Media Field Day

Yeah I'm back today after a taking off this shit to work and handle other shit outside the internet world. So I was on allhiphop.com and saw a video interview on David Banner, who has a voice in the midst of darkness. After watching the video I have come to the conclusion that we need more people like this in hip-hop culture. He may not speak for all black people like your Oprahs and Jesse Jacksons, but he speaks for the young generation. In the video started right at it, what we've heard about constantly constantly on the news, Michael Vick. Banner was like 'how could we sit back and watch white America just obliterate this man like they're doing, and he's one of us'. It was something that needed to be said and something that I needed to hear. After hearing and seeing so many white correspondents and legal experts cut down this talented athlete, I needed to hear someone that I could relate to speak about it. Even though the acts that Vick was apart of was not right and inhumane, there's a lot worse shit out there to focus on. Now they done raided DMX's home and seized his dogs just off of probable cause. And even though nobody wants to jump on a sinking ship because they'll drown too, give Vick a break. It just goes to show how much underlying and concealed hatred that white folks have for us still to this day. And I almost sure that if it was a white entertainer or athlete, it would not have been as severe. But what can you do, in this society to be a successful minority, you have to be squeekly clean or else you'll be where O.J. is and where Vick is now.
