NAS & COLOR OF CHANGE.ORG STEP TO FOX NEWS: Rapper and activist organization deliver 600,000 signatures of protest.



As you no doubt know, a lot of black folks are not feeling Fox News because they seem to go out of their way to make African Americans look bad.

If you can identify with the afore mentioned, you're not alone. One of the people feeling your pain is Nas.


Yesterday, the rapper hooked up with ColorOfChange.org to protest outside the network's Manhattan headquarters and present a petition to the news organization. The organization convinced over 600,000 people sign a petition aimed at curbing the news outlet's penchant for biased reporting.


"The organization saw me as someone who could be a part of it, and they reached out," Nas said referring to ColorOfChange.org. "I was like, 'Hell yeah, I'm a part of it!' This is a network that's been going after rappers ... yet Bill O'Reilly uses the phrase 'lynching party' for a woman. That's the worst term I've ever heard to disrespect a woman, and he says it on television. And he doesn't like rappers? Wow."


The grassroots organization heard Nas' lyrical lambasting of Fox on the new song "Sly Fox" and asked him to help with its protest, according to MTV News.
