Immortal Technique: Our ignorance affects the world

Hip-hop artist Immortal Technique is a self-described social guerrilla. Felipe Coronel is the real name of the Peruvian-born, Harlem-raised political activist who raps about politics, religion and racism. Since the genesis of the OWS movement, Tech has been an active voice for the cause, and on July 10 a documentary will be released showing his everyday life. He now joins us with more on his beliefs and his work.

I also think the answer to that question lies in the fact that people are more inclined to act when the oppression is overt. This is why people were more socially and politically conscious in America during the 1960s. There are other countries whose current repression matches or is more than the level of oppression America saw in the 60s so they are more inclined to fight. But as long as the oppression is subtle, quiet, and gradual in execution, the response from people will be lethargic.

In one year RT has probably invited Immortal more than three times.
