Outkast and Free Speech
Rosa Parks sues Oukast, and she gets away with it. While I understand the need to maintain a pure and unsullied reputation and name, it is clearly an infringement in the free speech rights of the rap group. What, are we going to be recalling the book bushwhacked, and should we change Christmas to another thing , as it clearly uses the name of the Christian holiday with commercial purposes?
And here are the lyricsto the offending song:
[Hook]
Ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us
We the type of people make the club get crunk
Ah ha, hush that fuss
Everybody move to the back of the bus
Do you wanna bump and slump with us
We the type of people make the club get crunk
What? The most ironic thing is that it is Rosa Parks, often identified with civil rights and free speech, the one trying to silence people that disagree with her.
Common sense, the most scarce.
