@ThisIsKhaledM shows @LupeFiasco the truth about #Libya & the murderous #Gaddafi
A story worth reading for everyone that thinks Lupe Fiasco was right about the Libyan situation. And anyone that thinks we started off violently, for that matter. Khaled M corrects Lupe in the following must read story (collection of tweets).
@LupeFiasco Salaam akhi, let me start by saying I've always respected you. Love you for the sake of Allah- @LupeFiasco alhamdulilah you've had the opportunity to reach millions of people with your music and positive messages
- @LupeFiasco But you must understand that when you have a responsibility. People see you as a scholarly authority
- @LupeFiasco Thats a beautiful thing, but when you are looked upon as an academic, not some random rapper...
- @LupeFiasco You have to be sure to educate yourself about a topic before speaking out. Or at least humbly bow out
- @LupeFiasco Your fans hang on to your every word so what may seem like a 15 second blip to you actually weighs on others minds
- @LupeFiasco Your voice actually alters and influences people's opinions. So it is your responsibility to be educated on a subject b4 speakng
- @LupeFiasco to ignore that fact is a huge slap in the face to all those who passed away, were kidnapped, tortured, etc PROTESTING #Libya
- @LupeFiasco so your comment about "supporting them armed or unarmed" is not enough.
- @LupeFiasco its like accusing someone of something, and when they deny it, saying, "well we're friends either way"
- @LupeFiasco so you're comments directed at @N_Benghazi weren't satisfactory. You still need to clarify that CIVILIANS were being MASSACRED
- @LupeFiasco But educate yourself before speaking on it. As a public figure one must be humble enough to NOT speak sometimes
- @LupeFiasco so if you werent personally keeping up with the happenings, itd be easy to fall for TV's tricks, though I'd expect more from u
- @LupeFiasco When this all went down, I joined a group of exiles in DC to help spread the word about the massacres...so I'm in tune
- @LupeFiasco title is misleading, but i was part of a GROUP of US Libyans that helped those inside be heard tinyurl.com/48unbbt
