President Obama recently announced that he's organizing a festival
called "South By South Lawn" at the White House before he finishes his
last term as President of the United States. The festival will be in
conjunction with the popular "SXSW" that takes place in Texas every
year. From what the press release says on the White House website, there
will be live performances featuring some of he biggest celebrity
artists, as well as "emerging artists who are using their music to
inspire audiences".
With that being said,
someone started a petition online asking Barack Obama to bring Wyandanch
/ Long Island, NY rapper King Myers to the White House so he can
perform his controversial single "AmeriKKKa". The record is about police
brutality, racism, and injustices toward African Americans in the
United States of America.
