Sinead O'Connor Snaps on Hip-Hop: Where's Jay-Z, 50 Cent on Trayvon's Murder?

4. This is some serious stuff and we (all manner of musical artists) are too silent on matters of enormous spiritual importance. Lemme ask you.. Jayzee and Eminem et al. Why was it always the black people only worked in the post rooms of record companies, which was always in the basement? Why was it that as each floor went up the skins got paler till it was f–kin ghosts at the top? And all us artists … even me … said nothing? Those buildings (record companies) always struck me as being a microcosm or painting of America, racially speaking. Christ almighty … if its like that in the music business how is anything ever going to change?

We, musical artists are too silent on important stuff. And it is our job to be the gate-keepers of truth. ALL the people of this earth must come together eventually and see that we are one. ALL artists must stand up. Black, white, yellow, green, pink, f—ing polka dot.. and be a light in these times.
