Hip-Hop goes Green for McKinney/Clemente ’08

Thanks to fellow Green Jason Nabewaniec for posting this information over on Facebook. All I can say is “Wow”.

Many Hip-Hop artists have come out in support of McKinney/Clemente ’08 and the Green Party. Here are a few sample of some recent hip-hop artists to show their support for McKinney/Clemente.

Part 1 Colorado Green Party Denver DNC Controversy

Roseanne Barr for Cynthia McKinney

Shamelessly stolen from Green Party Watch:

Roseanne Barr for Cynthia McKinney

Posted by Rachel Treichler at August 20th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Roseanne Barr features Cynthia McKinney’s campaign website as a permanent link at the top of her blog, http://www.roseanneworld.com/blog/ The blog has many postings about Cynthia’s campaign. On June 7, 2008, Roseanne said, “I am thinking to vote for cynthia mckinney, green party candidate for president.”

Protesting in Denver (DNC)

I’ve been hearing so many rumors and bits of information about the two organizing groups in Denver (See my post here), that I”m not sure what’s what anymore.

I am not going to retract my posts because I feel I’ve provided information from the two groups’ websites for my readers to be informed about each one of their missions. However, I will state here that I’m a little suspicious about all the hoop-la and wonder what is being done on purpose to disrupt versus clear disagreement in philosophies and making a big deal out of it.

Also, I do know for a fact that some Colorado Greens are/were making attempts to take Cynthia McKinney off their ballot – not fair in my opinion. However, these same Greens, who are hard working and dedicated to the peace movement, are willing to enter into mediation internally in the GPUS.

My sincere desire is to know that all goes well in Denver and that big noises are made to advocate for peace and that the media covers it. A lot of folks have been working hard for a long time to make this happen, including our Green friends in Denver.

Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente at the DNC

It appears that Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente will be participating with both groups at the DNC the last week of August. They are scheduled to speak at the ARD event and to march with the R68 group.

Regardless of varying philosophies of protesting by both of these groups, this is the RIGHT thing for McKinney/Clemente to do. It is disingenuous of the Colorado Greens or anyone else to denounce any individual or group who choose to participate with one group or the other, or both groups.

This is a PEACE movement – HEL–LOOOOO!. The more folks involved to stand up against the injustices in our world the better. The more factionalism that occurs, the more the right-wingers (I include the Democrats in that) smile because the progressive movement will never move forward with all this controversy. Don’t you see? It’s exactly what they want!

So to all those attending the DNC protests – cut the crap and just do what you need to do to speak out! Just do it! Do it for those of us who cannot be there! Do it for all life that suffers on our planet!
