Alicia is No Longer a Prisoner of Words Unsaid


Lets get a sniper and aim the red dot on her face, right in the middle, between the white and black halves. Lets write articles and blog entries calling her a conspiracy theorist, self-hater, and crazy because she has an opinion and isn’t afraid to express it. Lets all start hating her after she has touched the lives off millions with her music and community service around the world. Lets just call her a hot babe who should of kept her mouth shut.

It sickens me when people target celebrities because something they say gets blown up in a magazine. Most of the time, magazines aren’t even liable because their quotes are taken out of context, making them say something different then what the quoter meant. Let’s ask ourselves people: why would Alicia Keys, someone who isn’t scared to express herself, be unavailable for comment after the uproar about her recent “theoretic conspiracies” about gangster rap and the government being behind Tupac’s and Biggie’s assassinations? Is it because she is feeling ashamed of herself for trying to expand her voice into politics? Or is it because she would rather not be bothered with the media that thrives on ruining reputations of celebrities, and maintain her peace? Personally, I feel it is the people who feel they have to defend themselves to a bunch of savages that hide. Her staying quiet proves to me she isn’t bothered by the demoralized public.

Why does being mulatto matter? So what, she tries to represent her black race; if she was all about being white, the same black people who demean her for representing their race, would say shes a flake instead of a “half nigger.” It just goes to show racism in this world and country is still bad, if not worse. Why can’t people just realize that calling people names and judging skin color and gender is enhancing hatred and is just as bad as pulling a trigger? The tongue can kill too.

No matter the real story behind Alicia’s comments made in that magazine, I stand behind her. The government is tainted, and gangster rap isn’t innocent. Many rappers are guilty of representing a culture that evolves around killing the other to get ahead and to gain respect. The government is also known to do the same, but in a different fashion - more undercover fashion. So don’t hate on Alicia for speaking out; get the balls to do what she does and speak your opinion too.
