white man? NO. and i say that because in all reality it has never been about black and white it has always been about GREEN! money..land..oil..riches thats not only what america thrives on its what the WORLD thrives on …thats what its all about …the european just happens to be the current world power so theyre the 1s controlling it…but when the egyptians the world power were they ‘devils’ too? to my knowledge they introduced slavery. so by the same standards that we so called hate this white man by doesnt that mean that we as blacks are all decendants of ‘devils’…orientals were once in power i guess they were ‘devils’ to right? the truth is absolute power corrupts absolutely no matter what color your skin is. to me the most shallow person is the 1 that cant see its bigger than skin tone…the problem we face is way deeper than that…expand your minds…the WHOLE WORLD has issues not just the black community c’mon now…the projects in america would be paradise for some of these ppl in these 3rd world countries…money is the root of all sorts of injurious things …thats what its all about cause just like a rich white man will shun a poor one and feel superior..a black man will do the same…we dont have a special strand of dna called righteous…because if we were so naturally righteous and godly then a white man or no man for that matter would have EVER BEEN ABLE TO TURN US INTO WHAT WE REPRESENT AS A COMMUNITY …its terrible! but answer me this are blacks the only ones commiting crimes? are blacks the only drug dealers? are blacks the only people in poverty in this world? are we the only ones who’s children arent receiving quality educations? are we the only ones with divided households? i mean i can go on and on but the point is its not JUST our community that needs help this whole world is in a very sad sad sad condition its a result of greed and whites were not the 1st greedy people this world has seen …and we as A HUMAN RACE need to examine ourselves and then maybe we can accomplish something

    The Creater God said that he would scatter the Afro Israelites into the corners of the earth and would make the remembrace of them cease from among men(Deut32:26).After the slave traders took the Israelites from the African coast they deported them South,Central,and North Americas even to most Islands of the Caribbean Sea.Dont you know that blk ppl here in the western hemisphere are not supposed to know that they are not the true Israelites and when they hear the news it is supposed to sound incredible to them for the Creator said he would make the remembrance of them cease from men.For century after century, the blk man America thought that his true identity was Negroe or Afro-America, some of us still hold on to this scornful byword today.Nevertheless,the spirit of the Creator is moving among the blk ppl, and many havr rejected this infamous word,NEGRO,and have returned to their true African-Iraelite ancestry.This is the destiny of the blk man in America, and the ultimate objective is the repossession of the land of ISRAEL after the BATTLE of ARMAGEDDON!!! SO WATCH OUT FOR THESE DEVIL ***** NIGGRZ TRYING TO HOLD YOU BACK SHOLAM MY PPL!!!

    When i was a lil kid i too used to TROLL threads looking to ***** people off and stir up peoples emotions for my own personal shock value. I loved it. I used to do that ***** on blackplanet all the time. I had so much fun *****ing strangers off from behind a computer screen. Its funny how many people can get emotional over a strangers comments on the ‘internets’ isnt it. I dont do it any more but you have reminded me of how much fun it was to stir up ***** on a message board. im telling you i was a beast at TROLLING. i’d start all kinds of ***** with people and 98% of the time they would fall for that ***** HOOK LINE AND SINKER. the problem is, it got old. its too easy to ***** a stranger off over the ‘internets’ by saying some dumb *****. so i quit doing it because it was no longer a challenge. with that said.

    Cluster Aggravation

    You know, I have a cluster aggravation or some say a fear of clusters. I don’t fear it actually, but it tears every nerve in my body. I hate this picture of Nas’ back. The cluster look on his back grates every nerve in my body. I have to keep from throwing my computer on the floor! It’s just that certain patterns like clusters does something phenomenal to my nerves and it apparently runs in my family. I hate scales on a fish. I hate to look at grapse sometimes. I hate seeing cells. I hate seeing layered bird feathers. If I think really hard about it, I hate oranges! I hate pinto beans. It’s sooo genetic in my family that my nephew was sight sensitive to patterns. A soccer ball would make his skin crawl as a baby and it made his skin crawl so much that when he would reach out to touch the soccer ball, which had the white and black pattern in a cluster, he would jump. And when my mom would move the ball closer for him to touch when she was holding him, he literally started crawling up on her shoulder around her neck like a squirrel to get away and I had to get him off her neck. He didn’t cry, but that pattern irked him so much that he had to get away and he was only 1 year old nearly 2. It was like my pinto bean freakout. So, seeing this freaks me out! It’s like looking at a bunch of little worms on his back clustering together which is a double whammy! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Will they please take this picture down?!

    Sincerely,

    Freaked Out
