Is it cool for Nas to publicly make a fool of himself?

We need to offer $250,000 to anyone who wants to return to their “native” lands outside the U.S. wherever that might be.

If you take the money, you have to return the money with interest to return.

It would be far cheaper in the long run.

Why do you have all his albums?

Yes. It’s actually not the headspace that’s different. Now they say that you shouldn’t shoot 5.56 through a barrel marked .223 but .223 through a 5.56 barrel is fine.

From rapper Nas hit single, “Halftime,” are the lines about illegal Dominican immigrant 24-year-old Jose “Kiko” Garcia:

‘cause when it’s my time to go, I wait for God wit the fo-fo [a .44 pistol]
And biters [copy cats] can’t come near
And yo, go to hell to the foul cop who shot Garcia
I won’t plant seeds, don’t need an extra mouth I can’t feed
That’s extra Phillie [blunt] change, more cash for that weed

The shooting of Jose “Kiko” Garcia caused news reports that provoked three nights of rioting that left one man dead, 53 police officers in the hospital, and a neighborhood gutted by fire. The grand jury found that Juana Madera and Anna Rodriguez, the two sisters whose eyewitness accounts had played such a crucial role in the early reporting of the case, gave false testimony. According to the grand jury, Garcia was a chronic cocaine user who worked for a drug ring that was headed by Jose Rodriguez, Anna Rodriguez’s son, and that used Madera’s apartment as a “safe house” for its operations. In March 1992, police had raided the apartment and seized a videotape showing Jose Rodriguez holding bags of cocaine and gloating, “It’s legal here.” Garcia also appeared on the tape.

It is not surprising that Nas identifies with the addictive drug culture and advocates a revolutionary takeover as seen in South Africa. In the chaos, the drug pushers have open season while the police are occupied with the rioters. Nas is a proponent in the recreational use of addictive drugs like there is for marijuana.

because there is a false knowledge of apartheid the reaction to it will be the same. We see the results of having black people in power thinking the law of the land is what they want and so others disregard the law period.

So now what happens is South Africa will happen here. All part of the plan. If you want to know, just google or search for south africa farm attacks. Gruesome photo, trigger alert.

“A more pressing question—will an AR-15 with a 5.56 marked barrel cycle quality .223 cartridges? Or should I stick with ammo marked ‘5.56’? The headspace isn’t identical.”

Firing 5.56×45mm NATO from a chamber with a shorter .223 Remington leade can generate pressures in excess of SAAMI maximums.

It’s the other way around.

Don't feel badly. I didn't know it was sarcasm either. Many times you really can't tell from the text unless you know the poster well.
