9 Songs That Perpetuate Crazy Conspiracy Theories
5. Public Enemy - "Race Against Time"
"Pandemic, who did it? // Right, WHO did it // That's who did it // Who/World Health Organized, murderized // Germs they spread it // Warfare I read it"
It turns out Kanye West isn't the only acclaimed rapper who believes the government is trying to keep the black man down by targeting them with man-made diseases. Public Enemy's lead emcee Chuck D also accepts this troubling theory, and even gets into the specifics of who "they" are and how they go about implementing it.
The "who" of this scenario is the World Health Organization (get it! WHO!), an agency run by the United Nations with the sole mission of ensuring the highest possible health for the general public. In fact, WHO was integral in eradicating smallpox, and has even taken aim at the Catholic church for their stance against condoms, insisting their backwards thinking was helping spread AIDS.
They certainly seem like the good guys. But according to Chuck D, that's just what they want you to think!
He explained his distrust in Public Enemy's "Race Against Time", claiming the WHO only wants white people to be healthy and is actively engaged in biological warfare against the black community.
