Alicia Keys: 'Gangsta Rap' Created to Convince Black People to Kill Each Other

Foxnews ^ | 04.12.08

There's another side to Alicia Keys: conspiracy theorist.

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter tells Blender magazine: "'Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. 'Gangsta rap' didn't exist."

Keys, 27, said she's read several Black Panther autobiographies and wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck "to symbolize strength, power and killing 'em dead," according to an interview in the magazine's May issue, on newsstands Tuesday.

Pretty...but stupid.

Also, what is it with these half black celebrities (Keys, Halle Barry, even Barack Hussein Obama) who are abandoned by their black fathers, raised by their white mothers and, despite that fact, identify with the race of the parent who abandoned them?

Self loathing? Racial politics? Seriously. I don't get it.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

She sounds like a mental patient.

"Gangsta Rap" is such a comedy it became a tragedy, plain and simple.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

Well geez, the AIDS thing wasn't working as fast as we thought so we had to come up with something! /sarcasm

What an idiot!!!

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Self loathing? Racial politics? Seriously. I don't get it.

C'mon, it's way cooler to be black than it is to be white.

[mnehrling]

Stunningly beautiful, great singer, and dumb as a load of rocks. Someone mail her some books to counteract the black panther hate filled drivel she’s been reading.

[junta]

Killing who dead?

[Lizavetta]

Miss Keys - please provide the exact names of the whiteys who devised gangsta rap and also please provide sworn testimony from past and present gangsta rappers that they themselves did not.

Thanks in advance, ya dumb broad.

Hmmm.... who's killing is she "symbolizing"?

Another Tolerant Lib. Bet she’s going to be voting for the Obamunist.

"'Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. '... (she) wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck "to symbolize strength, power and killing 'em dead,"

She doesn't see the irony in any of this?

[Dr. Ursus]

Your right; You don't have to think and when you say stupid
things; your not held up for ridicule

[popdonnelly]

I thought it was created to make some otherwise untalented black men a lot of money.

[laotzu]

Another of her theories: The bicoastal feud between slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled "by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing."

Evil or not, you really have to be impressed by the super-hero powers of us white folks.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

There is a subsequent interview with her mom (her white mom, who raised her, worked multiple jobs to support her...give her music lessons, etc, but I digress). Anyhoo...mom, when asked about the 'assault rifle as jewelry' said...(paraphrasing) those, are here initials, but the 47 part?

Nice, ingratiating with the badboys talk, Alicia...new CD coming out? Jealous that Mariah got an hour w/Oprah yesterday?

[popdonnelly]

“wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck “to symbolize strength, power and killing ‘em dead,”

So how is that different from gangsta rap? I mean, a gangsta rap song is nothing but a symbolic reference to strenghth, power, and killing ‘em dead.

[t1b8zs]

"said she's read several Black Panther autobiographies..."
I say she just looked at the pictures

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Or had a coloring book...some of the panthers are pink, some are blue...

[nascarnation]

As posted on another version of this story thread, if this was a govt & media conspiracy, it happened during the CLINTON administration and BEFORE Fox News.

[Scourge of God]

NOT GUILTY!

:->

[NonValueAdded]

Oh, I seeeeeeeee. Whitey invented it.

[Kozak]

Also, what is it with these half black celebrities (Keys, Halle Barry, even Barack Hussein Obama) who are abandoned by their black fathers, raised by their white mothers and, despite that fact, identify with the race of the parent who abandoned them?

Because white kids who go to exclusive schools in Hawaii don't go to the head of the admission line at Hahvahd...

[mnehrling]

I'm sure Ice-T and NWA would want to challenge her on that view of history.

[freedombird]

Impossible!! Everyone knows that “typical” White persons have NO RYTHYM!!.....and white politicians are the most “typical” of all!!

[Always Right]

Stunningly beautiful, great singer, and dumb as a load of rocks.

Absolutely. Great artistic talent usually lacks in the area of logical reasoning.

[Hyzenthlay]

Maybe it’s simply because when they look in the mirror, what they see looks more like a black person than a white person? Honestly, if you didn’t know for sure the celebrities in question were multiracial, and just saw their faces for the first time, what race would you associate them with?

[Always Right]

[CAluvdubya]

Let me guess...her spiritual advisor is Rev. Wright

[HamiltonJay]

: The bicoastal feud between slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled "by the government and the media, to stop another great black leader from existing."

If either one of these guys are what blacks would consider a "great leader" then your race is doomed.

In the case of Keys, she looks Hispanic to me.

[mnehrling]

...just WOW!...someone please educate the leftist conspiracy theorist out of her... Here is another one for ya..

[camle]

wassamadda toots? Abortion mills not killing ‘em off fast enough fer ya?

ask Margaret Sanger about plans to drive black folks into extinction. and it wasn’t the US government doing the killing!

[paudio]

If she wants a legitimate conspiracy theory to reduce the number of Blacks, she should read Margaret Sanger’s biography.

[MrB]

Someone “invented” it, but it sure wasn’t Whitey.

Some counter-culture ANTI-whiteys decided they needed to up the ante on the “black culture” and came up with this crap,

and its having some consequences.

Traditions and morals are what they are because they’ve ALREADY been tested and they work.

Swim against the current and you’re eventually gonna get smacked by a floating tree.

[VeniVidiVici]

Absolutely not true.

First, white folk infected them with AIDS, *THEN* forced them to create gangster rap.

Also, the creation of abortion mills to get rid of Blacks is highly successful also.

((It must suck to be so stupid as to believe crap like this))

[Dick Vomer]

gee, it looks like it's working..... I hope "they" don't find out and keep killing each other and aborting future generations...

/sarcasm

what a dip..... typical ___________

[N. Theknow]

Self loathing? Racial politics? Seriously. I don't get it.

It's almost as if they think they would not be able to sing, dance or jump if they did. Then again, affirmative action would not work as well.

It would only be affirmative half-action.

[Riverman94610]

Even if Whitey DID invent it,her logic is racist and demeaning because she is saying that black folks are a bunch of guillible fools who will fall for the most idiotic nonsense and have no free will of their own.
Its the same line of thinking as those who say”Well,its the white man who brings drugs into our communities”So what,YOU put that pipe in your mouth,YOU are the one who smoked up your life.

[PGR88]

In that case - let’s ban gangsta rap. No problems from me on that one....

Good looks and mental issues is always a dangerous combination.

I knew 2 people long ago, 1 male 1 female that were passing as white. The man looked hispanic, although his mother was caucasian and his father black.
The woman was fair skinned, mother caucasian, father black.
When I asked the woman why, she did not want to be known as bi-racial, she in essence said she did not need the baggage that being bi-racial entailed.
When I asked the man same question, he indicated that he would rather make his way without all the crap that went with being black.

[Nailbiter]

Wonder if she knows Obama sat on Planned Parenthood board??

“’Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. -by RONALD REAGAN! -I think she forgot that part!

too bad... nice looking lady!

[Tahoe3002]

too bad... nice looking lady!

reminds me of the old saying: “No matter how good looking she is, some guy is TIRED of listening to her c r a p.”

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Blacks created gangsta rap to kill each other???

Is this another tactic by Hillary?

[Sensei Ern]

Giving Alicia Keyes a speaking platform was created to convince people to kill themselves.

[Hyzenthlay]

It depends on the person - I have a roommate who’s a mix of Asian, Native American, and Caucasian and she technically idenitifies as ‘multiracial’, but she’s all about the asian side of her heritage, and if you were to just look at her she appears asian. Another ex-roommate of mine was equal parts American Indian, Middle Eastern, African-American, and Caucasian, but she usually said she was Middle Eastern and seemed to identify with African-American ‘culture’ the most, and she looked more or less African-American to the casual observer.

In any case, most mixed girls tend to be really gorgeous... at least from what I’ve seen, being mixed tends to give some sort of ‘fashion cred’ and the ‘omigod, you look AMAZING, I wish I was half as good-looking’ comments seem to outweigh any baggage about racial identity that might occur (at least for girls).

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter tells Blender magazine: "'Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. 'Gangsta rap' didn't exist."

I think we should run with it. Let's get a couple of the whitest people we can find, maybe a nice young couple from Minnesota or North Dakota, and have them admit on TV that they invented gangster rap so that black people would off each other. The CIA actually has rap training schools across the country, in those buildings that aren't dedicated to developing new strains of AIDS and more potent forms of crack. Eminem is one of their top operatives.

Once enough black people believe it, then maybe rap will go away.
