RACISM GROWS

What does it mean for Black America that a hate preaching music duo could debut on the Billboard albums chart?
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.
“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 bullsh*t. 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.
Jessie 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 ******’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 ******, ” which describes the gruesome fate of blacks who taunt whites. Dave Chapelle was not availible 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.
