Holy crap, Mos Def is ignorant

Being a great poet (rapper) is one thing. Trying to pass yourself off as an intellectual? Something clearly not wise.

Nine minutes of ignorance, interruption, and general low class – oh, and something that sounds similar to English….

It’s funny as you listen (I had to watch several times to get it all), but you can tell that Mos Def has done nothing to educate himself. His entire argument stems from intellectual dishonesty and a failure to take responsibility for his own education. Then, when he asks for proof of Hitch’s and Rushdie’s information, he says he doesn’t believe their sources – “I don’t speak Arabic”, Mos Def says.

Seriously? Never watched a Bin Laden video? Not aware the goals of the Taliban are not published and widely known? Ignorant of the Al Qaeada manifesto? Are you unable to read on your own as well?

What you are seeing in this video is the ignorance instilled by our culture and encouraged throughout.

Oh, and Bill Maher is a classless pile of excrement, but you already knew that.
