Nas to Deliver Protest Petition to Fox
Comments
Rapper Nas is calling for bosses at U.S. TV network Fox to end their "pattern of racist attacks against Black Americans" by delivering a 600,000-name petition at the media giants' New York headquarters.
The outspoken hip-hop hero will join ColorOfChange.org and MoveOn.org activists in a protest outside Fox's Manhattan offices on Wednesday.
Nas has been a long-time critic of the channel, and takes aim at conservative news broadcasters in his new song Sly Fox.
Nas is particularly upset at Fox broadcasters' subtle jabs at African-American presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
The rapper says, "Fox poisons the country with racist propaganda and tries to call it news."
