We're very lucky that way.

If this is open free range and has been grazed for generations, then I suggest the overbearing government back the F off.

Well that would be great but it seems like we have become an official police state and must OBEY government. I wish more locals would support this guy. There really is no need for the government to come flex its weak muscles.

Jay Z "under scrutiny" for wearing the symbol of a black supremacist group? I hardly think that's going to be a problem.

Why am I seeing this on blogs and not MSM? Did Fox carry this? I don't watch it much mostly just local news.

TMZ which I think runs on the Local Fox channel will most likely have a story on it.

He's on his own:
"In a statement, the Nevada Cattlemen’s Association distanced itself from Bundy’s actions. The association noted that it supports effective range management through working with agencies to reach goals that encompass ranching and conservation of wildlife.

“Nevada Cattlemen’s Association does not feel it is in our best interest to interfere in the process of adjudication in this matter, and in addition NCA believes the matter is between Mr. Bundy and the federal courts,” the association said. “Nevada Cattlemen’s Association is sensitive and concerned how the Bundy cattle confiscation situation has evolved.”

I guess I missed the memo where blacks in America were enslaving whites once upon a time.

If you can't distinguish the difference, there is no help for you.

Even still, most people in America don't exactly look up to Jay-Z for anything. Jay-Z, Kanye West, Kardashians, Bieber.. they are all the same knuckleheads to me.

Yes Black people did enslave whites - [domain blocked due to spam]

In America maybe not but certainly has happened. Now back to the topic at hand. The double standard.

A lot of New York guys grew up at least having a tangential relationship with the 5% Nation of Earths and Gods if they weren't full blown members. Jay is from Marcy-Brooklyn....it's not even a big deal to be a 5% over there.

And while strictly speaking it is a "black supremacist group," they're more into knowledge and upliftment blended in with some aspects of theology. It's not about "we're better than white people" although they aren't known for looking fondly at whites. But at the time they were created, that was totally understandable. The 5%'s saved a lot of brother's lives that were going in a really bad direction.

In any case, they aren't nearly as popular as they were in the late 60's through the mid-80's. Clarence 13X was so charismatic and they've never been able to replace him...like with any organization.

At the end of the day, this won't affect Jay one bit.
