RZA Says America Needs To Be More Open To Having A Female President

RZA Says America Needs To Be More Open To Having A Female President

During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, RZA voiced his staunch support for equality in politics when it comes to getting a woman into the White House as the President of the United States.

“I would be onboard with [a female president] because I understand that the world has yin and yang, and that would be very interesting for our country in the sense of its history,” RZA says. “Seeing Barack Obama become president echoes the struggle for blacks to get out of slavery and then to see that somebody, 100-plus years later, can grow to be in that position. But even after slavery was abolished, women’s rights were still not and they still had to fight for the right to vote. Why not take it another step further and give a female a chance?”

The rapper invoked the Declaration of Independence again when relaying his support for a female president. “When it says ‘All men are created equal,’ look at what that means: That means black men, brown men, red men, yellow men, white men, wo-men. She’s a form of a man as well,” RZA says. “Everybody starts off as that same cluster of cells, so I’m into that. I would support that.”

The producer-rapper stopped short at endorsing Hillary Clinton or Carly Fiorina — “I haven’t read into [Hillary’s] policies and what she’s going to hook up” — but says that the impact of electing a female president would be as significant as Obama’s win.

Are you pickin’ up what RZA is puttin’ down? Are you ready to see a woman lead this country into greatness?
