Prodigy Goes Off On Racism In The Media

WHY IS THAT? BECAUSE THAT’S HOW WHITE PEOPLE LOOK AT US. THEY ONLY PUT THE ONE OR TWO BLACKS IN, SO WHEN WE CONFRONT THEM ABOUT BEING RACIST FOR NOT HIRING MORE BLACKS THEY CAN SAY “THAT’S NOT TRUE, LOOK THERE’S A BLACK RIGHT THERE, LOOK AND A BLACK THERE!”

YES PEOPLE IN THE CORPORATE WORLD, FROM HOLLYWOOD TO INGLEWOOD RACISM IS ALIVE, KICKING AND AS STRONG AS EVER. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT INSTEAD OF BEING OVERT, NOW THEY’RE BEING COVERT. ‘THEY TOOK THE CHAINS OFF OUR FEET AND PUT EM ON OUR BRAINS”……………………SO, GROWING UP I COULDN’T HELP BUT NOTICE ALL OF THESE THINGS AND SEEING HOW SERIOUS THE PROBLEM IS, MADE ME STOP READING THE FICTION. I THEN STARTED RESEARCHING THE ORIGIN OF ALL THE BULLSHIT. I BEGIN READING ONLY FACTUAL BOOKS ON HISTORY, SCIENCE, CULTURES, POLITICS AND OTHER REAL ISSUES. I BEGAN QUESTIONING PEOPLE AND THEIR BELIEFS/BELIEF SYSTEMS.

Why do some ppl type IN ALL CAPS. If you want to come across as a person who has something meaningful to say then the last thing you should so is type in all CAPS. Kids do that not grown men.

black people gotta start realizing that the world is not against them, yes some people are but put this racism shit behind you and start proving to the raacist that you can better your self. im italian and when my parents came 2 canada everyone made fun of them and called em wop’s(racist term, standing for WithOutPapes) and now Italians are some of the richest people in Canada! Stop worying about the racist and start worrying about yourself..

I feel P’s pain ! I am a black man. When you truely study the opression and deprevation the black man has gone through, truely study our history then you can comment. But to say get over it is a joke ! If you don’t know your past how do you know were you are going ? They don’t teach the truth in schools ! If they did then the world would be a different place. Bottom line is the the black race over history has been shitted on by all other races. I am still yet to see a white indevidual study the truth and allow his fellow white counterparts to know. That as a people we have been forgotten for all our contributions toward civilization apart from sport, music and fashion. IN ALL CAPITALS NOW - THEY SAY THE TRUTH HURTS !

@#8….all teachings on history are biased and presented from a certain vantage point. While there has been great oppression to the blacks through history, that is not and should not be the crutch of a one time rap allstar on his way to prison. It would be incorrect to discrdit Prodigy’s opinion, but this is coming from a lower end product of society and the same ass bag who thinks its wise to bring your 5 year old to the gun range. Also, Good luck with getting a white individual to “speak the truth”…becuase, as a white male, I can assure you we have different views of truth. Instead of focsuing on the history of oprression, the black community should study it, learn from it, and become a collective and productive element to society other then entertainment, sports and the american criminal justice system. The “We are so oppressed” card has been used with alittle too much frequency…especially by the uneducated. Some people play chess….

if you are black and you want to make an excuse for why youre in a certain state look at barack then look at oprah and then look at all the successful bblacks who you might call “oreos” or even rappers like jay 50 and diddy will smith.
think about this think harlem and think two black guys saying “we need more daycares in this neighborhood the kids have no supervision” that is very common, instead of trying to open one another businessman (of another race) sees the demand and opens one hes supplying the need but only hires persons of his race. who is wrong. people from where prodigys from cry cry cry and complain instead of getting up and do anything. if you rely on outside help you wouldnt OWN anything and the helplessness continues. GROW UP .P

prodigy is a legend in this rap shit he is the only artist that
every fuckin rapper in the world had sampled his vocals from gay-z to immortal technique but again this website is for people who are the reason that hiphop is dead

Montana wrote on April 9th, 2008 at 1:51 pm

SO EXACTLY WHAT IS PRODIGY DOING HERE
HE IS BEGGING THE OWNER INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BE AN OWNER.
IF THEY END UP HIRING MORE BLACKS IT WOULDNT MAKE A DIFFERNCE BECAUSE THEY WOULD OWN THAT TOO WHICH GIVES THEM (US) MORE CONTROL BECAUSE THEY WOULD STILL BE OWNERS.

CORPORATE HEADS MAKE FAT FILLING PRODUCTS AND MAKE FAT FREE PRODUCTS THEY OWN BOTH SO WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT THEY STAY ON TOP.
THEY(WE) OWN BET TOO. SO SHUT UP P AND GO MAKE THE (WHITE) GUY WHO OWNS KOCH RICH

Prodigy is a smart ass nigga, and you could hear that in his raps up until like 2002-2003. After that, I don’t know what the f*ck happened, must be the drugs.

Listen to Nas’ “Live Nigga Rap” from 1996 & tell me Prodigy didn’t have potential to be 1 of the best in the game.

Wow I’m so happy to hear P speaking this way and it shows that he’s enlightening himself, and is realizing how we color people are living in this modern day slavery.

MANY ARE SO CAUGHT UP WITH THIS MATERIALISTIC BULL$HIT AND DON’T COMPREHEND HOW WE ARE PRETTY MUCH SET UP FOR FAILURE.

MUCH RESPECT P,

For those that don’t understand what Prodigy is trying to convey through this blog..read it again because you probably need to be educated on this topic the most.

Please don’t write this guy off as another black man complaining about his circumstances and blaming it on white people because it goes way deeper then that. People need to understand that before there was a slavery and the seemingly ‘white (oppurtunist) devils’, there was a idea that came before it. An idea that the world could be controlled under one rule ‘One World Order’ simiular to the capitalist society we live in today, where the ethnic minorities could be effectively used to push the value and the control of the ethnic majority into gravity defying levels in society.

This is wrong…and slavery occured as a result of it. Its easy for a person to say “hey man slavery is finished..so let it go”..but the truth is slavery is still occuring. As Prodigy remarked, the chains are no longer on our feet…they are now on our minds.

The sooner we (all of us) figure this out, the sooner we can all take steps to prevent the evil humans of the earth from essentially turning us all into tax-paying, obedient zombies.

A Real Sista wrote on April 10th, 2008 at 4:50 am

Tax paying, obedient zombies is perhaps a moral oxymoron. I in fact as do millions of other people abide by the law so that was the wrong phrase to use. I simply meant that we need to wake up before all the innovation and creative energy is forced from our minds as humans. We can’t continue to swallow the propaganda that is shoved at us and we must stand strong as a human beings and oppose ALL immoral actions..not matter how powerful or rich the person behind them are.

I am addressing this to all of you but especially those like t dot who try to say blacks blame whites for all of their misfortunes. Yeah, there are some lazy ass black people but there all also some prejudice white people too. I work in NYC and they are very prejudice here, I have actually been hit on the low just because I am a black woman. I see it everyday when I get on the subway, the way they look at me like I am supposed to look like a bum because I am black, shit, I work too. And also I notice that most prejudiced white people don’t like u to bring up racism as if it does not really exist when it is more prevelant than I can ever remember and I am thirty nine years old.
