“Artist/Activist” Mos Def, a hip-hop musician and actor, matched Rosie O'Donnell Friday night on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher in espousing a bizarre 9/11 theory which absolves Osama bin Laden as he also characterized George Washington and the Catholic church as “terrorists,” maintained that terrorists have legitimate grievances and trashed America as the threat to the world. [Be warned, this posting includes numerous profanities in accurate quotations.] Def contended that “George Washington and all them dudes was terrorists as far as the Queen was concerned,” charged that “the Catholic church's stance about child molestation is a form of terrorism in and of itself” and when asked by Maher if bin Laden was behind destroying the World Trade Center, declared “absolutely not.” Def asserted that “highly-educated people in all areas of science have spoken on the fishiness around the whole 9/11 theory.”

A few minutes later, Def defended terrorism as a response to America's misdeeds: “Let's deal with the fact that there are valid reasons even to a lot of terrorists' arguments, quote unquote, terrorists' arguments about why are they frustrated with colonial presence, imperial presence. The way that this government has pursued its foreign interests has been meddlesome, murderously meddlesome.” Directing his ire at President Bush, Def asserted that “this administration and this government has sought to suppress everyone and no one has sought to suppress America in quite the same way,” yet the U.S. goes “to these places and fucking kill[s] people.”

IMDb's bio page for Mos Def, whose birth name was Dante Terrell Smith, with a rundown of his movie and television show roles from Monster's Ball to Spin City to NYPD Blue.

Transcript of some highlights, or lowlights, from the September 7 Real Time with Bill Maher on which Mos Def was joined on the two-man panel by radical far-left Princeton University professor Cornel West:

MOS DEF: When the Revolutionary War was going on, George Washington and all them dudes was terrorists as far as the Queen was concerned. [The Queen? A King ruled Great Britain at that time.]

....

DEF: I don't believe it was bin Laden today, I don't believe it was never him. I think it's some dude just standing, I don't even, I can't even believe. I don't even, I'm sorry, I'm from the projects, I know danger. I don't feel no danger from that shit, those mother-fuckers.

BILL MAHER: But you don't think bin Laden knocked down the Word Trade Center?

DEF: Absolutely not.

MAHER: Come on.

DEF: I don't. I don't. You know what, I don't.

MAHER: That's where you lose me, my friend, and I'm so on your side, but you know what.

DEF: In any barbershop I am so not alone, I'm so not alone.

MAHER: That doesn't mean you're right.

DEF: That don't mean it is not valid neither. Highly-educated people in all areas of science have spoken on the fishiness around the whole 9/11 theory. It's like the magic-bullet and all that shit.

MAHER: Then what happened?

DEF: I don't believe these mother-fuckers have been to the moon either, but that's just me.

....

DEF: The Catholic church's stance about child molestation is a form of terrorism in and of itself.

....

DEF: Let's say these terrorist cells and all this al Qaeda is the boogie-man, okay, that's it, right. Why are they upset? Let's deal with the fact that there are valid reasons even to a lot of terrorists' arguments, quote unquote, terrorists' arguments about why are they frustrated with colonial presence, imperial presence. The way that this government has pursued its foreign interests has been meddlesome, murderously meddlesome.

MAHER: I agree with you and, you know, this is how dumb Bush is. He flies into Iraq this week and he lands at this giant base that, by the way, Saddam Hussein built, where there's ten thousand American troops. This is the problem, that they're in the heart of the Muslim world where we have a giant military base. This is a stone in their shoe. They're never going to stop-

DEF: It will be a stone in our shoe. No country has had the access, or even the ambition, to occupy us the, to occupy us, them. This administration-

MAHER: Calm down.

DEF: This administration and this government has sought to suppress everyone and no one has sought to suppress America in quite the same way. No one has even had the ambition. People want to be America's friend. People want to get along. Send me some movies, send me some Levi's, will you hang out with me? Everybody wants to be America's friend and America go to these places and fucking kill people. That shit is crazy.

Another proud moment for the BLACK COMMUNITY!

What a shame..he played such

What a shame..he played such a good part in a movie called Something thr Lord Made about the first open heart surgury in this country..what a piece of black trash he is.

Once again..

Mos Def - a legend in his own mind.

"Yeah, that's the ticket!" - Tommy Flanagan

Darfur, Rwanda?

I wonder how he feels about these subjects, and if we should be "murders" there.

Yes, we're sorry too.

We're sorry the democrats made sure that " You're from the projects. "

We understand, it's another world, it's not even the USA, and someone like you should not be on TV eckspressin' yourself. Maybe you should go back to the projects, where it's a lot more like Iraq right now than you would like us to believe, but it's not George Bush or the Coalition Forces there in the projects, it's your gang bang bruh's who didn't make it out ta the war zone drug dump the hippy dems gat cha in.

 Mhhhm.. it's just crazy weez' killins peoples....

 Would you like to give me the war zone death rates of, I'm sorry, where you're from "tha projekz" ?

 I suppose there, you think a lot like the "insurgents", huh. It's not much different than tribal families, but yaz callz emz gangs... that's why binny didn't do it, but "tha cops" did, meaning GWB gov ?

 Whatever.

 " I'm sorry, I'm from the projects." YES WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT TO DEMOCRATS, BUT THEY WON'T LISTEN.

So what is the solution?

Anyone who thinks this war is just about revenge against America for "meddling" in the Middle East, is "Mos" ignorant.

Islam has been at war with the West (and with any who would dare stand in its way) since its inception almost 14 centuries ago.

Fascist Islamists are gleeful that Leftists have taken this moment in history to turn against their own culture yet again.

We thought the cold war was over, but the tireless ideologues of the Left who were the lap-dogs and excuse makers for Stalin, Castro, and Mao, have now found another group of psychos to flirt with - like a 14-year-old girl bringing home a scum-bag boyfriend to get revenge on her daddy for telling her what to do.

 

Parker

"like a 14-year-old girl bringing home a scum-bag boyfriend to get revenge on her daddy for telling her what to do." That is exactly my impression....

When he brayed his belief that the moon landings didn't happen either, he spoke volumes.  He's like the crazy bum that rants on the street that everyone trys to avoid or ignore...but Bill puts him on the air.

Happy Trails...

The artist/activist??????

The artist/activist?????? So now every "celebrity" who goes on TV and talks trash about the US is an "activist"? ROFL!

Yeah, Mos, you right. They just "want  to be America's friend."  They just want us to send them some movies, some Levi's, and go "hang out" with them. (The operative word being "hang.") 

Another self-made preacher from the Church of Idiocy.

 

 

OBL: Fortune teller extrordinaire!

The way that this government has pursued its foreign interests has been meddlesome, murderously meddlesome.

So Mr. Def's rationalle for the 9/11 attacks was that whoever hit us was justified because of "this government('s)" foreign policy? The 9/11 Commission determined that planning for the attacks began as much as five years before they were carried out - that would be, let's see ... 1996.

So either Osama is the world's greatest psychic and knew that come 2001 he'd need a plan to attack America to punish the new administration's foreign policy, or it was Bill Clinton's foreign policy that set him on this course.

Take your pick. 

(Of course, everyone on this board knows that the real fault lies with Jimmih Cahtuh; radical Islam really came to the fore on his watch, and he did jack-all about it...)

Goes to show you that money and fame do very little in terms of giving you wisdom -- in fact, you become dumber and more morally ignorant.

Mos Def -- you are a perfect example of why young people need to turn off their radios and "read a ************* book!"

It's obvious

...this learned gentleman missed his calling. Why is he wasting his time on a two-bit cable show? He should be walking the hallowed halls of an ivy league school amongst the other erudite scholars.

Yes, and Hitler had legitimate grievances as well, right?  I mean his country wuz meesed up n' stuff from dem dudes in dat first World War dat messed up his cribz, right?

Holy crap...I read the mindless ramblings of idiots like this and I begin to wonder about giving every citizen the right to vote.  Shouldn't we give an exam before twits like this are given the vote?  And Maher too!

Now Wijg, you know the rules......only liberals are allowed to use Hitler as a comparison to anybody............

MAHER: I agree with you

MAHER: I agree with you and, you know, this is how dumb Bush is. He flies into Iraq this week and he lands at this giant base that, by the way, Saddam Hussein built, where there's ten thousand American troops. This is the problem, that they're in the heart of the Muslim world where we have a giant military base. This is a stone in their shoe. They're never going to stop-

I hate to break it to you Billy Boy, but there's talk of the Iraqis actually wanting a permanent US military base in Iraq. Sorry you didn't get the memo.

As for Mos Def or Most Dumb, whatever he wants to call himself, you know nothing of what you speak. You must have been edumacated in a public inner city school thanks to your heros in the democrat party. 

This is the bad side of the internet

It allows whackos and other twits to search each other out and reinforce their twisted and bizzare view of reality. Then, if they happen to be a "famous" person, they get a vehicle to present these bizzarre and strange theories to the world as if they have any merrit at all.

DEF: I don't believe it was bin Laden today, I don't believe it was
never him. I think it's some dude just standing, I don't even, I can't
even believe. I don't even, I'm sorry, I'm from the projects, I know

This has to be a close runner up to the answer from Miss Teen South Carolina. The only thing he's missing is the "such as".

This Baffon

This buffoon has all the political acumen of a shoe.  Just because he’s made a few bucks exploiting the ignorance of his fellow urban jungle dwellers hardly qualifies him as expert or knowledgeable on anything.  He can’t even speak proper English and if it wasn’t for his so-called talent as an “urban poet” I doubt he could secure employment at anything above flipping hamburgers.

The other twit with him is a notorious ‘60’s style black communist college professor.  He has either been pumping this ignoramus full of this crap for weeks or either has his had up his butt moving his lips for him.

OMG! Mos Def

Dante Terrell Smith and I actually agreed on something???

"DEF: I don't believe it was bin Laden today,"

The latest video release IS NOT Osama bin Laden, Little Dante.

(Why in heck did his parents name him that? Of course with parents named Sheron Smith and Abdul Rahman - what do you expect?)

Has it been released that he's a Islamist? Or lapsed one?
(Mos Def was first exposed to Islam at age 13 by his father. He became a Muslim at age 19 after getting to know Muslim rappers including Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Q-Tip of the group A Tribe Called Quest)

He's just as likely to be killed in this Jihad of theirs as this Catholic girl!

 

mos stupid

Mos Def is proof that Bill Cosby is right.

Mos Def and his ilk are the 'mos' destructive force in the African American community, ever.

More destructive than the KKK could ever be.

His own children will suffer.

And he is destroying his own community for the cash.

How sad.

Anyone this stupid has spent way too much time in the hood listening to the various conspiracy theories that were initiated by liberal Democrats, designed to keep Blacks beholden to them over the years.

Unfortunately, too many of the "horror stories" and legends have evolved from political rhetoric into conventional wisdom within that community...

And they have suffered far too long as a result.

Liberals should be ashamed...but we know they're not.

 

Hey, that panel is getting

Hey, that panel is getting a little under-populated. Where's the token conservative?

Mos Def doesn't think we went to the moon. Does he also think that the government blew up the levees in New Orleans? No, don't answer that. Someone that poorly educated will believe anything. I can only imagine someone like John McWhorter on the panel, shaking his head in disgust and wondering if he will ever be taken seriously by a select few of his own people.

He's from the Moon

He obviously spends enough time on the Moon to know if anyone else was there.

What a "motherfucking" Moron!

Don't you just love the

Don't you just love the patronizing attitude from Maher?

That's where you lose me, my friend, and I'm so on your side, but you know what.

Exactly what "side" is that, "my friend"?

Woof woof

Instead of reading what these uneducated jerks say, just read Maher's questions and statements and pretend he's talking to Lassie. The results are the same!

Maher: But you don't believe Bin Laden knocked down the World Trade Center?

Lassie: Woof woof.

Maher: C'mon, Lassie!

Lassie: Woof woof!

Maher: That's where you lose me pal and I'm so on your side.

Lassie: Woof woof

Maher: And then what happened?

Lassie: Woof woof!

Maher: Calm down!

ROTFL!! I didn't know

ROTFL!!

I didn't know Lassie was from the projects. I hear the man in always trying to keep her peeps down, too.

Ahhh, more wisdom  and

Ahhh, more wisdom  and revelations from one of the uneducated, on the left side of nuts. A proud member of the hollywood stupid crowd. Ignorance must be some kind of reward there. Do these people know anything that is true? Or do they just all think this was on the left coast? Did this guy ever finish the 3rd grade?

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

"I don't believe it was

"I don't believe it was never him.."

   So, Def..  clear this up for me..  you DO believe it was him?  Dude, you gotta watch out for those double negatives..  

Notice he says "us"

DEF: It will be a stone in our shoe. No country has had the access, or even the ambition, to occupy us the, to occupy us, them. This administration-

Here's where Mos gives himself away.  He thinks when the US is attcked they will call him in advance and tell him where it's going to happen and let him get away.

Notice he says the United States attacked "us", then he tries to backtrack and says "them".

 Let me get this

 Let me get this straight....Mos Def said???.....who in the Sam Hill gives a rodents,  red,  gluteus maximus what Mos Def said..oh,  and just who the hell is Mos Def?  I mean really,  I don't know who he is.  The Slavery Party runs out another acolyte and everyone is supposed to stand up and notice? He wouldn't amount to a mosquito on an elephants butt.  And Maher is a known coward, so neither one of them ought to ever speak of any soldier except in a good light, these sorry yellow bellies.

What a Jackass

DEF: "That don't mean it is not valid neither. Highly-educated people in all areas of science have spoken on the fishiness around the whole 9/11 theory. It's like the magic-bullet and all that shit." 

I'm trying to recall the last scientific article I've read that summarized its findings with "the fishiness" of the topic at hand....hmmm, none come to mind, but I'll keep looking.   

Why doesn't Mr. Def (dumb, blind and stupid) perform his "act"for his new friends, Islamic Fundamentalists. I'm certain his brand of artistic performance would thrill them to no end. 

They would then, no doubt waste no time sawing his head off for his unique form of "artistic expression". The even bigger idiot here is Maher (but we knew that already) who lets this guy continue to spew this nonsense unabated.  

It's useless to waste anymore time commenting on him. Period. 

 

"Good News is not News" MSM mantra.

Sounds like all those drugs

Sounds like all those drugs fried that little pea-brain of his.

Hey Def, check in to a hospital. Your botched lobotomy didn't take.

Def and Dumb

Imagine someone like Def at your workplace.

You wouldn't even pay attention to him as he emptied the office wastebaskets and mumbled about 'justice.'

But Bill Maher features him on his show to educate his audience.

Wow!

Bill Meher has a habit of

Bill Meher has a habit of putting on people on his show with little or no informed opinions, just fools with idiotic imaginations.

Sort of like himself.

Mos Def must stand for Mostly Mentally Deficient

Apparently this moron did not hear bin Laden take credit for 9 11 yesterday AGAIN in his released video.

So wonderful the racist Bill Maher puts on his panel such degrading examples of stupidity for the black community.

NAACP where are you tagging Maher for his racism?

Apparently this moron did not hear bin Laden take credit for 9 11 yesterday AGAIN in his released video.

Concur LC.

Is Maher's guest insinuating OBL has been/is lying?  Isn't publicly calling a Muslim leader a liar also a shameless display of the same American arrogance that Maher's guest is accusing the Bush Administration of using to disenfranchise Muslims?

Obviously Maher's guest requires some rehab at a Mosque in Karachi.  I'm sure that will give him a new perspective on insulting Muslims.  And a new found respect for the freedoms he takes for granted here in the US as well.  Maher is a lost cause.... 

Is Mos Def short for Mos

Is Mos Def short for Mos Def.....initely clueless?

Idiot

So Osama didn't bring down the towers, terrorism doesn't really exist, yet they have valid reasons for doing it?!

I guess the gov't bombed the Cole, commited the first WTC bombing, etc. etc. ?!  Clinton must have been in on it too.

I know logic doesn't apply here. 

Another Hollywood idiot on my list to avoid.  I'm running out of paper.

Yea Def, take some movies to Bin Laden..

Yea Def. Take some of your favorite Holywood movies and a few good CD's of American rap music to Bin Laden, and ask if you can hang out with him.

People want to be America's friend. People want to get along. Send me some movies, send me some Levi's, will you hang out with me?

He'll have you killed, of course.

His hosts in Afghanistan, the Talilban, did their best to destroy the country's film archives. A few brave men managed to hide much of the original copies, by removing a door and plastering in the wall. They then removed a light fixture at the end of a hallway, so the cover was less evident. All have death warrants on their heads.

This is a perfect example

This is a perfect example of three segments of our culture today.

West typifies the education system we are send our children into

Mos typifies the culture sewer our children are entering into

Maher typifies our 'Hollywood entertainment' culture.

I particularly liked Mos initial rant that "O'Reilly and his ilk just bring on retired military so-called experts that don't know squat, to pump up the war" just minutes after Maher had on a retired army colonel to trash Bush and the military, and who when asked where he got is military intelligence input said he got if from his 'retired' military intelligence friends.

Mos and West insist that there are two Americas and that they demand to be let into 'white' America. I hope they tivo'ed this show so they can watch themselves and gain a better understanding of why there are two Americas.

After watching this show, my only question is 'how can we re-enforce the fence between the two Americas?'

very well put.

I would add a further differentiation...

There ARE two Americas:

One where the members understand how reality works, the cause and effect of things and accept that. They live their lives with this knowledge and do well. They take responsibility for their actions and their choices and their failures.

One where the members are in denial about reality. They do not understand cause and effect and often reverse the two. They are constantly surprised by reality and can't understand how things come about. They live their lives thinking that there is a conspiracy that is meant to keep them confused. They beleive that others are the cause of their failure and think that they are owed what it is they want.

The sad part is that membership in either "America" is purely by choice and is only enforced by themselves.



The day that "politician" became a career choice is the day we started losing the Republic. Let's get it back! Fred08.com

Gullibility personified...

Dante Terrell Smith born on 12/11/73 in Brooklyn. You can't chalk it up to being young. Maybe he's trying to get some press as a large number of his critics say he's all done. I guess you could attribute it to who he hangs out with. If he associates with the likes of ole Bill there then it's self explanatory. (If you lie down with fleas, do you get up with dogs?)

Happy Trails....

Race has nothing to do with this, okay?

I like Mos Def as an actor---he killed in the Italian Job---but his ignorance here is stunning. He spouts the same left wing platitudes that are expected of a guest on Bill Maher's shows; but they come from both black and white. So if you want to criticize him for his stupidity in this issue, feel free and I'll second that. But please don't start in trying to act as though he is some kind of spokesman for the Black community, or that his opinions are those of the broader mass of Black people. It is attitudes and comments like that which makes it so hard for conservatism to get a foothold in the Black community. We are all individuals with our own takes on issues, don't continue to make the mistake of looking at us as some monolithic entity that has one "leader", on spokesperson, and one point of view.

I rest my case

I agree, and I will no longer look at you as a monolithic entity that votes 95% democrat. I will instead look at you as a group of individuals, 95% of whom vote democrat. The other 5% are on the highest levels of the Bush administration.

Isuppose that was sarcasm?

Even it was, that would be a good start for you, because even if 95% of Blacks vote Democratic, that does not mean they agree with all of the policies that Democrats stand for. The Democratic Party has, since the 1960s, put on the more welcoming face for Black voters even when their policies haven't been the best for them. The problem with the GOP has been that too many in leadership positions look on the Black community as a lost cause and are unwilling to make any movements to invite Bkacks into the Party.

Let me give you my little anecdotal situation: A couple of years ago I was at the Dixie Classic fair in Winston-Salem, NC walking through one of the pavilions when I came across booths that had been set up by the local Democratic, Republican, and Libertarian Parties. The Democrats saw me coming and engaged me in conversation and gave me some literature, the Libertarians asked me to sign a petition to get them listed as an official party in the state again, but when I got near the GOP booth they ignored me completely. I have been registered as a Republican since 1996, and have voted for Republican candidates in every election that I have voted in, yet the GOP workers looked at me and evidently decided that it wasn't in their interests to even speak to me. It is attitudes like that which makes many Blacks stay with the Democrats---they would rather stick with the devil they know, than the one they don't.

And besides, all I am asking is that people don't listen to what Mos Def or others are saying and immediately assume that all Blacks feel the same way. How wold you like it if I decided that all Whites have the same views and opinions as Bill Maher?

ae... Why didn't you go

ae...

Why didn't you go ahead and initiate the conversation with the republicans if they really intentionally ignored you?

According to the web site

According to the web site mmnb he converted to muslim in 1997.

He's Islamic?

That's hilarious! If he attempted to do his "artistic" thing in most any Islamic country, they would happily cut his rap crappin' head off for it.

Happy Trails...

Mos Def he is Islamic

YEP

" Tackling a broad swath of issues that include water rights, African American self-esteem, and the destiny of humankind, Mos enlightens the listener as well as entertains. Taking on such issues, he says, is an Islamic mandate. "If Islam's sole interest is the welfare of mankind, then Islam is the strongest advocate of human rights anywhere on Earth," says Mos."

Why is it that persons labeled "Activist" by the MSM tend to be uninformed intellectually insubstantial platitude-spouting lemmings?

It helps when every time you see or hear the word "activist," just think "kook."

It makes for a much more entertaining read.

Def asserted that “highly-educated people in all areas of science have spoken on the fishiness around the whole 9/11 theory.”

And then Def made it clear he was not one of those scientists nor one of the "highly-educated people" but that he was just a pimp doin' what a pimp does...spekulatarizing (or whatever that big a$$ cracker word is).

Shut up and blog! If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal. Go Rudy!

Retards in America...

Someone said that somewhere around 30 % of the American people believe that some U.S. government entity or other orchestrated 9/11. The reponse was, "that tells me that around 30% of the people in America are retarded."

I understand that a bunch of the folks that participated in the investigation of 9/11 believe that there's something being hidden. The conspiracy nutcakes are making much of this. It just goes to show that being retarded is not just something for the genreal public. Legislators and others are quite capapble of being idiots as well.

Happy Trails...

I dont know about anyone

I dont know about anyone else, but....I feel so much smarter after that

always has on such educated well informed people. I think ABC should
really look into getting him back on network tv.

Hopefully, the next career move for Bill will be broadcasting live from New York City   - - on shortwave radio.

"Highly-educated people in

"Highly-educated people in all areas of science have spoken on the fishiness around the whole 9/11 theory."

Really? Can you name a few of them other than those in the barbershops you frequent?

Does this list include areas of science such as botany, zoology, agriculture, or creative sand-box building?

Perhaps someone can answer this for me.

Once again, Billy Maher invites the weakest of straw men on his "show". So, is Maher so delusional and so desperate for ratings that he needs to have the intellectually challenged to spew yet more bile?

Liberal: a power worshipper without power. George Orwell

What??

 

 

DEF: This administration and this government has sought to suppress everyone and no one has sought to suppress America in quite the same way. No one has even had the ambition. People want to be America's friend. People want to get along. Send me some movies, send me some Levi's, will you hang out with me? Everybody wants to be America's friend and America go to these places and fucking kill people. That shit is crazy.

 

C'mon Def, read a book!!!

 This is another fine example of our education system.  If anyone is suppressing Americans, it's the Liberals.  Has anyone ever had an intelligent political conversation with a Liberal (if you didn't agree with them) when you didn't walk away in confusion?  If they can't baffle you with BS, they rant and rave and call you ugly names until you walk away disgusted. 

Stop global warming. Ball-gag a liberal.

Mos Def is most definitely....

 

...the single most imbecilic human being I have ever seen on TV.

Before now it was Bill Maher.

Amazing

I am always amazed (and reminded daily) how dumb these "celebrities" are about what's going on in the world. What kinds of myths and stories are floating around in their brains to cause them to see the world in such odd and out of touch terms? Is it the impact of "the hood"? Is it fatherless families? Is it drugs? Who knows?

I'd be willing to bet that this prod o' proj (product of the projects, as he called himself) couldn't pass the entrance exam for any branch of the armed forces...which means he ain't qualified to swab out the garbage grinding locker aboard any Navy ship.  He would, however, make a good bayonet dummy for the jarheads.

It's a shame that, when Swill Maher is going to invite a piece of human trash like this clown on his "show," he doesn't also invite a sharp young Marine to sit opposite and counter this bozo's comments.  But if they did that, we wouldn't need NewsBusters, would we?

BTW...did he write, "...hip hop musician?"  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...ooooo...hehehehehehe...oh, my belly hurts! 

Sunrise at sea; a breeze across the deck, salty spray tickles the face, the aroma of fresh coffee, stack gas, and haze-gray paint is in the air.  Another Navy day aboard ship as a Navy Chief...the perfect life! 

ok chief

but, we ignore the arthritis in the cup holding fingers and that little bit of a breeze that blows the taxicab drivers hat over the side.

Def

 Def has the intelligence of a mild retarded ten year old. The perfect spokesman for black America.  

Slick

I have to take issue with your post. He may be the accepted spokesperson ( among others), but he is hardly perfect. Black America needs someone along the lines of Bill Cosby, Walt Williams, or somebody like them to speak for them. As long as they let the basest of their community be their "face", they will not move ahead.

Btw, it is the msm that keeps the hip hoppers and al sharptons of the world in the public eye.

mos def

Well, if a brilliant scholar such as Mos Def harbors these opinions, how can they not be true?  After all , so many "highly educated" folks hold the same view, as he declares.  But in his tiny little pea-brain, is a "highly educated" person one who completed the eighth grade?

The term "highly educated"

The term "highly educated" has become one of those throwaway euphemisms designed to give someone like Mos Def credibility cover when making breathtakingly ignorant public claims.  Anyone who knows the average college professor knows that education is no substitute for intelligence...so many of these people make good money for very little work and still don't have a pot to piss in (I'm sorry, that should probably read..."still don't have a pot in which to piss").  There are many "highly-educated" idiots in the world...they just sacked one in Boulder.  Besides, I have to question the intelligence of anyone whose life goal is to achieve tenure.  

What is it with this new

What is it with this new breed of black performers and their names? What the hell is a "Mos Def" or a "Tupac Shakur" or a "Snoop Dog" or a "50 Cent" or a "P Diddy" or a "Puff Daddy" or a... it gets old; it's been played. How can I take somebody seriously when they have a name like "Mos Def"?

Who cares?

Ignore them....I do.

Hasn't cost me a moment's sleep, either.
