Hey wazzz,
What's with the rabbit? You plan on hopping from borough to borough, state to state or mainland to Tortola, St Croix or St Thomas?

Take a look at this minute-long YouTube taken at Obamba's inauguration, where the singer/rapper Lupe Fiasco has his mic cut off and is forced off stage by fat thugs for singing: Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say s**t That’s why I ain’t vote for him, next one either I’m a part of the problem, my problem is I’m peaceful And I believe in the people. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Bvtc_whnIVMShades of thuggish Nigeria in the 70's - 90's on Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fela_Kuti |

OK, I get it \. Some people on the inauguration team were heavy handed and skitish about Lupe. Just goes to show the power of the Zionist lobby in the US. (Note: I did not say "Jewish").
The organizers should have know all about Lupe Fiasco and his rap.
However, I do not get significance of the reference to Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Fela was leading a crusade against the corruption of government in his native Nigeria.
Lupe should understand the distinction between the ZIonism that underlies the politics of the Israeli occupation -- and "Jewish" as ethnicity. There are many Jews who oppose the occupation -- just as there are lots of whites who support a black president. Otherwise Lupe will be labelled by the Zionist-dominated media as just another rapping racist.

Jimmy until you mentioned Lupe Fiasco I had no idea who he was, maybe that is an indication of how much of a novice I am when it comes to rap, so in that sense I was not moved, but reading your transcript of his lyrics, I could not help but find this other sound bite from the president's speech.

btw Bourru, The rabbit is probably because I always looking to nibble.
