Jasiri X, a rapper from Pittsburgh, known for his socially conscious videos, has decided to take on the Tea Party in a new rap song and video, entitled “What If The Tea Party Was Black?” which examines what would happen if Black leaders behaved like leaders in the Tea Party movement.
Jack and Jill Politics has the scoop about the video and the reason Jasiri X wrote this rap song. Her blog post is a must read. I totally agree on Cheryl Contee view regarding society’s double standard on communities of color. In fact, the same question can also be asked “What If The Tea Party Was Brown?”
