Blacks 'cheered when 9-11 happened'Like I said, some people just shouldn't be voting in this... KRS-One is one of them and I'm glad he recognizes this, regardless of how he arrived at this conclusion.If Osama bin Laden ever buys a rap album, he'll probably start with a CD by KRS-One.
The hip-hop anarchist has declared his solidarity with al-Qaida by asserting that he and other African-Americans "cheered when 9-11 happened," reports the New York Daily News.
The rapper, real name Kris Parker, defiled the memory of those who died in the terrorist attacks as he spouted off at a recent New Yorker Festival panel discussion.
advertisement"I say that proudly," the Boogie Down Productions founder went on, insisting that, before the attack, security guards kept Blacks out of the World Trade Center "because of the way we talk and dress.
"So when the planes hit the building, we were like, 'Mmmm - justice.' "
The atrocity of 9-11 "doesn't affect us the hip-hop community," he said. "9-11 happened to them, not us," he added, explaining that by "them" he meant "the rich ... those who are oppressing us. RCA or BMG, Universal, the radio stations."
Parker also sneered at efforts by other rappers to get young people to vote.
"Voting in a corrupt society adds more corruption," he added. "America has to commit suicide if the world is to be a better place."
KRS-One respondes to this...
Typical Anti-American hate propaganda. He will go down in flames like the terrorists he sympathizes with.
Why could'nt he have been in one of the Two Towers. If he knew anybody in them he would be rappin a different tune.
KRS-One is a spoiled little black boy with his lip stuck out.
