That is why the new President can not associate himself with Hip Hop in any way. The views in that community are far too radical. I love hip hop, but now is the time for it to shut the hell up and let the president do his job. They are set to destroy any danger of children having a different role model than the typical thug.

pathetic excuses for human beings. and i'm not talking about o'reilly and miller.

Wow t and Chris.....so collectively you have decided to condemn them to your one sided ignorance. Nice. Lets just take away their right to say anything about any President....because that would be democratic right??? And as for a pathetic excuse for a human being....well, that would be too easy. Oh and D Tizzle...musical preference does not a role model make. Entertainment is entertainment. When our families in the projects and ghettos from N.Y. to L.A. finally step up and project the morals and values that are needed, instead of supposedly getting them from rappers then we'll see a real change in OUR society.

Bill O'Reilly is d**k. Dennis Miller is annoying. I agree with T and Chris (I'm white, btw) on the fact that it was offensive and ignorant. Maybe some other mainstream rappers (Common, Kanye?, hell even Atmosphere) who haven't made a living off of rapping about selling crack, pimping hos, and killing people, would be better spokespeople for political statements.

my 2 cents.

It was a metaphor referencing George Bush being a white caucasian to telling a white tie (a lie told not to hurt anyone's feelings). Everyone is blowing race way out of proportion in this country. It shouldn't matter that Obama is black. It shouldn't have mattered if George Bush was white. An educated individual would look at the policies rather than the skin color. When an individual involves themselves with racial issues it segregates themselves from the rest of the population (whether they are black or white). A "white" who hates "blacks" will avoid blacks and disagree for what they stand for. A "black" who hates "whites will avoid blacks and disagree for what they stand for. Color doesn't matter. Color doesn't make policies. Color doesn't fix countries. Arguments over color only divid us as Americans even more. Do your homework buddy. Clinton started the ridiculously low home loan rates. Bush should've stopped them, but he didn't. It is Clinton and Bush's fault the housing market being so bad. Outsourcing by big business has destroyed the economy. Nothing is made in the states. It gives us, americans, no jobs. The government can't hand out anymore unless it raises taxes. The country's national debt is $10,629,234,817,046.09. We can't afford government hand outs. Someone has to pay for it. Bush's only real mistake was the war in Iraq. Ignorance wont help the recession, the country or the president. I would suggest some research to everyone writing above me in this column. But I guess that what I would expect coming from people who look at color rather than policies. Please educate yourselves....

Buddy,
You should really educate yourself before blaming Bush for all the problems that have occurred over the last 8 years. Keep in mind that the president was not created in the constitution to carry the burdens of running the entire country. Rather, we have set him up with more responsibilities than can be possibly resolved in our current system. THE PRESIDENT IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH THE MILITARY AND BUREAUCRACY! On a side note, Obama listening to rap has nothing to due with the racism found in this rhyme. There is nothing sophisticated about the term "white lies," we all know that was a play on words and know exactly what connotations were implied. To say otherwise is foolish... don't bury your head in the sand over a clear error in judgment. Peace

Bush didn't f*ck everything up. Get your facts straight.

What if we go around yelling our president is white? You honestly can't tell me that it wouldn't get attention. Obama is not my guy, but I respect the civility and levelheadedness he is showing so far. The inauguration was a great day for Americans, a peaceful transfer of power (there are very few places that this happens IN THE WORLD) and for these two to emit these words of hate..... It just makes me sick. Jay Z was a VIP at the inauguration for God sakes and his woman sang the song Barack and Michelle danced to!! What if back when Clinton was elected a bunch of guys dressed up in white robes and white masks and chanted our president is white? That's basically what's going on here. Flat out words of hate!

It's called freedom of speech mother f*cker

I hate the fact that when asked most people cannot give a reason why they voted for Obama.. I heard a Black DJ put it best before the election when people were calling in and saying "Vote Obama" on his show so he would ask them why and 90% could not come up with a single reason why Obama should be president. It would just be "dead air" nothing he would have to ask if they were still there cause he thought they hung up.. So now is the reason most voted for him cause he is black I think so is that the right reasons NO not to me but thats why this country is a great country cause you can say what you want.. If Obama would have had the credintials and background that McCain had I would have definatly voted for him but he didn't so I didn't..

Now the fact that the black rap stars were all about making sure that everyone knew who they were voting for that's there right. They wore the shirts and made sure that their fans and followers knew who they wanted in so did that maybe sway the vote of the younger crowd probably so do I blame them for their tactics why should I how do you get people to do what you want them to do you show your support for what you believe in any way you can ie words, shirts, songs, ect.. There will always be someone that doesnt like how things are done and thats their opinion and you can have yours so live with it.. The News companies always put a spin on it to get the most out of it wether it makes the person look good or not..

This is my 2 cents and if you dont like it OHHH WELL...

The truth of the matter is this was WRONG this is not about "Blaming rap music" or taking away someone's "freedom of speech", if these were white artists and they made such comments in public(for those of you who dont want to acknowledge that they are racists comments) all of black media would have been all over this demanding an apology! It was disrespectful, it was wrong and inapproriate. I notice the individual who cited the lyrics fail to cite the lyrics by Young Jeezy who referred to Obama as his n*ggah. Yes, Martin walked so Obama could run and win and then be called a n*ggah by a young black man...yeah it gets no better than this!

This is all stupid. We can go back and forth, everybody giving their opinions and nobody changing anything. What does this song have to do with anything? YES OUR PRESIDENT IS BLACK. I'm happy he is. YES BUSH F-ed up the country no matter who doesn't want to admit it, no matter what definitions you want to throw out there, whatever. He f-ed up. He was the worse president ever. We are in a lot more debt because of him and will be for a while. If you took the song to be racist then that's what it is to you. So what!?! Everybody knows this country still has a lot of race issues that may never go away. Just like African Americans had to learn to deal with it, ignore it, over come it and live our lives, all other races can do the same. HEy PlatteRat... What do you think ya'll was doing in ya'll white robes rallying through the streets of the south all those years? Hell, last year around election time? This year 2009? How do you think we felt? How do you think we feel? The little anger and resentment you feel now can't even compare. I wouldn't care about you saying your president is white... that's what they've all been UNTIL NOW! OUR PRESIDENT IS BLACK!!!!!!!!!! Does that offend you? Why? Are you racist? It's just stating a fact. In fact you can look at him like ya'll look at Tiger Woods, or however the f-ck you want to and everybody else going to look at it how they want to. Don't take it so personal, SUCK IT UP. Tell the rest of your Klan we know they still marching and rallying down in Georgia, Florida and Mississippi... I hear bout it, I watch the news and read the papers. We aint scared. We aint going no where! That was the problem back in the day, they was scared. This a new generation and we aint settling for ya'll "Bush-it". Understand? But as far as my president everybody need to respect the man for his mission, his message, accomplishments, etc. F-ck race. It aint got nothing to do with the big picture. Get right America

I can say this in Bush's face

Who ever wrote this article is a jackass... bill Oreilly might not be happy about Obama, but Dennis Miller is a Liberal Democrat... Huge supporter of Obama...

Gather the facts idiot before you go headfirst into a rant about things you know nothing about...

Just because he thinks the song is ridiculous (which it is)doesnt mean he doesnt like Obama...

How are you gonna write a song about your new president that you're so proud of, and drop the N bomb?!?!?

Ignorant!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Daba. Daba #1.

I HAVE TO SAY IF A WHITE PERSON GOT ON STAGE AND EXPRESSED THERE FEELING ABOUT SOME BLACK PERSON THAT WAY AS JEEZY AND JAY Z DID.EVERYONE WOULD BE OUT RAGED. THERE SHOULD BE A PUBLIC APOLOGY. THAT IS A DISGRACE I AM OFFENDED. I FEEL THE BLACK COMMUNITY SHOULD BE UPSET WITH THEM AS WELL THAT IS WHO MAKES YOU LOOK BAD. AS FOR OBAMA I FEEL HE IS GOING TO MAKE CHANGES BUT DON'T FOR GET THERE IS CONGRESS AND THE SENATE. HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH OUT THERE APPROVAL, SO JUST REMEMBER BUSH WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE TO MAKE MISTAKE THERE WAS OTHERS, YOU CAN'T BLAME ONE MAN FOR AMERICA'S PROBLEMS. ITS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US. TOO.

my president white
that mean my president is right
word niggas

i need to say something----what the heck does it mean when people are

Why is when a black man speaks his mind he gets blasted but when someone white says something it goes under the rug. America will always be full of hypocrites and this was ignorant in no part. Fox news loves this stuff and they will pounce on anything that his positive in hip-hop music...anything

hey lets not forget we do have freedom of speech in this country.we blow everything out of proportion at time in this country and its makes us sound ignorant as a whole. I am not justifying what jeezy and jay said was wrong nor right, i am simply saying they have to right to speak their mind.Its as if we are still in the era when a black man had to remain quiet or be punished.Its funny how dennis miller how dennis miller commented about the black community as if we control this country for thousands of years. jay z and young jeezy were products of those same environments that you mention and they came up. They have been contributors to their commmunity as well. If they destroy us so much, why is it that blacks purchases of music is the least out of every race. am sorry i forgot we struggling to put food on the table instead. i got an idea for bill oreilly. i want bill and dennis to swap living accomodations,wealth jobs etc with two guys from the hood preferably black for two weeks and see how it feels to be in our shoes before judging. jay z has the right to talk bout bush and the war on iraq, we aint find bin laden yet and we worrying about iraq. its as if we forgot about sept.11 and the wounds that are still open from the victims family. see we rush to fight a war overseas when we got war going on right in our own yard call poverty and crime. the white house not too far from the so called ghetto or hood and i bet they wouldnt take the time to just visit. oh yeah blame on a security issue. lets look at the fact before bush there was a surplus, after bush its a defecit.we cant blame jay and jeezy for how they feel cuz it our people(all races suffering from hardship)who feeling the crisis cuz when you(bill and dennis) wake up in the morning you know that your going to work, we gotta wonder whether or not we still have a job. when you leave that job paying you millions you know your going homw to your big house where all the utilities are paid in full and the butler preparing you food & bath, we gotta wonder if we still have a home and food and if so is the utilities on. so whenever you want to talk bout role models do me a favor go to new york marcy park or atlanta bank head. last but not least before u lashed out at a man, try walking in his shoes and seeing where he comes from 1st

i understand where jayz is coming from. go jay. may god bless BARAK OBAMA AND HIS FAMILY. ALSO GOD BLESS AMERICA

Bush did f*** up everything. he was the WORST president in history. Stop sugarcoating s**t and keep it real. Why would I want to respect someone who did such a terrible job as him. F*** Out Of Here!!! And everybody that's hating on Jay f*** out of here too. Those lyrics have more class than you. In the infamous words of Kanye,
