Del is still recording and putting out a monthly newsletter called "The War Correspondant" which some folks might consider racist.
Tepid! You like a Network News impartial slant.
Spliff,
I sat down and spent a good amount of time talking to Del and I did not walk away thinking he was a racist. However, if some folks were to go to his website and read quotes like...
"Hopefully, the murderous nature of white supremacy has been thoroughly established. Of course, I could go on and on with more graphic examples of their hunger and thirst for blood. By now, however, I trust that you do get the point. Not to mention that many white liberals with their Black pals will claim that I am blaming the whole white race for the acts of a few."
Or.......if they read Del's statements about white people's "hi-jacking" of black culture, including rap and hip-hop, especially folks here on SS, some might feel that Del's message was "Anti-White"...
"While many Blacks organize against the music of our youth, many times they forget that the music chosen, promoted, broadcasted and flooded into global markets is the sounds selected by outsiders. These sources hate us and its reflected in the music they develop or chose to exploit that they want to profit from as they destroy our global and self images.
Having seized Jazz from our people, they redefined Jazz to include white Pop Artists covering Top 40 and R&B songs as they created a new category called Easy Listening. Meanwhile, Black Artists who use to explore space and time were allowed to die off as new ones were prevented, in the main, from being created. Then they changed the definition of Jazz. And because they controlled everything including the trade and fan magazines, they could justify the theft as their propaganda wing sanctioned the invasion and rearrangement of Afrikan culture... ya follow me?
Organizing award programs and setting standards as they set themselves up as judge and jury of musical art forms they didn???t create or truly understand, they now could legitimatize themselves as the authorities. Using their total mass media, which includes the so-called Black mass media, to establish power and authority they rein supreme.
The Grammy Awards which several years ago frowned on Hip Hop Music (Rap Music) as less then a musical art form. Until they got economic control over the music, they kept it outside their ???mainstream??? just as they had did during the early years of Jazz. Now after the corporate raiders have cornered and captured Hip Hop and they have infiltrated it and economically and creatively control the music they now put it in the center of things. A major reason for this is Rap Music's global popularity and off the chart profits.
Because they are judge and jury their recent crowning of White Rapper Eminem, they gave him three Grammys, completes the coup of Hip Hop. We, of course, have Dr. Dre to blame as he created, produced and presented the Po??? White Trash Rapper to the world. Eminem latest hit record deals with a fan in love with a recording artist (himself) who jumps over the edge by killing himself and his pregnant girl friend because he didn???t get an answer to his fan letters from the star.
At the Grammys white performer Elton John sung the hook to the song and played the piano as Eminem went through his changes. The significance was obvious; the song was about an idol worshipping and homosexual fixation of a young man, Elton John is a champion of homosexual causes, the acceptance of Eminem by the white collective as a conquerer of a musical genre they had been trying to co-opt for years (Hip Hop), and he top the charts globally making whites proud. Even Pat Boone, the Mormon Culture Bandit, praised the theft. Many forget how Boone use to rip-off Little Richard's and other Blacks in the 50s".
You be the judge....as a white man who supports/performs/hi-jacks Hip-Hop and/or Rap
bob_bannister take note! What exactly do you disagree with in the above, and why would it be racist if it were true or even if you could prove it to be wrong? (which you can't)
I don't support, perform or hi-jack rap, just ask Delay. I like hip hop, but I would argue that it is not a purely black african creation, comprende? And anyway I am mainly a spectator when it comes to hip hop culture.
Same here.....I'm a spectator of these genre's...but I know that alot of people here are heavily involved. While I also agree with the basics of what Del says about the state of music, I tend to look at it more as an evolution as opposed to a hi-jacking. In some ways I think his message supports musical segregation which I do not agree with.
Can you imagine a similar statement about how the black man "hi-jacked" the white man's sports like Basketball and Football......c'mon.
And the first statement which insinuates that white people are murderous and blood thirsty as a whole, along with the phrase "Po White Trash"
could be viewed as "racist".
All I was doing was preparing people who MIGHT be offended by Del's message.
For the record, I am not.
