From th link:
"I say that proudly," the Boogie Down Productions founder went on, insisting that, before the attack, security guards kept Blacks out of the World Trade Center "because of the way we talk and dress.
"So when the planes hit the building, we were like, 'Mmmm - justice.' "
The atrocity of 9-11 "doesn't affect us the hip-hop community," he said. "9-11 happened to them, not us," he added, explaining that by "them" he meant "the rich ... those who are oppressing us. RCA or BMG, Universal, the radio stations."
Parker also sneered at efforts by other rappers to get young people to vote.
"Voting in a corrupt society adds more corruption," he added. "America has to commit suicide if the world is to be a better place."

It seems to me that he should be careful about talking for "the hip hop community", or talking "for blacks", as it suggests that all hip hop people/blacks share the same views as him.
On the other hand, my knowledges and prejudices inform me that yes, there probably was a lot of Corporate WASP activity going on in the WTO/WTC. However, by far the majority of people in there at the time of the attacks were hispanic cleaners. |
