Thank-you Enoch Muhammad for allowing me to start my day with a few laughs. I see nothing wrong with paying tribute to these two rap artists (Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.), but the least you could have done was give them a better tribute than that psycho-babble column that you wrote in Tuesday’s DE. Those two must be spinning in their grave. You are a junior at a respected four-year institution, majoring in speech communication and that is what you put your name and picture to in a public newspaper? (And you speak of deceptive intelligence.)

Furthermore, you bring up this Day of Atonement for the Nation of Hip-Hop in which one is supposed to skip school and work on Oct. 16. First of all, what is this Nation of Hip-Hop? I know I am not the only one who hasn’t heard of this. Secondly, I would like to suggest that everyone who participates in this should be sure to state in their job interviews that they will not be coming to work on Oct. 16 and why. Be sure to explain also to that person what all is involved in being a card-carrying member of the Hip-Hop Nation. I’m sure he or she will understand fully and hire you on the spot. Also, be sure to tell your professor that you will have to make up any missed exams that day and give the reason. I’m sure everything will be fine.

I believe if we all listen to and follow Enoch Muhammad’s pseudo-intellectualism we will all succeed in the real world with flying colors.
