black…MYstory

Now, if you want to rap about murdering black men, pimping out/disrespecting black women or selling dope to black people, it’s all good. But, if you speak out against a president and his policies, then there are consequences.

That’s what appears to be the lesson here.

Mississippi rap artist, Kamikaze, was recently doing some shows in the Czech Republic in which he expressed his dislike for President Bush and “encouraged fans to scream “f**k George Bush” during his shows.” After he’s back in the States, and just moments before he went on air, Kamikaze was suspended from his co-hosting job at Jackson Mississippi’s WJNT-Talk radio. This stemmed from complaints by one (yes, ONE) angry listener who had read some anti-Bush comments Kamikaze made on his blog at the Jackson Free Press.

Kamikaze has issued to following statement:

“Freedom of speech no longer exists in this country. I just toured a country that used to be under communist rule and they appreciated hearing someone speak out against a government…against a president. I don’t know if im being singled out but its unfortunate that the station caved to some random callers who disagreed with my viewpoints, but as I remember it that’s what this country was founded on. If somebody hadnt spoke out against the government centuries ago, we’d still be ruled by a king and under British rule!”

Gee, I wonder if we end up with say a President Barack Obama or President Hillary Clinton, would WJNT be so eager to suspend hosts for comments made against them.
