Anyone upset by his remarks and react to them is only adding fuel to his fire. Really though not being black and having never been excluded from somewhere due to my color I can only say that he has a right to speak his mind no matter how ridiculous it may sound.

I agree.  However I also have the right to speak my mind and...

... that\'s my opinion.  There\'s a time to speak out, and there\'s a time to keep your opinion to yourself.  Trust me, we all have certain opinions that the general public would hate, but I have a little more tact than KR-Ass Hole.

i shouldve just figured that if anybody on this board was gonna stick up for krs1 itd be leith..jeez...

Having just read the article, I\'ve got to say that I\'ll cheer when that ****head croaks and leaves this world a better place.

Never heard of him before(never been a real fan of rap) but the guy is a bloody idiot. People like him do absolutely nothing to help the cause of blacks and other minorities and far from adding fuel to his fire, crap like this adds weight to the arguments of right-wing extremists. I personally know many muslims who went around scared to death after 9-11 in case they were targetted by ignorant white racists. They didn\'t cheer when the planes hit, they realised such actions were an affront to Islam and to their cause of being recognised equally within society. OK, so he is entitled to his opinion, but as the king says, even if he is deluded, he should have more tact.

:holyshit: I\'ve just responded to a political type thread - must be a first, but maybe the thread needs an outsider\'s perspective.

Yep. I will pretty much always play Devil\'s Advocate. Sticks and Stones........is a rule of life for me.
 As far as his comments I stand by my belief that he has every right in the world to express how he felt about the bombing. One of the reasons I served this Country was for this very right.  Yeah he may be an ass but maybe w/ no backing track his flow just got fucked up.

[jocelyn]

wow....

Sure he has the right to express his opinion. I\'m with Drew. My opinion is that his opinion makes him both an asshole and totally uninformed.

I\'m sure there were no blacks allowed in the WTC. :rolleyes:

Yeah! Don\'t vote! That\'s the answer!

Instead, just complain, be a celebrity, and enjoy those paychecks!

[leith]

Anyone on this site that is so upset @ his comments. Have you expressed them to him? I mean yeah bitchin\' and grippin\' abt it where the man will nvr see it sounds pretty lame. Go ahead and send him a nastygram if you\'re so upset.

[freddiewaht]

Hey we actually agree abt this It\'s just I\'m a bit more lenient when it comes to condemning a man for WORDS. esp. words that amt to so much B.S.  Also I know that krs-one has been known to make outlandish statements and is kinda known for it as a matter of fact. He is known as a shit starter. Ever hear the term Wah? All I was sayin\' is maybe as a nonblack man I cannot fathom his position enough. His comments on voting were pure ass though no matter what color u r.
