Here is an article sent to me today. Racism is not dead people. Racism is
very real and although I don't expect everyone to riot and take action
against racism right now, I want you to be informed because some people
tend to think racism and inequality for minorities does not exist in the
US anymore. Many of our conservative classmates here believe this and I
hope if any of you have the chance to enlighten them about the real world,
I would hope you have the courage to do so.

RACISM GROWS
September 22, 2006

By Claudia Rosett and George Russell

What does it mean for Black America that a hate
preaching music duo could debut on the Billboard
albums chart?

This week, the Billboard albums chart's top five is
packed with nothing but new releases, with
Bakersfield, CA Pop duo Prussian Blue shocking the
nation by taking ..4 after selling 91, 000 copies of
"End of A Black World" its first week out. The album
is also serving as the soundtrack to a remake of one
of the most controversial movies in U.S. history
"Birth Of A Nation".

"End of A Black World" is the third and most
successful album for 12 and 13 year old Lamb and Lynx,
who have recently relocated to a private compound in
Salt Lake City, Utah after their last album gained
them national attention and death threats. The girls
were lost, especially in December of 2005 when their
father was shot twice by an AME Minister. However,
their father survived and their career was revived by
what seems to be an unfathomable paradigm shift in
American values.

"It really breaks my heart to see those two girls
spewing out that kind of garbage, " said Ted Shaw,
civil rights advocate and president of the NAACP's
Legal Defense Fund.

"This is bullsh*t. Right now I am more so shocked that
an album advocating the extermination of the black
race could be so widely received by America, "
continued Shaw, who plans to protest the girls' album
and call for black artists to boycott Billboard.

Jessie Jackson of The Rainbow PUSH Coalition gave the
following statement, "White America has spoken.
Billboard has spoken. This is only the beginning."

The beginning is just what Lynx and Lamb, who have
been nurtured on racist beliefs since birth by their
mother April, are hoping for. "We hope to bring about
change in our people, " said Lamb. "We hope that our
album and Birth Of A Nation will show our people
exactly what needs to be done to make this country
safe and white."

When asked about their inspiration for their latest
efforts, Lynx gave this response. "I saw white people
hating white people. I was afraid that America wanted
to be black, " said Lynx. "I saw that funny ******'s
show where he made a mockery of the KKK and white
people were laughing. This broke my heart."

Lynx was speaking of Actor/Comedian Dave Chapelle and
his comic sketch depicting a blind, African American,
Ku Klux Klan leader who was unaware that he was not
white. Dave Chapelle is also believed to be the
inspiration of their single, "Funny ******, " which
describes the gruesome fate of blacks who taunt
whites. Dave Chapelle was not available for comment.

Prussian Blue appear to have gone from one of
America's dirty little secrets to Pop princesses
overnight. The group is now fielding offers from major
record labels such as MGM and Geffen. This may be only
the beginning.
