"Nas has joined the fight to end Fox’s pattern of racist attacks against Black(s)

Hip hop star Nas will join members of ColorOfChange.org & MoveOn.org on Wednesday to deliver 620,127 petition signatures demanding that FOX end its pattern of racist attacks against Black Americans including presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. The group will make the delivery at 2:00pm on Wednesday, July 23rd at FOX in Manhattan.
Over the last several weeks, FOX has had a string of incidents that many believe are a veiled attempt to prey on racism and intolerance and cast the Obamas as “outsiders”: an on-screen graphic referred to Mrs. Obama as “Obama’s baby mama,” a pundit “confused” Obama with Osama and then joked they should both be assassinated, and an anchor called a loving fist bump between Barack and Michelle a “terrorist fist jab.” In February, Bill O’Reilly talked about calling a “lynching party” to deal with Michelle."
The Fox (Faux) News Channel and The New York Post (BOTH of which are holdings of multi-media-mega-prick Rupert Murdoch) have a more than questionable history of nasty and downright contemptuous treatment of Black & Latinos and I am glad to see Nas taking it to the streets old school protest style. Hopefully, his fame and his current chart ranking can garner a little bit more press for this event and open Fox News up to some mainstream criticism of their "opinions-stated-as-facts" brand of news reporting. Shepherd Smith is alright though. You've got to know your enemy yall.
