Who said that racism was dead? It is obviously not dead in America. From the redaction of the Murdoch corporation regarding the publication of the O.J. Simpson Book, to the invidious rants of Seifeld comedian Michael Richards calling one of his audience members a “nigger” several times and suggesting that days back in the south he would be “hanging from a tree with a fork stuck in his ass.” Now the Billboard top 100-album chart is reminding us that racism is still alive and that white privilege and supremacy will never die in America.This week, the Billboard albums chart included a Bakersfield, CA duo called Prussian Blue. Their debut album called shocking the nation "End of A Black World" finished number 4 after selling 91, 000 copies its first week out. I addition, the album is also the soundtrack to a remake of one of the most ridiculous and racist movies in U.S. history "Birth of a Nation". The original movie was directed by D. W. Griffith in 1915 and originally premiering with the title The Clansman.
The Album, which is the third for the sister duo Lynx and Lamb, has songs titled "Funny Rich N**ger" – which is slated to be about Dave Chappel, “Affirmative Blaction,” N.A.A.C.P. (Niggers Against A Colorless People) and “No Darkie In Me” is likely why the sisters moved to a private compound in Salt Lake City, Utah after they received death threats over their last album. Some even suggest that this is the reason their father was shot twice in 2005 by an AME Minister.
One of the sister’s, Lamb has stated "We hope that our album and "Birth Of A Nation" will show our people exactly what needs to be done to make this country safe and white." I guess some things will never change in America, especially racism towards the folks who built this country and helped it accumulate wealth for free.
