Is Magic Johnson a HO?
Posted by Bossip Staff
We actually liked Magic before this sh*t. We thought it was suspect when we saw a video of Magic explaining why he is supporting Hillary Clinton.
Well, it was about the stacks, Magic is in talks for a $750 investment fund with a close Clinton supporter, Ron Burkle. Ron Burkle also owns some of Sean Jean so don’t expect Diddy to be supporting Obama anytime soon.

First, and yes Magic is a w*****. An AIDS infected w*****. Hahahahaha
Is there a secret cure for HIV?
What the hell is wrong with you, Bossip?
Black people don’t have to automatically vote for Obama. The days of the black herd mentality are OVER.
Let Magic support who he wants to.
He is a black man with AIDS…of course he a ho. smh
exactly, dalia. but on another note, i personally don’t believe magic ever had HIV. i think it was a publicity ploy to take attention off the fact that he cheated on his wife.
It is better that Clinton wins….America would never allow a black man to be president….They didnt kill, JFK, his brother and bumped off his son…to allow Obama to lead the worlds super power!
Seriously if you want those corrupt war mongering fascist out….as see some peace in the middle east…vote Clinton!
how the ***** is he the only person IN THE WHOLE WORLD that has been “cured”? SMH
@ Dalia, I agree. I am black & from the south. I am not supporting Hillary or Obama. I deal with issues not plantation politics.

You mean this white women are paying these Black Men for support…I am shocked! No not really!
I believe there is a cure for AIDS, and only those in the top can get a hold of it…Magic is one of them! Aids is about ethnic cleansing…..on the whole, why would those up the top who need to stop surpress the poor, 3rd world countries and black people…if Aids is kill them and us of prefectly fine!
The man had HIV and has been cured of it!
New shows and yes, even a new lawsuit come with the territory of launching a new network.
Author Staci Robinson is suing The CW, its owners and some producers for $40 million for allegedly stealing the concept of her unpublished novel to create the sitcom “The Game,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The writer claims that in 2001, she had interviewed for a job as a writers *****istant at Kelsey Grammer’s Gramnet Prods. when she gave a manuscript of her novel to “Game” executive producer Mara Brock Akil. The suit, filed Sept. 14, alleges that the series copies her premise and the characters in the book.
She names the CW and its owners, CBS and Warner Bros., Akil and Gramnet as defendants. Besides the hefty monetary damages, Robinson is seeking a temporary restraining order to keep the network from premiering the show on Sunday, Oct. 1.
Both the written and filmed versions center on a woman who is devoted to an NFL player, but wants to pursue her professional schooling. The show stars Tia Mowry as Melanie Barnett, who gives up Johns Hopkins Medical School in favor of a local school when her boyfriend Derwin Davis (Pooch Hall) is chosen as the new third-string wide receiver for the San Diego Sabers. Soon, however, she gets embroiled in the complicated life of being a player’s significant other. Brittany Daniel, Coby Bell, Hosea Chanchez and Wendy Raquel Robinson also star.
***** black people. i’m voting for hillary, too. if obama becomes president, it won’t be long before all the black people that voted for him start calling him “sellout” and start finding fault with every decision he makes. so why put him through all that? Clinton ‘08
This is why I was sceptical when Bossip started meddling wid politics. This is a damn democracy so stop wid the pro-Obama polemic. Support your candidate with thoughful & respectful evidence, don’t just bash your oponents purely for having a different position. Jeez..not every black person has to suport Obama. great start to the year.smh
AND THIS IS COMING FROM A KEEN OBAMA SUPPORTER
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT
LOOK OUT FOR A SPECIAL SURPRISE APPEARANCE FROM A MYSTERY MULTI-PLATINUM, MULTI GRAMMY WINNING R&B SONGSTRESS AT HIS YONKERS RALLY NEXT YEAR. I CAN’T TELL Y’ALL WHO SHE IS THO…
Who said he is the only person? Just because he publically came out and said he has Aids…doesnt mean there are not others!
is one really trying to tell me, a man made disease there is no cure for it?
Speaking of Majic and AIDS
Paul Mooney was like what kind of AIDS does Majic have FinicialAIDS, hell I want that kind of AIDS. he own burger shop,theatres, lakers, coffee shops, etc.
Then he was like, the doctor told me Paul your neg. I said damn, then the Doc said Paul your Positive. I was like yes I am gone own me a STARBUCKS. LOL
Paul Mooney is off da chain.LOL
u guys are exactly why black people should never be allowed to be president or even run for it…
@ Nyeve shut the ***** up wid that ignant ish
HOLD UP.
Nyeve..is your name *****ounced NAIVE? LMFAOOOOOO…yo momma did you wrong wid that one
@Dalia
I agree, NOT EVERY BLACK PERSON HAS TO SUPPORT OBAMA! Damn! And @WeeUpGirl, Magic STILL has HIV. Many people live with HIV for decades and still do well because of the advances in the treatment. If he took an HIV test, it would be positive and continue to be positive forever.
Does he have to support Obama? Let people do what they want and stop forcing your political beliefs onto others. A vote should not be based on the color of a candidate’s skin!
@ weeupgirl
that’s a good point. magic is rich. he can go overseas to Europe or somewhere, and get the cure, because, contrary to what people want to believe, AIDS ia government made disease, a billion-dollar industry. why give up all that money just to cure people and save lives? the US government doesn’t think that way. they are all about MONEY. and it is more profitable to treat a disease than it is to cure it.
There is a part in Africa where many where suposed to have Aids…but couldnt catch it? (now I need to know how where people meant to have caught aids…unless it was delibrately injeted inside of them)…there was a programme where a scientific company wanted to experiment on these people for money..i.e delibrately inject them with Aids OFFICALLY…to see how it goes..this was years ago….IMO there is a cure for AIDS..but it is about ethnic cleansing and making money at this moment in time!
the issue here is Magic has a business interest to support Hillary, can you people read?
magic actually said that he was cured. that’s why i don’t believe he ever had it.
so
so to chris stokes..not you da r
Talking about Aids..if far more important than Clinton IN MY HUMBLE OPINION!
@ Weepugirl
Chris Rock once said”
There is no cure in AIDS because there is no money in the cure,the money is being able to keep you alive not cure it. The doctors are still mad about all the money they lost with Polio. You don’t know too many people who have Polio, anyone feeling a little Polie, what they will do if find treatment to where you could live alot longer with it pretty soon people will come to work and say man my AIDS was acting up…but I took some Robtussin and I am all better.. LOL
Obama is not even black. The man was born in Hawaii, his mother is white, and his dad was a medical student from Kenya. His ancestors were never slaves and they never had to deal with segregation in the South. While all this should not matter, I think it is unfair that Oprah tries to ***** him off as being African-American by quoting MLK at his rally. The only reason she is supporting him is because she wants his *****. Oprah Obama has a nice ring to it. rofl.
all you black people talking about “support obama”, how do you know he won’t flip the script when he gets in office and become the biggest uncle tom in history?
Does it upset anybody else that when something happens, the white powers run to Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson?
Somebody needs to tell them that these sell-outs don’t run anything except their shoes over.
It is an insult to every black person when white powers *****ume that certain black people control the black vote.
I HATE that sh*t!!!
Every black person is NOT a Democrat and every black person is not a traitor for not voting for Obama.
Vote on the issues; not color.
@ a true gem
yep, and they said it’s the same situation with cancer, too.
@Weeupgirl,
True! AIDS/HIV is much more important than Obama and Clinton! HIV is REAL, it can kill you, and people (especially Black people) need to watch what we do and how we do it so that ***** will stop spreading in our communities! And I think Magic said he was “cured” because the medicine is working and it makes the virus level undetectable, but he still can p***** it on and the virus level goes up if he stops taking his meds.
Also, shouldn’t voters be skeptical of a man that decides to run for president the minute he becomes a junior Senator? You have to learn how to crawl, then walk, before you can run. BTW- AIDS probably started when this doctor was trying to create a polio vaccine for children while in Africa. He used chimpanzees in his experiments too. I believe this took place in the 50’s. Maybe, the monkey theory is true to a certain extent, but I do not think the whole eating a monkey or sex with a monkey thing is true. Anyway, there was this whole do*****entary about it. In Uganda, the president claims he has found a cure. Surprisingly, many Ugandans stopped taking their medications, used his herbal ‘cure’, and some studies proved they got better. I do not think AIDS is a conspiracy though to wipe out gays or blacks though the way radicals think. Gay men easily contract AIDS because blood vessles are broken during ***** intercourse.
@Dalia
You speak the truth! Democrats aren’t doing Black people any more good than Republicans. Do the research for yourselves, and vote the issues and the person, not throw your vote away on any idiot democrat just because historically it’s expected of you.
Magic is a businessman now. Anything he do now is all about the benjamins. You know , I scratch your back you scratch mine!!!
Actually, why do anyone cares what Magic or Oprah have to say? Make up your own mind people. Personally, I vote the issues that have an affect on my life. Living in the North East it is a given that the Democrats are going to win the majority of the vote. That being a foregone conclusion, I’m voting for Ron Paul, not because I’m a Republican (far from it), but because many of the issues that Ron has brought up needs to be addressed, like ending this illegal invasion of Iraq, and Eminent Domain. I’m not naive and I know that Ron Paul is not going to win, but despite what THEY believe, we black people are not monolithic in our thoughts or deeds. I want Obama to win, very much so, but not because he is black, or Oprah endorses him. 20 years of Bush-Clinton is enough.
One more thing, ***** Jessie Jackson. I saw that ***** in the Bahamas a few years ago in a casino, drunk as *****. YEAH I SAW IT.
RON PAUL ‘08!!!!!!
Listen, A DEMOCRAT is far far far BETTER than a REPUBLICAN ANY DAY!
VOTE FOR THE MAN WITH TWO FIRST NAMES! THE PHYSICIAN POLITICIAN!!!
@Straight Hate
I like Ron Paul as well. Living in California, I like his stance on illegal immigration and he’s a State’s Rights guy so he wants to keep the feds out of your business as much as possible.
And yeah, f@^& Jesse Jackson.
Vote for the one who wont give the republicans any time of the day, vote for the one who wont waste TRILLONS of American tax payers dollars on a BOGUS war…which has resulted in the worst kind of WORLD terrorism on a m*****ive scale 24/7
Why vote for a white woman or a african man? Neither are the so-called negroe’s kin….We still have a slave mentality because we don’t research crap…*****oday is going to give us anything, we got to take it..Everybody’s scared to start the revolution..==== http://www.my*****e.com/nazarethjewelz
This man needs to step up to the plate and support causes like my owner does
Damn, you ppl are so ignorant, divided and conquered by the White man that it is pitiful! To the point that you hate yourselves enough that the KKK can sit back and watch you ni66s kill one another each and ev’day in your broken “hood”!
If Obama were to get in office and flip the script and be an uncle tom ~ then your stupid black *****es would still be where you are now, with white folks in charge of your black, stank *****es!
It is sad that you’d rather tear your own down faster than you’d ever consider helping to build yourself and your own UP! Which is exactly why you ppl will remain last cl***** amerikkans with the likes of asians, mexicans, phillipino’s, and even middle eastern terrorists types who continue to migrate to the US and gain more of the American Dream than you ppl dare to even imagine!!!! Wake the ***** up!
$750?
It is an ignorance to be down with someone just because they are black because you are too. I am all for having a black president, but not just because he is black. It could turn out to be the worst nightmare for everyone who voted, “just because he is black”. I am looking at this, I don’t know anything about Obama, and he has yet to prove himself. I have not heard him say enough in his campaign to woo me. On healthcare, he said he will sit down with the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry to come to an agreement to make insurance affordable. Why the hell do you think these pharmaceutical and healthcare organizations will compromise the profits they are making in the healthcare industry. I believe you will truly have to mandate some laws that make healthcare and pharmacy affordable and doable for everyone. Just something to think about. I think he needs to prove himself and I need to see some action from him, before getting my vote.
Damm this niccas hair is tight
Wipe the damn chicken chunks off with a napkin before touching me!!!!
Magic has always been a supporter of the Clintons. He is one of the very few blacks who does believe in loyalty. Because if Obama was not runnig, they be all of Hiliary’s *****!
Like Paul Mooney says, Wake Up Negroes! The Repuplicans are pushing for Obama to win the Democratic nomminee so that the Dems really would not have a chance on winning the White House with Obama against a Republican. Wake Up Negroes!
I wanted to read the story but was too distracted by the “750 dollar investment fund.” Seriously, do you guys even try to proofread your stuff…or, are you just plain ignorant.
I do agree that Black entertainers and athletes are generally greedy, selfish *****s and they should at least endorse a party that’s different from the same old same old fools who aren’t gonna do a damn thing for anybody but themselves. I am sick too death of the Democrats and the Republicans. We need to break the mold and go independent and stop letting folks tell us how to vote. It doesn’t surprise me about P. Diddy though, but Johnson? Yeah a little bit.
Sellout w*****! I never liked his *****.
Magic ain’t *****ody’s cured. He is bloated as hell – look at his face. That proves that the meds are affecting his liver. He just don’t look good. Also, he is a major supporter of gentrification of black neighborhoods and doesn’t roll that profit over to blacks in the community. As for his politics, can’t criticize becuz except for the obvious wackos (guiliani, mccain, romney, huckabee) no candidate has put it out there tough for me yet. Glad to see some good political comments here today.
One more thing, ***** Jessie Jackson. I saw that ***** in the Bahamas a few years ago in a casino, drunk as *****. YEAH I SAW IT.
^^^^^^^^^^^^ LMFAO.. HILARIOUS
I SAID IT BEFORE ILL SAY IT AGAIN, ***** MAGIC, ***** DIDDY AND ***** THE CLINTONS. SHE WILL BE THE NEXT GEORGE BUSH AND ANYONE WHO CAN’T SEE THAT NEEDS TO DO MORE RESEARCH. ALSO ABOUT AIDS, THAT ***** WAS GIVEN TO MILLIONS OF AFRICANS BY A WHITE “DOCTOR” TELLIN THEM IT WOULD BE A VACCINE FOR POLIO WHEN REALLY IT WAS LACED WITH CHIMPANZEE TISSUE CALLED SIV, WHICH IS WHAT HIV COMES FROM WHEN IN HUMANS. ALSO, I GUARANTEE YOU THE RICH ***** WHITES HAVE A CURE, BUT ONLY RICH ***** PEOPLE CAN GET IT! ***** JESSE AND AL TOO. GO SUPPORT OBAMA !!! IT AIN’T NOTHIN TO DO ABOUT BLACK, CLINTONS ARE LYING DOUCHEBAGS ***** EM. OBAMA IS WHERE ITS AT, OR EVEN EDWARDS, HES GOOD TOO!!!
Magic has the right to support Clinton. Magic isn’t that big of an endorsement anyway. Obama has way more juice in his little finger, than Magic did in the 80s.
what if there was something OTHER than demoRATS and REPULSicanz?
NEITHER of these entities r checking for our well-being as humans in this country/world…(itz like someone asking u would u rather be shot or stabbed to death! please, opt for “neither!”) THEY only want ur VOTE…so go get ur ho-stroll on and go vote for b.o…ur only humoring urself…it won’t matter…u will c…
I knew it. I knew it. The only time the Clintons are getting black support is when they pay for it. The Clintons should have been supporting Magic Johnson’s good causes all along, because he does have some good causes. But this.. this is nasty.
I remember how hardcore Clintonites tried to say that only ‘evil republicans’ would bring up how ludicrous it was for Magic to make his weird comments about rookies, given his own rookie year in the NBA. I guess they’ll still come up with some b.s. while trying to pretend that Edwards has no chance and Obama is a raging homophobe.
Now, all that remains to be seen is what Maya Angelou was paid for her support. I know she read that poem (‘the pulse of morning’) during the inauguration of Bill, but something ain’t right still. Why do so many gays hang onto the Clintons?
Why do so many blacks? The Clintons are all talk. And now, there are reports that Hillary, for all her b.s. about how important she was to Bill’s administration and sitting in on talks she really wasn’t supposed to be at and her lying about how unsafe she was when she made her First Lady trips around the world, had LESS security clearance than Monica Lewinsky! I don’t know what’s going on with them. I can’t support them.
I’m not surprised.
Wow. Sad but not surprising. Integrity’s dead I guess.
Brenda wrote, “Like Paul Mooney says, Wake Up Negroes! The Repuplicans are pushing for Obama to win the Democratic nomminee so that the Dems really would not have a chance on winning the White House with Obama against a Republican. Wake Up Negroes!”
More like, “Wake Up Negroes! Having the Clintons back in office will be exactly the same as having Republicans in office!”, Brenda. For real. What’s the point of ‘in name only’?
Clinton acted like a conservative in office, not a liberal — that’s always been the conventional wisdom. Now you have Bill acting like the ‘Son George Sr. Never Had’, as well as George Jr. co-signing Hillary’s bull***** about her years in the White House being experience enough. I’ll take my chances on anybody BUT the Clintons.
As for dreams of taking back the White House — look at what happened when the Democrats won Congress in 2006: NOTHING. Pelosi and crew never meant to go through with impeachment and said so; the things they do want to do, they fail at. The same thing is gonna happen if the Clinton’s are in the White House. All these gr*****roots fools bent on political revenge and are putting their aspirations and hopes and dreams on people who have no intention of following through and have told these gr*****roots fools what they do intend to do.
No more ‘in name only’ nonsense.
Only 500 or so black women died in 2004 of aids. It is not the huge genocide people would like us to believe.
magic can supprot whomever he likes. I guess Bossip is the race police
Well, it was about the stacks, Magic is in talks for a $750 investment fund with a close Clinton supporter, Ron Burkle.
***************************************************
I’m sure you don’t mean $750. I wonder what the actual amount is. Anyway, everyone has a right to vote for whichever candidate they want without judgement for whatever reason. I still don’t know who I am voting for.
Let people support whomever they want black/white male/female. Only because they do not agree with your politics, does not make them “sell outs.” People need to have their own voice, not make up their mind base on what a gossip website says. Keep the politics equal and let the people decide for themselves.
He can vote for whomever he wants to. I’m just glad it’s atleast a democrat and not a rethuglican.
magic isn’t really infected with AIDS,its all set up to appeal and educate the Frican American community.He was paid alot to come out as if he was infected.Trust me.Because he is a figure in the black community,he was used has a spokesperson for the blacks.He got paid to give up the game to go around claiming he’s infected.Though that ***** is very serious so strap it up .
The issue with Obama is not rather he is black , half black, or whatever….the issue is people his lack of EXPERIENCE. I don’t care what the man or woman looks like, but I don’t think I could sleep at night knowing I voted a president into office who lacks experience. I am black and I am not voting for him! He could surround himself with experience all day long, but I still wouldnt feel comfortable. Clinton 08!
BTW…I dont believe Magic ever had HIV either.

I don’t believe so, CaliGirl. Voters should be skeptical of people who talk out of both sides of their mouths and believe in scorched earth politics over coming together. Besides, not everybody is given the chance to crawl in the first place. Senator Obama’s election was historic. Why do black shoot themselves in the foot by embracing unwritten rules meant to keep blacks away from power? That ultimately ends up being some grandfather clause *****. The Constitution of the United States has specific qualifications, as long as you meet those qualifications you should be able to run for president of the United States.
“Age and Citizenship requirements – US Constitution, Article II, Section 1
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.
Term limit amendment – US Constitution, Amendment XXII, Section 1 – ratified February 27, 1951
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. ”
That’s all there is. None of those qualifications say anything about having to be a member of Congress for so many years, or a member of a certain set of corporate boards, or what not. Anybody can run, who meets those qualifications — God Bless America. I will say, I wish this would shoot Hillary in the foot. She really should have stopped with that co-presidency nonsense, especially with her and Bill refusing to release their White House papers. Bill found a way to get around the Constitution through his wife. That’s nasty. Hillary Clinton is a woman who would be nothing without her husband — including during her time as an attorney — running on ‘girl power’, then has her sockpuppets try to talk ***** about a woman of real girl power (Oprah Winfrey) and try to demolish Obama through lies about his religion and his accomplishments. And you know (well, I ‘know’) she was behind the Edwards baby-mama drama revelation a couple weeks ago. Edwards shoots up in the polls, his pregnant mistress is revealed. These Clintons are nasty.
500 or so black women in 2004, was that just in your city Bubothehater? I saw more Aids cases than that from Mr. Sharpton’s scalp
NONE OF Y’ALL HAVE A CLUE WHAT THIS ARTICLE IS REALLY SAYING!!! Only 2 people get it so far. One is the dude named Chris Stokes… y’all REALLY do need to go back and read the article to understand what is going on here…
That said, this is some ISH that you won’t read about in the local papers or on any of the major news outlets… but I’ll remember it at the polls.
Dalia: “What the hell is wrong with you, Bossip?Black people don’t have to automatically vote for Obama. The days of the black herd mentality are OVER.Let Magic support who he wants to.”
YOU ARE RIGHT. AS A FRENCH I HAVE A QUESTION: WHY AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A CELEBRITY ILLNESS? I DONT UNDERSTAND SOMEONE WHO HAS A BRAIN WILL GO TO CHOICE A CANDIDATE BECAUSE OPRAH OR MAJIC OR DIDDY OR PAM ANDERSON ASKED. SERIOUSLY WHY PEOPLE THINK A CELEBRITY CHOICE IS THE BEST? TO SPEAK ABOUT LAST FRENCH ELECTIONS WE HAD SEEN THAT WHEN MANY CLELBRITIES OR FAMOUS PEOPLE ENDORSE A CANDIDATE THEN THAT CANDIDATE HAS MORE CHANCE TO LOST VOTE. FRENCH PEOPLE DONT LIKE BEING DIRECTED BY CELEBRITIES.
ANOTHER THING: WHY BLACK PEOPLE THINK DEMOCRATES ARE THE BEST TO SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS?? IT IS A FALSE IDEA, SURE. MORE TIME IT IS REPUBLICAN PARTY WHICH DOES MUCH BETTER. FIRST TIME IS USA HISTORY WE SAW SOMEONE LIKE RICE OR POWELL, SAME THING IN FRANCE NOW WITH SOME BLACKS IN GOVERNMENT.
A KNOWN PROVERB TELLS: “STAY FAR AWAY, WE GIVE YOU THE FOOD” SAY DEMOCRATS; “COME THERE, WE TEACH YOU HOW TO FIND YOUR FOOD” SAY REPUBLICANS. I PREFER THE SECOND CHOICE TO BE FREE LATER.
Nita,
You have a few good points, but your novels are hard to read with Mr. Sharpton moving around so much!
The ignorance and stupidity is what’s wrong with this country. Bossip…why should someone vote for an individual because of their race? Do you even know Obama’s track record? Does he have YOUR best interests on his mind? Let people vote whoever they want to vote for. Sellout is an overused word by those who don’t know what they’re talking about. As black culture, we’re not going to get far with the uneducated, small minded mentality reflected by some people on here.
Welcome to the world of politics Bossip…All politicians and their supporters are hoes. LOL
Hmmmmm…
Looks like the bossip posts are equally pro/against obama!
look up at the posts ,and read why some of us choose to not vote obama!
Ask yourselves……ARE WE NOW UNDERSTANDING WHY BLACK AMERICA WILL NEVER UNITE?some of us think that we can afford to be choosy ………..?
We can’t afford NOT to vote obama!!
think
obama08
http://www.blackwiz.biz
You have some good points Macho…I fully agree.
Bossip staff do yourselves and favor and stick to what you do best, celeb gossip bossip.
Every single one of you posting better be properly registered to vote and do so when it is time to do so. I hate to hear people ***** and then on election day they don’t feel well, are tired from working all day, car broke down, are in jail, got charged with a felony after registering, moved to a new address an did not update their voter registration, lost their identification on election day, got stuck watching their eight kids on election day, drank up their gas money so they could not drive to the polling station, lost their keys, had to study for an exam,need to pack to go on sudden vacation, or got to high an forgot it was election day. I have heard all of these excuses whispered into Mr. Sharpton’s ear over the years!
@Macho-in-Paris-France: How many blacks (not Arabs, Blacks) are in the National *****embly? And was that before or after the riots. If you think that Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice are symbols of virtuous racial progressive policies of the Republicans, read more alternative news. The Republicans are for corporations not ppl — of any color. Don’t fall into the typical French way of hatin’ on America.
@Nita: Loved the Constitutional roll out. Keep it comin’. What was that about Edwards’ and the baby mama drama?
SMH at folks who believe Magic never had AIDS and he was paid off. Did they pay him to get on meds? There ain’t enough paper to pull that kind of ish. Look at his skin and his bloated neck and face. That man is on meds, has been for close to 17 years and it shows. From his outside, it looks like his inside is about done on those meds.

What experience is good enough for you, Red? And how are you gonna be a Clinton supporter talking about experience — when two of the men with the MOST experience to be president, are downrated as second-tier?
Tell me, Red, in what ways is Hillary Clinton more qualified than half-latino NM govenor Bill Richardson? or more qualified than Senator Joe Biden of Delaware?
Hillary Clinton was First Lady of Arkansas and then First Lady of the United States, then Junior Senator of New York. She got the New York senatorship because she had zero named competition. She wasn’t even a citizen of New York, so why would she choose New York instead of other states which could have used her name recognition and help? What had she done for New York State, before using a Senatorship as a stepping stone to the White House and not as a means to help New York’s citizens first? For the controversy surroundign Obama, at least he lived in Illinois and was out there helping poor people for peanuts as pay, every day. Hillary meanwhile travelled around the world with her daughter and celebrities. Andrew Young, in trying to speak up Hillary during that disastrous ‘Bill has slept with more black women than Barack’ joke, said that Hillary was responsible for shutting down the women Bill slept with. If that’s the best Andrew Young can come up with to support Hillary Clinton, something is wrong.
But you wanna claim Hillary has some sort of experience that Obama doesn’t. You want to claim that while ignoring other candidates. I don’t think so.
Joe Biden is an adjunct professor at a law school, has been a senator since 1972 — this is his sixth straight term — has been leader of an *****load of caucuses and committees. I just looked up his page, and I’m like ‘whoa’. Dude is deeply involved in national security and the war on drugs.
Bill Richardson served as UN Amb*****ador, Energy Secretary, spent 14 years in Congress where he was chair of the Hispanic Caucus, was Chief Deputy Whip and was responsible for introducing 7% of all bills which became law in 1993-1994. He’s been Govenor of New Mexico for 5 years, during which at one point he went to the Sudan to negotiate the release of a journalist.
Hillary Clinton went from being First Lady, to Senator of New York in 2000. She was re-elected in 2006. She had ZERO congressional experience before 2000. She does not teach and if she has taught, it’s not important enough to place it in several places online.
Why would someone, especially a celebrity lie about having AIDS with the stigma *****ociated with AIDS, what a stupid statement. The *****tail makes you live longer and look healthy, AIDS is called the new diabetes in medical circles because you can live longer and it can be managed better with medicine. There is no cure for AIDS and no one in their right mind would admit having it if they don’t. Magic and Darius both have AIDS and look healthy. Side effects on Darius, his face looks swollen.
Like I said before…put black people against unjust opposition and they will tear it down…put them amongst themselves and they will tear each other down…
Who said Barack Obama was the saviour of the American People anyway? Place any powerful black person in the media and we feel they are the way the truth and the light….yall negroes still on jesse jackson and al sharpton’s tip…. find a mind of your own instead of functioning as unintelligible black drones
Vote Barack Obama!!!!!!!!
Anyone other than me think that Bossip is actually published by three White guys sitting in a room laughing at how they can trash even the most positive of Black icons on this site. Do you guys at Bossip even know how Magic invests his funds. Generally, he invests those funds in urban, underserviced communities. Magic has already invested in excess of $1 billion in urban communities. He employs thousands and thousands of minorities in the businesses he owns. And, if he completes a new fund with $750 million, you can be doggone sure that a large portion of that money will be invested in opportunities that benefit our people and our communities. You ought be ashamed of yourselves for the bs way you presented this story. Then again, you could probably care less not being a pro-black site and all…
make informed choices, people. it’s a new year – let us do better. magic can do whatever he wants as much as anyone on these blogs can. being negative just for the sake of being so is hardly intelligent.
Obama 2008!
So sad that some black folks are still *****s for white racist liberals (there really isn’t any other kind of liberal).
Hillary Clinton does not give a damn about the upliftment and advancement of black people. Clinton only cares to enslave another generation of black folks in so called social programs and welfare states so that she can focus on “uplifting” a generation of racist white women who are delusional in believing they are oppressed and call themselves feminists. Hillary Clinton is perpetuating black dependency and racial inferiority. And she and her liberal white women establishment advocate the murder of millions of unborn black babies every year through their butcher shop NARAL.That’s their motto keep blacks poor dependent and kill their babies.
If the Clintons are so black and care so much I don’t see them spending of their crime loot and book deal millions on adopting or building schools for even one of the black children that need homes. They prefer to enforce laws to kill them before they are born.
Thank God Bossip is strong enough to stand up and endorse Obama. And for also having the intelligence and impartiality to acknowledge the brave campaign of Ron Paul.
There is also a poison amongst blacks, it’s called jealousy and in 2008 this poison is no one else’s fault. The negative and rude and condescending remarks that black leaders and the everyday black person has to say about Obama is disgraceful.
Thousands deep cheer on criminals and delinquents and so called causes but they defame a black man for being educated, committed, and ABLE to represent all Americans.
It’s just jealousy and the Clintons are well aware that blacks always fall for divide and conquer. When Andrew Young said in Bill Clinton’s presence that Clinton himself was more black than Obama and Clinton did not correct him, this is ignorant stereotyping. Young, Sharpton, Jackson and many on this board so seeting with jealousy that none of them can bring themselves to support Obama.
But Obama will beat Hillary and this will be a sign of the time to move on from old backwards self-serving white racist black ***** liberal politics.
Obama 2008!
Now we get to Obama. Obama graduated from Columbia University in 1983, then went to Chicago in 1985 to become “a community organizer with a church-based group seeking to improve living conditions in poor neighborhoods plagued with crime and high unemployment.” Obama did it, not because of whom he was *****ing or through whom he was *****ing, but through CHURCH.
“He went on to earn his law degree from Harvard in 1991, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Soon after, he returned to Chicago to practice as a civil rights lawyer and teach constitutional law. Finally, his advocacy work led him to run for the Illinois State Senate, where he served for eight years. In 2004, he became the third African American since Reconstruction to be elected to the U.S. Senate.” Look at that, now. He had EIGHT YEARS of State Senate experience before he became ONLY THE THIRD black US Senator since Reconconstruction. But you want to believe the Clintons’ bull***** that his EIGHT YEARS of state Senate experience don’t mean jack***** in comparison to Hillary Clinton’s 8 years as an unelected ‘co-president’.
“In the Illinois State Senate, this meant working with both Democrats and Republicans to help working families get ahead by creating programs like the state Earned Income Tax Credit, which in three years provided over $100 million in tax cuts to families across the state.” All y’all families and single parents who get that EIT credit in Illinois? y’all need to thank Obama who wasn’t just supporting but was creating.
“His first law was p*****ed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent.” But not his last. As you can also see, he is serious about bipartisanship for the benefit of all Americans.
“As a member of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, Senator Obama has fought to help Illinois veterans get the disability pay they were promised, while working to prepare the VA for the return of the thousands of veterans who will need care after Iraq and Afghanistan.” And he does it without pushing it in people’s faces — like Hillary does ‘for the children’ in regards to her own interests — that he is for veterans.
“His wife, Michelle, and his two daughters, Malia, 9, and Sasha, 6, live on Chicago’s South Side where they attend Trinity United Church of Christ.”
SOUTHSIDE.
He’s also a professor with the University of Chicago Law School and his former students and faculty have nothing but PRAISE for him. He was very popular. Barack Obama graduated magna ***** laude from Harvard Law School. That’s the creme de la creme. That’s with great honors, from an IVY LEAGUE law school. The brother is bad*****.
Hillary Clinton graduated.. well she graduated. She didn’t make magna ***** laude, summa ***** laude or ***** laude. She was in the bottom 50% of Yale graduates, the school that also graduated George Jr. with gentleman’s Cs. Yale, eh? hmmm……… Harvard versus Yale is rich folks Alabama versus Auburn, or USC versus Notre Dame.
Don’t believe the Clintons bull***** about Obama. You can vote against him, or not vote for him at all, for many many reasons — but don’t buy into the Clintons bull***** about his (lack of) experience.
The Clintons are not for us. But they will use us. They will lie to us — just like they lied to us during the 90s; and lied to gays, too — in order to hold onto power. The devil is pleasing, but the devil is still the devil.
@ Nita
Who did you vote for in 1992 and 1996? I have a funny name, but am trying to get serious because I like someone who is puttin out the facts

What has this got to do with the proce of *****?
Response to Caligirl:
I don’t even know how to respond to your comment that Obama is not black. It is this kind of uninformed statement/logic that keeps us black people from progressing. Do you think that white people care whether one of your parents is white or from Africa? As far as they are concerned, we are all black. Just because Obama didn’t experience segregation does not make him any less black because he is experiencing the same bigotry and racism we experience in America today. It’s just amazing how we look for reasons to discriminate against people within our own race. He grew up here so you can be sure that he experienced and still experiences racism too. History shows that if not for Marcus Garvey, we might not have had a ‘Civl Right’s Movement’ and he wasn’t a descendant of American slaves. He was black though. We cannot keep nitpicking who is black and who isn’t. I guess people like Alicia Keys, Tiger Woods, Hally Berry, Boris Kodjoe, etc are not black either (they all have one white parent). I’m sure they will beg to differ. Shame, shame, shame. Magic can support Hillary because he has that constitutional right as an American to do so but don’t tell me it’s because she has such great experience. She might have experience but what exactly as she done? What has she achieved with this experience? What laws have been p*****ed because of her? What has been the benefit to the African American community or America as a whole? Giving birth to 10 children doesn’t make you a good parent. It just make you someone who has given birth to multiple children. I would rather have someone who will create meaningful change than someone who has experience doing the same old thing that has gotten us nowhere!
If Magic’s and Diddy’s vote can be bought against a President their son’s can look up to, then yes, they are hoes.
See, if you teach your children that life is all about singing, dancing, playing ball, parties, out of wedlock kids with multiple women, extra marital affairs to the point of a fatal infliction, then I guess they wouldn’t want their sons looking up to Obama.
So of course Magic and Puffy won’t vote for a brilliant black family man.
If the next generation of black boys grew up wanting to go to Oxford and to be husbands first and then fathers instead of ONLY wanting to play ball and rap and make babies–this would be progress but it would not serve the agendas of Diddy, Magic, the white men who fund them, and of course their main ***** Hillary.
anytime you do it for the money…it makes you a HO. If he supports her because he likes her politics then thats another story. I doubt that, but it’s a slim possibility.
Al Sharpton’s Perm wrote, “Every single one of you posting better be properly registered to vote and do so when it is time to do so.”
I know people who don’t vote because it doesn’t seem like it matters, and more and more it seems like they’re right. And given the irregularities of 2000 and 2004, and the way the Democrats have done jack***** to make sure those irregularities don’t happen again….. I don’t know what to tell people, usually.
Anyway, I’m registered, but if Hillary is the democratic nominee this year, I ain’t voting for her. I refuse. I REFUSE. ***** that ‘history in the making’ nonsense. The Clintons are liars. She’s on my ‘never’ list, along with Mitt Romney and the RINO-*****hole/911 jack***** Rudy Guiliani. If any combination of those three are on the ballot this November, I won’t stay home, but I’ll vote ***** party just to ***** things up before I cast a ballot for any of those three. I didn’t see an option to write in the last two times I was in the booth, but if there is this time, I will write in my neighbor’s dog before voting for any of those three.
HappyNewYear, John Edwards was having an affair with some ugly blond ***** named Rielle Hunter, and people were speculating that *that* was the bombshell story that the LA Times had been sitting on for months. Then she got pregnant. Rielle Hunter is her second name. Some young married white dude named Andrew Young (not the Clinton’s Andrew Young) claims that he’s the father of her baby, instead, and there’s some weird ***** about where Rielle has been living all this time. I think the baby is John’s; John don’t look like he gave up sex just because Elizabeth has cancer, but oh well. But Rielle also looks rich folk promiscuous, so who knows.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth Edwards has tried to throw down against Michelle Obama because Michelle was (allegedly) talking about how the Edwards shouldn’t have taken government money because it screws up their contributions and it proves they won’t be able to fight Hillary Clinton and her war chest and thus a vote for Edwards in the primaries a vote for Hillary. There’s no proof so far that Michelle even made the comment, but the Edwards are spitting fire as if she did. Hillary’s on my ***** list, anyway, because she tried to talk ***** about Obama’s fundraising methods and meanwhile she’s taking money out of a pot meant for all Democrats and am*****ing it for herself — which wasn’t what Obama was doing, even as the year above she took some of his pot. But I don’t know what’s really going on with these heiffers. Now I’m hearing about the Edwards and the Kerrys having all kinds of backstage drama between the wives in 2004. I don’t know if that’s true, either. I liked Teresa Heinz, in spite of myself. I didn’t like Kerry.
Michelle would look good as First Lady. There’s my shallow bias. Michelle won’t be meek. There’s my second shallow bias. And that’s my ignorance for the evening. Folks, if y’all wanna vote, vote. If ya don’t wanna vote, don’t… but it’s better if you do vote.
If somebody is trying to prevent you from voting, report it.
we are also divided by gender.
alot of the black women watto see a woman president!
it’s never about his experience!LOOK AT THE STATE OF AMERICA! ALL OF THE NATIONS BLUNDER’S HAVE BEEN MADE BY “EXPERIENCED” PEOPLE!
alot of us are scared to see a black president. call it self-hate(deep-rooted self-hate) call it justification for our admiration of white’s….

So what are you idiots at Bossip saying he can’t vote for who he wants. Damn it’s not like he’s voting Republican.
Good nite folks! Mr. Sharpton is getting ready to put on his evening head wrap so I will not be able to see the Bossip screen anymore until the morning
Nita you sound like you have a lot of hate for the Clintons, are you sure you’re not Monica Lewinsky??? lol
Blood Diamond Russ supporting John Edwards is the perfect example of black on black jealousy. He’d rather support a spineless fake like Edwards than Obama? Makes no sense other than jealousy. White racist liberals have always owned hip hop and most prominent blacks. During the last election BDR went on and on about going to liberal fundraisers and being the only black person in the room. BDR is so full of crap. He likes being the only one in the room of lying white liberals and they love their little hip hop puppy. John Edwards, AYFKM? (Are you f—-ing kidding me?)
i am absolutely disgusted with this man…damn shame
Just because Magic Johnson is black he is a “sell out” for supporting Clinton? I am impressed by the level of sophistaction of Bossips political commentary. Maybe y’all should stick to b***** commentary about irrelevant, self-aggrandizing celebrities.
CaliGirl shut the ***** up. Being black has nothing to do with being African-American or growing up in the ghetto. Kenyans are blacker than African-Americans anyway, moron.
@Nita, thanx about the information on Edwards and about Obama’s educational record.
@lovely and amazing, thanx about the information about BDR. Getting hooked up with BDR was a f*ck up on Edwards’ part. BDR is poison.
I’m back from vacation and I see not much has changed. Kim K hate still rules this site. Anyway…
The real ho’s are the misguided, everyday, non-famous black’s that are stumping for Hillary Clinton daily. At least Magic has some kind of financial deal in the works. Some of you are giving Hillary that a$$ for free.
She doesn’t care about Blacks anymore than Bush did. She just wants our votes and she’ll say anything to get them. She is a Chameleon. Her dialect, grammar, and mannerisms change depending on speaking venue.
“I Don’t feel No Ways Tired” is a great quote of hers in front of a black church. She won’t say that in front of a white audience, but black people ate it up hook, line, and sinker.
She gets the so called “Ghetto Seal of Approval” or whatever term we are using these days, while Obama(who really is a black man albeit of mixed heritage)has to prove his blackness.
Bill Clinton was annointed as the First Black President just because he:
a) played a little jazz on the sax
b) smoked a little herb
c) got a liitle “brain” from a woman that was’t his wife
Why does a man(Obama) who really is black and is married to a black woman and has black children, have to do more to prove his blackness than the Clintons—and they are actually white?
I believe Obama knows more about being Black in America than either Clinton does.
If the Clintons really cared about Black People, then they would have shown more concern in Rwanda.
A lot of people hold what happened in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina against george Bush. That’s fine, I do too. However, the Clintons have experience in not acting quickly during hurricane aftermaths in NC. Smaller scale than Katrina but the poor whites and blacks affected were just a s badly overlooked and forgotten.
The man can vote for who he wants to. This ignorant herd mentality is pathetic. He is not a sell-out. I heard Bossip is white owned, if this is true it would explain why they don’t attach the sell-out label correctly. They called Cosby a sell out for telling the truth and now they call Magic a sell out for voting for who he wants to. No wonder this site likes to provoke and incite among black readers if its white owned.
@Nonesuch
I think they are calling him a sellout for “selling” his support for financial gain.
Supporting Hillary doesn’t automatically make someone a sellout. It does mean that they are misguided, or naive, or malinformed, or deaf,dumb,and blind, or…
Yes AIDS can kill you, but so can the wrong administration. Go Obama!!!
@access hollywood
If he is supporting her and using his celeb influence to gain support for her even if he doesnt really agree with her all for financial gain…the he IS a sellout. Does Bossip know this for sure? Probably not. Are they allowed to speculate? Of course!
YEP
They say Barack Obama doesnt have experience. but i ask all you nay sayers “what experience does hillary have” a first lady is a SPECTATOR. she was on the spectator lines while her husband did the duty of executive. that does not qualify for experience. the only experience she has is that of senator in which case obama has the same justifiable experience as her.
Yes it is Magic’s constitutional right to vote for whomever he pleases but he’s endorsing for a fee which makes it questionable.
Russell Simmons is a joke. Al Sharpton is a joke. Jesse Jackson is a joke. Most of the black moguls in entertainment and otherwise are jokes. like someone else said, they simply become ***** puppets for liberal white racists. And you better believe that the only thing worst than a republican is a DEMOCRATIC liberal white Racist. Bill Clinton enforced the law that put black men in jail for 10 years plus for selling even the smallest ounce of crack, even for first time offenders.
Funny how people say “why should I vote for Barack simply because he’s black?” but yet you use his very blackness as a reason why he will never be elected.
We have to make history. We have to take the first step in electing this very serious and very ready, very intelligent, very honorable candidate. Give him a chance to make history. More importantly please register so you can vote for OBAMA 08.
All of the old white men have the experience!!! Experience to keep you a second cl***** citizen, right where you are!!! Lots of talking and doing nothing!!! What are WE DOING FOR OURSELVES????? What, what, what?

PDF: Ethnic Tension Poll
PDF: Poll Presentation
By Perla Trevizo
Staff Writer
Most Asians and Hispanics believe the American dream can be achieved through hard work, while blacks remain skeptical of equal opportunities to succeed, according to a recent poll.
Seventy-four percent of Hispanics and 64 percent of Asians believe that “if you work hard, you will succeed in the United States,” while more than 60 percent of blacks said they “do not believe the American dream works for them,” a poll by New America Media, a nationwide *****ociation of ethnic media organizations, reported.
@truth is..whats your point?
blanket statements are awful and a tragedy
Don’t be absurd. He has a mind of his own, something that some of you obviously know nothing about.
What is all this talk about white this and black that!! Let’s talk about the issues not the race. To whoever said that black moguls are just puppets, don’t you think that to get where they are they have to have a mind of their own???
yah he is not a sellout…he’s simply doing whats in his best interest….
Strong black man
What’s up with that picture?? lol
but i can’t help but disagree with him..Clinton is awful, a race mongerer and the definition of a weak women…NAFTA and flip-floppin on the war is a joke
@crazy..i’m an intern
Can you tell your boss (Bush) that he’s the worst thing that’s happened to this country?
i’ve never seen a less qualified person and more unintriguing candidate ever
F@#$K THAT MAGIC NEEDS 2 GIVE UP THE CURE FOR AIDS AND MAYBE ILL RESPECT HIM AGAIN F@#$K THE PRESIDENT RACE AIDS IS A WAR OVER HERE THAT WE NEED 2 BE FIGHTING AND THATS REAL
@crazy…lol Kendrick Meeks is my boss…june-august, i’m in D.C and i’ve only seen him 4-5 times, so our convo is limited to a handshake
why can’t magic or any other person support whomever they want to? that is what the government we call democracy is all about. he’s not a ho for enjoying the rewards of having the opportunity to gain more wealth from this. its what everyone else has been doing for years. at this point, we have to be smart enough not to be influenced by our peers or celebrity supporters and make an educated decision for ourselves
lol i have mixed feelings about (BUSH)…on the one hand his policies are so stiff(war for instance) he’s right and no compromise, but in person he just seems like a regular dude..he talks and walks with the swagger of a citizen
@Strongbman
Are you interning on the landscaping crew, kitchen staff, or custodial team at The White House?
@SBM
That was just a joke by the way, keep up the positive work bro!
Vote Clinton! Besides, I’m sure she’ll choose Obama for Vice President.
Too bad then that he’s surrounded by people like ***** Cheney and Co. It seems like the past seven years have been nothing but mistake on top of mistake. I have nothing against Bush as a person (I might even shake his hand if I ever meet him lol) but as a president he leaves much to be desired.
lol @Al…haha that was funny…
Let me preface my statements by saying that Magic Johnson is my favorite basketball player of all time. And I go back to when they lost to Kentucky when he was a freshman in the NCAA tourney. I love that he puts mad money in the black areas. Much respect for that. But if he is supporting Hillary then I do have a problem with that. I live in Baltimore(home of the most realistic tv show ever created.. THE WIRE) and I saw first hand how they rolled him out late in the last election for gov. here in Maryland. Just as Magic has the right to support who he chooses, we as a people have the same right to reject condescending moves by the Clintons. Here in Maryland, the last race for gov. was close but in the end Cathy Hughes and Magic came out with a media blitz that pushed Martin O’malley to victory. Not to mention thet Baltimore has been one of if not the most violent city in America under O’malleys watch. And he ran under the guise of lowering the crime rate and homicides. People, The Wire is oh so real and the person playing the white mayor on that show is really in real life the exact carbon copy of our current gov. when he was mayor here. The way our city looks like hell on that show is what Cathy Hughes AND Magic Johnson supported. Cathy Hughes is on record as supporting Hillary and whewn she says bark Magic, he does. And by the way Morgan State university and Coppin State here in Baltimore are undergoing dynamic changes. Because of Republicans in the last gov. office. Vote for whoever you want to but also in that same mind set, don’t automatically vote for the Clintons, for as some blacks will try to make you and I believe….they ARE NOT black, they DID NOT free the slaves and Bill Clinton CANNOT walk on water. Just ask black men who were incarcerated under his two terms.(The most in American history) Keep on being duped black people and keep on hating your own. No other race of people…..
@crazy…a lot of my friends at school ask how i can stomach the guy, but like i said, ive only met 4-5 times. People always say they wouldnt shake their hand and i had reservations about it too, cause i don’t agree with him on a lot of issues, but it is an amazing experience. I mean he(bush) is the leader of the free world and whereever your at in that moment of time, your in the safest place on earth!
I guess you’re right about being safe Strong Black Man lol but man am I glad his term is almost over!!!
oh no doubt we get Obama in there “we puttin brothers on the wall”…my chance in 2030(lol) will be easier
You got my vote even though you shook hands with Bush lol
@stringer bell, i was born in Baltimore and haven’t been back in 21years…i want to go back so bad just to visit..For some reason i don’t watch the wire. I should start
You is two dark to run four prezident scrong black man. The guberment will onley uze you for your brane. heh heh
After reading about Sen. Obama’s comments regarding Al Gore’s and John Kerry’s campaigns that “alienated” half of US voters into voting against them, I find Sen. Obama to be “guilty” of repeating faux snooze, right-wing talking points. I wonder now if Sen. Obama will become the next Dem to pull a “Lieberman”.
wow unkle kracka that’s a lot of misspelled words in one sentence
@uncle kracka…lol…thats funny, but by the time i get there, you will be dead(or close too it)only white males in 60’s have a slow ignorant southern draaww like you. 2nd this country will be 40percent brown by then, 3rd your hate stems from recieving cherry pop-tarts for x-mas
if your going to indulge in fellation at least do it for smores pop-tarts, no one eats cherry…yuck!
fellatio*
I prafer biskits and gravey made bye my neighber miss brown. She is black. heh heh
What is this comedy hour, yall got the reverend doing imitations of Uncle Cracker?
If you do your research, most men contract HIV/AIDS from other men. It is very difficult for a man to get it from a woman. Magic was so popular that the media didn’t want that to come out. Take that fact anyway you want to.
VOTE OBAMA !!!
The issue isn’t whether or not Magic supports Hillary, the issue is why. The entire article goes on to say that Magic gave Barack money early in the year, and then after getting into a 750 Million dollar deal with Ron Burkle (a Clinton friend and ally), that he was encouraged to lend his vocal/visible support to Hillary. You can vote for whoever you want, but it is an issue that his support seems to be tied to his own financial well being. The full article is posted on HuffingtonPost, and I don’t think Bossip is telling you who to vote for, they are simply reporting a story that might explain why Magic endorsed Hillary.
Bossip is at it again with its simple minded blurbs.
FIRST OFF I’D LIKE TO SAY I HOPE YOU SORRY PATHETIC PEE BRAIN *****S DID’NT SLEEP WELL AND CAUGHT STD’S LAST NIGHT.THE ARABS OWN 12% OF THE USA BANKING SYSTEM THE JEWS RUN THE MEDIA AND WORLD BANK SO WHITE AMERICA IS JUST A FRONT MAN.IF OBAMA BECOMES PRESIDENT SOME OF OUR ALLIES WILL TURN THERE HEADS CAUSE THEY’RE RACIST TOO. THE KEY IS TO GET THE ARABS ON OUR SIDE WE CAN ONLY ACCOMPLISH THIS IF THEY DEAL WITH A BROWN FACE.WHITEE AMERICA HAS LEFT US HANGING EXAMPLE KATRINA AND ALL THE EVERYDAY INJUSTICES.IF YOU BLACK *****S DON’T VOTE FOR OBAMA THAN YOU DESERVE WHAT YOU GET AND GOTTEN NOTHING.HILARY IS WEAK IF BILL WOULD’VE PULLED THAT ***** HE DID WITH A REAL SISTER SHE WOULD’VE *****ED HIS WORLD UP BUT NOT CRAZY HILARY SHE WAS SLOPPY SECONDS FOR OVER 2 DECADES AND STAYED IS THAT WHAT KIND OF PRESIDENT YOU WANT?
WOW! I have to agree with the poster that questioned whether or not most of the people here can read or comprehend what they read. Why do folk keep asking the silly question “why should black people vote for someone because of their race?” There is NO place in the original post that even remotely suggests that.
The POINT is that Magic’s sudden love for the Clintons was bought and paid for. period! Magic was NOT always a Clinton supporter, he initially supported and contributed to Barack Obama, that is until he went into negotiations with Ron Burkle who is a HUGE Clinton supporter, and one of Bill’s CLOSEST friends. Magic approached Burkle about joining him in a 750 million dollar business venture to take advantage of the markets in the urban areas, and during the course of those negotiations, Burkle suggested to Magic that he should support/endorse Clinton. And like a money w*****, Magic did the step-n-fetchit.
Do ya’ll get it now? sheesh!
This is COMPLETELY viod of any principles on the part of Magic. period. I could maybe excuse it if he was an average ex ball player, looking to strike a deal to secure his future and in need of the cash, but that is HARDLY the case for Magic. He is literally ROLLING in money and not in desperate need of it at all. Magic has enough money to tell anybody where to stick it when they try to strongarm him, but he didn’t because obviously, money was more important than principle. I guess the old saying is really true–all rich people want in this world is more money.
Ya’ll need to stop saying to others in this thread “let a person vote for who they want to”, because THAT is the message that Magic and Burkle apparently missed. If they hadn’t missed it, Burkle wouldn’t have suggested who Magic should support, and Magic wouldn’t have switched allegiance for dollars.
Magic has lost all credibility in my book.
And some of ya’ll are a real trip!
Magic was PAID to say he has HIV???!!! Sorry, but that is the most RIDICULOUS and IGNORANT thing I’ve heard (and I’ve heard quite a bit). That doesn’t even sound logical. I know Black people love conspiracy theories, but come on. Let’s use our brains for once.
Didn’t Malcolm X say he preferred the KKK (which the Democrats proudly founded) than sheep in wolves clothing liberals?
I think the black men who *****asinated Malcolm X would vote for Hillary. I think this is the divide Hillary is capitalizing on. Twist it around however you want, Hillary does know how to manipulate and instigate a divide among blacks.
Hillary Clinton and her husband are evil pimps and folks just love being their hoes. Are folks so easily placated by Billary renting an office in Harlem. So what. It’s not like he bought a brownstone and moved his family there. It’s not like they ever lived among black people. Why Chapaqua and not Harlem? Answer: two-faced, hypocritical, lying, racist white liberal crap to blind their hoes to their bull—.
Obama may be running as a Democrat but he is the rebirth of the real Republican party, a Frederick Douglas for our times. The anti-slavery, pro-family unit, pro-homeownership party.
Hillary Clinto doesn’t want blacks to have solid family units, doesn’t want black childrento have two parents, and damn sure doesn’t want blacks owning a home. Then who would be the poor miserable poster children for racist white liberal “charity” government?
Diss Oprah all you want. The Clintons have never built ***** for blacks. Oprah has built homes, neighborhoods, funded and built schools. Oprah doesn’t have to vote for Hillary just cause she’s a woman, right? It’s not the same thing because Hillary is a white woman without the interests of black women at heart. When Hillary thinks woman she thinks white.
I tell you another thing: If Hillary is elected you won’t see one black face in her cabinet in a leadership position. Supporting, admnistrative but not leadership. And she damn sure would never permit a black woman to be third in line to the presidency.
See, I think Obama is very wise. He absolutely can be our next President and he is the only one capable of a bipartisan leadership.
OBAMA 2008!
sorry, wolves in sheeps clothing.
Why is this a big deal?
***Warren Buffett, Jodie Foster, Berry Gordy, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Hugh Hefner, Vernon Jordan and Tobey Maguire gave to Hillary and Barack
***Bette Middler gave to Hillary, Obama and Richardson
***Rosie O’Donnell, Barbra Streisand and Steven Spielberg gave Hillary, Obama and Edwards
Don Henley gave to Hillary and Edwards
These are just the ones that gave to one party. There are many who give to people with completely differing views.
Jodie, Barbra, Rosie, Tom and Rita gave to multiple candidates in spite of campaigning (formally or informally) for one candidate
Oh, and most of the movie execs are also guilty of this so you can’t say there is pressure to campaign for one or another
P.S.: Many of you “think” a lot of B.S. Every sane person reading this knows you’re either mental or baiting people for the sake of a reaction
I never liked Magic’s ***** anyway cause I think he is hidding his cure for AIDS. Ain’t no way possible he’s living this long with AIDS and no reports of him being sick or in the hospital. I don’t care what *****ody says. Not wishing any ill or bad on him AT ALL. I’m just saying if you know the cure give it up so that he could help save other peoples lives as well. I just have no respect for selfish ***** people like that. I had a family member die of AIDS and they caught it after Magic did.
@freshfromthestreetz
Sorry about your family member, but there are a lot of people living with HIV (he doesn’t have AIDS) for 20 plus years. I’m in the medical field, and know of numerous patients that have been HIV positive longer than Magic, and take their meds every day and have never been in the hospital for anything relating to HIV. And use your brain and think for a minute…unless Magic invented this imaginary “cure” himself, other people would know about it, right? And would that mean that the people in the clinic where I work also are “hiding” this cure?
If you really have to ask what Truth’s point is then you people have already lost the game and will continue to argue and disagree, but do nothing to uplift one another
What a stupid thread Bossip! This is really beneath you! Stick to gossip!
You all are wrong, Bossip! A ho, yes, but he’s only a sellout if he were for Romney! Not everyone has the same view or wants the person for president. Nothing wrong with Clinton!
@Happy New Year:
“How many blacks (not Arabs, Blacks) are in the National *****embly? And was that before or after the riots.”
HEY, MAN THE TRUE QUESTION IS WHAT THEY DO TO SOLVE YOUR SITUATIONS ABOUT JOBS, RACIST BEHAVIOUR IN BUSINESS, ETC.? AFTER BEING ELECTED TO TAKE CARE ONLY OF THEIR FAMILIES, MAKING THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
“If you think that Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice are symbols of virtuous racial progressive policies of the Republicans, read more alternative news.”
YOU CAN BE RIGHT. BUT MY SMALL EXPERIENCE IN POLITIC OBSERVATIONS TELLS ME THAT: HAVING SOME GUYS WELL-PLACED AT POWERFULL PLACES CAN INFLUENCE THE COUNTRY DESTINITY ABOUT THE TAKEN DECISIONS. I CAN REFER TO THE VERY POWERFULL JEWISH CORPORATION IN USA, AND OTHERS COUNTRIES AS FRANCE.
“Don’t fall into the typical French way of hatin’ on America.”
SORRY, IT IS TRUTH, AT SOME POINTS AMERICAN PEOPLE LOOK IDIOT OR VERY MANIPULATED. YOU CAN DISCUSS WITH OTHER PEOPLE FROM OTHERS COUNTRIES, IF THEY ARE COURAGEOUS THEY WILL TELL YOU SAME THING.
MY OPINION: ALL BLACKS CAN NOT BE DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS, IT WOULD BE A FATAL ERROR. THE BEST IS HAVING MORE WELL-PLACED IN DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN CAMPS. SO, THE MOST IMPORTANT IS HOW THEY ACT TO HELP THEIR COMMUNITY? IF THEY ARE INTELLIGENT,THEY WILL UNDERSTAND THAT FOR THE DECISIONS CONCERNING THEIR COMMUNITY THEY WOULD FORGET THEIR CAMPS IN FAVOUR OF THEIR COMMUNITY. THAT IS THE WAY VERY ORGANIZED AND INTELLIGENT COMMUNITY LEADERS ACT (I DONT NEED TO CITE THEM)
So if you don’t vote for Obama you’re a sell out???? Come on (and I am for Obama) maybe he agrees with her views
This rational sounds like 2+2=5 Wow, is bossip going the way of other garbage gossip sites?
@ imrightdammit
co-sign. my sister has been living with HIV for the last 14 years and remains healthy. each time the virus “unscrambles”, so to speak, the code the medicine puts on her t cells her doctor precribes another *****tail which scrambles the code once again until the virus figures it out.
@ imrightdammit
i don’t agree with you when you state that hiv patients always test negative. my understanding is it depends on the viral load. while my sister remains hiv positive, there has been times in the past her viral load was undetectable.
This country has been a corporation by the rich and for the rich since the beginning.
i have to admit that i didn’t think obama had a snow***** chance in hell in Iowa or New Hampshire. Aren’t both around 3% black? That means there are a whole lot of white people backing him
I always knew that i mean he didnt even seem comfortable supporting her. I knew he was only on for money reasons
Dalia
What the hell is wrong with you, Bossip?
Black people don’t have to automatically vote for Obama. The days of the black herd mentality are OVER.
Let Magic support who he wants to.

When Magic Backed Hillary, Did Money Buy Love?
January 1, 2008 03:45 PM
——————————————————————————–
Read More: Bill Clinton, Burkle Magic Johnson, Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund, Hillary Clinton, Magic Johnson, Magic Johnson Clintons, Ron Burkle, Breaking Politics News Politics
In late-March 2007, Earvin “Magic” Johnson made his first ever contribution to a presidential campaign — $2,300 to Barack Obama.
No formal endorsement accompanied the cash, but most political operatives thought that the famous Lakers point guard would be firmly in the corner of the first African-American to have a real shot at winning the presidency.
On August 28, Johnson made the second contribution of his life to a presidential candidate. This time, however, the recipient was Hillary Clinton. Johnson gave her $2,300 for the primary election and another $2,300 to use in the general election, if she won the Democratic nomination.
In addition, the contribution — chickenfeed to someone of Magic’s wealth — was backed up with an all-star endorsement.
After Oprah Winfrey, the richest African-American in the country, announced that she would hold a September 6 fundraiser for Obama at her Santa Barbara home, Magic countered with an offer to host a Clinton fundraiser at his Los Angeles house on September 14. As the two candidates competed for the support of black luminaries, Johnson announced that co-chairs of his Hillary event included Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, musician Quincy Jones, and music executive Clarence Avant.
“Senator Hillary Clinton understands the domestic and international issues better than anyone,” Johnson said in an August 12 press release announcing his fundraiser. “[Hillary] has the experience and knowledge to help lead our country and get us to a better place. We need a winner as our next president.”
On December 17 and 18, Magic joined Bill and Hillary for a tour of Iowa. Speaking in Davenport, Johnson infuriated Obama supporters when he told the crowd, “You don’t want somebody in there that is young or a rookie at politics” — a direct dig at Obama.
What happened between Johnson’s $2,300 contribution to Obama in March and his $4,600 donation to Clinton in August?
Over the summer, a seemingly unrelated series of events intervened.
In June, Johnson, who is an extraordinarily successful entrepreneur, began talks with billionaire Ron Burkle about forming a joint investment fund of $750 million or more to take advantage of the growing and lucrative markets in inner city and minority-owned businesses, according to Eric Holloman, president of Johnson’s Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund.
Burkle has been one of Bill Clinton’s closest friends and supporters. Burkle and Bill Clinton were often seen together in and around Los Angeles, and Clinton frequently stayed at Burkle’s mansion, which was the scene of much-reported partying. Burkle gave Bill Clinton a lucrative consulting job as a senior advisor to his investment firm, Yucaipa Companies.
When Hillary announced, Burkle became a strong backer and encouraged Johnson to support her.
Now, spokesmen for both Burkle and Johnson flatly dispute that there is any connection whatsoever between the Burkle-Magic investment partnership and Magic’s Hillary endorsement.
“There is no correlation at all between the [Johnson-Burkle] private equity fund and him backing Hillary Clinton,” said Eric Holloman. “No one has told Earvin what to do since Pat Riley [former Lakers coach]. Earvin needs no more fame, no more money.”
Frank J. Quintero, spokesman for Burkle’s Yucaipa Companies, described as “preposterous” any linkage between planning the fund and the endorsement. “Ron and Magic have been friends for a dozen years and have supported the same candidates,” Quintero said.
Johnson’s support for Hillary has been apparently unaffected by a separate development involving Bill Clinton and Burkle. In late September, well after Magic Johnson’s Hillary endorsement and fundraiser, the relationship between Burkle and Bill Clinton was reportedly severely strained by a September 26 Wall Street Journal article detailing some of controversial dealings by Burkle’s company, Yucaipa.
The WSJ story reported that a young Italian businessman had convinced Burkle and a Clinton aide to invest millions of dollars in a controversial and poorly-run venture buying up urban properties owned by the Catholic Church. Clinton, allegedly furious at Burkle, began the process of withdrawing from Yucaipa.
Why should anyone vote for a blackman who has no experience and just because he’s black doesn’t mean all “black folk” should vote for him
magic is truly just a figure head for black folks while the white people run rampant thru brooklyn buying up property and raising rents
hillary is the worst
Thank You just sit and be pretty for that information.
I am for obama because he is providing a fresh perspective on the political game and HAS ALL THE RELEVANT EXP..in that he is a lawyer, has spent time in the state and federal government.
Please, some of you need to do some research and quit just poppin off! edwards was a torte lawyer prior to his government run….and Hiliary hasn’t done much more. And another thing…JFK was young and green prior to his election. And moreover, his father virtually BOUGHT his position. So quit hating on Barack. And to whomever made some lame comment about his ancestors not being slaves is late! How many whip scars do you wear on your back???? GEESH
i don’t get the gist of this post bossip so your saying hillery payed magic for his vote and that makes him a sell out if it is ture then he is but aren’t we the ones who siad bill was the frist black president and all that glory that we gave him after the sex scandel so when this happens we are up in arms hypocrisy in the black media is overwelming it is hard to keep up but i do beleve if obama wins the image of black people will change we will hold ourselves to a higher standard than we do now
The White House reminds me of that old gangsta truce song back in the day….We’re all in the same gang. The Democrats are Crips and the Republicans are Bloods. The main objective of both parties is to satisfy the rich and keep them richer while *****in the poor at the same time. It doesn’t matter who goes into office…The objective remains the same whether it’s Dems or Republics. Keep votin suckas….LOL

I can’t lie, I won’t hate on Caligirl for that, because she is only repeating what so many our so-called black journalists have been saying about Obama from day one. He’s not black enough. He’s only half black so how can he understand what it means to be black in America? His experiences with his white mother and white grandparents in Hawaii and in Indonesia have nothing to do with being black. Well, for a growing number of biracial blacks, why wouldn’t it?
I was sceptical myself, too. Who is this Half-Kenyan to be foisted upon black folk by white? But the more I read, the more I began to understand that just as whites were enamoured of Obama, they also didn’t trust him. Most of the black journalists who put that out, did so in the service of (drum roll) the Clintons. My final straw was seeing that Ofari Earl Hutchinson dude pull the ***** and then try to big up Hillary and Bill. See, the Clintons like black folk in their place, but only in black folks ‘place’.
They’re trying to pit us against ourselves, again. Here’s an intelligent black man married to a black woman with two beautiful black daughters. The last intelligent, faithful black man married to a beautiful intelligent black woman with beautiful daughters on the mega-national scene was Malcolm. If we’re going to vote against Obama, it should be for politics, not because he’s black and we don’t trust ourselves with the highest office in the land. And sure as hell not because the Clintons are paying our own people to tell us not to.
Macho-in-paris-france, thank you for your international perspective and your wisdom.
@macho-in-paris-france:
You say that having more blacks in political places will benefit blacks, yet you don’t answer the question about the population of black elected officials to the National *****embly.
Also, again read more alternative news and learn more about the political process in America. Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell were appointed by the Bush Administration. Appointed officials carry out the wishes of the administration regardless of their color. They were not elected by the people and therefore their loyalty is to those who appointed them. Colin Powell presented before the UN the bogus case for the Iraq war and Condoleeza Rice — her incompetence in foreign affairs and inaction re: Hurricane Katrina speak for itself. And yes, America can be quite ignorant, but Europe suffers from amnesia. After Rwanda and the bombing of the airport by the French in Cote d’Ivoire, the French need to STFU and STFD. Your idealism regarding the need for elected black officials to pay attention more to their community is on point and blacks in America need to hold them accountable.
@ Dolla Bill:
I hear your truth, but not votin’ is not the answer.
This is why Black people should just go ahead and registar INDEPENDENT and get the F*** to work!!
Besides IT AIN’T ‘BOUT SKIN COLOR – IT’S ECONOMICS, ECONOMICS, ECONOMICS!!!! CRITICAL THINKING BLACK PEOPLE. WHY SHOULD MAGIC’S JOHNSON be with you black people – what’s in it for him??!! We have not really built anything Darfur is being led by mainly jewish bros & sis’, OBAMA (while a lot of his staff comes outta the
Ain’t *****ody black OR white gonna give us anything – it’s kinda what we do – which is not much, which is what we got, from not doing much – NOT MUCH
I’m glad to see that there are people who are actually thinking about the issues and not just falling in line because Obama is black. I for one am going into this 08′ election with an open mind. Right now I’m feeling what John Edwards is saying
Alot of people…Especially this clown…Will call Magic a ho, because the only thing they see is a black man running for president…Yes I support O…But he ain’t for everybody…
I think everybody already spoke for me thanks.
Why can’t he have his own opinion on who to vote for, i think Hilary is going to beat anyway, at least we know she has our best intrest;
And i don’t want him anyway especially after OPRAH endorsed him, can you just imagine the laws that will be placed, she already trying to take the word ***** from Hip Hop WHAT HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH?…….
Clinton 08′!
Obama is not ready to be in the position of most powerful man in the world. Watch his interviews and you will clearly see.
And if he thinks he is going to go to Washington and kiss Republicans into submission while singing Kumba Ya, he is in for a RUDE Awakening.
I actually like Obama but he is not ready and I think by the time people realize this, it may be too late. He conveniently has missed key votes in the Senate but criticize Clinton for her votes. I don’t like that Clinton voted for the war, but we are not at war BECAUSE of her. We are there because of Bush. Plus he leans on Clinton voting for the war more than Gulianni leans on 911. ENOUGH ALREADY! And I will boldy say that anyone who believes there is no difference between the Clintons and the Bush’s, and there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans is a FOOL! Obama is using this whole ‘change’ theme as a smoke-screen. The insinuations that if Clinton is elected, we will get another Bush is insane. Obama is “playing politics” just like the rest of them but he is trying to cover it by preaching ‘change’.
Clinton 08′!
@cat4ever
Much love to your sister and her continued good health! And an HIV test will always be positive, even if her viral load is undetectable. It’s two different tests that measure two different things. The HIV test measures the antibodies YOUR BODY MAKES IN RESPONSE TO BEING EXPOSED TO THE VIRUS. The viral load MEASURES THE ACTUAL VIRUS. The fact that it can come back “undetectable” is just the limit of our test. If we had a more sensitive test that could pick up smaller amounts of virus, the test result wouldn’t be “undetectable” anymore.
But I pray she has many decades ahead of her!
Bossip let this go! Why does it matter that Magic does not support Obama?!?!? Since Magic is black he should support Obama. Lets be honest half the people that know anything about the presidential election get second hand information. I am going to say it…most black ppl are supporting Obama just because he is black and they are black. The fact that Oprah co-signed on his campaign helped too. I do not care what race you are or your political afflication. Vote for who you want to! Vote for the candidate that holds views and beliefs that best fit you…don’t vote because they are black or white!
I was going to go off on how black people don’t owe Obama a vote and people should vote their values, not race, but it looks like enough people on here already did it. It’s good to know not everybody thinks everything is about skin color.
Oh yeah just an FYI for all the ppl getting this incorrect and making themselves look ignorant. Magic never had AIDS. He has HIV and since he has taking care of himself with a healthy diet and taking his meds he is fine! All I can say @ Nyeve is that was one of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard before in my life. HIV doesn’t have a color or a specific gender. People like you are the reason why ppl with HIV are unwilling to come out. Because ignorant ***** comments and prejudice. You so busy trying to talk about ppl that you’re part of the problem and not the solution. Check yourself first before you start calling all black men with HIV or AIDS a ho!
Micaela, good lookin’ out on the specifics. But maybe what Nyeve is tryin’ to throw out is how Magic got HIV. Would be interesting to know that on the real. Now that would really light up a meaningful discussion on bossip. And since this scourge is devestating our community, it is str8t serious. I don’t care where he puts his money cuz he a millionaire, I ain’t so I know our political views will not be the same.
i true sellout
I can’t believe that he would sell out his own people that have stood before him forever for money… specially since he claims he helps the ghetto with his venture…
its not like he is poor…
what a sell out
I hate Magic.
@ Nita- She is a woman with nothing behind her, but her husband? I guess going to Wesley and Yale law school are nothing?
Bossip is so f’in stupid! let the man vote for whomever he wants, support whomever he wants and pay pockets to whomever he wants! Get over yourself bossip! Just because MJ is black DOES NOT mean he has to support a black canidate! You all are so RACIST!
@ nita…I have respect for your opinion. I believe that you are right when you say that some are just repeating what they have heard from others. That’s too bad, rather thn just sit and blog all day abouit worthless he said she said folks should be more about true empowerment and educating THEMSELVES form primary sources!
Barack has always been different from the majority of those around him. And he has been able, inspite of defferences, to unite others. He, according to many of those around him, has always been diplomatic in his behavior towards others. Beyond that he OBVIOUSLY is a driven, focused individual that has a clear understanding of who HE IS. Being black in America is not relegated to just ONE experience. Barack has probably encountered MORE discrmination and prejudice in his lifetime than any of us. It’s not enough for us to just talk about thinking outside of the box. We actually have to DO IT!!
oops sorry for the typos:(
Bossip is SOOO NOT racist!
Bossip has not criticized Magic or anyone else for not voting for a black man, they criticized these men because their votes are bought. Bottom Line.
Hillary is not the more qualified candidate. And Hillary tries to discredit Obama based on “lack of experience” ?!!(she’s really hanging by a string if that’s all she can come up with).
If she wants to play the experience card, then she is as unqualified and one must choose one of the more EXPERIENCED Republican or other Democrat candidates.
And that’s what it’s coming down to for most people, including Republicans, Obama or one of the Republican Candidates.
What kind of idiot puts an impeached President who used an eldery black woman secretary to carry out his illegal, immoral, unfaithful, dirty, lying, filandering deeds and hook-ups back into the white house. But this is how they care for black people, use them to suit their needs. And what kind of idiot would trust his wife to run the country and she can’t even manage her own household. She supported him buying his way out of that mess that she knew about the whole time and then pretended black sungl*****es and all to be surprised and shocked so she’s a liar too.
Truth be told. A lot of black people are actually NOT voting for Obama because he is black. Just like a lot of black people won’t see a black doctor or hire a black lawyer.
Internalized racism at its worse. Black people were more supportive, encoraging, rallying, prayerful of OJ getting acquitted than Obama becoming president.
You have a whole generation of blacks told they could only be rappers producers music moguls and basketball stars. And here is a black man who has made it through with education and committment to the black community. I wish they would overcome their jealousy and honor this great candidate.
Magic and Diddy are racist because they are only supporting Hillary because she is white and to spite Obama.
Bossip is making a statement on rich blacks dependent on wealthy whites and permit their support to be bought. If they had they didn’t have a financial need and obligation to do so, then their support of Hillary would be viewed as genuine.
Listen, no one chooses a candidate because they are black. People, especially black people, choose candidates because they are white men or white women.
Obama is succeeding on sincereity, honesty (Billary wouldn’t know the truth if it spit in their face), convictions, credentials and merit. Because he is a great and courageous man, people support him (even though he is black).
OBAMA 2008!
I DONT THINK BOSSIP IS IN ANY POSITION TO JUDGE WHO IS A HO OR A SELLOUT. THE FACT THAT THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO EXPOSING OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS, SHOULD MAKE US WONDER ABOUT THEIR INTENTIONS. AS ENTERTAINING AS IT MAY BE, WE SHOULD NOT EVEN VALUE BOSSIP OPINION
Also he is voting on what best interest him. No one ever votes for who can do something for the next man. This is one of bossip most ignorant topics. Voting is always about who will do whats best for you, so if this is the case he is doing the right thing…..smart man
can’t believe u went there on MR. MAGIC JOHNSON.
He’s one of the few African-American’s that actually puts his a good % of his milliosn back into our community.
This man deserves the benefit of the doubt!
Cannot believe how many blacks on this post hate themselves. Please go see “The Great Debaters” and pay attention to the speech Denzel gives about Willie Lynch. The conviction which some of you self-hating Negroes speak is beyond comprehension. The white man(Bill and Hillary… or to some of you Mr. Charlie and Miss Ann) does not know what is best for you. If an Italian runs against a black person, who do you think the Italian is going to vote for? Same goes for any other race of people other than some of you Armstrong Williams, Uncle Ruckus types. I’m black and i’m proud but i’m am ashamed that some of you are in my race. Do us all a favor and bleach your skin and try to p*****. We don’t need you and you are useless to our cause.
The last time I checked African Americans had not quite lost the right to vote. Magic can vote however he’d like. You should do the same.
for the past 27 years there’s been a Bush or Clinton in the White House. Do the math and realize Hillary could take it over 30…and you know Jeb’s just waiting in the wings.
C’mon America, whoever you vote for, just CUT THE CORD!
Do us all a favor and bleach your skin and try to p*****. We don’t need you and you are useless to our cause.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Regardless if aids is man-made or not, the fact is this: Aids is a PREVENTABLE disease. It is a disease of lifestyle choices. All the men and women who laugh at marriage and commitment, that is what can save you if you partner is equally committed. Magic paid the ultimate price for his infidelity.
Stringer Bell and Traydayz have said all there needs to be said on this. They nailed it. Nothing else needs to be said on this.
Hey Trixie, please leave Bush out of this. We DO NOT have a Bush running this time, so let’s just deal with how long a Clinton was in office, WICH IS COUNT THEM 8 YEARS! The Clinton’s should not be lumped in with the Bush’s.
How dare bossip and anyone else who calls him a sell out. Magic Johnson is a legend. Enough about the AIDS thing. You mean to tell me just because your black you have to vote for the black person? That sounds sick. So the white people voting for Obama are the sell outs? Before you vote for president you should check out who shares the same views and morals you do, not their skin color. This is not a game. Go Lakers!
to lovely….
how the hell do you know what race people are when they post! get a life and stop judging people regardless!
tray and stringer take heed as well!
Bossip do you really believe that ALL black voters will vote for Obama?? That mentality is IGNORNANT!!! We can vote for whomever we want to vote for. If whites use your logic, then he definitely doesn’t stand a chance, since all whites will only vote for another white!!! Get your head out of your *****es!!!!
Also, with the advances of HIV and AIDS medicine and research, people with these diseases are living better lives. Just because you have been diagnosed doesn’t mean you have to look like a skinny crackhead knocking on death’s door. Would you be happier if Magic looked sick??? I don’t get the logic……
My people, my people, read a book, go back to school, learn something, do anything besides displaying your ignorance in a public forum!!!!
I think it is so stupid to expect a Black Man to vote for a Black Man solely on the basis of having the same skin color or heritage. If Magic and Puffy support Hillary I think it is more to do with her ideas and policies than some “pocket change” Both of these guys are excellent and very successful businessmen, I don’t they need the money.
iam from africa i know we have our own tribal issues, but i dont know whats wrong with african americans.they always complain of racism but when they are given the opportunity to ascend they start killing each .thats why the clintons knows how to manipulate african americans.they are ready to give out money and pretend as if they are helping but inside their mind they are saying lets use these black people till we get what we want ,and if we get it we will invite al shampton and his group to the white house in the name of helping african american.brothers and sisters you need to wake up an fight for your right.
aint that just like negroes (not black people) you can buy em and sell and sell em im surprised Hillary didnt throw in a fat blonde. im playing. i dont know who im voting for yet myself. i mean Obama was partying wit Rick James. RICK JAMES.
look i am not educatedIm just a black man from alabama.And down in alabama it is still 1932.
Iwas arrested for looking at the police serverly beat another black person thoe the guy was in hand cuffs already.
they still beat him.an all white group of men about 9 or 10 of them.before they took me to jail they told me if i dont like it go back to africa.If i ever become wealthy i am giving up my so called citizenship.i am sick and tired of being in a country where every president statisticly speaking has been a euroamerican you can check the stats and why masterclinton playing her womens card.ask her why in the womens movement in the early 1900.why women of coler had to march behind white women in the rallys “check out what im saying dont just go on my word” i do know thatwomen had it hard in history even harder than we can imagin today.the women movement in america is a must.In the Early 1900s when white women where fighting for there right to vote and won their right to vote.the white women forgot their sisters of coler,who they made march in the rear.the women of coler did not get their right to vote untill the 1960s when black men and women got the right to vote together. look only white people have the luxry to vote for people acording to theirpolitics.stop being stupid they got so many people to choose from on the democratic side an the republican side. I am not voting for Euro americans any more untill the day comes untill a person of coler get a chance. and they dont have to be black they can be native american mexicanamerican it dont mater Im just tired of seeing white presidents male or female.and to the wolves in sheep cloths asking is obama black enough. in the south whites say evan if you can p***** for white if you got one drop of black in you you are a *****.obama father is an african period obama is an american citizen period.so that makes obama a colerd man or african american man.and it does not matter what they call us all im saying he would not be able to eat in the white restaurants in arkasas whith mrs. clinton during jim crow now do you think heisblack enough.I know im black enough and my father was not born in africa.
Does anyone know what MAGIC means?
My-*****-Got-Infected-Coach!
That’s right Magic, rack them haters up and get paid.. bunch of broke ***** *****s having an opinon.. LMAO.
