Chuck D of Public Enemy on Obama

Hip-hop legend Chuck D of Public Enemy says he is a supporter of Barack Obama, but also wrote this on the PE website:

“We been saying the New World Order has been taking place the entire span of our beats and rhymes… The presidential position has been a glorified showcase seat for over 50 years. The world is run by banks and bankers who stir the masses into them asses having people believe false gods, borders, orders, philosophies, controversies and conspiracies. There’s political ‘duct tape’ on the wrists and grill of the USA President that will make the position support Israel not Palestine, not attend the Racism Conference in Durban South Africa, and have tentative discussion with Cuba and Chavez in Venezuela while having both the Prison and Military Industrial Complexes respectively swell on his watch.”

For those of you familiar with PE’s history, check out Chuck D’s recent post, which also includes an interesting push back against criticisms of Professor Griff for his critical comments about Obama. “The people mad at Griff probably believe Lincoln freed the slaves,” Chuck D writes.
