and u aren't looking enough if you can't 'find' anything on it...I did with one click.

One on level it bothers me because I personally would never associate an entire race of people with something negative. I think we can all agree that doing so is racist.
On another level it bothers me because I never like when celebrities use their status to get involved with politics. Especially when they say things that are (as Dr. Phil already said) dumb.

The last time I heard of a politician being "hip-hop" was Kwame Kilpatrick. And we all know how that ended.

I'll respect hip-hop when they stop singing about their lollipops and smacking a bitches ass. There was once a time when I actually was really into rap, but with this crap out there now I just can't respect it. And as much as I hate Kanye West, I do like his new stuff... but I can't and will never respect him.

As for Jay Z's comment, it should NOT matter what color the president is, or if it were Hilary's case, what gender. I think that's where the anger comes from.

And he's really not the first African American President. Last time I checked his mom was white.

It matters but it doesn't end there. His comment was dumb for other reasons.

Whatever makes white people more comfortable with the idea. "I voted for the white side."

I don't care what color the president is, I'm just glad a democrat is in there and I really really hope he helps us. I have faith in him.

Oh you care because you're giving the "biracial qualifier."

lmao Any other time someone who has a "drop" of black blood is considered to be black. Now people suddenly want to change that.

As far as the hip hop relevancy in politics...

How about Public Enemy's "Fear of a Black Planet"? LOL...


Dr. AKA_Monet Musings... LOL...

I completely understand being against that because they're not experts they're just regular people who have undue influence.

Hmmm...and I wonder how that "Vote or Die" thing came along a few years back.

From: Propaganda

Because I don't believe a word of what the president said
He filling our head with lies got us hypnotised
When he be speaking in code words about crime and poverty
Drugs, welfare, prisons, guns and robbery
It really means us, there's no excuse for the slander
But what's good for the goose, is still good for the gander

SERIOUSLY. Stop thinking every person's response is directed at you. 33 was referring to Jay-Z.

Stop acting like you're better than everyone else. If you don't like the way people think or think they are racist, then INFORM. But don't inform in an assholish manner. Replying rudely, changing things around that someone says, not reading their entire post, and assuming that everyone's posts are directed at you are not going to get your goal accomplished... although I'm not sure what your goal is exactly, but it you're coming across as the angry black man. Yes. I said it. You've thrown out racial insults (calling TexasWSP a cracker) and have just been completely rude.

I remember LibraSoul from when I first came to the boards. She didn't get all pissy when something came out of white person's mouth (keyboard). She instead took her knowledge of her culture and taught people.

Bottom line, if you think someone is "ignorant", then try to teach them, instead of perpetuating stereotypes. The way you've been replying to people isn't going to get them to listen (read) what you have to say. And you've been doing it all over this forum.
