Chuck D Quotes About Community

• Como negros, queríamos promover nuestra igualdad. No presto atención a las connotaciones controvertidas que ponen los medios de comunicación y a las etiquetas socavadoras que nos colocan. Prestamos atención a la situación de nuestra comunidad y a lo que necesitamos.

  Chuck D

• Rap is supposed to be about keeping it real and not relinquishing your roots in the community. Without that, it's just posturing. Somebody who claims to speak for the 'hood don't need no private jet.

• I would like to say is that to be truly American and represent American ideals you need to consider yourself a citizen of the world. American policy has gone contrary to that ideal. The Bush Administration is bent on making the world submit to "Americanism" instead of becoming a member of the world community. This orchestration comes from the very top of the Administration and has pushed America into a corner. So, rather than trying to humbly mix with the rest of the world, we are forcing ourselves upon it. We seem to create conflicts with everyone.

• Los espacios alternativos, los medios de comunicación independientes, el satélite, todos ellos nos proporcionan algunas herramientas con las que podemos trabajar de forma más independiente y tratar más directamente con las comunidades a las que esperamos llegar. La distribución es clave, y encontrar formas alternativas de hacerlo con los nuevos medios es fundamental.

• We were coming out of the black community with this thing called rap music, which was basically black men yelling at the top of their lungs about what we liked and what we didn't like. It was disturbing to the status quo. It really shook things up. And those in power didn't know what to make of us, but they knew that we had to be silenced, stopped in any way from expressing our outrage.
