Re: Bid to arrest reggae star

I'm all for gay rights etc...but i'm also all about people taking
things IN context...lets look at some of these lyrics that they
themselves use as evidence


 
> Bun a fire pon a kuh pon mister fagoty (Uh huh)
> Cocky deh yah suh fi wheel unda Dorothy (Uh huh)
> Ears ah ben up and a wince under agony
> Poop man fi drown a dat a yawd man philosophy (Uh huh)

well this is definitely the most incriminating of the bit except for
the fact that most people accept the fact that the "bun fire" lyrics
are rhetorical...it doesn't even register as actual fire to me
anymore...which would argue against ideas that the more one listens to
it, the more they want to lynch a homosexual


> "wipe out the faggot with a pure laser beam"


this really pisses me off...this is from Look Good which is answer
tune to Beenie Man. The "faggot" in question here i believe refers to
beenie himself. This is seriously taking it all out of context...how
many times does Eminem refer to someone he's dissing as a faggot...oh
wait? he's white tho and famous...can't call him on hate speech.

> 
> Boo away some battyman nuh waan dem aroun mi
> Waan see mi dead so dem can get fi moan mi
> Battyman start come a stage show fi stone wi
> Mek dem know a di eagle and the hawk dem surround wi
> Well bwoy like a mi nuh battyman nah guh crown mi
> Media and the press a try dem best fi drown wi
> Cancel mi visa but dat still nuh ground mi
> Mek dem know a di eagle and di hawk dem surround wi

ummmm if this is the lyric that encourages stoning of gays...well then
they got it mixed up...clear enuff to me that its about battyman
stoning bounty and his crew...more over even here it seems to me that
he's refering to metaphor...i doubt he's suggesting that the gays are
literally stoning him.

> Unu wanna be me!
> Weh tek dem insect
> True mi tek Spring Break, si dem a impress
> Hear this likkle punk guh sing a battyman concept
> Seh him hood Deanie, a deh suh mi object
> And him guh pon Mirage, and guh dis-respect
> bout dem box man a foreign dem nuh tek nuh bet yet
> Tell dem if dem do dat World War woulda re-flex
> Yuh lef' Clarendon and come drop ina wasp nest
> with Guerilla warfare yuh caught mi interest
> War mi start dat by reservation and request
> To kill dis yah fool, to me dat is no stress
> Murder dem fast just like a Federal Express
> And mi run wild west

again TOTALLY taken out of context...this is an attack on Merciless
and i assume that the murder dem fast line is directed at Merciless
and NOT homosexuals...

just my two cents.

I have always been a proponent of gay rights...but i think they're
taking it too far. Recently, here in Canada, some guy decided to sue
the Red Cross for discriminating against gays because they don't allow
gay men to donate blood. I'm sorry but thats ridiculous, many many
many Africans cannot donate blood. I'm not even allowed to donate
because i lived in Nigeria as a young child. Homosexuals have to learn
which battles they want to fight because this is just ridiculous. With
such irrelevant lobbying, they make themselves look very ego-centric.
