Chaka Khan, Guest Stars Record Tribute to Trayvon Martin
NBC 6 ^ | 4/5/12 | ERIC ALT

Posted on 04/05/2012 6:04:49 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

R&B superstar Chaka Khan has re-recorded her 2007 song "Super Life" as a tribute to slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

Khan announced the project while appearing on "Piers Morgan Tonight," claiming, "We are sick and tired in America of seeing little children lost and children gone missing and they never make the 9 o'clock or the 5 o'clock news."

Joining Khan on the track are singers and performers Eric Benet, Terry Crews, Angela Bassett, Kenny Lattimore, Kelly Price, and Boris Kodjoe. In the accompanying video, all the participants are wearing hooded sweatshirts...

Particularly saddening about this story is Chaka Khan apparently swallowing the Kool-Aid being distributed by Sharpton and the lynch mob.

Chaka Khan has been a presence at Republican national conventions for the past several years....making me believe she wasn't someone who followed the crowd.

She was probably spying. As I recall, she used to hang out with Angela Davis and a bunch of other commie pukes back in the day.

Trayvon Martain has now become the Horst Wessel of the American Left.

Will Bob Dylan get involved, especially considering his birth name is Zimmerman?

All I know her from is a #3 hit she had with Rufus in the ealy 70s (Tell Me Something Good) with a Top 20 follow up. Why more people know her than, say, Three Dog Night, is a mystery to me. To me she belongs in the same section of brain with Minnie Riperton, The Three Degrees and Phoebe Snow ... not forgotten, but not exactly household names, either.

Boring brain dead jive....Keep it up morons because the truth is leaking out about the race war of crime waged by young black men on the whites and Asians such as rape, murder, bodily injury and assault. Your days of guilt tripping us are coming to an end

These people must be retarded. Chaka should get involved in the community and help with getting these people employed and on birth control.

A star-studded cast, to say the least. Must not be any telethons that weekend.

She got her Islamic name as member of the Black Panthers. She is/was a total radical.

She must not watch Nancy Grace. Missing kids and wives are her speciality.

"We are sick and tired......of seeing little children lost and children gone missing......"

Sounds like she's cracked the case. Martin was "lost", probably asking Zimmerman for 'directions'.

Over 90% of murdered young black men are killed by OTHER black men. And hoodies? It's criminal fashion... why support that in the young? Are these folks out of touch with reality or what?

Waste of time. Ms. Khan is spending time on a two bit teen gangsta thug!!! Sad that this young man was killed, but the real heartbreak, waste and loss of life is the self-inflicted thousands of useless murders of Black on Black teenagers and young people!!! Why? Simple breadown of the Black family and failure of massive numbers of American Blacks to take advantage and effectively assimilate themselves into general American culture and society!!!

Most Black folks would rather spend their lives bad mouthing Whitey, being racists, living off handouts, being the wards of a controlled government existance, rather then holding the family unit together, getting great education for their kids, taking advantage of the American opportunity society and becoming full blown, loyal and dedicated American citizens. Being baby killers and unwed mamas is no way to go through successfully.

The likes of Trayvon Martin ain’t where its at, sorry to say!!! Wasted time and effort and neglect of the real problems of the American Black community!!! Starting with POTUS Obama on down, American Blacks, have been used, abused, kept in economic and social bondage and slavery, by who, their very own, greedy, power hungry leaders.

What exactly did Trayvon Martin do to receive a tribute?

This is a little like President Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

In Xanadu did Chaka Khan
A stately Pleasure-Dome decree,
Where Alph, the sacred river ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.

ooga Chaka ooga Chaka, ooga ooga ooga Chaka
