The rumor isn't a rumor it's true. It was said on MTV in an interview. She was there with the other fugee members and it was right when she released her song "if I ruled the world". They were discussing how she feels about white people loving their music and buying the album. She said and I will never forget this cause I've repeated it so much over the years as I now see her as a prime racist example. " I would rather 1000 Africans die than 1 white person buy my album. " I will never forget that moment. It was a spring break special.

" I will never forget that moment. It was a spring break special. Someone please ban "whitey". LOL! Shut your lying ass up! Lauryn made a point I'd like to reiterate-even IF she thought judging people's worth based on race wasn't dumb as all hell, the fact remains that she IS A SMART WOMAN; Too damned smart to make a career curbing statement like the 1 YOU and other MORONS accuse her of. She WOULD have sense enough to keep that shit to herself! DUH! WHENEVER A BLACK PERSON LOVES HIM/HERSELF AND PROMOTES SELF LOVE TO/FOR HIS/HER COMMUNITY, S/HE IS ALWAYS ACCUSED OF BEING "RACIST" and HATING WHITE PEOPLE. ALWAYS! Many programmed Blacks associate self love with hating others as well! Welcome to patriarchal white supremacy folks! When Black people love THEMSELVES (Not hate whites), but LOVE THEMSELVES, IT (white supremacy) WILL TRULY END. Think about it...

LOL There is no way she made a statement like that on a popular network like MTV and the footage is nowhere to be seen. Not in the Internet age.
Whitey, you didn't even use the correct fictional quote. You're supposed to say that you saw her say she'd rather her children starve. What's this about 1000 Africans?

Lauryn isn't racist. Blacks can't be racist, but hip hop music and in general Black music was NOT for White consumption. I'm sorry, but I'm bout to be real on this. Most Blacks (non brainwashed ones) don't want you anywhere near our culture. Our music is a direct reflection if our experiences and what we go through as Black ppl. You were not the intended audience and in so many words Lauryn said this. This happens all the time, you all infiltrate our culture superimpose yourselves and notions into our culture when you were never meant to be a part of it in the first place; you are the source of our issues. Lauryn was being nice with it and she isn't stupid (she likes your money), and although some some of the messages are universal that doesn't mean they were for you lol. When this new album comes out I can guarantee you it will deal A LOT more with racism and the issues effecting Blacks because THAT IS WHY IT WAS CREATED AND HOW IT WAS FORGED. You all need to understand that everything isn't about you and that people don't always want you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.
I'll say this again, our culture was not meant for you or your consumption or participation. It ended up that way because like you all always do, you flock to whatever it is we're doing. I gather that when hip hop reverts back to its heavily ladened Black consciousness, Whites will fall off. All we want is for y'all to get your own culture and stop stealing from us.

Music is universal and it is also subject to interpretation. I do feel that the motive behind the messages Ms Lauryn Hill sends us through her songs is what leads us to these discussions. She certainly gives us something to think about for sure. Ms Lauryn Hill is not just singing about an experience or sharing a story like any other artist. She is opting to inform the audience about her stand on society, politics and government, law, culture etc through her songs and live performances. To break it down, what we are hearing from Ms. Lauryn Hill is just a perception of life through her eyes. All I will say is that as long as we are all inhabitants of this earth, we have to put our prejudices aside and unite no matter our color or creed.

Black music was for Black expression, that's all there is to it: "Hip-Hop isn't just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend!"-MLH What you're hearing in many songs are the perspectives of many in the Black community, coming from her voice. She says what we feel and experience. I don't live in some bubble, I live in the real world and so does Lauryn. Y'all not ready for this next lp...It's going to be too political, social and spiritual for most who aren't Black and cannot relate. I can guarantee you this is the direction she's headed. I'm not trying to harsh, but ppl need to understand the history of Black music, who it was for and why it was forged in the first place.

I am not African but I love the passion in african music, dance and culture. I will purchase Lauryn Hill's record even if it's not targeted to me.

^ You haven't heard it, so where you pulling this prophesy out of? Because I know her work and I know the direction she's going in. This next lp will be a heavy heavy lp. I can guarantee it, still a banger though!

I'm an American of African descent, some Black Americans do say they are Africans in America. I think Lauryn may have this perspective, only because in her web post on racism, she discussed how White Europeans ended up in the Americas and how these Americans inflicted harm to Blacks (I'm paraphrasing), so it *sounds* like, she may consider herself an African in America because she doesn't reference herself as an American, almost like a distinction. Have a good one.
