'Kill Gays' Singer To Begin US Tour

[freetobegay]

New York City) A Jamaican pop singer who advocates "executing" gays will begin a US concert tour next month.

Beenie Man, whose real name is Anthony Davis, will appear in 33 cities from August 1 to November 8, including New York City, Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Atlanta.

Beenie Man's hit tune, Bad Man Chi Chi Man (Bad Man, Queer Man), instructs listeners to kill gays: "If yuh nuh chi chi (queer) man wave yuh right hand and (NO!!!)/If yuh nuh lesbian wave yuh right hand and (NO!!!)Some bwoy will go a jail fi kill man tun bad man chi chi man!!!./Tell mi, sumfest it should a be a showdown/Yuh seem to run off a stage like a clown (Kill Dem DJ!!!)".

In Jamaican patois slang, "batty man" and "chi chi man" are the equivalent of "poof" and "faggot."

Just let this stupid son of a bitch get near me. He'll learn a thing or two about an American faggot!

1. Another fucking Fred Phelps. I think it's intimidation time for him.

Interesting that he's appearing in cities with large gay communities.

Maybe a large gay protest to show this little prick that his hate won't be tolerated.

[Warren DeMontague]

2. That's not very irie of him.

Bob Marley would stick a boot in that kid's ass.

[Kazak]

3. Hey, I'm all for free speech, but...

I can't believe this creep is allowed to promote this crap. I mean, suppose someone did start to kill gays because of this...wouldn't this guy be guilty by association, a la Charlie Manson?

[Dr Fate]

5. Free speech is what will stop him...

...all concerned need to protest these shows.

[noahmijo]

7. Advocating the harming or death of a group or person

doesn't fall under protections of the first amendment. If you tell someone you're going to kill them they have every right to respond in a hostile manner.

[Zidane]

12. I agree

People bitch about nations in Europe not allowing absolute free speech - but the vast majority of the times when they do NOT are in cases like this. (I believe the UK already said if he stepped foot in the UK and said this shit he would be arrested) The Germans don't allow Nazi propaganda either.

Calling for the death of a group of people should not fall under 1st amendment protection. (though I realize it probably does)

What SHOULD have happened is this - the guy should have been denied entry to the country on the grounds that he is a threat to the lives of people here. His ass has no constitutional right to enter.

4. Find out where he's playing in Chicago and spread it around.

People in this city won't stand for that crap.

[FrankBooth]

6. Talk about strange bedfellows

This guy and the American pukes deserve each other.

[tishaLA]

8. Following in the footsteps of Shabba Ranks

Hi Shabba! Where's that career now, bwah?

[Bleacher Creature]

9. When they announce NYC as a show date

Do they mean at the RNC Convention? He'd fit in quite nicely.

13. Third rate

The places I know on that list are third rate venues. If you stir up too much of a stink about this moron he will only get more attendence.

[Neshanic]

20. What bizzare logic is that? Lets pretend he is invisible.

[Baltimoreboy]

25. If you protest him, you also promote him

Remember the Hollywood maxim, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

[Neshanic]

26. He's on Conan and MTV....what part don't you get?

[Zidane]

14. Holy fuck

He's coming to my city. I notice on a date close to the election. Well, I suppose one good thing could happen if bush decides to declare martial law. Perhaps he will decide to walk the streets after curfew and run in to some law enforcement...

[realisticphish]

27. well fuck

the place hes stopping at in my town is a MAJOR venue; im sure Ohio State will have protest groups there, ill have to look into it

:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[Deja Q]

11. I wonder if Muchacha Beenie Baby here is too cowardly to do it himself...

Tries to get others to do it for him and then whine "My lyrics had nothing to do with it!" on Bill O'Rielly...

[Neshanic]

15. I notice they are all East coast generally.

This is his foray into the big time. The record companies are looking to see the crowd response. Look for a big push to Eminem him later, so the kiddies can get their hands on a CD.

[Zidane]

16. Never happen

It would be like opening a McDonalds and flying a swastika outside. NOT good for business.

[Neshanic]

18. Any publicity is good publicity.

[Neshanic]

17. Oh and to you, "No outing" hand wringers and apologists.....

[leesa]

19. Let him have it folks. We have enough of our own hate-filled assholes

and don't need to import them.

[Zidane]

Yup

He should have been denied entry. Someone in the immigration department really fu**ed up.

BTW - anyone remember the story several months ago about a married gay couple from Canada being refused entry? Yet someone who will incite violence against citizens has no problem getting in. Homeland security sure is great. Anyone else feel safer?

[Neshanic]

21. Conan O' Brien and MTV...thats what I call 3rd rate stuff...

[Neshanic]

22. Looks he is being groomed for greatness...thanks Eminen!

Late Night performance

Beenieman will be appearing on Late Night with Conan O’Brien on August 4th where he'll be performing "Dude".

MTV Premiere!

NY Times Review

“The most appealing Beenieman album in years”.

[HFishbine]

23. And Kerry...

supports equality for gays?

[Neshanic]

24. Whaaa? Where did Kerry come into this picture?

[GoneOffShore]

28. Electric Factory here

is a pretty big venue, but we also have a BIG gay and lesbian contingent. Philadelphia Gay News and the alternative papers are going to have a field day with this turkey.

[funkybutt]

29. here's his schedule
