KRS-ONE: WTC ATTACKS WERE 'JUSTICE FOR BLACK PEOPLE'


Rapper KRS-One horrified other panelists during this month's New Yorker Festival when he claimed the September 11 atrocities were "justice" for black Americans and the hip-hop community.
The star, whose real name is Kris Parker, joined former Nirvana rocker Krist Novosolic and Henry Rollins on the panel of the "Political Rockers" event at the annual festival on October 2.

KRS-One claimed he and other African Americans "cheered when 9/11 happened. I say that proudly."

The rapper alleged security guards kept black people out of the Twin Towers, "Because of the way we talk and dress.

"So when the planes hit the building, we were like, 'Mmmm -- justice.' 9/11 doesn't affect us. 9/11 happened to them, not us.

"By them, I mean the rich -- those who are oppressing us. RCA or BMG, Universal, the radio stations."

Novelist Tom Kelly, who was sitting in the audience, booed the rapper and later told the New York Daily News, "I lost six friends there on 9/11."

KRS-One added that he wasn't bothered about the upcoming Presidential election next month, saying, "Voting in a corrupt society adds more corruption. America has to commit suicide if the world is to be a better place."

An angry Novoselic responded, "That is wrong, man. Suicide is not the answer."

Shallow:
This guy's a real peice of shit. Just last year he was saying Jesus this and Jesus that, and now he's saying he was glad at the death of fellow human beings. I'm a Christian, and the murder of any human being bothers me. I would never go around praising the fact that innocent people died. I bet if his mother or children were in that building when it dropped he wouldn't have been chanting " justice"! He'd probably be blaming the white man and knock out anyone who was saying what he's saying now. I always had respect for KRS, but this is disgusting. I read this on Rollingstone and it seems to be real. If it isn't I apologize, but I think it is, so Fuck KRS (if it's real).

Oh, and for the record, his career hit a peak when he appeared in the REM video. It was all down hill from there. He doesn't have to worry about this ruining his career. It's been over for years.

Shyt, I'm black.. and I ain't cheer for that shyt.. And I DONT know ANY other black person that cheered for it...


BTW, I KNOW a whole lot of BLACK people WILL cheer when Bush is OUT of OFFICE though

Trauma-san:
^^ That's because there's one thing to be political, but when yoiur politics makes you start wanting people dead, you're a fuck up.  There's nothing wrong with wanting Bush out of office, or not liking him, or disagreeing with him, but KRS saying he was happy to see the trade center get bombed? I'll be happy when some hick shoots his ass, fuck him. 

pappy:
even b4 he said this, it was common knowledge to hip hop heads kris parker wasnt all there.
