 WHAT:The civil rights organization Project Islamic Hope is demanding That Epic recording artist Jennifer Lopez New release "Im Real" be pulled from record stores. Because she has not apologized for her use of the word nigger in the song. If those demands arrant met we are prepared to launch a national economic boycott of all Epic recording artists. WHEN: JULY 18, 2001 Wednesday 11:00 AM WHERE: Epic Records 2100 Colorado Ave, Santa Monica, Ca WHY? "Epic recording artist and entertainment legend Michael Jackson was forced to have his recording "They don’t care about us" pulled from store shelves, Because members of the Jewish community complained about an anti Semitic word,in the song. Now blacks are complaining about Jennifer Lopez…..a non-black using the word nigger in her Epic release. And this corporation has refused. Epic records is practicing corporate racism loud and clear for the whole nation to see.This is a clear double standard that no one can mistake or excuse as racist and hypocritical stated Najee Ali Director of Project Islamic Hope. When the Jews complain about Anti -Semitic lyrics from black artist Michael Jackson,Epic immediately responded…. When blacks complain about Jennifer Lopez calling people niggers in her song they will not respond and have excused her insensitivity.
