Alicia Keys Expresses her Political Feelingshttp://apnews.myway.com/article/20080411/D8VVUAHG0.html

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080411/D8VVUAHG0.html http://www.blender.com/articles/default.aspx?key=21056&pg=2Alicia Keys, in an interview, recently expressed admiration for the Black Panther Party. The original Black Panthershttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_Party were not racist. It's the unrelated New Black Panther Party http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Black_Panther_Party which is hostile to whites. There even was at one time a white counterpart to the black panthers, called the "Young Patriots" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Patriots_Organization. I feel that Alecia Keyes is just a militant marxist, like "The Coup" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coup. Of course there has always been left-wing political commentary in the history of American music, like with the Almanac Singers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almanac_Singers, and The Weavers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weavers.
