Lupe Fiasco Defends his Comments About Obama

A couple of days ago, Lupe Fiasco called current U.S President, Barcak Obama the biggest terrorist. That got him a lot of hate attention and he has come up again to defend his words, and say he isn't going back on them. You can read about his initial remarks by following this link...lupe fiasco calls obama the biggest terrorist

Below is what he had to say about his comments on Obama-

"I've got nothing to clarify. It's Obama and the U.S. government," Lupe said, echoing his comments to CBS. "[It's] every president that came before him and every president that comes after him...It's funky because everybody's pulling soundbites from this one interview that we did, but they don't talk about anything else from the interview. So it's really about, 'What do people want to listen to?' It's not what I want to talk about, cause I want to talk about all types of sh*t... there wasn't the same reaction about me having a book club... about me trying to promote literacy in a country with 50 million functioning illiterates walking around, because we have a failed and flawed education system." (Billboard)

Fiasco also elaborated on his personal decision not to exercise the freedom to vote.
"Voting doesn't work, because everybody who voted, voted for the same people who are in office right now that are actually allowing these policies to go forward... You have to educate the populace -- the masses, the voters, the people who don't vote, the people who pay taxes." (Billboard)

Well, as i said before on my previous post on this matter, i think everybody has a right to comment and say what is on his or her mind, and i have my own personal reservations on this matter, but i don't totally get where lupe fiasco is coming from. From my point of view, i think the U.S government are just as much terrorist as the people they are fighting. First of all, i feel if you don't have any dealings with these people, you can actually co-exist, but it is clear that the U.S has always been interested in their Oil, and these people feel terrified by the presence of the Americans, and sometimes take actions with the notion that they are being terrified by these people (the Americans) on their land...to them, it is like they are fighting the terrorist off. Even if they blow up themselves to send a warning to the U.S, the Americans also retaliate and create their own terror; so tell me, who is right? This is just my own thoughts on the matter.

And on another note, their is something i have learnt from my 2 years study of mental science, and how the brain and mind works. And that is- what you resist persist. If they keep starting up anti terrorist programs, and killing one terrorist leader or the other, they are giving their attention to that, and they will keep getting more of that. I am 30 years old, and since i can remember knowing anything, the U.S government have always been fighting one terrorist or the other. Thy just killed Osama Bin Laden, or so they say, and they took to the streets to celebrate, but do you know how many people have died since them? Of cos they don't really care, because those people are not Americans.
