Chuck D & His Wife Gaye Respond “By the Time I Get to Arizona” — This Discrimination Must Stop

“By the Time I Get to Arizona” — This Discrimination Must Stop

by Chuck D of Public Enemy & Dr Gaye Theresa Johnson

The Arizona immigration bill — which Governor Jan Brewer has decided to sign into law — is racist, deceitful, and reflects some of the most mean-spirited politics against immigrants that the country has ever seen. The power that this law gives to police to detain people that they suspect to be undocumented brings racial profiling to a new low. Brewer’s actions and those of Joe Arpaio, Russell Pearce, the Arizona State Senate are despicable, inexcusable, and endorse the all-out hate campaign that Joe Arpaio, Russell Pearce, and others have perpetrated upon immigrants for years. The people of Arizona who voted for this bill, as well as those who crafted it, demonstrate no regard for the humanity or contributions of Latino people. And for all of those who have chosen not to speak up, shame on you for silently endorsing this legislated hate.

In 1991 Public Enemy wrote a song criticizing Arizona officials (including John McCain and Fife Symington) for rejecting the federal holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The same politics written about in “By the Time I Get to Arizona” are alive and well in Arizona today, but this time the target is Brown people.

These actions must stop. We are issuing a call to action, urging fellow musicians, artists, athletes, performers, academics and production companies to refuse to work in Arizona until officials not only overturn this bill, but recognize the human rights of immigrants. This should include the NBA playoffs, revisiting the actions of the NFL in 1993, when they moved the Superbowl to Pasadena in protest against Arizona’s refusal to recognize Dr. King. We all need to speak up in defense of our brothers and sisters being victimized in Arizona, because things are only getting worse. What they’re doing to immigrants is appalling, but it will be even more damning if we remain silent.

Earlier this evening I reached out to Chuck suggesting that its time to re-do their signature song ‘By The Time I get To Arizona’.. His producer Johnny Juice hit me back and said they just complerted a song called ‘Tear Down the Walls’ which addresses the issue. You can download the song..here:http://www.slamjamz.com/music/viewdlsingle/471

You can listen to the song here:   http://www.swift.fm/mrdaveyd/song/36976/

 Here’s what he wrote about the song

 1989 US President Ronald Reagan chastised the then Iron curtain of communist countries about the separatist existence of the Berlin Wall. There presently is a multi billion dollar wall funded by the United States with similar isolationist separatist policies …the wall between the US and Mexico. Chuck D addresses the growing tangible and intangible wall existing between the black and brown people in North America.

In Mexico, new figures have been released showing more than 5,000 Mexican migrants have died trying to reach the United States since 1994. Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission says an average three migrants lost their lives every two days in the US-Mexico border region in 2007 and 2008. Track produced by Divided Souls from Baton Rouge LA.upon a tip from the great MC …Scarface.

And now by default its attached to being a themed commentary to the recent passed one sided racist immigration LAW in the State of Arizona… This statement from Chuck D and his wife Dr Gaye Theresa Johnson

‘Jan Brewer’s decision to sign the Arizona immigration bill into law is racist, deceitful, and reflects some of the most mean-spirited politics against immigrants that the country has ever seen. The power that this law gives to police, to detain people that they suspect to be undocumented, brings racial profiling to a new low. Brewer’s actions and those of Joe Arpaio, Russell Pearce, the Arizona State Senate are despicable, inexcusable, and endorse the all-out hate campaign that Joe Arpaio, Russell Pearce, and others have perpetrated upon immigrants for years.

  1. Cherry Bomb says

    great work!! to PE, Chuck D and Dr Gaye Theresa Johnson… great post, thank you

  2. It is sad that Chuck whom i respect much has yet to read the patriot act. I wish he felt the same about the patriot act.

    I guess no one is concerned about the executive order giving INTERPOL immunity in the US.

    The Patriot act is much more draconian than enforcing immigration laws.

    Progressive propaganda rules the day in the The USSA.

  3. And tell all this to the nortenos and surenos in the cali prison system and the streets. Even they dont like each other. LOL

  4. Chuck has spoken out against the Patriot Act several times in song, concert, and his college lectures. Big ups to Chuck!

  5. Chuck D usually shows great insight and compassion for people and community. Respectfully, his position on immigration hurts Arizona residents of all colors. Arizona is out of money and can’t fund basic services for its residents.
    This fiscal year revenues from individual income taxes is down 11.8%, corporate taxes down 63.3% and use tax is down 15.4%
    http://www.azdor.gov/Portals/0/TaxFacts/1209Taxfact.pdf
    Arizona can’t sustain funding services to legal or illegal immigrants and its residents.

  6. It’s a sad day when there has to be a remix of “By the Time…”

    The bill is deceitful, even though on its surface would make sense on a broader scale with ALL things even. Of course, that isn’t the case since these same folks won’t touch the companies hiring illegals in the first place, but target those wanting/needing to work…what a world!

  7. Robert Jr. James McClendon says

    Boy, you all will boycott Arizona for “illegal working immigrants”, but won’t hold back on red cent to help your brothers and sisters that incarcerated by this systematic institutional racsim. In Philadelphia, PA they know exactly how many prison cells to build based on the number of kids that can not read by the third grade. Welfare/Child Support, education, and hip-hop is all apart of Black people’s down fall, but ain’t nobody speaking a word on that. The same people that own the media are the same people employing these illegal aliens that’s why nothing ever happens. they ain’t doing work for the average white people that you and I work for. They “economically locked” to the same people that you negroes are who run the media and hip-hop. This bill is necessary to make the Federal Government recognize that if the Federal people won’t do what’s right becasue they fear the “powers that be”, the people of Arizona will do something to stop the illegal activity. The country is run by the people (the legal one’s that is). Hip-hop is always on the wrong damn side. HELP YOUR OWN DAMN RACE AND STOP DESTROYING IT BEFORE TO TRY TO HELP SOME ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO AIN’T EVEN SUPPOSED TO LEGALLY BE HERE. GET THE 44% OF THE BROTHERS OUT OF JAIL CONVICTED OF NON-VIOLENT OFFENSES FIRST, CHUCK D.

    I’M TIRED OF CHUCK D, MICHEAL ERIC DYSON, CORNELL WEST, AL SHARPTON, TAVIS SMILEY AND THE REST OF YOU FOLKS HIRED TO SPEAK FOR JEWS. ITS SICKENING!

    Boy, you all will boycott Arizona for “illegal working immigrants”, but won’t hold back one red cent to help your brothers and sisters that incarcerated by this systematic institutional racsim. In Philadelphia, PA they know exactly how many prison cells to build based on the number of kids that can “not” read by the third grade. And you see no correlation betwen education and the prison industry. Welfare/Child Support, education, and “hip-hop” music is all apart of Black people’s down fall, but ain’t nobody speaking a word on that. The same people that own “the media” are the same people employing these illegal aliens, that’s why nothing ever happens. They ain’t doing work for the average white people that you and I work for.

This bill is necessary to make the Federal Government recognize that if the Federal people won’t do what’s right becasue they fear the “powers that be”, the people of Arizona will do something to stop the illegal activity. This country is suppose to be run by the people (the legal one’s that is) for the people. Hip-hop is always on the wrong damn side. HELP YOUR OWN DAMN RACE AND STOP DESTROYING IT BEFORE YOU VERY WELL TO TRY TO HELP SOME ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO AIN’T EVEN SUPPOSED TO LEGALLY BE HERE. GET THE 44% OF THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OUT OF JAIL CONVICTED OF NON-VIOLENT OFFENSES THAT HAVE NO RIGHTS AS AMERICAN “CITIZENS” FIRST, CHUCK D.

    I’M TIRED OF CHUCK D, MICHEAL ERIC DYSON, CORNELL WEST, AL SHARPTON, TAVIS SMILEY AND THE REST OF YOU FOLKS HIRED TO SPEAK FOR JEWS. ITS SICKENING!

    • Save it Robert those are our brothers and sisters.. plus ur an iconic figure who has done alot of things in this industry, what do you need Chuck’s help for? u already have it on lock.. Use your influence.. Plus you repeatedly said Hip Hop aint about shit so why you asking for them to help?

      For the rest of Y’all Chuck D, paris and dead prez did an entire album focusing on political prisoners, incarceration and all that good stuff.. Check the archives for interviews and reviews..

  9. Great track by Mr.Chuck D and I’m definitely going to check out the archives for the interviews. Thanks Davey D

  10. Dj Grand V says

    This Is Deep Ya’ll.. Fight The Power!!

  11. White Man’s world that’s food for thought, you do the dishes…

  12. Let us not forget, Mr. McClendon, that some, or many of the immigrants that this will target are African descendants, fleeing economic oppression that originates in the so-called first world. The media insists on portraying this as a Mexican issue, but it is a divisive tactic that makes many of our brothers and sisters invisible. There is enough struggle and there are enough warriors to go around.

    In Lak Ech – tu eres mi otro yo – you are my other me.

  13. Robert Jr. James McClendon says

    This is an illegal issue, point blank! If Black folks stood up for the Blacks who did something “illegal”,,,, This is about too many illegal people being brought here to do construction work, days work, and all kinds of other work cheaper than Americans without paying taxes and receiving welfare and medcal care. Black people better wake up and stop falling for thejewish propaganda. brothers are in jail and when they get out can’t be employed because they have a record, these people are illegal coming in and YOU REWARD THEM! Davey d, you need to be shot!!!

    • Just so we’re crystal clear Robert you are siding with this guy here?


      Russell Pearse the author of the immigration bill in Arizona..I’d never thought I see a real life Klansman.. but here you are in the flesh..

  14. Robert Jr. James McClendon says

    GOD BLESSTHE GOVENOR OF ARIZONA FOR HAVING THE BALLS TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BECUASE BARACK AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED BY ISRAEL WASN’T GOING TO SAY NOTHING. WAKE UP, AMERICA! THESE PEOPLE ARE ILLEGAL. GET YOUR PAPER WORK AND YOUR IN ORDER. DO IT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAD TO DO IT. FORGET WHO YOUR “EMPLOYERS” ARE. AND WE KNOW WHO ARE EMPLOYING YOU PEOPLE.

  15. Robert Jr. James McClendon says

    and this hip-hop, I MADE A RECORD SHIT AIN’T BEING A CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST, DAVEY D, ITS JUST AN ALBUM THE JEWS LET THEM MAKE.

    • No Robert it was independently produced.. Black owned Black run.. do ur homework .. and again as I said you have all the civil rights activism on lock so why do you need anyone to help you? You don’t need anyone in Hip Hop to be involved with anything you do..and now that youhave so eloquently sided with a well known White supremacist neo-nazi..in support of that Arizona bill, you’ve said it all..

      Russell Pearse is the guy who wrote and sponsored that Arizona Bill sb1070.. he’s the same guy who authored sb 1108 which outlaws ethnic organizations including the NAACP, from being allowed to form on college campuses in Arizona. so for now on fam.. I have no choice but to see you in that light.. a guy who works with and sides with neo-nazis..and white supremacist.. the very people you as a civil rights activist fought against..

  16. It’s all too bad that many in the black American community have fallen into what is called Afro-Saxonism. back in ’08 I had the pleasure of attending a lecture by Felipe’ Luciano, one of the ex-Last Poets, and who is of black-Puerto Rican background..
    He took the time out to point out the shared history of struggle with blacks and brown-latinos in the New World, North and South America..
    He emphasized that blacks should support the immigration movement, and not succumb to the reactionary rhetoric that the conservative culture likes to espouse.. For all the “true Afrikan soldiers” out there, you cannot get mad at a Mexican for being a day laborer at whatever job when your black brother/sister/etc. doesn’t want to get up before 11 a.m. because they’ve been balling at the club or playing videogames until 5 a.m., etc. How many heads refuse to work at a restaurant or retail place, McDonald’s/Wal-Mart, etc., because “they ain’t payin nothin’!”? but when we shop at Wal-mart we get mad at how many Latinos are up in there pushing carts or whatever.. How many heads get mad because it’s a group of Latinos cutting lawns in the neighborhood, but our folk want to buy a set of car rims instead of a mower & other equipment to start a business? People need to have a lot more intellectual honesty in place before they call themselves coming to their conclusions..

    • Hype I think that narrative fits some people.. I definitely heard such talk, I hate to think it applies to alot of us.. the more insidious side to this where people like Robert fall prey to is simple divide and conquer over some bullshit.. Some of that BS is what you pointed out, but alot of it is selective history and a misguided sense of entitlement.. That entitlement argument usually comes in the form of people saying ‘We marched w/ Dr King during the 60s and they (Latinos) werent there..’

      First, many of those folks making such claims never did anything including march.. and 2-They selectively decided to ignore volumes of history that clearly show there were resistent movements, liberation struggles and of overt oppresion in brown and tellow communities all over this country.. . Also the different parts of the country have different ways in which things played out.. The shared struggle Blacks and Puerto Ricans had in NY maybe different than what Blacks and Chicanos endured in Texas which is even more different in California..

      3- Principle is principle.. I don’t care how many people cross the border.. This is stolen land.. and last I checked we been regulated and smashing on people from here to grenada and beyond.. lets not even talk about Africom, us vetoing emargos to South Africa etc.. We done stole more land and resources then anyone else on the planet and most of us as Black folks ain’t offering to give anything back.. Somebody come to Robert and say Fam u on native burial ground..rise up, first thing out of his mouth would be a song and dance about how ‘he built this country.. and blah blah blah.. end result.. he ain’t given up his gains no matter how much blood is own it..

      4-So blinded by hate they’ll side with the devil. Russell Pearse is the devil anyway you slice it.. His record and remarks speak for themselves.. You dont side with such people..because of what they represent historically.. and in Arizona what they represent today.. This cat is siding with a Neo nazi.. who hates brown folks and has no love for Blacks.. All I can do is shake my haed..

      I appreciate the words Hype

  17. Arizona can pass race base laws, pass Birthers laws, pass no permit conceal weapons laws and the state boycotted Martin Luther King Day, well the rest of the Country can boycott the state of Arizona and spank them where it hurts them the most their pocket book. Their phony patriotism is sickening, they are just racists going by another name. We all know you are just itching to put a sheet on their head? Let’s face it the Republicans had eight years to deal with health care, immigration, climate change and financial oversight and governance and they failed. It appears that the Republican Party is only good at starting wars (two in eight years, with fat contracts to friends of Cheney/Bush) but not at winning wars as seen by the continuing line of body bags that keep coming home. The Republicans party will continue turned inward to their old fashion obstructionist party (and their Confederacy appreciation roots) because they continue to allow a small portions (but very loud portion) of their party of “birthers, baggers and blowhards” to rule their party. I will admit that this fringe is very good at playing “Follow the Leader” by listening to their dullard leaders, Beck, Hedgecock, Hannity, O’Reilly, Rush, Savage, Sarah Bailin, Orly Taitz, Victoria Jackson, Michele Bachmann and the rest of the Blowhards and acting as ill programmed robots (they have already acted against doctors that perform abortions). The Birthers and the Tea party crowd think they can scare, intimidate and force others to go along with them by comments like “This time we came unarmed”, let me tell you something not all ex-military join the fringe militia crazies who don’t pay taxes and run around with face paint in the parks playing commando, the majority are mature and understand that the world is more complicated and grey than the black and white that these simpleton make it out to be and that my friend is the point. The world is complicated and people like Hamilton, Lincoln, and Roosevelt believed that we should use government a little to increase social mobility, now it’s about dancing around the claim of government is the problem. The sainted Reagan passed the biggest tax increase in American history and as a result federal employment increased, but facts are lost when mired in mysticism and superstition. For a party that gave us Abraham Lincoln, it is tragic that the ranks are filled with too many empty suits and the crazy Birthers who have not learned that the way our courts work is that you get a competent lawyer, verifiable facts and present them to a judge, if the facts are real and not half baked internet lies, then, and only then, do you proceed to trial. The Birthers seem to be having a problem with their so called “facts”. Let’s face it no one will take the Birthers seriously until they win a case, but until then, you will continue to appear dumb, crazy or racist, or maybe all three. I heard that Orly Taitz now wants to investigate the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Stanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC), she wants to re-establish a family values party, that’s like saying that the Catholic Church cares about the welling being of children in their care, too late for that.

  18. Over 150 years ago there was a law that made certain people “illegals” if they left their “proper place” and ventured North across an invisible line in the Earth. Like in AZ today, it became a crime to not report those people and send them back. This was known as the Fugitive Slave Act. There are times when “immoral” is more important than “illegal”.

  19. Robert Jr. James McClendon says

    Who runs the media? Who runs this web site? Who runs hip-hop? So, who’semploying these illegal immigrants as well as employing those in hip-hop to continue the pipeline of imprisoning our people. Davey D, you needto be shot! I SEE WHY THEY ALWAYS HAVE YOU ON TELEVSION. THEY PUT YOU UP AS OUR RACES LEADER AND YOU AIN’T EVEN FROM NEW YORK NOR WAS DOWN WITH RAP MUSIC. THE JEWS ANNOINTED YOU. YOU NEED TO BE EXPOSED, FELLOW!!!

    • LOL ok Robert as long as we know u support the policies of a Neo-Nazi.. nothing more needs to be said.. U did say u support the bill in Arizona right Mr Civil Rights? Aaah yes, you did the one put forth by Russell Pearse.. U did say that right? That my friend is now on record, so everything else u say is moot..All this leadership talk and who chose who is a coverup… We know who u stated ur down with.. Robert McClendon supports SB1070.. That bill was co-written by a member of White National Alliance..Robert Pearse.. Same man who u pushed to get rid of ethnic studies and Black organizations on campus.. This is who u supported Mr Civil Rights.. I suggest u clean that up.. Until then.. u lost all credibility with me

  20. Robert Jr. James McClendon says

    NEVER TRIED TO GAIN CREDIBILITY WITH YOU, DAVEY D. YES, I SUPPORT THE GOVERNOR MAKING AN EFFORT IN ARIZONA. THOSE THAT CONTROL THE MEDIA ARE FEEDING ALL OF THIS NEO-NAZI STUFF TO FILLUBUSTER HER ACTIONS. DAVEY D, YOU LOST CREDIBILITY WITH ME A LONG TIME AGO, FELLA. YOU PEOPLE HATE YOURSELVES FOR THE LOVE OF THOSE PEOPLE’S MONEY. KNOW WHO EMPLOYS THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN CONSTRUCTION AND SEE WHY THE WORD “NAZI” WITH PINTO BEANS KEEP SHOWING UP. SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING, PEOPLE. I GIVE THE “WHITE LADY” CREDIT FOR HAVING THE BALLS. YOU KNOW THOSE WHO PUT BARRACK IN THEIR AND RUN HIP-HOP AND THE MEDIA AIN’T GOING TO DO NOTHING.

  21. Robert Jr. James McClendon says

    For the record, I agree with the governor of Arizona. for the record I disagree with what hip-hop has been doing to the Black race for the past 33 years. For the record, those who employ the illegal immigrants and finance our politician won’t let anything happen. Istead of importing jobs, we just bring the people hear and use tax paxers money to house them and provide medical care. For the record, these wicked people are goingto do what they always have done, but I KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG. I WILL NOT SIDE WITH THE DEVIL SO HE CAN KEEP HIS POCKETS LINED. IF BLACK PEOPLE OPENED THEIR EYES TO SEE WHAT THEY WERE DOING TO OUR RACE… LOCK YOU UP, GIVE HIM YOUR JOB TO TAKE CARE OF HIS FAMILY… “WILLIE LYNCH” TO THE 9TH POWER TYPE SHIZZZ!!!!

  22. Robert Jr. James McClendon says

    I support Neo Nazi like you have been advocating the destruction of the Black Race wit h”HIp-hop” since I’ve been on here. You are hired by jews to keep our people in darkness. have the whites fightingagainst the blacks while the jews clean up with all the money. Buddy, you stand up for nothing except the jew dollar. YOU CAR NOTHING ABOUT YOUR RACE AND PEOPLE, DAVEY D. AND THEN YOU STEAL MY WORK ON “RAP MUSIC” FOR THE JEWS ON HERE. YOU AIN’T WORTH A CRAP, DUDE!!!

    • Robert.. what ever u say is irrelevent.. Here’s the simple fact.. U support an Draconian immigration bill that was co-authored and sponsored by an avowed white supremacist..His name is Russell Pearse.. You supported this bill while claiming you are a Civil Rights activist..Most Civil Rights orgs fought vigoriously to
      1-Get rid of Hate groups like the Neo-Nazis and the Klan
      2-They fought so we could have ethnic studies
      3-They set up chapters for their respective Civil Rights orgs on campus

      You Robert support a bill that wiped out ethnic studies in Arizona and you support a man who made it so Civil Rights orgs can’t form groups on campus.. This my friend is your legacy. You are on the wrong side of history..

      Now as for who I been hired by.. I am hired by no one.. I work for myself..thats a pretty well known.. You my friend.. support neo nazis..
      You said it, you advocated it.. accept it.. This is who you are my friend.. quite frankly thats sad..

  23. Racist? Deport the illegal alien Irish first — who cares? This has nothing to do with race and nothing to do with immigrants.

    It is about illegal aliens — Chuck D, live your values. Take the doors off your home and the screens from your wide-open windows. See who crosses your home’s borders without permission — . You’ll learn fast what the Arizona law is really about.

    • hahaha..aint nobody running into ur screen doors.. if ur so gung-ho abt stopping ‘illegal aliens’ put ur money where ur mouth is.. STOP SHOPPING WITH ANY BUSINESS OR PRODUCE THAT USES CHEAP ILLEGAL LABOR.. pay the full wage..do that and then come talk.. until then its all racist rhethoric

  24. WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF THIS SITE IS DELETING POSTS. IF YOU GOOGLE CERTAIN PEOPLE THEIR POSTS WILL BE DELETED. THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

    • Yeah its right.. Its my site.. say something out of pocket its done.. be warned.. come cortrect.. express your thoughts and refrain from being atroll.. If folks feel its wrong..kick rocks;.. use common sense
