Y'all know it's Nas yo! After slamming FOX News on his new album, Nas is teaming up with ColorOfChange.org, MoveOn.org, and Brave New Films to deliver a petition to FOX tomorrow in Manhattan at 2PM ET. The petition, which demands FOX stop smearing the Obamas and injecting prejudice into politics, has over 620,000 signatures.
Nas is getting a lot of applause from the blogosphere for grabbing the mic in this campaign and calling out FOX on its racist slander. And according to ColorOfChange.org executive director James Rucker, the applause is well-deserved.
"It is hard to find strong voices willing to step out and call out Fox for what it is—fake news that is harmful to public discourse and to Black America," Rucker told me. "Nas is doing what few are willing to do. It's risky for any musician, entertainer, or other artist to take on a corporate entity because ultimately it can cost them dollars or opportunities. Nas obviously sees the value in speaking the truth and using the stage he has to do it. It's a model for others to follow."
FOX's long history of racism is documented at FOX Attacks. And you can check out Nas's new record here.
