What if the Tea Party was Black?

Estimated reading time: 4 minute(s)

This is something to ponder.

A few months ago, Tim Wise wrote a widely circulated article called, “Imagine if the Tea Party Was Black “which challenged America to take a close look at the hypocrisy of the Right Wing.

Now, a Pittsburgh rapper is accepting his challenge in true Hip-Hop form.

Jasiri X has released a video called “What if the Tea Party was Black?”

The Hip Hop artist says that he got the idea when Paradise,a member of the pro-black rap group X-Clan, forwarded him a copy of Wise’s article. “I saw the article and I liked the concept,” says the rapper. So Jasiri hit the studio with producer Cynik Lethal while Paradise grabbed his video camera and they went on their mission to defeat the Right Wing propaganda machine.

In the part of this song Jasiri says:

What if the tea party was black

Holding guns like the Black Panther Party was back

If Al was Rush Limbaugh and Jesse was Sean Hannity

And Tavis was Glenn Beck would they harm they families

If Sarah Palin was suddenly Sistah Soaljah

Would they leave it with the votes or go and get the soldiers

Yall know if the tea party was black

The government would have been had the army attack
