Ceditorial: I Say Let The Racist Group, Prussian Blue, Do Their Thing
(Ceditor's note: I didn't 'fact check' when I initially wrote this and neglected to look at the date from the source I got it from, so I apologize for alluding to the fact that this is recent but it still resonates, even in today's climate!)
For those who haven't yet heard about the white supremacist group, Prussian Blue, two white girls who practice and spew negative, anti-Black lyrics in their songs, check out the article written below to find out more about them (Thanks Rahiem Shabazz for the story!). Now I don't make it a habit to give a forum to people such as this group, but I know I will catch slack for this but I don't think they should be censored or even banned!
The reason I say this is because I believe in knowing who my enemies are then to wonder and guess which person or persons are the ones I have to question. At least I know how these guys and the buyers of their records feel about me and to know who to avoid as opposed to the ones that smile in my face and pose an even greater threat than I realize. I can assure you that there are many people 'amongst' us that feel the same way these girls do and take our money, socialize with us, plot against us while 'hanging' with us. THESE are the ones I fear more so because they are wolves in sheep's clothing and we have no idea that they are plotting against us while in our face. And make no mistake, THEY ARE AMONGST US!
So, let these little racist girls spit their venom, it only proves what we, as minorities, have been stating all along, that racism is FAR from being dead and we may not have made the progress that white America claims. This just proves that the struggle and the fight must continue and that we can't be relaxed about the perception that 'all men are created equal'. Wake up, if you haven't done so yet and realize that if these little girls' record sales can hit number 4 on the Billboard charts in this day and age, that this means that there is STILL an audience who believes in the racists' theories and ideologies that should have been dissipating but instead is still being preached, this time more openly in a world that is suppose to be tolerant to such views. And protesting against Billboard is NOT the answer. They report what is selling, not endorse it (or do they?).
Jena 6 and this only provides the proof that we still have a ways to go regarding race relations.

SPEAKING OF SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES...
Racist White Girl Group on Billboard Charts
RACISM GROWS, September 22, 2006
By Claudia Rosett and George Russell
What does it mean for Black America that a hate preaching music duo could debut on the Billboard albums chart? Â This week, the Billboard albums chart's top five is packed with nothing but new releases, with Bakersfield , CA Pop duo Prussian Blue shocking the nation by taking ..4 after selling 91, 000 copies of "End of A Black World" its first week out. The album is also serving as the soundtrack to a remake of one of the most controversial movies in U.S. history "Birth Of A Nation".
"End of A Black World" is the third and most successful album for 12 and 13 year old Lamb and Lynx, who have recently relocated to a private compound in Salt Lake City , Utah after their last album gained them national attention and death threats. The girls were lost, especially in December of 2005 when their father was shot twice by an AME Minister. However, their father survived and their career was revived by what seems to be an unfathomable paradigm shift in American values. Â "It really breaks my heart to see those two girls spewing out that kind of garbage, " said Ted Shaw, civil rights advocate and president of the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund.
"This is bullshit. Right now I am more so shocked that an album advocating the extermination of the black race could be so widely received by America, " continued Shaw, who plans to protest the girls' album and call for black artists to boycott Billboard. Jesse Jackson of The Rainbow PUSH Coalition gave the following statement, "White America has spoken. Billboard has spoken. This is only the beginning."
The beginning is just what Lynx and Lamb, who have been nurtured on racist beliefs since birth by their mother April, are hoping for. "We hope to bring about change in our people, " said Lamb. "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."
When asked about their inspiration for their latest efforts, Lynx gave this response. "I saw white people hating white people. I was afraid that America wanted to be black, " said Lynx. "I saw that funny nigger's show where he made a mockery of the KKK and white people were laughing. This broke my heart."
Lynx was speaking of Actor/Comedian Dave Chapelle and his comic sketch depicting a blind, African American, Ku Klux Klan leader who was unaware that he was not white. Dave Chapelle is also believed to be the inspiration of their single, "Funny Nigger, " which describes the gruesome fate of blacks who taunt whites. Dave Chapelle was not available for comment.
Prussian Blue appear to have gone from one of America 's dirty little secrets to Pop princesses overnight. The group is now fielding offers from major record labels such as MGM and Geffen. This may be only the beginning.
