		<description>I can&#039;t believe this statement from Fox:

A spokeswoman for Fox said: “Fox News believes in all protesters exercising their right to free speech, including Nas, who has an album to promote.”

The protestors were not there for Nas. He may be for the cause but they are not there for him. Nor does Nas NEED to promote his album. He&#039;s a legend. It will sell REGARDLESS. They skipped around the entire point of the protest. And didn&#039;t comment on it for the most part. It shows that they may actually be concerned about Nas&#039;s remarks about the network. Which I do not anymore and will not watch.....not on my life!

For those that want to know why the Nas remark came from the network, go youtube the video Sly Fox. You will see what the concern is. 

Many of the network&#039;s anchors are purely racist. I give everyone the benefit of a doubt, but when you are consistent, it&#039;s your true color. So if you consistent push out racist remarks, then you are racist, no doubt there at all. I don&#039;t think Fox understands the poison they are putting out to the people. We (in a general sense) are impressionable.  This propaganda needs to stop. It shows that this country although, slavery is abolished, women and blacks can vote, etc we actually have not come as far as we wished. Racism is still thriving in this county. It&#039;s just in a different medium. It&#039;s in glass ceilings in the corporate world. It&#039;s in academic road blocks at TWI (I fully support our HBCU&#039;s!). It&#039;s in politics. It&#039;s in police beatings. Its still here. My grandparents (and so on) generation put their lives on the line for me and although, there are no more lynchings, no more fire hoses, no more colored signs...it&#039;s still here and we still have to fight.</description>
