Keys Talks About Her Conspiracy Theories
*Non-committal opinion and alternative non-committal opinion.*
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."
...
Another of her theories: That 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."
*Non-committal opinion and alternative non-committal opinion.*

itas my opinion that anyone that keeps bringing race into the news for no reason at all is being racist. the only way to ever get past racism is to stop slapping them in the face with it every time they turn on the tv. its also my opinion that no one really wants racism to actually go away anyway, there is far too much money to be made from racism(on all sides)

Well...that's not a race declaring themselves superior to another race...it's basically just "identity politics" where people keep trying to define themselves using aspects of themselves they have no control over, rather than...ya know....their ideology.

No, the only way to deal with issues of race is to confront it, bring it out in the open, no matter how painful it is. Sticking one's head in the sand pretending f-cked up sh!t doesn't go on won't solve anything.
As for Alicia, I want what she's smoking.
