Does anyone know? If it went on as planned, I suggest we boycott Amos's. I wonder if his recently scheduled concert at Amos South End in Charlotte was cancelled also? Does anyone know?

Buju Banton has no place in a civilized time. His message of hate and the bashing of gay persons must never be allowed to echo. It is one thing for a musician to sing anti-gay lyrics, but to also engage in the physical attack of gays is another thing. Some may not know this but Buju was involved in the brutal attack of a gay man, which I believe, left him blind. However, thanks to the double-standard of a corrupt justice system, he got off with mere slap on the wrist!Those of us who believe in rights of all humans cannot allow such actions to go unnoticed, or to give Buju an award for his crime against humanity.For many years now the gay community has been calling to him to make a formal apology, yet he refuses to. If he is truly regretful of that song and his actions, he would be writing songs geared towards his fellow colleagues in the music industry, teaching them to stop with the hateful lyrics, and instead sing about peace and love!
