Immortal Technique Wants You To Vote
Immortal Tech at latinrapper.com (via J.S.):
"Certain rap artists have stated that they wouldn't vote in the presidential election because they feel neither political party has the interests of minorities in mind. What's your take?
The greediest most money grubbing people I ever met in my life were corporate conservative leeches. And these are the people that are digging into their pockets to give the Bush Cheney campaign non tax refundable money. They are giving them money because they know that your vote counts, they care more about their money than they care about life, and they are willing to invest in us, in getting our vote by buying adds, propaganda and such. If they believe in our vote then why shouldn't we. Let us become our own voting block, and build the type of respect and power that the lobbyists for the bible belt of white America have. People will not listen to Black and Latino people until we make them listen, our votes will make them listen, and I know we tried that last year but Revolution isn't fought on one battle field, I think every hardcore anarchist can take 15 minutes out of their schedule in early Nov. and try to get rid of emperor Bush."

What makes you think all young black people are voting Dem?

Nobody said they are. Immortal Technique is telling us what he thinks people should do.

All young people, black or otherwise, should vote for John Kerry. He's fucked our futures up even more than he has our present circumstances.
Posted by: Noah at October 21, 2004 04:23 PM
i'm a white teenager (democrat) and i avidly support john kerry but i feel everyone should vote. we are lucky enough to live in a country that gives us this option and it's ignorant to use it.

That's real talk from I.T. Sometimes he comes off as so condescendingly hard. Like he's gonna bust my head open with a history textbook. That was far more eloquent.

These politicians don't care about the votes of young minorities BECAUSE they don't vote. After every election there are tons of people whose sole job is to analyze the voter turnout, what demographic voted for whom and why. If young minorities don't vote, and politicians see that, the next time they're campaigning they won't address that demographic. It's a self-fullfilling prophecy. The only way to do anything about it is to GO OUT AND VOTE. For anybody. Just Vote.
This being said, Kerry has seen how Bush has ignored minority groups such as the NAACP, and is not making the same mistake. That's one of the reasons I'm voting for Kerry.

just wondering what people thought of this statement KRS made?
... "And so for me, I would say voting in a corrupt society adds more coruption."
KRS-1
this beeing in refrence to all that hype the post made about krs being a terrorist and all.

You gotta vote just this time this is the most important election... If Bush wins we will be royally fucked...
Posted by: Potency at October 24, 2004 09:51 PM
It's the right to vote and the right to not vote. And about Bush not seeing the NAACP, if they compared me to Hitler, I wouldn't see them either. It was a justified Fuck You.

THIS SITE IS SO BIAST IT MAKES ME SICK.
Posted by: Tal at October 26, 2004 09:54 PM
Well first Tal here's a bag go get sick and don't do it on us. Next if you all don't want to vote cause you think it don't do nothing, I can understand that, but if Bush get up in there for another 4 years people all over this country gonna suffer. Now Kerry isn't the greatest, personally they all full of it, but you got to knock the Bush regime down. I'm muslim and know if Bush get back in there my peoples are in some serious ish, because he coming for all of us even if we don't have nothing to do with Bin Laden and them. It's gonna be just like it always has been, except it isn't gonna be just about race. If you don't make 6 figures they coming to prey on us. So you all make you choice. Sit back and do nothing then you don't have any room to talk if the devil is president again. PEACE!

ya'll should be out there votin', aint no reason not too, and endless reasons why you should.
if you don't like either bush (why would you?) or kerry, vote for an issue you feel strongly about...vote for something, anything. if we aint votin, who's gonna wanna do anything for us? ya'll know we the ones gettin stuck fightin this choice war over oil an we the ones who gon have grand kids an great gran kids left payin' for the bush admins. trillion dollar deficit. bin ladens still out there, an accordin to his speech just released his plans are well exceding his wildest imaginations, he PLANNED to drain our economy, and bush just happened to be the greedy asshole to do everything possible to make sure bin ladens plans were followed. Not that president bush had intentional plans to aid bin laden. No, he already had the royal saudie family to do that for him. ya'll kno there's 27 pages of classified docs. about the connections between the royal saudie family and the 9/11 attacks? bush was in bed wit the saudies all along accepting expensive gifts of jewelry, $127, 600 dollars worth of it, to be exact. when the twin towers (respectively) came crashing to the ground in manhattan what did bush do? continued reading stories to children at an elementary school as if he had no suprise as to the attacks, hmm, maybe cause he didnt? he planned this no child left behind act and underfunded that shit by 1.9 BILLION dollars!! now look into any PS and check out the overcrowding, the underfunding, under staffed schools, the street violence, the drug use, and you tell me how tough it is for our kids to overcome all that shit just to get left behind by mr. president.
Where's the weapons of mass destruction? we are the weapons of mass destruction, our votes can destroy and take down the bush administration and all of its crony's and crooks.
take back our country, VOTE.

Its eazy to pick a part Bush because all this shit happened. Right after 9/11 everbody wanted to fuckin blow Iraq up, now cuz some fuckin holloween hippy started bitching nobody wants to defend our country. You liberals should be fuckin happy you have protection
Posted by: mets at November 3, 2004 12:45 PM
I agree with krs though, why be a part of even more corruption. So many words about why we should vote all of a sudden do to the fact that bush pushed for war we are concerned? Im sorry but shits been happening, our democracy has been corrupt, wether we vote for kerry or bush we the minority, lose. Not so much the hispanics and the blacks, but the middle class, the homeless, the poor, the jobless thats minority, Its all propaganda, they are selling themselves in hoping we will buy into their "concerns" and "issues". Come on now have u ever sold yourself by telling someone what they want to hear. Its like dangling keys in front of a baby. We are distracted. No doubt im happy to be in a country that doesnt let me speak my mind without sensoring, that taxes my hard earned checks, that gives us no other choice than to fit the mold. We are puppets with nothing but cons and consequences to our actions. To each his own u choose not to vote koo u choose to vote you will just be a part of of all the chaos, your choice will determine nothing, no single person will make a difference in this lifetime. Live the radical way and preach that, im 100% sure that will make a difference. NO need reply just my opinion take from it what u want.

if you beleive that kerry is going to break out the rainbows and butterflies and bunny rabbits, and the world will be a scratch and sniff utopia...you got as much sense as a muppet; and, furthermore, it means you're buying into this bullshit politics that the dems thrive on. look at bill clinton: great economy, more people thrown into jail than any other pres. and for what? smoking some cheeba cheeba...25 to life, mandatory minimums, higher education act type shit. you who fall for democrap propagandha have more to fear from your own blind faith and utter stupidity. true, you should vote because you are guaranteed the right, and make your voice heard. but don't sell yourself short on some misinformation from the cuddly, politically correct party...they'll screw you as bad.

umm if you all didnt know there is a corporation called "Diebold" that is making electronic voting machines. well this corporation endorses bush and his neo-con thugs. Voting does not work anymore. your vote has been privatized...go ahead waste your time voting but in the end you will see the elections were rigged once again. Kerry is too pussy to come through in this election and the dems made some very stupid moves with thier money. (such as "Kids for Kerry" when you gotta be 18 to vote) Either president is going to suck anyway. from a foriegn affairs standpoint id go for Kerry just cus hes not going to rip Fullajah to shreds when hes elected.

To be brave means to keep the flame alive until the end. To be young at heart means to continue in the struggle and with the hope that things will change for the better for all humanity. If not us, our children and the children of our children will inherit justice.

i have to say this for the moment. that to consider yourself democrat, republican, independant or anything else is to sucome to the same thing Tech is telling us to fight. To be completely free is to decide on the issue when you hear the issue....if you consider yourselfs a part of any political party you go into the issue a biast.. ANYONE who makes up there mind before they hear the issue needs to back down off any of these disscusions
