Fruits ether reggae concert

No homo Juelz Santana + a regular one for the picture.
Yesterday, before TypePad took a shit (as it's wont to do every now and again), I brought you the story of a group of online homosexuals who had banded together to try to cancel a reggae concert. Because Beenie Man was performing.

Lo and behold, it appears they've succeeded:

LIFEbeat - The Music Industry Fights AIDS, has collectively decided to cancel its Reggae Gold Live concert, scheduled for Tuesday, July 18 at New York’s Webster Hall. While the organization’s staff and board believe very strongly in the positive purpose and intention of this event, the possibility of violence at the concert from the firestorm incited by a select group of activists makes canceling the event the only responsible action.

Of course the teh gheys responsible for this brouhaha are upset that LIFEbeat is suggesting they may have caused violence. But for what it's worth, a cursory perusal of several teh ghey blogs (I know, it was awful) didn't turn up any proof that they didn't threaten any violence.

At the very least, I'd say they've slandered one of our finer ethnic communities and ruined what could have been an entertaining concert, not to mention an opportunity to spread HIV/AIDS awareness to a group that has already been tremendously effected by the disease.

A parallel could be drawn to the time a group of angry so-called hip-hop feminists cancelled a benefit concert for Nelly's sister at Spelman College because they were upset at the credit card-swiping scene in Nelly's infamous Tip Drill video.

I'd venture to guess that it's no coincidence Nelly's sister died of cancer a couple of years later. Who knows how many Carribbean American youth will die of AIDS as a result of this silly protest.
