Unfortunately, specifically in the video posted above, nearly every word of the Asian reporter is correct. In both interviews: with the gangster rap apologist and Malik Shabazz.

In America of 2007 in cities such as Washington D.C and Atlanta GAnearly 25% (1 out of every 4) BLACK woman will be sexually assaulted by a BLACK man. I used to work as a volunteer MOAR (Men organized Against Rap) with two African-American female friends who counselors for WOAR (Women organized Against Rape) and one of the most corrosive elements in the African-American community today is the vitrolic misogny dripping out of the mouths of the hip-hop traitors trolling the airwaves.

Just yesterday there was a type of town meeting on Oprah with the black moguls of the hip-hop industry (Russell Simmons, etc) trying to defend the gangstas and ho's and big-butts waving all over the airwaves. These black men, who are millionaires off of the backs of their nefarjious products, blamed everybody but themselves. And they were soundly (all except Common, whose music does not reflect this genre) rejected by the African-Americans (young and old) in the audience.

I heard nothing from the mouth of this Asian woman that I did not hear from African-American mouths yesterdya.

Worst still, is the avoiding of personal accountability by the tired culpability of antique slavery. In Brazil, slavery ended later than in America (1888 - I have met people who are the grandchildren of slaves) and there is grinding poverty that makes our ghettos seem like paradise but you don't see the systematic preying of black men upon black women. To the contrary, it is the poisonous venom of our African-American gangster hip-hop that now enters Brazil and seeks to denigrate women there as they do in the United States.

In Brazil, hip-hop out of the favelas as manifested by such artists as MV Bill is political. They recently united to unanimously pull out of a show when the promotor reneged on a promise to share the profits with the favelas. The urged the American artists to join them but they refused.

In Durham, three of the main persons who de-railed the accusations against the Duke students were BLACK. These black people saw the inconsistencies in the young woman's story. They love their people as well a anyone else. But they felt no need to injustly judge three whites as PROXY for the centuries of injustice heaped upon our people. You would do well to listen to how the Durham, North Carolina African-American community is handling the release of the three students based upon the mountain of evidence that exonerates them and not a bunch of people who do not live there. I have much faith in the combined wisdom of the black community who are searching for solutions to the gut and visceral problems that affect us and are not searching for a cause celebre.

Malik Shabazz is reaching when his accusations against three people in 2007 is based upon historical actions that took place 300, 200, 100 years ago. If he is telling me that, as a lawyer, he would ignore the trail of photos, phone calls and STATEMENT FROM THE GIRL'S GOOD FRIEND (another African-American woman) and still pursue this case then I have to question his credentials as a lawyer or question his personal integrity. If these were three African-Americans and the case was NOT thrown out I would have to go down to North Carolina to protest that injustice.

The District Attorney, Nifong, is currently trying his best not to be dis-barred for his actions. And right now, it appears that he will be.

We should be carefulwhen we, a people who want to build and maintaina RIGHTEOUS movement, are quiet about unrighteous actions against others. What then stops us from being imperialists, besides our lack of economic and military power?
