Colorofchange.org and MoveOn.org to deliver well over a half a million signatures to stop what they call racist smearing against African-Americans, including possible democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. Nas is also joining in on the protest and petition against Fox. Nas' opinion of Fox News can be heard in the song, Sly Fox.
The group specifically cites an on-screen graphic that referred to Michelle Obama as “Obama’s baby mama;” an incident in which a pundit seemingly confused Barack Obama with “Osama” and joked that they should both be assassinated; and a comment made my an anchor about a picture of Barack and Michelle giving each other a pound, calling it a “terrorist fist jab.” The group also takes issue with Bill O’Reilly’s February comment, calling for a “lynching party” for Michelle, among other incidents.
"When Fox talks about lynching the woman who may soon be our First Lady and then refers to this wife and mother as a 'baby mama,' they are maligning not only the Obamas, but Black women and Black people across this country," said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org
I am personally boycotting Fox News because of their racist views not only African American/Blacks but also Asian Americans. This needs to stop. Click The link below to sign!
