Ludacris and His Big Mouth
Posted by Bossip Staff
Ludacris has received some heavy criticism over the lyrics of his new political track, “Politics: Obama is Here.” Unfortunately, Obama is catching some heat in the process:
Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama has condemned an endorsement song from Ludacris, in which the Atlanta MC criticizes rivals Hillary Clinton and John McCain.
The song “Politics: Obama Is Here” contains celebratory bars on Obama’s success (“The first is destined and it’s meant to be”), but turns venomous when Obama’s rivals are addressed.
Ludacris references the bitter Democratic primary battle by stating “Hillary hated on you/So that b**ch is irrelevant.”
Regarding Republican nominee John McCain, the rapper rhymes:
“McCain don’t belong in ANY chair unless he’s paralyzed/ Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped/ Ball up all of his speeches and I throw ‘em like candy wrap.”
Through his campaign team, Senator Obama released a statement condemning the song as offensive and typical of much of Hip-Hop’s current lyrical content. “As Barack Obama has said many, many times in the past, rap lyrics today too often perpetuate misogyny, materialism, and degrading images that he doesn’t want his daughters or any children exposed to,” explained spokesman Bill Burton. “This song is not only outrageously offensive to Senator Clinton, Reverend Jackson, Senator McCain, and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics.”
The rap has also drawn the wrath of WomenCount, a new organization co-founded by former Rock The Vote President/political commentator Jehmu Greene.
“It is another example of hateful, sexist language being used on the campaign trail, and now is our moment to make it clear: not on our watch!” stated Rosemary Camposano, Communications Director, WomenCount PAC. “The leadership of both parties must step up to condemn such hateful speech and demand apologies. The Obama campaign has criticized the lyrics, but we call on the presumptive party nominee, who is the celebrated subject of the new song, to go even further: Publicly condemn the song. Demand an apology on behalf of the targets. Now.”
Given Obama’s ethics and integrity, this was not a smart move on Ludacris’ behalf, but we’re sure our man Barack will be able to weather the storm.

luda is a dumb as punk!
22nd!
Dayum, Luda!
LUDACRIS IS AN *****HOLE…HE HAS NO RIGHT TO DISRESPECT THAT WOMAN LIKE THAT, AND HE DOES NOT STOP WITH HILLARY HE USES IT ON BLACK WOMEN ALSO, HE’S A FOOL, A *****, I’M SO SICK OF THESE MEN WHO THINK THEY CAN DISRESPECT WOMEN.
AND IF BARACK WASN’T RUNNING WE WOULD ALL BE VOTING FOR HILLARY, I REMEMBER WHEN BLACKS LOVED HER, IT’S A COMPETITIVE GAME WHY HATE.
AUNTIE?!!! *CHECKIN AROUND…KNOWING SHE IS ON HER WAY*
WHAT UP EVERYBODY?
Though the song is true many rappers and people who speak out to the media have to be careful with their words, but rap is free speech. It was a smart move for Obama to condemn it because he’s not about this he’s more about change. I do agree with Luda’s rhyme though, but maybe he should’ve kept that on like an underground type thing.
AND WHAT HE SAID ABOUT MCCAIN IS WRONG ALSO, LUDACRIS BETTER BE CAREFUL HE MIGHT EAT THOSE WORDS..
Not a good look but FUN-TY as hell
Lady A….
You know Obama got it in his MP3 bangin’ it…like..
“YEah *nodding head* eff Hil…JM suck my d*ck”..
So why is bossip blockin some of my post…
OBAMA IS RIGHT…LUDA WENT A BIT TOO FAR…
dag luda…why you Barak-blockin?
why should obama have to make any comments in relation to a random rap song that happens to involve him??? just because we’re black we all know each other and we’re all in cahoots???
if he says anything he should say – “it’s america, we have freedom of speech. i don particularly like the song, but it’s not like i wrote it!”
this is racism. did mccain make a statement about the curious george/obama shirts? no- because he had nothing to do with it!
You know Obama got it in his MP3 bangin’ it…like..
“YEah *nodding head* eff Hil…JM suck my d*ck”..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HAHAHAHAH Nik…OMG!!!!
MONIN BOSSIP FOLK!!!
Lady A…I’m lovin that pic young lady….NU we in hurrrr!!!…Just..**dapz**
I love me some black people, but I hates me some NI##ERS! luda, you’s a NI##ER, for real.. Why you gonna wear some sh#t like dat to meet Barack…
Grow your stupit a$$ up and STFU you clown. Barack doen’t need your stupid a$$ song to help him. He is something you will never be, “EDUCATED”.
Educated: Knowing when to STFU..!!
:-/
LUDA WAS STR8 UP STOOPID FOR THIS SONG AND YALL KNOW IT!!!
Hiya WYZE!!!! *wavin*
Whewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…
Now that that’s off my chest….
W*****ssssssssssssss Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup….
MORNING BOSSIP FOLK!!
LUDA IS SHORT AS HELL TOO WITH ALL THAT MOUTH
@ Ermy Erm(Check me out!)
LUDA WAS STR8 UP STOOPID FOR THIS SONG AND YALL KNOW IT!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COSIGN…
Dat lil hatched head, slant eyed, 89% albino lookin MF…
Somebody need to whoop his monkey a$$…
I’m so ashamed of Luda on da realz though, he know better. We are trying to show the world we are NOT ignorant, and he just perpetuating it. It’s fine to have an opinion, but he shoulda kept it to himself instead of disparaging other ppl.
Damn Luda…almost had some respect for him….Big Boi’s song is much better….
i’m very surprised at luda. i thought he was becoming way more mature. same old, same old.
Erm…much luv…how are you today
When I first heard that song I knew it wasn’t going to be helpful at all. Someone in his circle should have known better. First, he should have been thinking commercially and especially since he was endorsed by Obama. He should have not used any cursing at all nor should he have disparaged Hillary. Though she caused a lot of bad blood during the primary, she’s endorsed Obama and has helped raised millions for his run–so she’s on our side now.
Politics is touchy at the moment. Though the song itself is soft in hip hop terms its still hard edge in the mainstream world. Luda should come out against his own song and claim that he actually recorded it during the primaries and doesn’t harbor any ill feelings towards Clinton.
He should also acknowledge McCain’s war hero status–before ripping into his wack policies. Just my political 2 cents.
IJM!! JUST SAYIN!! NIKKSTER!!
My coworker had just walked in and told me about this because I hadnt heard about it, and my whole opinion of Luda has changed. It’s just so danggone disrespectful to Barack
IJM….morning
I’m good Wyze, waiting for my work day to be ova quick fast and in a hurry
Isn’t there a saying that goes:
You can take the nicca out da hood, but he still a nicca.
You know Obama got it in his MP3 bangin’ it…like..
“YEah *nodding head* eff Hil…JM suck my d*ck”..
LMAO!!!!! Cosign 100%

———————————————–
i agree 100%. while i value the freedom of speech and think that censorship = death. he should know that what he says might jepardize obamas campaign since all the haters just looking for a reason to start some b.s.
We don’t need white folks to try to break Obama down. We are doing a fine job at doing it ourselves! If Luda wanted to make a political statement in a song, he should have showed some cl***** about it. Maybe Nas could him to write the next one.
No no no Bossip, Obama likes that song, he rocks it in his ride from time to time…he just can’t let ppl know….
…just kiddin’. But isn’t that was artists do, express their opinions? Why must Obama be underfire for this anyway? Did he call Luda and ask him to write this track?
Luda REALLY should have put more thought into his lyrics…he could’ve gotten his message across without being so disrespectful. and he ought to know Obama doesn’t stoop to the level of disrepecting folk…
This has been my fear since Barack started running…I KNEW they would look at everything every black man does from that point till the election to try and squeeze Obama for responsibility….and this goes to show that ones actions affects others even if you are not directly connected to those actions…every time a black man does something stupid they lean over to Obama and ask what’s up with your people?…..it makes them question whether or not they trust one of us to lead…which is all bull*****…but it is what it is….that’s why I try to represent on a whole ova notha….cause I know for every body that gets whatever impression i’m trying to put out….they understand that I cant be the only one that stand walk talk and act like a real man…..black people rise up…get some pride….handle your business …and lets make these moves…to hell with stayin low ..keepin it real….bein hood …and holdin it down…..up up up..let’s do this!!!
Re….morning!!
rich ppl just donate money and smile! stop messing it up for the brother! you mean well but they cant see that! http://www.girlfriendchurch.com
ERm…What it do what the business is?
Mr. Pro…you already know….
IJM…I HATE YOU
Re….He did…he was like…
“Luda…Chris what up Boi? Ay I need you to come back in the game man…go hard on them hoes….and rock a Ben Franklin tee in our photo op”….
Erm …yeah me too….2maree is payday
I wish people shut the hell up already and let this man get into office and THEN they can run they mouth. Some people are so ignorant to the fact that less is more, Obama don’t need you to speak on his behave if it’s going to negatively impact him or his opponents. They are looking for anything to block Obama from office and these idiots are making it easier for them to do it.
Wyzepro….goodmornin! One more day til Firday…
Nikki…lol, you’re silly!
By the way, gotta retract my statement above, I didn’t realize they’ve met before…
Mr. Pro…
Let me hold..and keep $17.38.
its just politics…that’s obama’s jam… he and luda were most likely laughing it up over the song while sippin on rum and *****e but we understand obama ::wink, wink::
i think these artist/rappers is taking this election for a joke – its the frist black man who might or might not become the president of america – and some people is taking way too far – its like a circus the way they are going about campaigning for obama – its just negeative energy comming from all across the board
Why does Obama has to be held responsible for what LUDACRIS said??? It’s freedom of speech. Come on!
So, Patrick Schwayze (or however this guy’s name is spelled) should be underfire because a bunch of rappers love referencing him in their music? I know Obama is a presidential candidate, so it’s on another level, but this is unessecary. Obama should NOT be *****ociated with everyone who speaks his name.
Unecessary, spell check.
Ludacris should know better..this is the only country where a black man is HELD responsible for another persons statements/actions/views..i am glad Obama addressed it, but with today’s media, he didn’t have much option! *****ers!
Thank You Bossip, for placing this info on the site. After I saw the foolishness on CNN last nite, I rushed to my computer to see if you guys had anything posted about this idiot azzhole Luda!!! I was rivid at this punk showing his ignorance and placing this garbage for the world to see. I was totally embarr*****ed and outraged!!! I only had to wonder if Luda is a sellout or Uncle Tom to put Obama in a situation such as this. Whatever he feels about the others he mentioned, could have waited until this election was over. Just like a typical loud mouth black person….always running their damn mouth at the f’g time!!!!!!!!!! If Obama loses this election, trust me….I’m placing some of the blame on this trick azz Ludacris!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know what or when it will happen, but my gut is telling me there is gonna be an uprising and not a good one. All these ppl with negative remarks just need to sit back and let it do what it do.
When its your time to speak, do it with a vote. I mean free speech is cool, but be wise when you speak in a public arena where someone else can be disparaged for your remarks. Stop perpetuating the ignorance that so many ppl already think runs rampant in the black community. Show how educated and how far we have come as a society by respecting each other. Respect begets respect. Do unto others.
Now yall know if a white guy wrote a song about Obama ppl would be all up in arms and Luda probably would be the first one to be like OH HELL NA!
I find it ironic that his name describes his behavior…smh…Se la gare
This track was ment for RAP/HIP HOP fans. We understand lyrical imagery and can see meaning behind some lyrics. Exposing this to the world was a mistake cuz people gonna hate on this record.
NU….all i got is twenties….bring my change back
I think Obama is under fire for this because he was quoted in Rolling Stone Magazine as saying that Luda was a great talent.
Whether we agree or disagree with Luda, he has a right to express himself.
Besides, I’ve heard worse comments about Hillary Clinton on this site than luda’s lyrics. Let’s take a look at the archives and see some of our very own saying even worse about Clinton and McCain.
As I’ve said before: Obama supporters will cost him the election before his non-supporters will.
Obama is held responsible because just like Wyze said………
I KNEW they would look at everything every black man does from that point till the election to try and squeeze Obama for responsibility….and this goes to show that ones actions affects others even if you are not directly connected to those actions…every time a black man does something stupid they lean over to Obama and ask what’s up with your people?…..it makes them question whether or not they trust one of us to lead…which is all bull*****…but it is what it is….that’s why I try to represent on a whole ova notha….cause I know for every body that gets whatever impression i’m trying to put out….they understand that I cant be the only one that stand walk talk and act like a real man…..black people rise up…get some pride….handle your business …and lets make these moves…let’s do this!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
100% co sign Wyze
Obama is being held responsible by others because we live in a F’d up society as well
-Did anybody watch the Larry King Live show last night??
AS BAD AS GEORGE BUSH MIGHT BE , HE’S THE ONLY PRESIDENT THAT GAVE ME $500 WHEN HE WAS ELECTED AND I JUST GOT ANOTHER $600 WITH THAT STIMULUS MONEY NOW THAT HE’S LEAVING.LOL AND HE WAS THE ONLY PRESIDENT THAT HAD BLACKS IN HIS OFFICE, CONDI RICE…………..BUSH IS NOT SMART BUT AT LEAST I GOT SOME MONEY OUT OF HIM.. LOL
Mr. Pro….
Meet me on Stokes Ave. Thats halfway right? Oooohh better yet Cedar in Chagrin….
Thanks Wyzepro for the compliment.
I think the problem with what Luda said was for one it was very offensive and for Obama to have been seen with Luda and saying he likes Luda then yes they will *****ociate Luda with Obama saying is this what Obama really thinks when its not. If someone like Common, Blakthought, Talib, Mos Def, or even Nas did a similar song with the same subject line it would have been completey non offensive, stating facts or smart opinions rather than emotions, and *****ody would’ve had a problem. Luda’s delivery of this song was terrible with all the cursing and things. Perfect example of why they criticize hip hop so much today. I wish public enemy would come do a rhyme.
Damn, Luda, you think so SMALL.
you just gave Bill O’Reilly all the ammo he needs to show everyone how ignorant you are on his stupid show.
good job, jack*****

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@dubya…..that may be true, but BOSSIPERS are not recording artists and nothing we said is being put under Media scrutiny. Free speech is a beautiful thing, but when it hinders the very one you are *trying* to support it backfires.
Luda should have kept that on the inner brain tip or amongst friends, but no, he had to put it out for the m*****es to hear. Obama probably at home like damn ppl! Let it do what it do! STOP TRYING TO HELP ME! LOL
WHILE LUDA SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY CAREFUL AT THIS POINT IN TIME ESPECIALLY REGARDING HIS LYRICS, THE MEDIA/POLITICIANS AND WHOEVER ELSE, WILL STRIVE TO GIVE OBAMA A HARD TIME ABOUT ANYTHING THEY CAN. UNFORTUNATELY, LUDA IS THE ***** IN THIS PARTICULAR GAME THIS TIME. IT JUST PROVES THE COUNTRY THAT WE LIVE IN STILL HAS ITS GLITCHES. LUDACRIS IS HIS OWN MAN, OBAMA IS IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT LUDA CHOOSES TO SAY. OBAMA DIDNT HOLD LUDA DOWN WITH A BUTTER KNIFE AND TELL LUDA TO CALL HILLARY A *****. IT’S JUST THAT AT THIS CRITICAL STATE, WITH A BLACK MAN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, AND HAVING GOTTEN THIS FAR WITH SOOOOOOOOO MANY SUPPORTERS, THEY WILL TRY TO THROW NEGATIVE LIGHT ON HIM ANY WAY THEY CAN.
IJM, Just Sayin’….
Goodmorning!
Freedom of expression is just that–a FREEDOM. Just because Obama is running a campaign does not negate that.
While you all are going to bat for Obama, when has he gone to bat for you. By you I mean us, African Americans. He has 95% of our vote but we are the only group he has yet to cater to. He can give speeches in countries that can’t even vote, but he can’t take out time to speak at a state of the black union address. He’s made specific and unique promises to Hispanics, Gays, Jews, Working Cl***** whites where are ours? There are unique issues that we as african americans should hold obama to.
it’s time me and my brothers put an end to this perpetual adolesence we seem to be stuck in….aka Grow up and be a Man!! let’s put a lot of the childish foolishness behind us and set a new standard….
HEY RE, BREE, WYZEPRO, NU (I TOLD YOU), ERMY, JUST SAYIN’

Triple co-sign to both of your words of wisdom.
This isn’t a game. This isn’t a fantasy. This is real. As for someone in Luda’s circle knowing better… all I gotta say is, it depends on who’s in his circle. Ahem.
What up SxyQ
Ermy Erm:
This is a public blog and could very well be used as an example of how black people think. I’ve seen bossip mentioned on right-wing blogs often when they discuss the black mindset when it comes to this election.
Wuttup IJM!!!
I’m gonna sum a few things up for those that don’t know, for those that know, yal can take a smoke break for somethin…
It’s just like when you were a child and went out with your parents to the store.
What did they say? Huh… Yal know what I’m talkin about!
When we get out here don’t be showin your *****, and you better act like you got some dam sense! You hear me… If not when we get home I gonna whip yo *****.. Now lets go…
It’s the same thing here. Barak is representin us, leading da way like a parent. He don’t need no nappy headed piccaninnie, so called rapper showin his a$$ while we out in public.
Believe me when I tell you that we are in public, the whole world is lookin to us to slay da dragon. They know our history and our struggle even if they don’t want to acknowledge it.
The Black Woman and Black Man are the most powerful, envied and feared people on the face of the earth!
Who said the words Free Speach? FREE SPEACH..!
Free speech my black s$$. It’s free is you not livin from paycheck to paycheck, it’s free when you makin da laws, it’s free when we make it free.
The problem is to many people are too dam stupid to realize it.
If you think there is free speech then go into your bosses office and tell him what you really think of him. You don’t even have to be angry or yellin. When you finish talkin you will see how much it will COST you for your free speech!
Go to the drug dealer standing on the corner and tell him to stop sellin drugs in your hood. See how much it will COST you for your free speech.
Speech ain’t even free if you are talkin to yourself and then it can still COST you. People will think yo a$$ is crazy.
THINK… Back in da day you could be the richest black person in the world, but you better not try to stay at a white’s only hotel… You’d get the ole, “Your money isn’t any good here”.
Free Speech can’t be purchased, it can’t be won, you can’t steal it and no one will give it to you.
The price of Free Speech is “Respect and Power”.
Could be @ dubya
My question is why are the *****ociating everything with Obama? I mean the song was written and made by Chris Bridges. Obama wasn’t in the studio laying stuff down on the track. Obama doesn’t seem to have any dirt they can dig up on him so unfortunately for him it seems like guilt by *****ociation. The quickest way to bring yourself down is the have people who support you do it for you. Just shut up and let this all play out. Obama got this….he don’t need our “help”.
Hell…there are plenty of us angry for the way the media is hating on Obama and some of the foul BS they allow to come out of there mouths…we sit and look and go what the F!!! But let’s not give the media and any other Obama haters the reason to throw this man under the bus!! At the end of the day, Luda one would think is a person who should know better!!! His dumb azz is in the SOUTH and if he lives on another planet or something hasn’t his retarded azz not seen how much our race has had to overcome and still overcome to even be considered a Man or a Woman!! We are always having to prove ourselves in one arena or another in this is no different. It is what it is and Luda was wrong!!!!
Just because we are not famous does not mean that our words do not hold weight. This may be just a blog but you better believe that McCain, Clinton, and Obama handlers scour these blogs to get a glimpse into the view of the black mindset.

@IM JUST ME
HEY MOMMA!!! THEY ROASTIN OUR MAN
Yep could be @ dubya
HEY JUST SAYIN!!
Dubya they problem that they would have using this site is that they don’t know accurately who’s black and who’s white. They can only *****ume based on pictures that may not even be of the person behind the screen. Trust their are kkk blog sites that talk about when they wanna kill blacks, gay websites that hate straight people and straight websites that commint hate crimes against gays. Who wants to really take the time to detect servers?
WOW THOSE PEOPLE MITE TURN AROUND AND VOTE FOR,THAT OTHER CAT BECAUSE, HE MADE THEM EVEN
MORE SCARED,,HOPE WE DONT GET THE SHOCK OF OUR LIVES,,AND SAD THING ABOUT IT IS THE BOTTOM LINE IS THEY DONT WONT A BLACK MAN IN THERE IN THE FIRST
PLACE,,WHERE I LIVE YOU SHOULD SEE THE LOOK’S I GET EVEYTIME THEY SEE A BLACK FACE THEY THINK OF HIM BECOMEING PRESEDENT,,BUT THEN AGAIN THERE IS ALOT THAT DO WONT HIM LUDA,,,,NO MAN NO..NOT THE WAY TO GO,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
i disagree…..this blog while black oriented…does not PROVE that the posters/commenters are of african decent..hell I see people frontin in here all the time that are NOT black….so you can NOT take a few post from a site just cause it’s geared towards african americans and say that may represent how most or even some of them think…of all the millions of Black people in the world…bossip sure only has a few ..and they represent themselves and their own thoughts…hell half of us joke and dont take most of this serious…so I cant understand that any more than I would take a news reporters story and translate that into that must be how all white people think….kinda ludacris…aint it?…( pun intended)

Freedom of expression is just that–a FREEDOM. Just because Obama is running a campaign does not negate that.===================
And Barack has the freedom NOT to *****ociate himself with speech which is ultimately detrimental to the Bigger Picture. Barack did Luda a service, he big upped him. I understand what Luda was trying to do, he was trying to compliment him, rap style, because Luda was proud of Barack name-checking him as one of his favorite rappers to the world. But Luda had to up his game specifically because of that.
Luda could not claim on his song that he’s Barack’s favorite rapper — Luda could not name the song after Barack himself — and then talk sh*t about how Hillary is a b*tch and John McCain needs to be paralyzed. This is the time for some ‘backpack’ rap or definitely some ‘conscious’ rap. He has to look out for Barack as well as himself.
@ Ermy Erm, I hear you.
@ Ddub, you wrote, “Luda should come out against his own song and claim that he actually recorded it during the primaries and doesn’t harbor any ill feelings towards Clinton.
He should also acknowledge McCain’s war hero status–before ripping into his wack policies. Just my political 2 cents.”
I hear you on that, too. That might not be a bad idea on how to finesse this issue so that it doesn’t continue to hurt Barack and it doesn’t hurt Ludacris. Or something similar to it without lying about when he wrote it.

Just Sayin,
I like the way you put that.
G’Morning IJM!
JUST SAYIN blogger you just summed everything up in your post at 9:15!!! some of us just don’t get it and it saddens me as a black person!! Also, TOTALLY agree with what you said about “I love me some black people but I hate me some *****s” A friend and I have this discussion all the time about prejudice towards our race because of the ignorant foolish acts they pull like crackheads!!

I feel like p*****ing da plate after that one…
But it’s a black website and touts itself as such. Regardless of the color of the posters, the image of bossip is black and it will be treated as such when it comes to handlers wanting a glimpse into the black mindset.
By the way–I really like your new avatar! You look great!
Luda is right, F that B Hilary. I am glad she is fading into the background where she belongs. *****ody wants you or your husband in office anymore, they are DIRTY. McCain LOL. I can do nothing but laugh at him, he is the republicans chance, that is just pitiful which is exactly the state of there party. Republicans we are through with you and your party is also. Obama had to say this or else he would loose votes.
I BELIEVE THAT LUDA HAD THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT HE CHOSE TO SAY, AS DOES EVERYONE ELSE. HOWEVER, IT WAS THE TIMING IN WHICH HE CHOSE TO SAY IT, THAT CAUSED THE REAL ISSUE. YOU SEE WE STAND BEHIND INDIVIDUALS WHEN THEY SAY WHAT WE WISH WE COULD SAY OPENLY. BUT DO TO THE FACT THAT WE DO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE THEY DO NOT WISH TO SEE A BLACK MAN RUNNING IT, ANYTHING *****OCIATED WITH HIS BLACKNESS, COULD THROW HEAT ON HIM. THATS JUST HOW THEY PLAY. I’M SURE LUDA DIDNT THINK THAT IT WOULD DO MAJOR DAMAGE, HENCE THE REASON WHY WE MUST THINK BEFORE WE SPEAK. BUT HOW MANY TIMES HAVE SOME OF YOU SAID SOMETHING, AND THAT ONE SENTENCE CAUSED A RAWKUS OF CONFUSION, AND THEN YOU WISH YOU COULD REEL IT BACK? NOT BECAUSE YOU DIDNT MEAN IT, BUT BECAUSE IT WAS 1) BAD TIMING OR 2) THE CAUSE OF CONFUSION AT THAT TIME. ALL LUDA DID WAS SAY WHAT ALOT OF YOU WERE THINKING, AND SAYING IN YOUR VERY OWN HOMES. HE JUST PICKED BAD TIMING..(CONSIDERING THE POSITION HE HOLDS, AND BEING ABLE TO VOICE HIS OPINION TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN VIA THE HIP HOP M*****ES) IF A WHITE PERSON WHOULD HAVE DONE IT, CALLED HILLARY A *****, THEY WOULDNT BE POINTING AT OBAMA. THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE FOUND IT COMICAL.
Just Sayin….zactly ..well said…mind ya manners and ya p’s and q’s…..which by the way stands for pints and quarts…used by irish/scottish/english bar keeps when the drinking crowd got a lil rowdy they would often yell okay every body mind your pints and quarts..obvious drinking measures…which over the years has been shortened to p’s and q’s and means nothing of the sort….just some random knowledge to move the day along and show that we know a lil something… V dueces V

Oh now everyone’s ganging up on luda. He was just saying the same ***** that most of the retards including the bossip staff say on here on the regular. I wonder what Barack would have to say about the brainless posts and comments left on this site.
His intentions were good, but he gets a C for effort. I think its important that many of todays artist take an active role in politics, to show their support and help make a difference in the country. However, after the whole Jeremiah Wright thing, he should’ve known better. Please wait until the man gets in office before we start blasting his opponents because he will be the one held most accountable for other people’s actions. It only hurts his campaign. Its just common sense.
Nita:
Did I say to the contrary? No, I did not. Of course Obama has the right to break ties. I personally would if his words might hinder my campaign but Luda has an equal right to express himself and should not censor himself for the sake of a political election.
Obama is getting flack because he recently named Luda as an great artist.
LOL Wyze…. that was cute…thank you for that lesson
I am sure Luda’s intensions were in the best interest of Obama…he was showing him some support; but ironically it was opposite of that!
You have to understand that these people are looking for even specks of dust to put on Obama since they can’t find any dirt! so you have to be careful in what you do and say…
Obviously Obama doesn’t have to do anything for them to get at him… his supporters are the ones who ***** up…SMH
Why, Luda, WHY?!
@YOU *&%#’S TO LAZY TO MAKE UP ISSHH THEY CRAZY, THEY DONT PAINT PICTURES THEY JUST TRACE ME(sxyQblondie)
anyone typing in ALL CAPS is automatically an idiot.
I read your post…. and it is confirmed. you are an idiot.
Learn the rules before you comment on the game. Polls are too close for undisciplined retards to monkey it up.
there is no certain way to capsulize the black experience..cnn couldn’t do it in two days…roots could not do it in two weeks bet has never been able to do it…we are too vast and great to section off into compact lil descriptions and every time someone tries to define us we refine and redefine….then do it again…..rinse..repeat…so no…bossip doesn’t even come close to reppin the people…they rep the kind of people that Bossip are and that’s all…makes sense doesn’t it?
Man yall are a bunch of hypocritical people. Whatever Luda said, y’all were all yelling the same thing. Read the Hillary or McCain posts. Ludacris is not a politician, he’s a rapper and can say whatever the heck he wants. Plenty of people were defending Lil Wayne (not all of you, but some posters who are now saying how messed up Luda is did agree) when he talked rowdy about Jesse. So what’s the damn difference. I agree with whoever said Barack did not have to comment. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. That’s what you get when you want rappers to be our leaders. The don’t know much just speak from feelings, and that’s their right. We did not elect them and should not hold them accountable for the personal viewpoints. Now I could see if Obama had this song as his anthem at his rally’s but he doesn’t. So stop buying into the propoganda people. Damn.
The very notion that we are discussing this is ridiculous. Saturday Night Live does “political skits” repeatedly and I’ve never heard one politician questioned about it.
All of the “political pundits” out there and they don’t have to “denounce” any of it. What media oultet “reported” this as a “news story?”

Hi. I clicked on your ‘check me out’ to score your post with a 5, but it won’t let me. Is anyone else having this problem?
@jjj-
Yeah, the supporters have not been helpful to ANY of the candidates during this process. Everyone is coming out “speaking their minds” and getting their candidate in trouble.
Can they PLLLLEEEESSSSEEEE
NIKKI,
I’m here as you correctly predicted, and when I heard this last night, I was shocked at my boo-boo Luda. I wish he had been more tactful in his verses. He does have the right to say what he wants to say, and Obama has the right not to co-sign.
Luda can ALWAYS still get it though…
Hi sxyQblondie!!
@Just Sayin
Believe me when I tell you that we are in public, the whole world is lookin to us to slay da dragon. They know our history and our struggle even if they don’t want to acknowledge it.

Hi, Lou. The difference is that:
a) Jesse was a hypocrite who talked b.s. about burying the n-word, and extorting good money out of people for uttering the word — then turning around and using it against Barack when he thought no one was listening (while stupid *ss Julian Bonds just nodded his head);
b) Jesse did not big up Weezy by claiming that Weezy was on his iPod.
c) Weezy wasn’t attempting to big-up Jesse and boost Jesse up; Weezy was condemning Jesse.
Meanwhile,
a) Obama is trying to run a ‘different’ campaign, and called out blacks as well as whites in his famous speech on race this past spring,
b) Obama big upped Luda (among a couple others) by saying Luda was on his iPod and that he liked Luda’s music
c) Luda was trying to prop Obama up, street style. Obama is not trying to be president of the Streets, though, and if he were, he’d end up just like Dave Chappelle’s Wall-Street-to-Bum-on-the-Street character in that infamous ‘when keeping it real goes wrong’ sketch.
Luda should have handled the song differently. This is a learning experience. That’s all.
@SHARPTONS PERM…WOWWWWW
AND HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH THE BULL ISH EARLY IN THE A.M…….
AS THIS IS A BLOG, AND EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION, AND FREE TO STATE SUCH. JUST AS I HAVE DONE, AND INTEND TO CONTINUE DOING. WHAT HUMORS ME IN YOUR RESPONSE TO MY COMMENT IS THE FACT THAT YOU DID NOT COME AT ME “INTELLIGENTLY” WITH ANY POINTS TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIM OF NOT AGREEING WITH ME. NO. YOU CHOSE NAME CALLING AND ADDRESSING THE FACT THAT I TYPE IN CAPS. HMMMMMMMM. *****UMING THAT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO SUPPORT AN ARGUMENT THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY DO NOT HAVE, THEN THERE IS NO NEED FOR ME TO GO BACK AND FORTH WITH YOU. CALL ME THE IDIOT, BUT YOU LACK ANYTHING WITTY TO SAY YOURSELF THERE BUDDY. HA HAA, SHARPTONS PERM HUH? I DIGRESS.
@ SxyQ
They need to roast him. He isn’t on his A-game right now. He should have known better. You ain’t give him none this week? He got some of that ABM/ AGNIAM Syndrome happening. Maybe he needs some quality time with you. I am out of the count this week.
this is what you call a Good Deed, Gone Wrong… Im sure Luda meant well, but sometimes we should Think EXTRA HARD before we speak!!!
Politics is all about public relations, and Luda knows full well the power of PR. SHoot, have you ever seen him do a “Stay in school” Public Service Announcement? It would hurt his image, would he ever come out and say Hip Hop is unfair to women and gays, it would hurt his stature as a hip-hop artist.
With that being said he knew exactly what he was doing, a J. Wright move. Please black celebrities, if you’re checking this blog, don’t represent for Obama unless you plan to say something intelligent and do it articulately…(Beyowulf, Weezy, MJB, Flava Flav et al.)
@IM JUST ME
GIRL, HE RUNNING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, I CANT CATCH UP WITH HIM. HE TOLD ME HE LOVES US BOTH, BUT HIS TIME IS OFF. IF I COULD JUST GET HIM TO SIT DOWN AND RELAX. GIVE ME SOME TIPS GIRL, IM RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS!!(lol)
I dont think saturday night live ( which is obviously farce and comedy) has anything to do with affecting obama one way or the other as on a whole we’ve come to expect that from them….not to mention that they are not owned and run by black people…so they have nothing to do with the conversation…Luda is a black man…obviously ( as seen in the pic of them smiling) has a “RELATIONSHIP” with the man of some sort….and his song is not comedy….it’s one thing and not the other….if we are all running the same race for the same team..why would you trip me?…THAT is what we are all saying…nothing more…Luda is a very public figure and to be honest…the white candidates do the exact same distancing/denouncing act when one of their people eff up and come out of pocket…you sayin Barack cant do what they do?
@SHARPTONS PERM
ONE OTHER THING BEFORE I CHOOSE TO MOVE ALONG, IN REGARDS TO YOUR COMMENT…
Polls are too close for undisciplined retards to monkey it up.
IF YOU WOULD HAVE READ MY COMMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE REALIZED THAT IN SO MANY WORDS I WAS SAYING THE SAME THING. HE SAID IT AT THE WRONG TIME, WITH OBAMA BEING THIS CLOSE. SO BEFORE I LEARN THE SO CALLED “RULES” PERHAPS YOU SHOULD LEARN THE ART OF “COMPREHENSION” BEFORE ADDRESSING ANY OF MY COMMENTS.
THANK YOU
@ SxyQ
Do the appetizer with you as the main course. Run to his hotel in the trenchcoat girl. Something because he is putting a whole lotta foot in his mouth now and I love him and we cannot be representing a foolish man. So i will lure him to the east coast and send you his info….you pounce from there, okay?
BILL O’RILEY WILL HAVE A FIELD DAY WITH THIS ONE…I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH WHAT LUDA SAID IT’S JUST THE TIMING IS WRONG.
@IM JUST ME
OKAY MOMMA, I GOT YOU. IF ALL ELSE FAILS, I’LL BLACKMAIL HIM WITH THESE PHOTOS THAT I HAVE, HE KNOWS WHAT ITS ABOUT!!!(LMAO)

@ meleemel
Thanks…
I traveled to Mexico city and was amazed at how much they love BLACK people. They know our struggle and everything we went through to be where we are today. We just have to continue to educate, protect and nurture our youth.
Most of all we have to re-establish our roots and keep Black Mothers and Fathers at home being role models.
Things we need to bring back:
Prayer in the Home
( This is were everything starts, if I can’t find a Bible within 5 minutes of entering your front door then something wrong )
Attending Church on Sunday
( No explanation needed )
Self Discipline
( We now what we need to do, we just need to do it )
Doing something KIND for someone we don’t know
( It gives your life more purpose and makes your rest so much sweeter )
Telling people we LOVE them
( This is why our young people turn to da dragon, they want to be loved )
Caring for our elderly ( invite them over for a meal or just to talk )
Sticking together ( ask your neighbor if they need anything from the store, cut their gr***** while doing your own )
( the next time it snows in your area, look out our window and see how many people just shovel their own part of the sidewalk )
Family dinners every day of the week.
( I don’t care if you are just eating corn flakes, we gonna be some corn flake eat together people )
Family outtings
( Get on the bus (drive) and go to the park, you don’t need much (a blanket, some water, book, bat and ball, snack )
Reading Stories to Children
( They will love you for it )
I’m sure yal can add a few to the list…
@ YOU *&%#’S TO LAZY TO MAKE UP ISSHH THEY CRAZY, THEY DONT PAINT PICTURES THEY JUST TRACE ME(sxyQblondie)
Hey…. Good Mornink…
@IJM and sxyQblondie,
I willfully offer to “punish” Luda (sexually) when he’s in my neck o’ the woods….
besides…dont be up in here actin like we cant “check” our own people….it’s what we’re supposed to do anyway…dont mean luda banned from being black….or that we dont like the brotha…just an ill advised move on his part to connect Barack with his negative energy at this moment….had the song came out next year we’d all be nodding in agreement..but let the man get in office first….then turn the motha out….priorities people….co orrrrdinate your *****
Barack has no need to defend himself against this bs. Luda is not in his camp, he is not his man. He said he likes his music. I didn’t hear Bush distancing himself from the Dixie Chics when they got in trouble for their thoughts on the war. And he had also said that he was a fan of their music. You know what he did? Ignored it. I know, I know. He already had the presidency, but my point remains. Artists and musicians are entitled to their opinion, and entitled to voice it how they see fit. I ain’t mad at Luda. He stated his opinion. He didn’t do it on Faux News, but in a song. That’s his job.
Alright Aunt viv
It ain’t lunch time yet….
Good morning Just Sayin’,
Preachin’ as usual I see here my brotha…
hey SXYQ.. morning ma… dayum girl, you can’t shake em’ off?… how are you this mornin’?
@AUNT VIV
NOW YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I RELEASE HIM FROM HIS RESPONSIBILITIES AROUND HERE.(LOL)
@JUST SAYIN
GOOD MORNING YOU, I SEE YOU IN HERE SPITTING YOUR JEWELS OF KNOWLEDGE.(SMILE)
Luda didn’t do a damn thing wrong. If I was Obama I wish a nucca would ask me some dumb ***** ***** like they did.
I know you have to be “presidential” in your response but sometimes a good offense is a good defense.
@NEW2THIS
HEY GIRL. I GUESS THEY LOVE ME EVERYDAY, AND EVERYDAY THEY LOVE ME(LMFAO)
This is the sort of ish you get when rappers start believing they are the new leaders of the black race.
@ Re is NOT feeling this J-O-B.
Hey……………..
I love my people but there’s something wrong with us!! We feel an overt need to be “politically correct” on all issues but in reality, we’re extremely hypocritical. There is NOTHING wrong with Ludacris’ song. He’s a rapper and he exercised free speech. Why do we feel the need to justify every action of every black person when no other ethnic group accepts that responsibility? We’re on a continuous mission to appease everyone (with the exception of each other) and we’re always “worried” about someone else perception of our actions. It’s pitiful. White commentators/journalists, televangelists, and rock groups make offensive statements that can be considered degrading but all whites do not accept the responsibility to be accountable for their words and will oftentimes, dismiss it as freedom of expression. Why can’t we?
@ Lady Architect
Thanks…
Obama is running for the US, not the just the hood. On that note, I hear luda and everyone’s freedom of speech but.shhhuuutttuuup,….until he actually wins. its not like a Black prez happens all the time.
people dont realize, when America (THE WHOLE) thinks of luda, they see him as beefing with Oprah about disrespecting women and the guy who got banned for lyrics by pepsi. nothing else.
Lou in the Chi,
I agree with you on the Bush thing, but like you said he already had the office. On top of that he was a white man against gay marriage which to me is the real reason(stupid reason) he was granted a second term. Anyways it’s harder for Barack because he has to win not only black, but white voters too who are still up in the air about things. Public Enemy spoke a lot about politics, but their delivery was crazy which makes them the living legends they are. The did it in a respectful manner speaking facts and opening people’s eyes. Ludacris is just complaining and cursing people out mostly. Not a good way to deliver.
McCains camp is trying to hit him with the dumbest stuff imaginable because they have no other footing in the condemnation. I mean they just compared the man to Brittney and Paris. Said he’s being too presumptious by *****uming he’ll win the presidency. If the worst they have to say is “he’s too popular” or “he’s too presidential” then he needs to keep doing what he’s doing and ignore the bs. Don’t let them pull him in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks for droppin da knowledge on da fam…
I’m gonna remember that one…
Luda just needs to do like Halle, wear a T-shirt to show your support and help people get registered. Hand out some literature in neighborhoods and offer some volunteer buses for people that are too far away from voting areas. That’s a good way to use his stardom for help. He needs to make sure he votes too.
ATTN: ALL BLACK PEOPLE WITH ANY TYPE OF PLATFORM (BIG OR SMALL)
SHUT THE HELL UP UNTIL OBAMA IS ELECTED!!!!!!!
SHUT THE HELL UP–NO IGNORANT SONGS, CRAZY SPEECHS, BELIGERENT PRESS CONFERENCES, OVER HEARD FOOLISHNESS…JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!!!
the next person to see Ludacris out the street…just yell at his dumb ***** SHUT THE HELL UP! over and over again…don’t get pounced by his bodygaurds though, lol.

LMAOOOOOOOOOO@ Sarah……

What the hell was he thinking!
@Lady Arc
I so hear you, but…Obama is just playing into stereotypes. Ludacris does not speak for his campaign. He can say what he pleases. I could see if he was at the DNC rapping these lyrics, that would be a problem. But he’s doing what he gets paid to do. I mean if he came out with a four minute long song about taking a crap I don’t thing Obama would feel the need to address it just because he’s stated that he likes his music(well maybe just to say how ‘crappy’ the song is). Ignore him.
Senator Obama is not responsible for every action of every Black in America, and I hope one day HE realizes this. He has had to denounce so many people since he’s been running for the POTUS but why has Senator McCain not performed the same action. It’s simple, you have to display some level of loyalty. Senator McCain didn’t formally denounce Senator Gramm for his comments about Americans being “whiners”. Senator McCain did not denounce Pastor Hagee for his comments or Rod Parsley. Senator McCain really ignores the comments and keep forging ahead with his negative campaigning and that’s what most “white” american respects. Senator Obama should not have even addressed Ludacris comments. It’s a non-issue to him and Senator McCain has repeatedly stated you can’t control all of your supporters actions.
Why do silly ***** negroes like this do things that they have to know will cause trouble for Obama?
Nita, I’m from the South. The point highlighted with the statement is NOT ignorance of southerners. As I went on to say in the blog was the history of our race….. be it from living in the South and really anywhere when you think of it. It seems that some believe some rappers with ignorance, speak for our race and they don’t speak for me with ignorance. There is a way to do everything and especially to get your opinion across in a more tactful way. For those of you, who agree with what Luda had to rap about go ahead and bump this at your cubicle or work station because I’m sure 9 times out of 10 you work for the Man and don’t own your own or even if you have a job to go to with the state of our economy. So, let’s get it done FIRST before running off at the mouth.
@ Just Say!!
HOW ARE YOU 2day?
Well, personally I think everyone has a right to voice their opinions.
If you don’t like it, don’t listen. I don’t understand how one person’s thoughts and opinions can affect everyone like this.
The election is coming up and people are more concerned about what someone said in a song?
@ Just..no doubt fam…each one reach one then teach one…just trying to support what we both seem to stand for….
* shakin my head* yeah they ARE concerned when it could cost us our first shot at a black president…HELLOOOOOOO???
Amen Wyze
keep in mind we are not just talking about random average happenings in the hood…this is a historical tipping point for the entire nation and the world at large…so yeah…lil stuff like that counts for something …cause if he doesn’t make it because of that it would be more than a shame it would be tragedy…
I can act a fool on here sometimes, but that’s just to throw em off da scent… Dis slave bees on da road to be FREE, Debt Free.
Sarah…u r so very right….it’s like when you go to church as a kid…you may not understand why you need to but sit down and shut up till it’s over!!!…..you’ll be richly rewarded for your actions in the end….play the game and dont let the game play you ….
sorry but since when do people vote based on song lyrics? Ludacris got the right 2 rhyme about what ever he wants. Hilary is a *****, Mcain does need 2 sit his old ***** down in a wheel chair. Bush is a *****get. So what? Freedom of speech, this is some dixie chix ***** bull*****. People can say what they want quit hatin
@SxyQ,
I hear ya lady. man, i was DISAPPOINTED last night.. watching Larry King Live.. did ya’ll see the campaigne ad that Mccain put out, comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Brittany Spears? yeah, that had me *****ed.. that was a low blow.. i am sure that ya’ll been speaking on it, but these posts are too long to read, lol, so i just skim through them
@WyzePro
No, Ludacris and any other person comments won’t COST us our first shot at a Black President. What will cost you if you’re not in the community registering voters and getting people out to vote on election day. Now, that will cost you an election. I work as an Election Official and I volunteer with Senator Obama’s campaign in GA and there are a MULTITUDE of us that’s not registered to vote (in this day and age). Therefore, don’t be naive to think comments by supporters will cost you an entire election. However, if OUR PEOPLE don’t get out and vote, you’ll be surprised by the outcome. The last primary we had in July in GA, Republicans outnumbered Democrat votes overwhelmingly and they did not have any critical battles on the ballot, and they STILL voted…
@ WyzePro(Check me out!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s what I’m talkin about…
People DONT vote based on song lyrics …they WONT vote based on silly ***** antics and negative energy/press/attention…so the song aint wrong…it’s just not right….not right now…we dont hate the song or what he’s saying…we’re saying damn chill out for you mess it up for everybody…if you think it’s only about the song you are not looking deep enough at the pic…keep staring…you’ll get it sooner or later…
why is this such a big deal? Luda just stating whats on his mind. The question i have to ask is how did they even hear this mixtape?? Guess we have some Luda fans in the government now lol
but really, the are much much worse things out there such as: the cover of the new yorker mag., fox news claiming the obama and his wife did a “terrorrist pound”, etc. Then Luda comes out with one lil rap verse and everyone wants to bring in kids n ***** COME ON!!!!
I guess u cant b black and say what u want in this country, i hope they dont send luda to jail over a lil rap verse.

Spoken lke a true ignoramus. That move was unprofessional and to release something like that BEFORE the brother is even in office almosts leads me to believe that Republicans has Luda on their payroll. White people’s children bring that garbage into their home and those who are against a black man becoming leader of the world will use it as ammuntion. Free speech? Maybe, just remember that anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of public opinion. Why sway it in THEIR favor?
Now before you type a rebuttal, please ….. think.
Sepiastar..I agree somewhat about the registering….but let’s face it…of the people that ARE registered…and perhaps undecided…this can affect your decision one the Bill O’Reilly’s of the world get done mashing and twisting it into something it’s not….this is what you call a stumbling block…let me explain…as it was once broken down for me….as a church going person..it may not be wrong to go into a bar…you may have to use the bathroom or use the payphone and not in there for the libation ( drinking ) however a “new” church going member may “see” you go into the bar and wonder about your actions and question the doctrines cause they are not yet strong in their belief….first persons innocent action..causes the second person to stumble because they are still very influence-able and as such most people in the “upper” position should take care not to “cause” the wrong impression lest they lost the newbie to confusion ……let’s not be a stumbling block …feel me?

You must be a white woman as well as delusional b/c black people never liked Hillary Clinton. It was always Bill Clinton that we liked. That’s the problem with some people, they feel just b/c we like and supported Bill Clinton, that we should like and support his wife also. They are two totally different people and should be treated as such…..I also wish that music would just be kept out of politics b/c it causes too many unnecessary problems.

_____________________________________________________
If votters would use would Ludacris has to say, someone who has no affliation with the candidate, against Barack then they had no intention of voting for him anyway. This is a ruse. And many Americans are dumb enough to buy into it. Obama’s running a practically flawless campaign and this is the only bs they can use against him. And guess what we’re buying right into it. What does this have to do with the issues. Obama needs to stay focused on the issues and he can’t loose. Playing into this bs just gives McCain people a chance to say “I told you so”. If he were going to reply he should have said, “He’s free to voice his opinions this is America. And that’s the beauty of America, you have dissenting views over everything from the war to the economy to the war on terror. And these are the dissenting views that I have from McCain regarding those issue…” Or something along those lines.
@Mr. Anderson
The bottom line is no one will be swayed by a supporter’s lyrics. I have no problem with Ludacris lyrics and I won’t categorize him as an ignoramus for speaking whatever he chooses. As I stated earlier, what will cost you if you’re not in the community registering voters and getting people out to vote on election day. Now, that will cost you THE election!
i’m on the fence with this
in a way he is just saying what alot of black people think anyway

@mrslaadee FOR YOUR INFORMATION I’M BLACK AND YES BLACK PEOPLE DID LIKE HILLARY ESPECIALLY NEWYORKERS….I’M FROM NEWYORK.
I ain’t a defector I just think obama is gettin played out. Everytime the ***** takes a ***** suddently it’s a huge story. It’s too much pressure for one man 2 bear. Beinga presidential hopeful is stressful enough, then to add the additional scrutiny he’s enduring, it just ain’t right

this was one of the reasons she won NYC in the primaries
You all can say whatever you want about it…I’ll bet Cash Money that Luda feels bad about this now and is trying hard to come up with something to counter the backlash…I know he didn’t want that to happen he was just bein luda….I’d be surprised if he said nothing at all about it cause he strikes me as a thinker and someone that has a elevated mind state….sometimes we can mistakenly trip up a situation in our exhuberance…
Why is a Presidential candidate paying attention to a hip-hop song?
Obama 08…But I understand your opinion thats your M.O. to hate on *****s… you not feelin me?
Fine; it cost you nothin – pay me no mind
@Strong Black Man
You seem to be very adept at stereotypes. Are you insinuating Ludacris is uneducated because he’s a rapper? I would hope you know otherwise!!
Hang in there Obama! I knew stuff like this would happen. I think all black people need to agree and hold our mouths until the man gets in office
AND ALL YOU BLACKS DOWNING HILLARY WILL FEEL STUPID WHEN BARACK PUTS HER AS HIS VP..
I don’t think this will hurt Obama, because so many people are starting to ACKNOWLEDGE the difference between N!ggas and Black people. I believe people outside the Black community only see us in extremes. You have the upstanding families like the Huxtables and the Evans family, but what they see as reality are the people on the news, mugshots printed in newspapers, etc.
We (Blacks) aren’t covered as favorably in the media as whites. Leaf through your local paper one morning and read in the business section. They’ll print a picture of a white businessperson over a black one. But go to the Metro/Crime section, they’ll print a picture of a black mugshot more than a white one. I had to do a study on this in high school and we researched the names appearing in 5 articles from every section. there were several black names mentioned in the Arts and Business sections, but only 1 out of 10 pictures would be a black person. But when we went into the crime section, most of the names were white, but they only printed the black/Latino criminals’ pictures.
I do believe some people see blacks in a positive light, but unfortunately, we’ve let the media/pop culture define us in a negative light. It’s up to us to change how we’re perceived in the media. I had a former cl*****mate from J-school say she never knew there were so many black political pundits/correspondents until this election. What’s sad is many of them have been involved for decades, but could never get a lot of camera time until Obama was nominated.
So while I do agree Ludacris has the freedom of speech, hence allowing him to make this song, let’s get the MSM to focus more on Roland Martin, Donna Brazile, Jamaal Simmons, even the conservative black pundits who may be Republicans. They need to see us on all sides of the political spectrum, not just sum us up through a rap song.
One fish, two fish, red fish…blue fish…
It doesn’t matter if Luda is right. Steve Harvey just sumed it up at the closing of his show. Every week Obama has to address some stupid ***** comments made by celebrity black men. It’s bring negative attention to his campaign. That right wing media is enough to deal with. I can’t believe Luda didn’t have one intelligent person around him to tell him it was a stupid ***** ideal for the song to come out now.
AND THEY SAY BLACK WOMEN DON’T SUPPORT BLACK MEN. OBAMA HAS NOT HAD TO DEAL WITH ONE IGNORANT BLACK WOMAN YET. HELL EVEN REPUBLICAN SHERYL UNDERWOOD IS IN HIS CORNER.
Lol no one cares about Ludacris especially white people…He’s an uneducated rapper in their eyes. A thug, A trouble-maker…This is much to do about nothin

As I stated earlier, what will cost you if you’re not in the community registering voters and getting people out to vote on election day. Now, that will cost you THE election!”
Barack the vote no doubt! But I stand by my contention: if you have a voice that can reach millions, use your power wisely. DO NOT FUEL THE ANTI OBAMA PROPAGANDA MACHINE.

I am so dissapointed in Ludacris for this. He should know that John McCain’s camp is looking for anything and everything to tarnish Barack’s image. This was absolutely unnecessary. I feel that he did this song only to put himself in the spotlight rather than help Barack Obama. Does he have a record coming out or something? I am sure he could have thought of another way to positively contribute to Barack’s campaign.

Luda reminds me of those dudes with shotguns and Batman masks calling themselves “helping” Batman. Batman was *****ed: “I DON’T NEED YOUR HELP!!”
This ties in 2 y I didn’t sign Nas’ petition against Faux News. Faux has freedom of the press the way Ludacris has freedom of speech…regardless of how vile we may think their opinions r.
That being said, I have 2 agree with the person who said that Obama’s supporters may cost him this election quicker than his opponents. This includes everyone from that Pastor from his ex-church, 2 Bernie Mac telling a misogynistic joke at an Obama function, right on over to Luda. The way this country is…the actions of 1 black person IS NOT treated as an isolated incident.
I can c Barack now, listening 2 Luda’s joint an popping Motrin like it was crack.

You see…….. A main….. gotts ta know his limitations… and when nots to be FOOLISH…
Yal turn to Proverbs 10:23, and read wit me. It says-a…. “It is a sport to a FOOL to do mischief; but a man of understanding hath wisdom. (can you hear da crown reading aloud)
Yal ain’t hear me … It says….It is SPORT to a FOOL to do mischief…., Mmmm Hmmmm… Well……… Now I ain’t callin no names but, yal know who I’m talking bout… I’m just gonna say two words, DIRTY DIRTY…
Yal ain’t hear me… Ya see… a fool can’t see beyond their own nose. Just like a fart gotts ta stink, a FOOL gotts ta be FOOLISH… Yal ain’t hear me…

Let’s read on…(crowd reads aloud) , BUT a MAN of UNDERSTANDING hath WISDOM… Dem some powerful word…

I don’t know what yal reading, but when I reads it, it says BARAK… Yal must have dat NIV version, I needs yall ta open up ya KING JAMES VERSION if you want da truth…
It goes on to use the word U N D E R S T A N D I N G…. So the man… must be educated… Last I heard, BARAK is EDUCATED… Have mercy… and he HATH WISDOM… He has WISDOM enough to get away from FOOLS that do MISCHIEF…

I understand your sentiments but the anti-Obama propaganda machine will be in full force REGARDLESS. When does Senator Obama take a stance like Senator McCain and disregard the supporter comments? If anything, what level of principles does this show to Americans, that we’ll denounce any and everyone for your approval. What will you do when you become POTUS and someone that supported you makes disparaging comments? Senator McCain appears nonchalant towards his supporters actions or antics. He doesn’t host press conferences and address every single remark/comment that they make and people respect that. Visit the huffingtonpost.com. The Nation is sending Senator Obama an open letter and asking for signatures concerning their *****umption that he is not standing firm on his principles. I don’t see one posting about Ludacris lyrics…

Lol, I’ve seen Dark Knight and I know EXACTLY what you’re referencing here…good *****ogy.
Okay, I have to admit that Ludacris was a favorite of mine, not so much for his rapping but for his acting and his charitable activities. I had concluded, wrongly perhaps, that there was a bit of wisdom behind the harsh rap lyrics.
But this song is problematic for me. Sure, Luda has freedom of speech, as we all do, but adults we are expected to make wise decisions on how we use that freedom. In this case, Luda did not.
Unfortunately, this action of his behalf diminishes him in my eyes. I’m sure there are others who esteem him more because of what he did.
Nita pointed out in an earlier post the Barack gave Luda a “big up” when he proclaimed in Rolling Stone that Luda was on his iPod. Well, Luda paid him back with a “slap down.”
I wish I had some idea what Luda was thinking when he recorded this song. I’m afraid he was only thinking dollars.
Say it ain’t so.
@Just Saying…
…judging by your speech, I’m going to have to out you out of the closet: Barack Obama, is that you?
Ludacris is a talented/creative rapper…unfortunately his discernment about “what” to say and “how” to say lacks…you can’t be “hood” in everything…he can “roll out” with that.

This makes absolutely no sense. The lyrics are so non-inclusive. In order to support Barack Obama you must be all-inclusive and g rated. This is exactly what racist americans expect from a black president and luda is perpetuating that image. What was Obama to do.. say . Yoooo that’s what’s up my ni#$a? I mean give me a break. Black people are much more intelligent than that.. and there is no way that luda coudl have honestly believed that that song would HELP.. Grow up luda.. u really let me down this time.. he is MUCH too smart for that.

Obama always disowns his followers AFTER they have done something to embar***** him instead of telling them to cool it before the fact. It took him 20 years to hear what his preacher had top say, I’m surprised that he heard Ludacris so early in the game

whoops, got caught trying to edit myself.
@ Lady Architect
“Though the song is true”
I do agree with Luda’s rhyme though”
———————————————–
@ Lou in the Chi
I so hear you, but…Obama is just playing into stereotypes. Ludacris does not speak for his campaign. He can say what he pleases. I could see if he was at the DNC rapping these lyrics, that would be a problem. But he’s doing what he gets paid to do. I mean if he came out with a four minute long song about taking a crap I don’t thing Obama would feel the need to address it Ignore him.
—————————————————
Although Ludacris has every right to say what he feels (Freedom of Speech)I couldn’t disagree more. If you truly believe Hillary Clinton is now irrelevant simply because she “Hated” on Barack you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about POLITICS. She did exactly what she was supposed to do. Hillary, as the rest of them were, was campaigning to become a nominee for President Of The United States, it wasn’t a *****ing “RAP BEEF”. I’m pretty sure Barack expected it, and he held is own. Haven’t you ever heard the expression, “Alls fair in Love And War And Politics.
To even remotely believe that Ludacris saying “The only chair McCain belongs in is a WHEELCHAIR”, is either true or acceptable, shows that you have yet to mature Mentally/Psychologically, that statement is extremely childish at the least and completely offensive at best.
Do you even no why Barack addressed the issue?. Maybe he was asked to. As far as I’m concerned he did the right thing by distancing himself from the song. He was also right for distancing himself from Reverend Wright.
He is now in a position where EVERYTHING IS FAIR GAME. As unfortunate and uncomfortable as it may be for himself and his constituency his ENTIRE EXISTENCE is going to come into question. As it should. He is now running for what may very well be the most Powerful Position on this Planet. Like I said before I’m pretty sure this is what he expects and is hopefully more than prepared to handle ON HIS OWN.
*****uming he does become President,I truly believe he should take Martin Luther King’s Dream to the HIGHEST LEVEL. His PRESIDENCY should be about INCLUSION and not “Preferential Treatment” and ACCOMPLISH what no other President has ever done, MOVE THIS ENTIRE NATION FORWARD AS A COLLECTIVE WHOLE. Not as it stands today, a FRAGMENTED SOCIETY STILL HOLDING ON TO THE PAST. By OPENLY , HONESTLY and SINCERELY addressing the issues that still PLAGUE American Society today.
This may possibly be the reason he addressed the song. To set an EXAMPLE of what THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO BE MOVING AWAY FROM INSTEAD OF TOWARDS.
Last but NOT LEAST I TRULY HOPE HE’S ABLE TO SUSTAIN WHAT APPEARS TO BE HIS VISION OF WHERE THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE HEADED AND NOT COW TOW TO THOSE WITH SHORT SIDED VIEWS OF THIS COUNTRY AND THE WORLD.

Luda should know from the whole PEPSI thing that they would be on his ***** about this! He should have come more insightful and tactful. Whether he thinks so or not he represents for a generation and culture. Luda’s making moves in business and if he wants to get political he has to have a better strategy than the obvious. Looking for shock value while sending a message? Do something *****ody would expect…Obama’s relevence ONLY should have been the topic. Keep the focus on him. State your opinion postive and strong. Luda went out sounding like the typical rapper and the media and politicians are waiting for that…he fed them!

University of Missouri is very competitive, and I felt the professors were too uptight, but I’m sure that’s why they were one of the top ranked J-schools in the country.
talk about crabs in a barrel? a big SHAME ON YOU for each of you trash talking pillow stash.
Um, Luda is just saying what everyone is thinking. And its called freedom of speech. geeze
Man Luda…that was a low blow. Obama has a point. I like how he spoke against it though. He said that Ludacris is talented but uses poor choices of words. At least he’s not condemning Luda but just his lyrics.
Um, Luda is just saying what everyone is thinking. And its called freedom of speech. geeze, another thing to take our minds off of whats really going on. Seriously.

Syke! Okay, if anyone asks, you’re officially my bossip spouse.
PLEASE PEOPLE, Luda said some ***** that a lot of folks think about the whole situation, so stop frontin. The problem with this is how some dumb ***** people would link to Obama and said that Obama had something to do with it, or this that if Obama became president he would paint the White House Black or something. It’s more on other people’s ignorance than Luda’s expression He said what he meant, most of it is on point.
By the way did you know a BLACK WOMAN was running for president AND I believe she would make a far better president that Barack. We need real change and you’ll see when I tell you Barack ain’t no different. Remember that.
Damn Luda, “whatchu hadda go an do dat fuh, huh”!!!LOL!
LMAO @ one lion calling obama a house *****
oh snap RE…I was just about to ask your ring size…guess it’s back to the pond for me….( all I got was a rock!!)
LMAO. I knew as soon as I heard it and there was the usual Obama backlash that Bossip would weigh in on it. Fact is, some of Obama’s supporters are just gonna make it hard on him to win the damn thing. Hate to use the “it is what it is” cliche but I think it applies here. Republicans are loving this kind of ish.

The difference with Mccain’s supporters is that when they gaffe in public, they r treated as “individuals”. Mccain, there4 doesn’t have 2 address these “individual” idiots. When an Obama supporter gaffes… especially a black 1, we r all considered as a monolith and in cahoots with each other, whether right or wrong. Barack has an added problem because earlier, he gave props 2 Ludacris 4 being talented. Now if he doesn’t speak against what Luda said, then he is seen, rightly or wrongly, as co-signing. In short, Mccain has white privelege – Obama does not.

Perhaps your definition of “social commentator” and “teacher” is too narrow.
Everyone who is saying, “Luda is just saying what everyone is thinking, and the whole freedom of speech thing; no! Ludacris should think more like a professional and less like a typical rapper. Just because you have the RIGHT to say ignorant ***** on a record, in a magazine, in an interview, etc., does not neccessarily mean you should. Know when things are better left unsaid, regardless of whether or not thats what you think in your head. Ludacris put Obama in an awkward position that I’m sure he didn’t want to have to address, and he also compromised his campaign and what Obama stands for, not even considering this man has a wife and 2 daughters, and he calls another female a “*****”? Come on now Luda, you’re smarter than this…

Luda always has written song with derogatory lyics againt women and these chicken head girls love him… not to mention he’s gay u guys know that right? I think that why a lot of these guys bad mouth women so much because they hate them probably from long stem hate they have toward their mothers.
there was once a time when Obama would’ve Killed for ludacris to spit some ***** like this in a rhyme, just so he could get the press. Now he’s 2 hollywood? Fame done blown this *****s dome up. Obama bring back something for the hood *****!
Good Morning All,
I have a few comments about this whole ordeal…..
we have to remember that this is all an opinion. We may not like it but we essentially cannot govern over everyones mouth to stop them from voicing their opinion. Its unfortunate that an anchor on FOX news did not get this much heat for calling him (Obama) Osama or the fact that it was stated that the fist pound that Obama and his wife do are some sort terroristic gesture or that on the front of the “New Yorker” there was a cartoon character of Obama with a turban on…… I understand that alot of ppl are offended from the remarks in song that Luda has made but lets keep in mind that this is happening on both sides. I am not condoning his opinion( and I use that term strongly) but he has a right to state it. Alot of the comments are harsh to the other parties, but whether we like it these things are going to happen..
“there was once a time when Obama would’ve Killed for ludacris to spit some ***** like this in a rhyme, just so he could get the press. Now he’s 2 hollywood? Fame done blown this *****s dome up. Obama bring back something for the hood *****!”

If ive said it once, I’ll say it a thousand times!
Barack stay away from these sh*tty a*s deep south rappers!
First TI wants to jump on the Barack bandwagon and the n*gga’s a convicted gun felon, Now ludagris releases this stupid a*s rap song insulting white rivals and Barack has to go on TV and distance himself…………..
This is the type of sh*t that FOX news loves to report and since they have the highest ratings its broadcast into damn near every white household in America.
Barack wont lose the election, these damn ignorant deep south “Bama, Yessuh masta” rappers are gonna hand the sh*t to McCain!
Like I said, build a wall around the deep south just until the election is over.
Yeah ludacris shouldn’t have put that out there but to be honest he’s just speaking his mind and I agree Hilary was a b$%ch when she was still in the running but I have to ask why does what luda say effect obama just because luda raps about something he’s speaking for himself not for Obama so I don’t think it should affect him at all….
Anyway w*****up Z how you doing?
STRONG BLACK MAN
Apparently bossip doesn’t want me to send you a message so I will post in the Jennifer Hudson thread…
Furthermore, Obama is not disputing his talents, only his ability to keep his mouth shut when what he is rapping about doesn’t have anything to do with what he’s about.
The difference is. we expect white folks to try to tarnish his image..We don’t need our OWN people being idiots.
Watch 2 weeks before the election they are going to film the most ignorant nappiest mississippians and ask them
“what does Obama winning mean to you”
They will say something completely crazy, like “Ah man my *****s will get parole for that triple murder he did back in 1988″
As black people we must keep things IN-HOUSE. The problem is we have no Home and the “Home” we trying to build gets decorated with the tacky uneducated and uninformed. Not to mention “The Hate”…lol thats why you do your own thing.
http://www.pillowstash.com
I’m willing to bet that most black people who are upset about Ludacris, are upset not because his words were utterly reprehisible, but because they feel it may hurt Obama. Which is sad. I wonder if there would have been such a strong reaction from Black folk, if Obama were white? Hmmmmmmmm.
It is stuff like this that make a lot of the “old schoolers” nervous about p*****ing the baton. In the world of Hip Hop, where calling a woman a b*tch is “normal”, is not reality in the rest of the world. If you can’t stay concious of what “world” you are in, the rest of the world will not take you seriously. The same thing is true for NAS. NAS was standing in front of the FOX Network World Headquarters, surrounded by the mainstream media, addressing a serious topic, and his pants were sagging below his butt and he couldn’t get through his statement without using profanity. The next day Fox took him to task and made him irrelevant to the viewers of FOX News.
The old saying is when in Rome, do as the Romans do. If you want to get your message out or you want the world to hear you, sometimes you have to “leave the hood” and meet the audience where they are. In MOST OF THE WORLD, sagging is not normal. Calling women b*tches is not normal. Calling each other n*gga in front of the world, is not normal. And not being able to complete a sentence without using profanity, is not normal.
If anything, this all just re-inforces the negative stereotypes about Hip Hop and rappers, and ultimately reflects negatively on black people.
By the way, as each day goes on I am finding myself less and less likely to vote for Obama. This crazy allegiance to that man is SCARING the hell out of me. Like I said before, the only reason black folk are so upset with Luda is because they feel it may hurt Obama. When the real reason should be because his lyrics were so disrespectful.
I think those who think Obama is going to win based upon black folk voting for him, is living in a dreamworld. It’s the independent voters and the Hillary supporters, many of whom like myself, are still bitter. And actions like a nationally known supporter of Obama, calling her a b*tch, is not going to win many over to Obama’s side. Someone here said, Obama supporters are going to be the reason behind him not getting elected, and I totally agree.
If obama loses I’ll be disgusted, but it’ll be all y’all black *****es that talked all this obama *****, then when the election came got blunted and said ***** it. Be real 80% of y’all *****s ain’t never voted and ain’t registered.
Hello everyone!
Sometimes you need a ***** in the house to help the *****s in the field…..
As far as I’m concern these rappers have been making the blk community look bad for over 22 yrs with that gangsta crap. We blk ppl love ppl like Obama and Oprah and I would like to see more blks in the limelight and bury the nigg__rs. We all aren’t ignorant hoodrats or drug dealers it’s time for blk to shine and leave nigs behind. We are being stereotype because of the images out there and yes it dumb put many ppl believe what they see on tv and we dont need them repping us anymore enough is enough… Obama 08.
damn you people are harsh

You know Obama got it in his MP3 bangin’ it…like..

Seems like Luda is riding Obama’s coat tails on this track. I dont see how this is any different than the whole swiftboat thing of 2004.
at least Nas’ “Black President” didnt attack any canidates and actually expressed why he supported obama. Ludas song is just name droppin for album sales
Mcain is always goin nothin but *****in negative, so who cares? that paris n brittney *****, implying that obama is a muslim, and therefore a terrorist. Mcain is a *****get I woulda dissed his *****ty ***** harder. His wife is hooked on O.C’s and *****in xanax. Pure *****in *****get
Man, I just don’t care
Perhaps your definition of “social commentator” and “teacher” is too narrow.
________________________________________________
U may b right, but my idea of rapper(s) as social commentator(s) r people like: Public Enemy (back when Flav had some semblance of a conscience), Talib Kweli, Common, Tribe, Digable Planets, KRS-1, etc. NOT some rapper who can’t move past the same tired ciches…
But again, u might b right.
Ive spoken to my progressive educated friends, we’ve decided that if Obama loses in Novenber, The east/west/south pacific black people are gonna start a civil war with deep south n*ggas, The first to go will be every record company in MISS, ARK, GA, FLA and ALA, we saved Alabama for last because we wanna torture them *****’s!
After we’ve captured every ignorant a*s deep south rapper and his CEO, we’re gonna have the first slave auction in 153 years right here in Honolulu, the Gov. aint gonna care, we’re barely even considered one of the 50 states, besides by the time they find out most of these n*ggas will have been sold.
So take this as a warning, the next nursery rhyme sayin’ mush mouth, knucle draggin’ deep south rapper that threatens Barack’s destiny? You’ll have a price to pay!

@velvetj
You know in some ways I agree with you and in some ways I don’t. Unfortunately you are right that the song by Luda will reflect poorly on Obama, Rap, and blacks (in that order). The question is “should it?” I think we both agree that it should not.
I’m sure most people are fully aware of the phrase “Don’t kill the messenger.” If people were to only adhere to people based on appearance there would have been no Ghandi and thus no Martin Luther King. What about Che Guevera, Malcolm X (who was criticized for his goatee), Mother Theresa etc.
I’m a realist as well as an idealist. I understand that people are human and will pay attention to someone’s appearance/speech/etc. But, I still realize that the message is the important thing, not where it comes from or “how it looks”…

I BET 90% of the black ppl don’t know….not only do I bet, I GUARANTEE!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with Obama. It’s VERY hard for me to accept these rap lyrics. I love our people and I love their talent, but I feel they can use the same beats and rap about something positive. Why do the lyrics have to be nasty, degrading and disrespectful? I think “ARE WE CRAZY” talking about ourselves, like that. But rap music is promoted by the country. And I feel, personally, as yet another way to hold us down, keep us back and in our place – lowest on the totem pole. You know when our own men start disrespecting us – then the whole world will CONTINUE to disrespect our women and our race as a whole – sooner or later. Even if Obama doesn’t become President – but I think he will – he is speaking something that Black men should take heed. He didn’t talk about your Mommy in a disrespecting way – he said protect and love your Mommy, as well as your kids and your family. What’s wrong with that? That’s what we as black people, in this country in particular, are lacking from years of oppression. Like I always say – EDUCATE your own Black children. People can take that in any way they want and run with it. I taught my Son to respect his ancestors and elders, recognize AND KNOW where you came from and you’ll always know where you are going. And most of all KEEP it POSITIVE and I’m happy to say, as a young man who is a GREAT father to his daughter, he DOES.
Wheres my friend SMDH? i have a surprise for her!

@ Justine,
Have you lost your f*ckin’ mind? Im voting for Barack because he’s the only one who will pull the troops out of Iraq, he’s the only one who will tax these major profits that the oil companies are making right now (look at today’s news, exxon just made the most money they’ve ever made in one quarter period) I travel and you’d be surprised how many people hate the US right now, Barack will try and bring the luster back to this nation, people are starving right now and Bush doesnt give a sh*t, McCain says we could be in Iraq for another 100 years!
Justine he’s a democrate I dont care what he does it better than a war loving republician. I don’t care if Mrs. Clinton won Dem is what I vote for no matter what color they are. And he we bring chance to the way the world looks at America what will Mccain do. um keep the rich richer and the poor down.
either you’re the one sellin the dope or you’re the one buyin it
VelvetJ…..I agree with you. We are our worst enemies. We think that cursing and demeaning Black woman is the norm or cool. It shows nothing except that we have no pride and very little cl*****. It saddens me that Blacks under 35 have very little sense of what those who fought for equality stood for. They ask for respect and the right to be heard yet they say nothing of any worth. Nas, Luacris and other militant ignorant gangsta rappers, along with thier supporters…..get real and get some sense.
The world consists of more than the foolishness they want to be heard. If you want to improve education, get your children and the other children you see hanging in the street to school. Attend the PTA meetings and become involved in the school activities. You want to stop crime, stop looking the other way when Pookie brings home $200 tennis shoes you didn’t buy or friends that you know he shouldn’t be hanging with. When 12 year old Shayla leaves home dressed like the hood-rat hooker ***** her little behind back in the house and take those clothes off her and put her in something respectable. Don’t fall in line with the foolishness Luda and his cronies spew because they are the reason the Black youth are as lost as they are now.

There are going to be 4 times as many whites (read republicans) voting against him for that very reason as well!!
If I was a known republican i would pull a Niccolò Machiavelli and fake my own death to reemerge as ANYTHING ELSE. I claim allegiance to Al-Quida than the republicans. They have been more successful in harming America.
Obama should only say one thing in his speech and that should rap it up “I’M NOT A REPUBLICAN!!”
You cant even guarantee that sh*t!
If Barrack was in the streets he would get no love…But Luda is “that *****”
Our whole existence since 1965 has been a *****ing joke. We have let FILTH and yes your FAMILY MEMBERS CAN BE FILTH! We have let FILTH, bamboozle and swindle us…Rappers are idiots..If you ever hear them in interviews they always say ”

@ 6amhogetout
Ok Ok thats good to hear. I agree with you…I saw a mccain commercial saying that barack wants to bring more taxes and use more forgein oil….but the most important is that we can bring the troops home eventually..Im glad you’ve been doing your homework
I’ll say one thing about this whole Obama craze, it has definitely brought the fair weatherness out of most of you *****s. All of sudden, some of you are now decrying rap music; Prior to that, you’re preaching the evils of the Clintons; That you never trusted or liked Jesse Jackson, and true to form, some of the thug worshippin’ sistas are still pledging their carnal allegeance to Ludacris after releasing another one of his stupid limericks with a beat…And then you wonder why the truly enlightened feels that you *****s are not ready for prime time.
It was only a matter of time until a molato ruled the world. I’m glad 2 see the black community is so supportive.
Barack Obama a gr***** root movement that is not going to stop until it reaches the presidency ! And by the way ….. Being open to setting a time table to get the troops out, asking black fathers to step up, taxing the rich too as well as the middle cl*****, has made it clear he wants to do somethings about health coverage for all ….. yep this is one black person that knows what Barack wants to not only do for us ! BUT THE COUNTRY !
Im sorry….but I hear ppl alll the time say I dont care what he does I just want a black man as our President…it really *****es me off and makes us look reeeally bad…I just wish everyone not just the select few would really look into what Obama can do..
If you not making money online in 2020, your an idiot..go back to school and get a degree in a computer specialization

let me guess you’re into techno music and molly cyrus. *****get ***** *****. Rappers r the top of food chain. Matter of fact who is Obama to be speaking on Luda? Luda’s been hot for damn near 10 years, Obama is just starting up his 15 minutes, stay in your lane obams, you don’t want it with established *****s. Don’t bite the *****in hand that feeds you obama.
@ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE.. I have good credit and drive a 07 Trailblazer(not a bid deal but its mine) and all my bills are always paid on time, get your own crap before u talk about what ur woman got and she’s dumb as hell if she has all that and is with a man who can’t even speak in sentences.( she might be a stripper or hooker so who knows how she got it) Materialthings are just that save ur money and acquire wealth stop talk about what someone got who probably lives check to check. I never stand up for white ppl and I wish our community to come together as one and get the nigs in jail were they belong and keep blk men with their children and raise them but far too many brothas ( not all u guys because a lot of ur are good men) don’t want that they’ll rather do 5-10yrs for selling drugs and tearing down their own community, or dream their going to be the next big rapper/producer because they’re to lazy to read a few books.

If someone said that about your mother what would you feel? Do you care about women at all? You are obviously not religous in any way because anyone with a conscious or a soul would approve of any woman (Black/White/Chinese, etc) being called out of her name. You are disgrace to the human race.
We disrespect people for no reason. What has that woman done to you? I bet you call any woman out of their nmae if they P*** you off don’t you? You probably curse your mamma if she messes with you too bad. What would you do if you heard someone on the street refer to your mother or sister or any female you care and respect (if there is one) as a b**** or a w****?

Ludacris is ,apparently, a bigot and Vile . He called Hillary a B#TCH , wished John McCain to become permantely sick , and wants obama to call the white house the black house
@ tracie
2 b real wit chu my moms ran off years ago. N I don’t really give a ***** if I called hillary a *****. She’s only on because she took bills ***** for 30 years. If she wasn’t a package deal with Bill *****ody would give a ***** about her. She’s *****in 4 votes.
It’s wonderful to see we can engage in some level of political exchange but how many of you are volunteering to *****ist Senator Obama’s campaign and HAVE YOU DONATED to the campaign?
Now, we truly understand everyone wants to take part in this historical, revolutionary election. However, all rappers “please” do not mess this up, at the same time do not allow your white record producers and executives to allow you to mess this up for Obama.
Records such as the Gospel song “Never would have made it” indiscretionaly speaks about Obama and all our ancestors that have pave the way for us as people to be where we are today, is an example of uplifting lyrics.
Can we please wait until he actually makes it in the “White House” to make rap songs like the one Ludacris made.
Vote OBama Vote Obama Vote Obama,,,,,,,,,,YES WE CAN!
@ tracie
truth is my mom ran out years ago. You wanna call her a ***** that’s on u. I don’t really care, hillary is only on because she took bills ***** for 30 years. People only want her because she would have bill there to help, it’s the closest they can come to voting for bill clinton again.
@ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE.. I’ve heard that before and I think it really does teach ppl a lot of about life and gives helps u with math but my point selling crap to ur own ppl is why I hate drugs dealers I understand why they do, and it’s they’re parents fault imo, and yes I know if you/they don’t sell it to them another man would. It’s a good thing u got out of the life and was smart enough to ivest but look at the harm u did maybe it doesn’t matter to u because u got material things out of it but I hope you teach ur children to do much more with their lifes.
its sickening b/c every single black person (thats registered and knows how to vote) will vote for Barak. NOT for what he really stands for but simply b/c he’s black….black people kill me…supporting someone just b/c he’s half black….ASK YOURSELF WHAT WILL OBAMA DO FOR YOU? I BET 90% of the black ppl don’t know….not only do I bet, I GUARANTEE!!!!!!!!!!!
*****************************************************
What will McCain do for us or how do you suppose we vote for?..If Barack was white and looked like Brad Pitt and had the same accolades receiving 90% of our vote no one would question the black vote..Most black people are voting PARTY more than race, and *****uming that 90% of black people are uninformed and just voting for race, sad..Some are voting for race and that’s completely their right to do so just as some McCain supporters are doing the same thing so what’s your point.

my true Love.I have found my match on this site, ————uniformedcupid.com———- It was an instant connection for women seeking
handsome and charming rich men.Good luck to all who are looking for true and real love, I am blessed.
Obama is a tool for the New World Order to minimize the threat of rebellion and chaos. Don’t forget the elections are FAKE competition. He’s already dumbed down America so that when the dollar dissolves and becomes the Amero, he’s already a trusted leader with the poor and “educated”. Then he will begin the North American Union(Canada/Mexico/US). He’ll shut down Africa for the African Union because he’s half Kenyan. He’s shut Europe down. He’s p*****ed the international tests and you dummies are worried about Ludacris. How about worrying what you’re gonna do about that Chip you’re gonna REQUEST and BEG them to put in your damn foreheads.
and wants obama to call the white house the black house

@ more 2u
no I agree with most of what you’re saying. I don’t think it was good what i did. I saw peoples lives destroyed and a lot of people close to me suffer. People get killed and *****ody including the police care because it’s drug related. I don’t think the dope game is a good thing at all. But you gotta c it from the dboys perspective, It’s too hard for them 2 survive with the nepatism that the corprate world is built on and most of them could never go 2 college and p*****. So I mean it’s that or starve, I think hustlin is better than suffering.

Stop the non-sense..It has nothing to do with the internet..*****s can’t rap!
Can some of you please stop with the “Please don’t say anything until he’s elected” statements. Blacks are not monolithic, one-dimensional individuals. Ludacris and any other rapper/entertainer can make any statements they choose – FREE SPEECH.
Such as I stated earlier, if you want Senator Obama to win, donate and volunteer in the campaign. Stop sitting on the sidelines watching the festivities!
So frustrating. Shut the HELL UP Ludacris… Ludacris like he even knows how to spell president. These buffoons are going to ruin it. The Republican base is depressed but dumb sh*t like this will get them motivated real fast. What would even make you think “I should boast about Obama like I did something” he talking bout pardons and everything SHUT UP! Damn! Stupid ***** people…

Curious…there are soooo many denouncing Luda’s lyrics in here yet there seems to be a select group of ‘educated’ blacks who think that we all agree with what he says. Thus all the black bashing by these same black folks. It seems rather retarded to blame Black women AGAIN for the words of two grown up Black men, but yet somehow the ‘educated’ have found a way to do it.
The educated may need to seek psychological help for their apparent deep seeded hatred for Black women based on their own trifling BLACK mother….
@velvetj
You know in some ways I agree with you and in some ways I don’t. Unfortunately you are right that the song by Luda will reflect poorly on Obama, Rap, and blacks (in that order). The question is “should it?” I think we both agree that it should not.
I’m sure most people are fully aware of the phrase “Don’t kill the messenger.” If people were to only adhere to people based on appearance there would have been no Ghandi and thus no Martin Luther King. What about Che Guevera, Malcolm X (who was criticized for his goatee), Mother Theresa etc.
I’m a realist as well as an idealist. I understand that people are human and will pay attention to someone’s appearance/speech/etc. But, I still realize that the message is the important thing, not where it comes from or “how it looks”…
_____________________________________________________
@ Man, I just don’t care,
You are absolutely right, I agree with you that Ludacris’ actions should not reflect on Obama, Rap, and Black people, but I have noticed that the older I get the less idealistic I am and the more realistic I’ve become. And the REALITY of the situation is, it will indeed reflect on all three whether it should or not. In fact, Fox News has already been making sure it reflects because they have been having a field day with this Ludacris situation.
Regarding the appearance element, I understand what you are saying completely, however I stand by my belief in that showing up at a press conference to discuss THAT particular issue on a world stage, and you are sagging and using profanity? Naw bruh. If Obama showed up at the Democratic National Convention, sagging and using profanity, shouldn’t the only thing that matters be his words and his message? Of course. But the REALITY is if he wants the nation to take him seriously, he had better not show up sagging or using profanity to get his message out.
I suppose I’m also approaching it from a personal standpoint as well, because if I’m speaking to someone and they begin to yell at me or disrespect me, I tune them out. Even on this website, if someone responds to one of my posts and they call me out of my name, I INSTANTLY stop reading. I feel the same holds true for many of those who can’t seem to know when certain things are appropriate. I don’t believe people take them seriously when dealing with certain issues.

Obama is sooooo smart that he wants us to inflate our tires and get our tune-ups so we don’t have to drill gas. That’s fine until he shot off his mouth and said that it would save as much gas as drilling.
I thought that Bush is stupid until I heard Obama speak. Obama is from Havard and he sounds this stupid. What makes you think that I listen to a last-decade rapper?

Nothing wrong with being a realist, but if we forget our ideals than how “real” are we as individuals?
Real Talk. I think what ludacris did was good just for the simple fact that its the truth. Alot of people coming down on Luda but he said what millions of people were afraid to say. I wouldnt have said hillary is a b*tch but everyone knows she has some B*tch*****ness in her. Hillary’s whole campaign was about trying to ruin barack and change how people perceived him. I think what luda said was real and true. Thats whats wrong with america now they dont want to hear the truth or if they do they want it watered down. BIG UPS TO LUDA

Black pride really isn’t easy to come by in America. Glad I had TWO parents who maintained their childrens’ pride in Black people. I pity those who don’t know anything about that. Life must suck for you!
This is very surprising to me. I cant believe Ludacris would do this because he doesn’t seem like the type. That is not cool.

Thriller sold all of those albums in the 80’s when the American population was around 250million people. America alone has 350 million people now and they still don’t have an album that’s close to it.
Sales are down. Do any sort of research and it will confirm this.
So I guess according to what most are saying all drug dealers, thieves, murderers, cheaters, and addicts shouldn’t wear Obama ‘08 shirts. They shouldn’t show that they have an inherent right as well, regardless of their situation, to have a free voice, especially if their black. Listen, I wouldn’t be surprised if Luda freestyled that song as he recorded. Regardless of anybody thinking its wrong, there are far more lyrics on songs that say much worse about our own people, and we’re not in uproar. I think most of us are just surprised that this came from Luda, cuz that’s typically not his style, but so be it. It is what it is. And I don’t buy for one ‘cotton pickin’ minute that Obama listens to Luda, let alone have him on his ipod. That was a ploy people. I support Obama 100% and would love to see him win this thing, but to have to continuously disembark yourself from others for their words or actions is not right. Jeremiah Wright, Ludacris, and others that have spoken against the travesties of this country so far, I beleive are the only ones really speaking the truth. And just because the majority of this country (the same majority that was pro-slavery, pro-segregation, and anti-affirmative action) don’t want to hear the truth, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t speak it.

@ unemployed I hope your handle is not your true situation first of all. But to say Obama sounds stupid? I’ve heard the man speak more than once and he is far from dumb. He is in a hard position and trying to play the middle. He cant come off as to black and cant come off as to white. He is the first black man to be in this postion, so he has no past point of reference to really go by. One drop of black blood in your body in America makes you black in this country and you will be treated as such. Bush is stupid, a liar, and corrupt as *****. He lied about the whole Iraq thing and Mccain is nothing but a old ***** Bush clone. The truly stupid ones are the folk who voted for Bush twice, and the ones who would consider voting for his old ***** wrinkly clone Mccain. The Mccain who was against MLK birthDAY being celebrated as a holiday. The Mccain who would do away with Affirmative Action. The Mccain who dumped his old wife to hook up with a younger richer chick. The Mccain who p*****es his self off as a military expert because he was a POW. to you I say WAKE THE ***** UP!!!

Life is never ever good for a Black person who is sorry they were born black. No matter how many times you tell yourself and others that…it is sad. Look at Michael Jackson. Yah he is soooo happy. lmao
OKAY FOLKS, LET LOOK AT IT LIKE THIS:
How many people have you heard of coming out, since Obama became the presumptive nominee, saying racist/sexist/violent things about Hillary and McCain? Not many.
BUT: let’s flip the script and talk about occurances since Obama won the nomination: SEVERAL! From him being called BOY in open meetings, people PURPOSELY mixing up his name to call him OSAMA instead of OBAMA, the senator from SC/NC putting on his website (official website paid for by the state) a t-shirt picture comparing him to Osama Bin Laden.
So much has been to Obama by people on purpose, yet the MSM will glaze over that, so O’Reilly knew what he had to do to make sure EVERYONE knew about Ludacris’ song. Let’s start hardballing the people who come down on Obama for the wrong reasons. I have no problem with anyone saying he lacks experience, has questionable ties to “unsavory” characters, etc. But he gets attacked because of his birth name and race all the time. Why don’t we play that up instead of just letting “media” like Bill O’Reilly and Faux have all the fun?
Luda,
I truely understand what you were getting at. ***** everyone that is taking it out of context. If ppl look at ya past songs it is a lyrically humorous song. Keeping it real Obama probably truely likes the song, but politically he has to play the game. We all know that. Luda made that song for young Black ppl that has never voted and getting into the political process. Im 25 and the last time I voted was for John Kerry dumb *****. Luda is right BLACK PPL HAS TO get off they ***** and make sure they vote. If we don’t vote and McCain wins that’ll be on us. But Luda next time no freestylin. Site down and write your lyrics out thoughtfully. Bcuz we know how the media will spin this artistic work to be a negative thing for Obama. We Black ppl, Black rappers, Black actors, Black Athletes have to be caculative about what we put in the media as to not harm this Man’s chance at history. We gotta rally behind him as a whole!!!! He can be a new image for our youth to aspire to be like instead of just a rapper, actor, athlete. I wantta hear lil kids say I wantta be President, a Supreme Court Judge, Secretary of state, etc. But every hater stop hating on Luda. We all know its one man’s artistic Point Of View (I feel the same way too, lmao). Stop reading too much in too it. Luda just said what many ppl are thinking.
“Life is never ever good for a Black person who is sorry they were born black. No matter how many times you tell yourself and others that…it is sad. Look at Michael Jackson. Yah he is soooo happy. lmao”

McSame is going to have a new economic plan:
“Forced Job Training”
All unemployed people and those receiving welfare and Government subsidies will now have to enroll in a new program. This program will help *****imilate these Americans to the workforce by helping them acquire vital job skills. Employers also need to enroll and will be able to select individuals best suited to help their companies. The labor provided will give the people enrolled valuable experience and a networking system. There will be no compensation but the people that enroll and are selected will receive free room and board. Those not selected will be shot.
Whatsyoursismine you are correct. Bill O’Reillly is just running scared because NOW that the reports have come out about all the talking points coming from the white house to CNN(not to mention the looming threat of a Black Democrat who has s*****bed FAUX NEWS coming into presidential power) he has to do everything in his power to downplay unneccesary attacks on Obama while highlighting attacks on McCain and Bush. He knows what is coming and he knows no matter how this thing turns out, his programming days are numbered. Look at how they destroyed Rush Limbaugh. O’Reilly is next.
@Realwoman:
Were you serious about your statement about black people not being happy they were born black?
SMH…some things you just dont respond to man, no matter how ludacris it is, lol
and he’s an idiot anyway, this is coming from a dude that raps on i’m so hood remix “I’m so hood that Ludacris should have been on the original version” wtf??? WHO says that…remixes are always supposed to be hotter, ho sit..
now this dumb shyte about to be a focus ppl will leach wasted energy in protest of this stupid shyte..He got way more heavier blows coming than this…this some bull..and we aint even ready..damn shame..
Someone should go out and google songs with Hillary Clinton or McCain in the lyrics. I guarantee you some alternative/punk artist has probably made something worse.
I’m really tired of this. Just think you guys, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to view the similarities. Ludacris, now why in the hell would he come out with this rap at the height of Obama’s campaign. He needs our positive, “shout your damn mouth and behave” support until he clinches this thing. Here you have Ludacris coming out with yet again controversy a la Jessie Jackson with this whack ***** controversial rap which only causes Obama to get away from his campaign and real issues to address this yet again more garbage. This is just a waste of good quality time he could be challenging McCain on the issues, if you haven’t noticed, the polls are close yall. What was Luda thinking? or was he caring or thinking as all. But, of course, the corporate executives, who run and control Luda felt this was the perfect time to put out this rap for controversy and distraction of Obama’s campaign. Luda didn’t help Obama one bit. That is what is going on in a nut shell. Luda was manipulated and didn’t even realize it. Shame on him!!! Now you know he could have put out this rap after the election. It apparently was beyond his control, because it is a bad time for this rap record to come out. I am so tired of once again those self serving, inconsiderate and corporate controlled Negroes. I will stop, and I hope you all will do the same, buying any type of rap or music including Ludacris’s rant, that is detrimental to Obama’s campaign until this campaign is over.

okkk, A whole lotta songs out there..AND noooobuddy cares…like we should do with this one, lets get to november and the real agenda…f*ck a luda lyric..
Damn 400+, well it least we’re talking about something
JMO-I overstand what Ludacris was doing, but we have to understand that we cannot resort to the same type tactics that White America has used
His statements will somehow be used against Obama and his march towards Penn Ave. Luda is too large of a figure in the music industry to put this song out there. White America will use this as ammo to attack Obama. We have to be more skillfull in our battles
@Realwoman:
Were you serious about your statement about black people not being happy they were born black?

Yes I am very serious. There are certain Blacks who just aren’t happy being Black. If SBM is truly Black he is one of them. Michael Jackson is another. I really do pity these people because IMO Black people are beautiful, strong, intelligent, kind, spiritual, blunt and damn sexy amongst other positive things.

The police are racist, they beat me down with a *****in nylon sack over my head and schackled me while they called me a n*gger, so Ya I ain’t feelin em. You don’t love being black. You love thinking you’re better than black people. You’re fake, and you’re a homo, everything about you is a falicy and a disgrace.
@ Realwoman
*How the hell did a post about Luda’s controversial lyrics turn into a blatant attack on Black women?*
SMGDH but I guess that I should not be suprised. You are right on point with your posts. Keep em coming sista.
lol yeh cops tend to be racist against drug dealers…Cry me a river clown…Man up
I don’t know how many rappers have said ***** bush. And they never laid it at the feet of the democratic party. But since Obama’s black I guess that means he had something to do with it? they’re prolly from the same projects? this is retarded.
@ strong black
I was never caught with drugs. They’re more racist against black BMW Drivers. If u were caking even a tenth as much as u front u’d know what I’m talking about and you’d hate the cops as much as I do, cause you’d get type cast right along with me. But the cops don’t target homos who pretend to be ballin while they sit in their mamas basement on her computer trying to hawk ***** pillow cases that *****ody wants or cares about. You’re a lame. Spray your noodles all over your *****in stash pillow.
@real
lol keep that fake hair in..I love being black first and foremost..I suggest we’d be better off leaving the ni____ of our community at home
_____________________________________________________
Yep *****ume that because I am a Black woman my hair must be fake. lol…and keep telling people what? You LOVE being Black when everything about Black people bothers you. Yah okay.
READ IT AND WEEP:
I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOVE FOR SELF AND FOR THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. The rest of you I will pray will never procreate and p***** this self hate onto anymore innocent children.
TRS, their hate has only succeeded in making us stronger since we are probably the only race of females on this earth that have been through so much. It is to the point where many of us thrive off of their hate of us. Now THAT is turning a negative into a positive. Stay ahead of them sister….
@ SBM
ok, smh @ you, how u a strong black BUSINESS man but tear down and belittle your PPL while u supposed to be puttin them on to prosperity??? You could of came in the posts on some making connects shyte if you about that money, a business man charms, instead you box’n out your ppl, and thats why we cant respect supporting blck business cuz you resort arrogance and its a turn off..black dollar and brain is worth something u using yours right? too busy tryn to stake claim on how we cant “get like you” when we should be helping each other, u couldve got opinions on your stuff that could help, cuz r u sure ppl want books, cell phones, keys and bottled water stuffed in a pillow? I dont want that shyt under my head unless i’m sure of the insulation and does it make it heavy? Is there a handle? Is it waterproof? I mean we could of pow wow’d with you and u could’ve walked out here maybe richer, ahead of the market and with some connects and friends.. or atleast some input to ponder.. this is your public opinion right here,
no wonder illuminate came at you like that cuz you put that man on defense of his *****, tearing down another black man cuz he aint moving the way you moving??? thats dead wrong SBM and disspointing.. UNITY is the word..You seem like a good dude too, come back from the darkside please…come on home suga..
“It is to the point where many of us thrive off of their hate of us. Now THAT is turning a negative into a positive.”
AMEN SISTA. AMEN!!!! Lately it seems like *SOME brothas on this site sit around and wait to pounce on a chance to vilify Black women. It’s disgusting and SAD that we have to deal with this from *SOME of our own men.
@ Wyze
Okay, so this is our chance at having the first black president elected. Are we gonna waste our time focusing on what someone said? True enough it wasn’t the best thing to do, but nonetheless we need to be more focused on AIDS, education, poverty, etc. We are spending too much time focusing on the negative and not the positive. And if I can remember correctly there is this thing called freedom of speech. With that being said, Luda voiced his opinion and it’s a big controversy? Why? No one has a straight answer for why…
Barack having a chance at being the first black president is irrelevant to what Luda did. If Barack is on top, then that’s where he’ll end up.
@Whodatsaid
lol you late on how this *****in contest began, so stop talkin
2nd. my team handles all the kinks of my products so relax boo and i never wanted to promote my business on this site, because in our community ain’t ***** but raggety ***** hatas..I kept it quiet cause I don’t need this promotion..lol 4 store distribution and they all selling well. I never mentioned it until the *****ing contest began and like I said “I never stop competing”…
“It is to the point where many of us thrive off of their hate of us. Now THAT is turning a negative into a positive.”

@ Whodat
trud dat whodat
this *****get ***** ***** could be using this site to get more biz but instead he’s just gaining enemies. I’m a business major and I’ve been self employed (not just illegally) for the past 4 years. I can tell you right now that this cat doesn’t know a *****in thing, and he lies about all his *****. The concept is decent, but not original. There are cheaper alternatives to his *****. e.g store.lotionspotionsvibes.com/23475.html
and secondly his product is a sex toy dominated market, He’s talking about stashing valuables in there. People lock their valuables. He’s just an arrogant punk who acts like he’s big time but he’s a *****in rookie, focused on one might I add *****ty product that he markets to the completely wrong people in the completely wrong way
@ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE
ok i really had to laugh at the vitalago part…LOL.
Ludracris’ “rap” is ludicrous.
It’s OK have a political stance, but the sexism and misogyny (which Hillary and many women in power talk about) have NO place in the political arena.
Senator Clinton has done more during her time in government to help black people (whites, hispanics, asian, for that matter, too) than Ludracris ever will. Why exactly is Hillary a *****? I would love to know specific examples of what she’s said or done that cl*****ify as ‘*****y’.
Whether it’s a black rapper or white country music star spreading hate through their music, it’s ALL WRONG and it’s NOT OK.
As a black man, I am appalled. Kudos to Senator Obama for denouncing this absurdity.
@real
who are you?
I like the song, but it was a poor choice of words and at the wrong time. BLACK PEOPLE who support OBAMA need to sit down and spectate of they cannot find more creative ways to endorse him. This kind of attack, while I’m sure it was heartfelt, just puts BARRACK in the awkward position of condemning LUDA then of course causing some of the more reactionary Blacks to yell “SELLOUT”. Which Obama is not. He is a politician, first and foremost.
I also agree with Obama about the lyrical content of HIP HOP these days. I was watching SWEET TEE ‘On the Smooth Tip’ and SLICK RICK ‘Hey Young World’ and it was good, clean and sexy (I love me some Sweet Tee and her dancers in that video) fun without one BLEEP or ***** in either song. BLACK MEN who instruct or glamorize coping out and selling out by DRUG DEALING and degrading our most precious resource ‘THE BLACK WOMAN’ are idiots and should be treated like or worst than the common PIMP, CHILD MOLESTER or SNITCH. They are no better and in the end, all promote the destruction of OUR PEOPLE and OUR CULTURE.
Again…
DRUG DEALER = Government agent.
PIMP = Rapist or Pedophile.

@prince
lol why you mad son? Get out of that pine tree dominated region and relocate somewhere nice. Lol colder than a mother*****a up there I bet
o i forgot putting his ***** in non chain stores that no ones ever heard of, all in one place. Who’s your team your momma and your auntie? o and
@ mr. anderson I never fully got back at chu on that ludacris can rhyme about what he wants *****. Ludacris can say what he wants when he wants about who he wants, and if people don’t vote for a candidate based on a ludacris lyric, then they are retarded. it’s that simple. They are foolish and don’t have any concept of what they are taking part in.
Luda’s over 30! GROW THE ***** UP! WHY WOULD YOU BE SO STUPID? THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING! DON’T YOU KNOW THAT YOU SOUND IGNORANT!? I LIKED YO AZZ AT ONE POINT. I’M DOWN FOR THE ATL ALL THE WAY, BUT THIS DUMB AZZ ***** IS WRONG IN SO MANY WAYS! MIXING POLITICS WITH YOUR IGNORANT RANTS!? PERSONALLY THE HIP HOP GANGSTER ***** IS GETTING OLD. WE ARE IN A RECESSION , AND THE HELL IF I’M GOING TO SPEND MY MONEY ON CRAP LIKE THIS! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!I UNDERSTAND AND RELATE TO HIP HOP BUT WITH THE IGNORANCE OF JESSIE JACKSON, THE FOUL MOUTH CRAZINESS THAT CAME FROM COMEDIAN BERNIE MAC WHEN HE ALLOWED HIM TO INTRODUCE HIM…..AND NOW THIS! POOR MAN HAS TO DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST ONE THING AFTER THE NEXT! ARE THERE ANY INTELLIGENT, COMMON SENSED BLACK FOLK THAT CAN SEPERATE THE CORRECT AND INCORRECT TIME FOR CERTAIN DIALOUGE. THIS FOOLISHNESS IS SO INAPPROPRIATE FOR THIS CRUCIAL TIME IN HIS CAMPAIGN. HE HAS NOT WON IT YET! WHY NOT PUT OUT SOMETHING POSITIVE LIKE BIG BOI DID WITH THE HOOK WITH MARY J. I DON’T UNDERSTAND HIM. HIS MAMA SHOULD’VE STOPPED HIM.ONE DAY LUDA TRIES TO PLAY IT UP LIKE HE IS POSITIVE,(THE SONG HE DID WITH MARY J BLIGE FOR THE RUN AWAY KIDS…) THEN HE PULLS THIS DUMB *****! I’LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER LUDA CD AGAIN! NOR WILL I BUY ANYTHING FROM DISTURBING DA PEACE!
@ SBM
I first starting buying properties in British Columbia, it’s pretty nice there, mountains huge trees walking distance to the pacific ocean. But I don’t mind the cold, so I moved back east where I’m from. If I wanted to I could move to the warmth but I choose not to, the cold doesn’t bother me really.
@ Man I don’t care

there was once a time when Obama would’ve Killed for ludacris to spit some ***** like this in a rhyme, just so he could get the press. Now he’s 2 hollywood? Fame done blown this *****s dome up. Obama bring back something for the hood *****!
———-
ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE
Neither Obama or any other intellignetBlack person would or should allow anyone to degrade women, elderly or other races. Haven’t we learned anything from segregation….? Oh I forgot, many of the young Blacks of today wouldn’t know their history if it bit them in the a**. Maybe that’s problem for the ignorance.
I don’t wanna have 2 send one of my *****s down, they’d get lost on the *****in grey hound and they *****in *****’d bring the ***** back smellin like weed and cigarettes, if they didn’t end up gettin locked before they p***** montana
You can’t be “disrespected” by a rap song. That’s just ludacriss to think so.
Man I just don’t care…I knew there was something about you….now you confirmed it. Thanks.
Anywho, I think it would be wise to steer clear of these negative Blacks trying to *****imilate into white society by being disgusted with their own race. There actually are plenty of Black organizations geared toward uplifting other Blacks who have given up. I am part of one and suggest that those of you who are interested in that look for these types of organizations in your communities. If one doesn’t exist start it up.
The one I am a part of really encourages Black owned businesses and us frequenting those businesses through networking. They also do periodic do*****entary screenings, volunteer work, charity drives, educational seminars and much more benefitting those in some of our forgotten communities. I truly believe that surrounding yourself with positive NON SELF-HATING individuals will always cause you to succeed in ANY community. I am glad I don’t have to look to another race for pride. Aren’t you?
@ tracie
u right, 2 many *****s don’t really care about females n *****. Obama is right in what he’s sayin but i don’t think he’s appreciative enough of luda for what he was trying to do, I don’t think luda was tryin to hurt his campaign. It’s like when u give a kid a pack and he comes back a bit short you don’t gotta kill the ***** for tryin, just work with the ***** and draw the potential out of him.
@ Man I dont Care
I guess you haven’t been reading through these posts, particularly the ones that RealWoman was responding to because it is quite obvious who was engaging in the vilifying. In addition, it is not a laughing matter so kill the LOL because I’m not feeling it.
NO, I don’t know…so humor me. What exactly were you referring to? To me, it appeared as if you were being facetious in response to my comment, especially when you consider your comment about rappers, which had NOTHING to do with the subject at hand.
@realwoman
I bet you did “know there was something about me”
by all means put them into words LOL
@ Realwoman
What is the name of this organization? I am VERY interested in establishing something like this in my community. Can you provide any additional info?
@Prince
lol my boy runs that show. But thats where I cop from..
On the Porsche tip, man they hard to come by unless you in Miami and I have no connects down there with whips. Only thing coming through is a ‘Boxter” and we all know that ain’t a “Porsche”
As for your *****s, lol man you can’t be smoking in the whip..park that *****, post up and enjoy the traffic for 5 minutes.
@trs
“I guess you haven’t been reading through these posts, particularly the ones that RealWoman was responding to because it is quite obvious who was engaging in the vilifying. In addition, it is not a laughing matter so kill the LOL because I’m not feeling it.”
Well I don’t have anything to do with what you feeling. If it’s so “obvious” about this villification some poster were doing… just point em out.
“NO, I don’t know…so humor me. What exactly were you referring to? To me, it appeared as if you were being facetious in response to my comment, especially when you consider your comment about rappers, which had NOTHING to do with the subject at hand.”
The rapper comment was facetious, but only to point out the sword you and real woman keep swinging cuts both ways…
I guess all the “I hate myself” and the like are on the way LOL
@ SBM
them *****s won’t listen, They’ll come back n my *****’ll b all ashy on the interior still they’ll be talkin about the windows was down. Ya I mean I would only ***** wit a 911. I got a dude up here 2 that tho, he just got links at dealerships all around North America he doesn’t keep stock. Those r some good prices on that SUV tip, I’ma have 2 c if the dude I got now is *****in wit ne of that cuz I don’t wanna get ripped off
@ SBM,
I didnt know I had to be on time..but ok…the ***** still lingering cuz you still talking out the side of your neck.and set a horrible tone for yourself, that didnt even need to be, but ok…You aint got time etc…. yOu BETTA have time for ALL YO PPL, you never know WHO’s on these boards…smh… you a wild boy…
I’m just sayin is all….you did stroll up in here equipped wit a link, and you could actually learn alot on all sides, but ok.. will not argue with ignorance..but much luck with yer venture, it was an interesting start.
@ Mr. Anderson
if u wanna know what acting white is just read SBM’s comments in every blog he’s in. I just mean like, don’t like hip hop dress in preppy *****, talk like they’re trying to write a paper for school, always on some superiority *****, especially when it comes to other black people
@ILLUMINATITHEPRINCE
But SBM is necessary. Everyone on this board is necessary because every perspective is authentic the to the eyes of that particular person. It ultimately shapes their view of right and wrong in our culture. We all notice things that someone else doesn’t.
I have a big a problem with the phrase “acting white” because it carries such a negative and narrow minded connotation. “Acting white” also infers that one can “act black” or “act (insert race here)”. You see where I’m going with this?
All that notwithstanding, I think I understand you now …. you don’t like pompous, arrogant and condecending people and you *****ociate that behavior with white people. You hate it 10x’s more when it’s a black person doing it because you see it as hatred of self.
The importance of words can not be overstated. Ignorant people are just that … regardless of color. As are arrogant people, condescending people, intelligent etc, etc. I’ve never heard anyone say to an intelligent person, “There you go acting all Chinese/Asian and *****!”
Black people are boundless. Scratch that, PEOPLE are boundless, our capacity is infinite as we are ALL creatures of the Most Glorius, Most Merciful and Most Magnificent.
Race relations in America is a very tricky and delicate subject that must be handled with care and astute diligence.
Swayze…
@ Man I don’t care
Look, all you have to do is READ THE POSTS THAT REALWOMAN WAS RESPONDING TOO. Why do I have to point these out for you?
How am I swinging a “sword?” Please! I notice that you have said absolutely NOTHING about the comments about Black women that were insulting and derogatory (IE “fake hair”, etc.) yet you are quick to jump on Realwoman and I for speaking up in the Black woman’s defense. So typical….yet so unfortunate.
Did I say that you “hate yourself?” Did I say that you hate Black women?” Give me a break!!!! Don’t put words in my mouth my brotha!
*Rolling me eyes*
911 is nice. I’ve never been a huge fan of Porsche cause of the “Boxter’..they *****ed that up..a 35,000 porsche?? lol don’t make sense.
Yeh SUV’s do well down here. Black GMC was gone quick, I saw it and said it was a rap..
I know in Canada you prally seen it already..The new Jaguars?? They stepped up on that tip.
There’s one car that just has my mind in a grip..Maserati! Man my boy copped a 645bmw and I was like
“you should take that back and get Maserati, since you wanna stunt”
it’s the same price

I’m thinkin once my properties sell I’ma copp a *****in 99 porsche 911 then just do the ***** up right, T.V.’s wit actual signal like hundreds of channels, computer, 15 eclipse titanium, lambo doors, asanti gator rims 7500Watt 2500 rms kicker amp eclipse titanium 6×9 speaks, wit the 950 watt speaker amp, camera in the whip alarm system with engine cut off, turbo, intake, HID headlights, it’s gonna be a good look. But the thing is with Canada I can’t drive the ***** in the winter, so that Escalade would be a good *****in look for a winter whip
@ illuminate,
I feel you, and I felt you totally yesterday just was heading out and didnt have time to comment b/c that was absolutely uncalled for…
Now why u aint illuminate the KING? lol cuz you annihilated the kid! lol
@Prince
lol that’s what i’m sayin..that cold weather ain’t my swag..V-necks all day everyday…But up North and you way up North, ya’ll swag is different. I do like girls dressed up though and the females up there do dress there *****es off everywhere they go..

Good post family. Much appreciated
Im incredibly disappointed in that guy. Apart from his obligatory derogatory party bangers, I could have sworn he was one of the more intelligent rappers

Ya I mean I had 2 get him, They call me prince cuz i have that heir about me, I don’t need the responsibility of the throne, I just stay playboy’d up. But as fast as I get at a ***** I squash it that fast too, especially when it’s another black male. White boys it can be different cause I can’t trust them after beef but a ***** I can squash it wit quick

Calm down over there, sound like you are about to burst a blood vessel. I bet if I had been physically near you I would have been knocked out by now (kidding).
I didn’t say you “had” to point it out, I asked that you point it out. Yeah, I recall some of the statements by whoever that was made about fake hair etc. It had some truth to it. Some women do have fake hair…. get over it. IF ONE PERSON WAS MAKING THE COMMENT THAN WHY EVEN STATE ANYTHING ABOUT “SOME” BLACK MEN, LOL. Please…..
Some black women are *****es and hoes, that’s just how it is. Just like some people “hate” themselves and all that other mess. You and “Real Woman” were quick to set up tent under that “defending” of the black woman against “some” black men and all that for nothing.
Have you ever seen a commercial for a Ferrari car? No, they don’t have to because it’s a Ferrari and they don’t need to “convince or persuade” through words. You either like it and have the funds or you don’t. She pointed out some “villification” and so did I so what’s the problem?
**(don’t waste time explaining the Ferrari business model.LOL)**

@ Mr. Anderson
well said but I don’t really feel u. I see people act white, and act black all the time, so I can’t really feel all that.
Well, I personally don’t think Obama should apologize for NOTHING! He didn’t write it, rap it, or promote it. McCain didn’t apologize for the “Curious George” shirts, did he? Although, I love me some LUDA, maybe this wasn’t the right time to come at ‘em with this. He has free speech and all but why add gas to a burning fire. We all know they looking for ANY&EVERYTHING to throw at OBAMA so don’t give ‘em any more ammunition. Maybe LUDA was just tryin to appeal to the fans who may NOT care about voting and this could POSSIBLY CHANGE their minds. OK imma stop trying to defend “MY MAN”.
@Whodatsaid
if you havent notice we shut the hate up for a moment and started talkin cars..Keep window shopping and don’t address my name..Simple as that

ya the *****in exotic rare ***** gets the *****es. Like I see dudes in lotus’ n they gotta *****in scrape ho’s off they *****. This one cat got a bentley and the *****s r just nuts when he slides through, his man’ll borrow it and he’s *****in with the hour. But some whips just seem off limits for young *****s, like lambo murcielago (cant spell it) I see that roll through and the dude in it looks like *****in mr. monopoly. It’s all paint these days too. You get a homie with a paint shop n it’s *****in stunt 101 all a sudden

I believe it. I’m a sucka for accents and different cultures…High maintenance broads scare though cause I don’t like paying for *****, except for me. If i’ve earned it, I should enjoy it
And someone stated that LUDA was unintelligent. I don’t know if that was meant literally or not, but just for the record, he did attend and graduate from a 4 year university. So, unless you are an athlete or effing the professors, you have to have SOME brains cause everybody can’t achieve that.
@ man i just don’t care
how u gonna drop a mill and a half on a *****in whip. that ***** is stupid, I respect it, but If I had that kinda coin I still wouldn’t even drop it on that, It’s like buyin a 1.5 million dollar gold statue of your yourself, ya it gives you status but how are you ever going to liquidate that kind of a liability?
@ SBM
I heard that the real *****es is in Quebec, they french n *****, but *****in FINE. Like I wanna slide through *****in Montreal and just mash everything left right and centre, but wifey would be waiting with the 9 if I rampaged like that
“Bugatti is the ultimate dude. Looking at you Scott Storch.”

the Lambo is crazy. If i could ever afford something like that i probably wouldn’t buy lol..I couldn’t drive something, I possibly could’ve bout another house with. Same with the Bentley even though you look like a mother*****ing star in it.

Some fool got a $1.5 mil for “60 something” GTO. Somebody said it before, it’s all about being exclusive.
I agree with those that stated we, Blacks, are the ONLY race in the world where actions of one are attached to ALL of us.
This part is to Ludacriss: WHY in hell did you do this?!!? you have, in the past, appeared to be intelligent; you had to have known that your “rap”
would cause a firestorm- and NOT in galvanizing but polarizing support for mr. obama! people are looking for ANY excuse to diminish this man! and, you can’t say that it was taken out of context,i.e. rev.wright ! this man has had secret service following him from day 1 because of death threats on him & his family because of racist, insidious elements that wants him gone at any/all costs! if they could get to reagen, ford, why the hell don’t you think that he can’t be gotten to ?!!?
is your career so slow, not been in the public eye for a minute, that this is the only way that you can get attention? all bad news ain’t neccessarily
better than no news!!!!!!!!!!!
i have to wonder what your motives were…… did the powers-that-be ( whom don’t want him to win for very obvious reasons) PAY you to do this?
man up— NOW IS THE TIME TO OPEN YOUR PIE HOLE !!!
Actually my abosolute favorite is the Bentley GT. That thing is a work of art….
It probably won’t value or appreciate like say a rare Ferrari or Lamborghini but….
@ man i just
ya but how often do bugati’s come up at auction. Maybe in huge cities in the states n *****, but up here you’re lucky to see something decent in an auction, like you’ll get a newer F150 for 10g’s, don’t get me wrong auctions are good if you wanna get a chevy cavalier for 500 bucks, but I don’t c 2 many bugati’s on the auction block
@ Man I don’t care
Don’t get it twisted my man. Your opinion is not so important that I would “bust a blood vessel” over it. LOL
I am FULLY aware that some Black women wear fake hair, so I don’t need to “get over” anything. I took offense to the insinuation that Real woman had “fake hair” simply because she is Black. Get it? And FYI, that wasn’t the only offensive statement made, but I won’t bother to point those out to you if you can’t see for yourself.
I am fully aware that *some* Black women are *****es and hoes, just as I am aware that *some* Black men are low down, no good, trifiling ***** *****s who sleep around and sire numerous babies with every thing that has two legs and an accomodating hole so your point is moot at best.
You point out that “You and “Real Woman” were quick to set up tent under that “defending” of the black woman against “some” black men and all that for nothing.”
I can say the same for YOU since you are so quick to defend Black men as a whole when my comments were directed at *SOME* and therefore, you are the proverbial “pot calling the kettle black!”
If you are not one of the “SOME” Black men that I was referring too, then why are you so quick to “set up a tent in defense?” Frankly, you insinuated yourself into Realwoman and I’s conversation about comments that offended US.
For the record, I don’t have a “problem.” I am expressing my opinion just as you have done. You have a right to do so..but I have that same right as well.
“I heard that the real *****es is in Quebec, they french n *****, but *****in FINE. Like I wanna slide through *****in Montreal and just mash everything left right and centre, but wifey would be waiting with the 9 if I rampaged like that”
—————————————————-
Man I met this black and french mixed chick…Straight fire. Had me stutterin and *****. My cool went right out the door..She was gorgeous then she could carry a convo..Of course her man walked up and sat right by her when he saw us talking..I told her to come up stairs and have a drink, but he wasn’t havin that..tsk jealous
@ SBM
huh?
@ sbm
if I had the money i’d get a lambo, like if I had 10 mill I’d buy a lambo for 500k,
@ Man i just
ya i see those auctions on T.V. for that cl*****ic car *****. Jay leno has crazy whips, but 2 me it’s like dumb 2 spend all that coin on a cl*****ic it’s not my look so I don’t get it. The *****in Rolls Phantom is so *****in ugly and You need a driver for that *****, but dudes copp just cause the price tag
whatev, I guess the MENz are talking…lol
If you got money to cop a 645BMW get a Maserati..If you got enough money to cop a 745BMW get a Bentley..***** on a $100,000 car what’s $20,000 more..Thats why I laugh at BMW crowd..Straight foolishness
Man..you just don’t care who vilified us and that is fine because I really don’t care that you gleefully scrolled past those comments and read ours instead. I am actually happy that you ignored them. HOWEVER THEY WERE STILL THERE.
@ SBM
I’m tellin u son french *****es r *****in fine, But they’re *****in weird. Hella permiscuous 2, I wouldn’t wifey 1
I have a big a problem with the phrase “acting white” because it carries such a negative and narrow minded connotation. “Acting white” also infers that one can “act black” or “act (insert race here)”.
*****************************************************
Man, I just don’t care
I agree with you, on the CNN special Black in America 2nd part The Black Man, there was a black guy who came from a wealthy family his dad was a superintendent and his mom was a judge and of course his parents put him and his 2 brothers in the best private schools, and they lived in a mostly white upper cl***** neighborhood.Because of his high education and up bringing he spoke really well and educated and of course all of the dumb negros picked on him and called him white and made fun of him..He was completely ostrazised by blacks throuh out school and never fitted in, and as a result of that he’s now a successful DA and married to a white woman.
You see, we take our intelligent black brotha’s and sista’s and make them feel like outcast for being intelligent then when they’re successful and end up going out of their race to be accepted we call them sell outs when we’re the ones who turned them away, that’s why I hate the term “Acting White”..Why does intelligence and professionalism has to be *****ociated with being white..It’s a shame we celebrate ignorant ***** rappers and ball players but not the young person with the genius level I.Q., and good grades.
That’s what I mean, I know this kid who’s dad is *****in loaded, and he buys the stupidest *****. Like a BMW X7 for a 100 g’s, I’m like r u stupid? I see those and I don’t even look twice, I honestly don’t even think they’re that nice for what they cost. And his dad also bought a BMW then Got lambo seats put in it. It looks *****in retarded, I’m like What Are you doing? BMW is *****in played already, Even benz M series suv’s r *****in played now. I wanna ***** on these *****s with a right hand drive tho
Cl*****ics are okay..Down here in Florida during the Cl*****ic game they come out..it’s all about the paint, but I don’t like the rims and *****…Anything over 20’s is excess and you should probably ditch that Chevy..I just think the Cl*****ic car cats look young..Jay Leno re-living his childhood fantasies.
Seinfeld, Jerry I hear has the craziest Porsche collection there is..I can’t believe he made all that money from that show.
@ illuminate THE PRINCE…that’s w*****up.
See trs..the difference between your statement and the statement of SBM is that you didn’t choose to make ALL Black men the culprit unlike him and his crony. Maybe man i just don’t care is just one of those who doesn’t get offended by the disrespect and demeaning of Black women. Maybe he only chooses to see the causes of Black men for whatever reason…preference maybe? Who knows.
All I know is that I love BLACK MEN, BLACK WOMEN, BLACK BABIES ALL EQUALLY. I will defend the good in those categories and those who want to be good in the same categories. If he wants to, he can defend just one segment too, just don’t do it at the cost of another.
I agree with what I read at least one other person said Barack could have and should have ignored this. Why are some people ac like Ombama is the second coming of Christ. Aint ***** going to change rather he is elected president or not. Now yes It will be great to have the first black president and I do support him over Mccain, but politics are always about choosing the lesser of two evils point blank. If elected president Obama will only effect as much change as the powerful corporations that really run this country will allow

—————————————————
Like I said, we have been hi-jacked by ignorance and uneducated mother*****ers. If black people were equal to white people on education, Obama wouldn’t have this much hype, but we have allowed rappers and cats who spit at the camera in public to not only be our voices but our norms
@ SMB
seinfeld has some sick garage full of porsches, with like elavators that cycle through his porsche collections and it’s like a penthouse in there but when you got money like seinfeld you don’t give a ***** you want the best.
@wyze
This has been my fear since Barack started running…I KNEW they would look at everything every black man does from that point till the election to try and squeeze Obama for responsibility….and this goes to show that ones actions affects others even if you are not directly connected to those actions…every time a black man does something stupid they lean over to Obama and ask what’s up with your people?…..it makes them question whether or not they trust one of us to lead…which is all bull*****…but it is what it is….that’s why I try to represent on a whole ova notha….cause I know for every body that gets whatever impression i’m trying to put out….they understand that I cant be the only one that stand walk talk and act like a real man…..black people rise up…get some pride….handle your business …and lets make these moves…to hell with stayin low ..keepin it real….bein hood …and holdin it down…..up up up..let’s do this!!!

@ Realwoman
“If he wants to, he can defend just one segment too, just don’t do it at the cost of another.”
Girl you are reading my mind! I cosign with your comments 1000% percent. I have only seen TWO brothas on this site defend the sistas when *some of these brothas cast aspersions on the character of the black woman. When we respond, all of a sudden we are attacking “all” Black men.
I think a lot of being accepted as a black male has to do with your athletic ability. At first *****ody really gives a ***** about you and they think you’re dumb or a criminal, but once they see you can run fast jump high, and lift a lot of weights suddenly they worship you

_____________________________________________________Damn, you STILL seem angry. LOL
If certain people said something negative about “Real Woman” than why not address those people. **laughing** Nowhere did he say ALL black women have fake hair. LOL, he made a comment about her hair and she ran right into “some brothers” lol. Please… Maybe she’s insecure about her hair I don’t know.
As far as “jumping” in the conversation I guess we both the proverbial “pot call the kettle black” since you jumped in singing AMEN to Real Woman. Even though it’s ok whether I jumped in or not.
Well if you agree that “some” black women are hoes, down low, drug addicts and spreading HIV etc why not include that in your AMEN praise? I simply added that in and you responded to me.
It’s ok though.
Can you blame a cat who has faced opposition from people who look exactly like him? He said “***** it”…Much like Tiger, Cuba and whatever celebrity that decided to date outside his race..They didn’t just wake up one day and say “I want something different”. It started when he was young. Now we got a District Attorney who is prosecuting most likely a large segment of black males with a chip on his shoulder…Can we blame him?
Or do we praise Obama who most likely was picked on by the few blacks he encountered growing up, decided to stick in there and tough it out? Either way the “Hate” is sickening..We the only goddamn race that hates on people doing anything remotely sane or decent.
Hate and feeling excluded is the reason to stray. I can’t blame them, cause my whole life, from my upbringing and to now, graduated college, doing my thing, still got *****s back home sayin “you ain’t *****”..You right “I ain’t *****”…I’m doing the things your favorite rapper that you glorify is doing…Stuntin.
Is it me or are all black women overly sensitive about weaves? Y’all wear a *****in dead squirell on y’all head then you get mad when *****s laugh at it. I swear I never have and never will ***** wit no weave wearing female. Can’t stand that *****.

I never disagreed with you. I just added to what you were saying. I call a spade a spade.
I think ALL of you are missing the point!
I understand what Ludacris was trying to do…although i thought the song was stupid as hell!!!BUT what’s truly happening is that Obama is a sell out *****!!! So you all are okay with this man making Bush, Clinton, and McCain happy? that’s the only reason why he’s doing it…the ONLY reason why he’s condeming the rap song. Obama is an ***** kisser and its sad that you all want him for president! NO THANK YOU!!! Both him and McCain can kick rocks!!!
Neither one of them is helping this country! SAME ***** DIFFERENT *****HOLE! Wake up people!!! MARTIAL LAW IS NEAR and your boy Obama is down with it!!!
*****s gonna hate, one thing *****s gonna always do is hate, won’t never change. It don’t matter, as soon as a fresher ***** come in they hate on the former cat who was “that *****”. Look at al sharpton and Jesse Jackson, *****s used 2 suck they *****s, now that obama is that *****, don’t *****ody ***** wit them *****ty ***** *****s, thank god johnny cochrane died cause his ol *****ty ***** would b gettin hated on two, ol stuck together top and bottom lip ***** *****. 50 said it, if they hate then let em hate and watch the money pile up. And that’s all you can do
@ Man I don’t care
Whether or not I seem “angry” to you is of no consequence to me. Your perception is your perception…but that doesn’t make it a reality.
Clearly the “fake hair” comment and the other comments went over your head and at this point, I am with real woman…”I don’t care” that you choose to ignore or condone them. Keep doing YOU because I can promise you that I will keep doing ME.
Some Black men are ” hoes, down low, drug addicts and spreading HIV etc” so what is your point? Why didn’t you add that to YOUR “amen phrase?” You keep trying to throw stones at *some Black women while ingnoring the fact that the “sword you keep swing works both ways.” *Laughing
Bottom line is that I see that you and I are going to have to agree to disagree. This is a fruitless conversation because you refuse to see where I am coming from. You would rather think of a me as a hater of Black men when it is the farthest thing from the truth. I am simply one strong Black woman standing up for another. You can continue to choose to “set up a tent” in defense of Black men because that is your right. I promise that I will do the same and I have no qualms about doing so!!!!
@ NWO
***** please. All that NWO taking over ***** is *****in fugaisy and ain’t *****ody tryin 2 hear it. If it happens it happens fam, ranting and raving like a *****in psycho ain’t gonna do nothing. Quit hating on Obama like you know the *****, and Obama isn’t doing ***** for mcain’s bennefit. He’s just trying to set an example that he’s above that street *****, and truly a ***** like Obama should be above that street *****, I just think that He coulda left it alone cause he doesn’t have to have this kinda ***** laid at his feet, especially when luda was tryin 2 support him the only way he knows how

i know its off topic but I was reading superheads second book last night, which isn’t as good as the first one, and she was sayin that there’s homo’s out there tryin 2 get aids, barebackin dudes inviting hiv positive people to parties and going in bare. Is that 4 serious? The states is all *****ed up if it is. Gotdamn.
@ Man I don’t care
Now you are just engaging in childish *****ery PERIOD. Who said you were “down low?” Where the hell did that come from? You are so off the mark with that comment. LMGDAO. You INSIST on putting words in other people’s mouths. NO ONE in here insulted you, yet you displayed a base amount of cl***** by hurling insults. Your comment that “Yet you and TRS damn near *****ing each other in here” was gauche, uncouth, and inappropriate. How unfortunate.
I won’t stoop to your level by attempting to debase you as you have just done, but I can say this: Grow the hell up!! I thought that we were engaging in a healthy, intelligent debate but clearly you are not up to the task.

It’s ok though.

Whoa whoa brother…I never ever insinuated anything even remotely homosexual in my statement. I was under the impression that you preferred to defend Black men simply because you are one. Now all that homoerotic stuff you brought OUT OF NOWHERE is ummm well you know. Not going to touch it. I am not one of those who thinks that every Black man is gay like you apparently do.
You are still my brother and I will not disrespect you the way you have me but I will say that if the demeaning of Black women doesn’t bother you at all and the demeaning of Black men has brought all this anger in you then maybe you are also one who needs to seek the help I was talking about above. It is not healthy to be this angry for no reason.

___________________________________________________
I never said “demeaning of black women” doesn’t offend me. That being said obviously we don’t agree with what is “offensive.”
No, I didn’t take whoever that was that said the thing about the hair serious. And thus I was not offended. When you took that statement and responded with a statement about “SOME” black men instead of the individual that made the remark I added, with some sarcasm, that there is also “SOME” black women with “negative” attributes since you didn’t.
I guess you could explain how you determined that to mean I “condone” anything negative to black women.
I admit, I responded with a lot of sarcasm that I guess was misinterpted. I was cracking up the whole time but I guess you were taking it all literally.
lol @ illuminate the PRINCE for squirrel heads..

“I just love how people make offensive comments and then attempt to brush them off by saying “Oh I was just joking” or “don’t take it seriously.” I have engaged in conversation with several Black men who have not disrespcted me. You are not one of them. It is what it is.”
____________________________________________________
something tells me you “love” a lot of people because you are ALWAYS offended.
Yup, it is what it is. Real Woman made a broad comment about “Some” Black Men and I did the same about “Some” Black Women.
Not much more to it than that the some people getting offended….
No, I didn’t take whoever that was that said the thing about the hair serious. And thus I was not offended. When you took that statement and responded with a statement about “SOME” black men instead of the individual that made the remark I added, with some sarcasm, that there is also “SOME” black women with “negative” attributes since you didn’t.
____________________________________________________
Would you mind showing me where I said ’some black men’ in the context of something negative about their personal appearance? I’ve reread what I wrote numerous times and can’t seem to find it. Find it and I will explain what I meant.
Thanks for the support TRS. I still don’t see where I disrespected ManIdontcare but whatever. HE seems to be the angry one to me…
oh damn there’s fighting all over these posts, BOssip look what you started!

@ Man I don’t care
I am simply stating that by saying nothing about the derogatory comment that was directed at Realwoman and I, you were inadvertantly condoning it. You ignored all of that but pounced on Realwoman and I for much less of an offense. See what I mean?
You are more than welcome for the blessing. In spite of what you may think, I do not wish any ill will on you. We have outside enemies that are praying for our downfall and therefore, I wish nothing but the best for my people.
@ Man IDC
I am not always offended. I just call it like I see it and I am not ashamed to do so. By now I am sure that it is pretty obvious though.

Thanks for the info! I am going to make note of that because it sounds VERY uplifting. We need something like that on campus. Do you know where I would be able to obtain any information on how to establish a local chapter?
And you are more than welcome for the support. I love ALL my sistas and therefore, I will always speak up if I feel that someone is coming out of pocket towards one of them!
I don’t see where anyone disrespected him either…but sadly, you can’t say the same for you and me.

Now onto the ***** debate. Not a word that is rampant in my vocabulary. It seems now it is being used to describe the ignorant, disadvantaged, poor, uneducated who happen to be Black? Well excuse me if I do not jump on the ***** bandwagon. My parents didn’t use the word in my household. Seems some are offended if you don’t use it along with them?
@ RealWoman
Girl you had me rolling with “so continue your riveting conversation about luxury cars and I will continue mine (and be mindful to KEEP staying away from your ‘***** mans’ *****) mmkay sweetie?” I FELL OUT. I decided to let that one ride because I try not to “show my *****” in public. LOL
I think that I am going to take your stance on the matter. Why can’t we all just get along?
Thanks for the info on YPN. I will contact the Urban league and go from there because I think it would do a world of good. Lord knows that we all need to put forth our best efforts to enhance and uplift our communities!
I agree with Chrissy. I voted for Barack in the primary and I think he is the best man for the job, but had he not won, we all would’ve been voting for Hillary so I think the extreme disses on her are too much. I love Ludacris, but Obama had no choice but to distance himself from the song’s lyrics. If he is going to be president, he can’t give off an appearance of agreeing or accepting comments like that, even if he himself did not put it out there. OBAMA 08!!!

Good Point REALWOMAN,
I never thought of it that way, I try not to use the word but I am guilty of using it sometimes..I try to refere to the unintelligent as IGNORANT NEGROs as oppose to calling them *****’s but sometimes the word ***** comes out.
You know how that goes girrrlll….this is why I ONLY surround myself with conscious brothers. They are the TRUTH and keep me afloat when dealing with this other nonsense.
Make sure you get involved and try to spend at least 15% of every dollar spent in Black establishment…and try to increase it every month, year or whatever but support our POSITIVE PRIDEFUL brothers and sisters.
“I am simply stating that by saying nothing about the derogatory comment that was directed at Realwoman and I, you were inadvertantly condoning it. You ignored all of that but pounced on Realwoman and I for much less of an offense. See what I mean? ”

Yeah, I see exactly what you mean. At least your perception of it. It looks like you made an *****umption (as Real Woman typed it) that because I didn’t AMEN as well with you I must have been for the other person.

If Real Woman already responded to the post about the hair AND with you saying AMEN then why would I add my two cents as well?

@ Realwoman
To me, the use of the word “*****” refers to an ignorant person of ANY race. I have seen Latinos use it in reference to other Latinos, just as Black folks use it as a term for “ignorant” Black folks who do nothing to contribute to the elevation of our race. It is also used as a term of endearment.
Is it right to use it? There’s the rub. I don’t know if we can ever collectivly answer that question. It depends on the individual. I can admit that I have used the word, but I dont’ get offended when others don’t use it.

Luda was being himself. Every since Barack stated that he was running for President we (black people) must be on our P’s and Q’s. The truth is that we as a people have dropped the ball and you can’t expect people to change on the drop of a dime because “Da Man” is watching us now. He was watching us before when we were acting a damn fool killing each other, ignorant ***** rap songs (not all rap) and any other stupid ***** we did.
Another thing that bugs me is everyone saying they agree with what Luda, Rev Wright etc. but they should have waited until after Barack gets in office. Sooooooo once he gets inaugurated it will be okay for black people to start showing their *****es again?

i don’t get it when erykah badu’s ol’ crack head ***** says it n i don’t get it comin from u either, but I’ll take that as a maybe.

@ Man IDC
I didn’t *****ume anything. You never said anything about your friend’s comment other than “thanks,” and that is fact not an *****umption. IMO it was degrading, inappropriate, and full of derogatory language. Although you said otherwise, it looked like you skirted past that and “thanked” him for it. That is what I was refering to and that is my point. It’s cool though.
At any rate, as I said before, I have nothing at all against you brotha. I stood up for me and mine and you did the same. I will continue to stand up for my sistas of QUALITY and you continue to do the same for the REAL BLACK MEN of substance out there. Deal?
*Extending my hand for you to shake*
*****…
That’s a two part discussion. Part cultural and part
etymology.
It is a fact words change definition over time. If a large enough amount of the population accepts the “new” definition than it becomes fact.
“Bad” means good
“*****got”-homosexual male now, was originally *****ot-bundle of twigs
“Cool”-referred to the tempature, now it is a state of mind as well
I wonder why people accept that some words change definition over time but choose not to acknowledge the new definition of other words.

Perhaps your reading skills aren’t too good than. I thanked him for telling you and Real Woman to leave me alone. Not for any comment about black women.
If you are taking his words “offensively” (or anyone else’s,directly or not) than that’s on you because I can’t control that.
I guess you were skirting when you didn’t make any comments about black women, yet claiming AMEN against “Some” black men. That’s why I chimed in. If you took “offense” to that then again, that’s on you because I can’t control that.
You right, I am always going to stand up for the brothers.
Yup, it’s cool *shaking your hand and smiling* No hard feelings right?
@ Man IDC
Trust me when I say that my reading skills are EXCELLENT. Once again, you are being facetious and once again you have missed my point. I don’t feel like explaining it again so I will let it go.
Of course you can’t control my feelings. I never said that you could…and I didn’t take offense to you chiming in. I took offense to your comment about Realwoman and I. You thought it was funny…we didn’t.
Also, I didn’t skirt anything. I was originally addressing the stereotypical comment that a Black male made about Black women so why would it be necessary for me to make comments about Black women in the same breath?
You are always going to stand up for the brothas. As previously stated, I will always stand up for the sistas. We can both agree on that.
Yes, there are no hard feelings.

@ Lady Architect
“Though the song is true many rappers and people who speak out to the media have to be careful with their words, but rap is free speech. It was a smart move for Obama to condemn it because he’s not about this he’s more about change. I do agree with Luda’s rhyme though, but maybe he should’ve kept that on like an underground type thing.”
I agree 100%. No more no less. SMH @ all the people hateing on Luda on a *****ing blog site. Each one of ya’ll get the “Hoe sit down” award. If you don’t like him don’t listen to him and don’t waste your time talking about him you *****ing retards. SMH.
And why are we so up in arms about this song?! Bill O’Reilly should focused on Faux’s good friend Toby Keith and his song about Lynching. It has even pictures of actual lynchings in the video. While the pictures show people of all races being lynched, he is FOR this violent vigilante justice. He even references a Jewish man who was lynched back in the day.
Let’s see how many people we can band together to protest Toby Keith’s album. Instead of bumping our gums here, let’s go flood Music distributors inboxes to not sell Toby Keith’s latest piece of crap album.
Let’s also ask Faux why they aren’t discussing his pro-lynching bull, but focusing on WORDS from Ludacris.

@ The Truff Hurts
Are we selecting celebrity panelists?
Not agreeing with Luda’s lyrics or anything but he does have the right to say what he wants in one of his songs. And Barack does have the right to not support that. Luda ain’t a saint and neither is Barack. Yes I would love to see a black man in office but he still is a POLITICIAN. Of course he is going to condemn those lyrics. He will do what it takes, just like everyone who ran before him, to make himself look good and get into office. A politician is a politician no matter what race or type of pants/skirt he/she is wearing.
N-words please, its just a song. He can do a song about whatever he want. What now Obama everybody’s daddy? We grown. Now if Barack responds to EVERY little thing he’s being a bytch. Man up dude.
Luda has real bad timing! But Barack will survive.
Barack’s birthday in on August 4th! Happy birthday, Mr. President Obama.
I will say un Luda’s defense-he’s saying things all of us have said about each of the people addressed. Jay-Z has a song that says ***** Bush-it has Barack’s name in that, too, and I’m sure other critics will make issue of it. The point is, they nit pick at anything to throw Barack off. But I love Barack for being stand-u and talking aboutthings instead of running and hiding. He does address his issues so no one can say he was a punk. I like that.
Blondie you said the only comment on here worth anything. Right now, at this very time, Obama is just a senator from Chicago. Thats it. I don’t understand why these old ignorant negroes won’t shut the hell up until he is in place. You don’t go to celebrating something that hasn’t happened yet. Trust me, it is eating away at these white males that feel that the country is theirs and they are in the position to invent new laws and rules to keep obama from winning. Dang man, I wish more of us would think. Do you know how easy it is to spout the first thing that comes to mind. That is the first sign of a moron. I don’t know when we will learn that white peoples game is wit and money. Thats it. You out wit or out money them period. You can’t out wit anyone constantly saying the first thing on your mind.
I REALLY WISH EVERYONE WOULD COOL DOWN BOUT THIS SONG WHEN HILLARY WAS ATTACKING OBAMA YA DIDN’T HEAR ALL THIS RIFF RAFF ABOUT SHE SHOULD SHUT HER MOUTH AND NOW U HAVE MCCAIN DOING THE SAME THING AND I DON’T SEE ANY ONE ATTACKING HIM.WAR VETERAN MY A$$ HE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS A PRISONER OF WAR LET’S NOT FORGET ALL THE FALLEN BLACK SOLIDERS………
Nothing Luda said was wrong !!!!
Nothing!
He just said it at the wrong time
He should of waited till November 5th 2008!
Florida (from Goddtimes) , please say it
DAmn, damn, DAmn !!!!!!!!!
Did anyone bother reporting that the so called American government apologized yesterday for Slavery to Black America? This is the reason why must turn off the got damn t.v.’s and stopped listening/boycott major television networks…..this was supposed to be a significant time for our people, which has been over clouted by biased racist media attempts to consort Obama as an “uptty negro”, thanks to Jessie Jackson, and people like Luda, (who honestly need to sit his azz down, why isn’t anyone writing something positive in the rap game about aspiring to be someone like Barrack, thus, “their son’s” have a chance and being something great other than chasing “hoes”, cars and broads?
We all need to stop watching main stream media and news. I only watched “Black in America”, because of Soledad O’Brian’s brilliant efforts, thus, I had started getting a soft spot again for CNN, until the last Sunday airing of “Black in America”, CNN again was on the Right Wing Nut Sack of criticizing Obama again, for being to “Presumptive”,”too arrogant”…..at a time when everything in this media is solely driven on Right Wing/Old Clinton “Gotcha” sound byte/racist tactics, I’ve resorted to listening to talk radio….AIR AMERICA (.COM), Jones Radio Network and Randi Rhodes show on the Nova M radio network(Usually these are found on your AM dial),Huffingtonpost.com, BBC World News, NPR,Bill Mahr( HBO) Jonathan Stewart and oh….Keith Oberman (is the only one I watch on cable/t.v.)…..The rest of the media is sold and brought by the Right Wing machine. Until the Fairness Doctrine is actually repealed, and 90% of the media is broken down to reflect more progressive media reporting, I am not going to buy into the media hype anymore!!!!
We honestly need to start boycotting the media/CNN/ WHAT THE FAUX NEWS NETWORKS/MSNBC and NY Times, and other journalism forms of media, until we can get part of “Fairness” in the Fairness Doctrine restored!!!
Please my people, check out the other media sources and then turn off the idiot boxes until the elections are over!!!!
Barack has to grow some nutz for Jesse to cut them off. What a little bytch.

Co-sign. (And it’s not letting me add a 5 to your post, like it ain’t letting me add to others, either).
But you broke it down.
Priorities is real. Wait until he’s in to break that ***** out. We can’t be sabotaging the man. Just like that black lady in Colorado thought she was gonna do Barack a favor by singing the Black National Anthem to the tune of the Star Spangled Banner….. she did not have permission to do that… she planned that sh*t out, but she didn’t really THINK about the bigger picture.
And now, instead of the Black National Anthem being embraced, it made people think ‘oh sh*t, those n*ggers are going to take over and kill white people’ (I kid you not, there were some foul comments coming from people when the news broke). Can’t be doing that. Can’t be sabotaging Barack like that over some keep it real bullsh*t, which isn’t really keeping it real.
Like you say, again, “let the man get in office first….then turn the motha out….priorities people….co orrrrdinate your *****”
The people up here complaining about this issue are RIDICULOUS and so are the people on this message board echoing similar sentiments. When did the right of FREEDOM OF SPEECH get taken away? I know over the past couple of years the constitution has been being eroded but can somebody tell me when the right to FREEDOM OF SPEECH was revoked??? Luda is a grown a$$ man who can say whatever the hell he wants. If the man wants to call Hillary Clinton a ***** that’s HIS opinion and HIS right to do so. And She is a ***** and what? I said it and I won’t be issuing no apologies as a result either. And as far as the offensive lyrics against women is concerned? What year are we living in people? 2008? How long has the more edgery lyrics in Hip Hop music been around? 1988, 89 something like that? Yeah I believe so. So were talkin about 20, 21 years of these kinds of lyrics being in Hip Hop music. To all of those offended GET OVER IT ALREADY ! GET A GRIP SERIOUSLY ! Because I for one am real sick and tired of hearing the same lame a$$ tired arguements and debates about something that has been around in Hip Hop for 20 some odd years now. GIVE ME A F*%KING BREAK !
@Somer wrote, “AND THEY SAY BLACK WOMEN DON’T SUPPORT BLACK MEN. OBAMA HAS NOT HAD TO DEAL WITH ONE IGNORANT BLACK WOMAN YET. HELL EVEN REPUBLICAN SHERYL UNDERWOOD IS IN HIS CORNER.”
Actually, he had to deal with many ignorant black women while he was battling Hillary Clinton. I’m sorry Maxine Waters was one of them, I used to respect her. Not anymore.
The black political blogs were all over those crazy Obama-hating Hillary-loving black female leaders. The worst of the bunch was Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas. She was called ‘handkerchief head’ and worse by black bloggers (many of them black women) for how far up Hillary’s a$$ she had her head. My personal tipping point when it came to her was when she made those ignorant comments about Barack Obama’s ‘native dress’ when the Somali pictures came out.
Think about that phrase. So I cheered, too, when the people of Texas booed her butt on stage back in like March, and started chanting ‘OBAMA’ for like 3 minutes.
To dubya and meleemel,
I apologize for misreading you two — on free speech and on the South. That was not my intent. Keep up the good fight. (ps. meleemel, I was just riffing on its6amhogetout’s reputation for having a pavlovian reaction to ’south’ and ‘negro’. i apologize for the misunderstanding, and did not mean any disrespect.)
@ thatbkchick
Thank You! Hit these networks where it hurts their ratings. Well hold on .. dont boycott the whole station just the programs that you feel our not fair,turn it off!
@Man, I just don’t care wrote, “You see, we take our intelligent black brotha’s and sista’s and make them feel like outcast for being intelligent then when they’re successful and end up going out of their race to be accepted we call them sell outs when we’re the ones who turned them away, that’s why I hate the term “Acting White”..Why does intelligence and professionalism has to be *****ociated with being white..It’s a shame we celebrate ignorant ***** rappers and ball players but not the young person with the genius level I.Q., and good grades.”
That was beautiful.
Some of you people are really scared. The people, who actually vote, won’t even give Luda a second thought while they’re at the polls, so chill. If Obama doesn’t win, there is no way in the world, you can blame Luda or anyone else for that matter & as far as Bill & the Fox news network goes, they’ve been making racist comments for years, but as you can see, they’re still on the air & doing pretty good in the ratings department.

I agree. Good point. To me this just shows how the Republicans have to use low ball tactics to make people look at Obama different. They are not focusing on the real issues b/c they know they can win that way so they pop up what a rapper that most of white middle amerians haven’t hear of the get at Obama. SMH.

I’m sure I missed some folks.
Everyone has the right to speak freely but this song will hurt Obama’s campaign if he did not speak out against ludacris. These negative critics who do not want to see Obama in office will qoute these lyrics word for word and try to sway voters into voting for Mccain. This profane language should not be tolerated regardless of the election or not.
Obama critics cast him in a negative light through other black peoples behavior. They try to discredit him and deem him incapable of running for office. Public Advocates for him should watch their speech and lyrical content because it will backfire, and voters will be swayed in another direction if it has inappropriate language.
“I want to tell you my first-hand experience.I have found my best friend and
my true Love.I have found my match on this site, ————uniformedcupid.com———- It was an instant connection for people seeking handsome and charming rich ones.Good luck to all who are looking for true and real love, I am blessed.
“
I love a Luda, but some of his lyrics just ain’t right and some of the lyrics on this song are not right. That’s not the way you refer to woman Luda, who carried you for nine months? It doesn’t matter how much you hate that particular women. A deragotary term made to women just doesn’t affect the woman it is said to, it affect us all.
Secondly, after the issues with Pastor Wright what were you thinking. This reaction was to be expected. Everyone has been going on about guilty by *****ociation and will continue to do so. Obama doesn’t need this as he already has McCain’s ads to contend with. He shouldn’t have to defend himself over people’s (yours) stupid remarks.
People get on the same page. The focus and our ultimate goal is the White House. That’s all. All these unnecessary and stupid distractions are not helping us. We need to be converting Anti-Obama people to Obama’s side.

OMG!!!Damn! I love this I made a copy for my African American co-workers ,(they cracked up too) that is too funny girl!!
BUT TRUE!!
I’m glad he wants to speak his mind but damn have some tact negro. You can criticize a person without degrading them. You’re a rapper be creative.
Where is lauren when you need her.
We are going to shoot ourselves in the foot aren’t we? Oh hell hillary should have just won & it would have hurt less then.
I see that most of you on this site do not know your history, so I guess being upset about Luda’s song and degrading yourselves and other black people is all you know how to do. It’s amazing reading these comments and seeing such low self-esteem black people have. It’s sad that these comments are coming from black people. SMDH, enough of the self-hatred already.
P.S. I see a lot of people throwing the EDUCATED word around. I bet that the people saying this word aren’t even educated themselves. It just sounds good, right? Anyway, because if you were, these self-hating comments would never leave your mouth , because you would know better than that. STOP SELF-HATE IN ‘08!!!!!!
No harm done Nita! I really like reading your comments!
Cris came off like an angry, scary black man. But love his comments re. McCain & Bush.
Instead do what Kanye did, just speak your mind in an interview.
GOOD MORNING!
Have you all seen the story where WalMart executives were telling their store managers about the possibility of unionization if a democrat becomes president? God forbid Walmart make their employees work decent hours and receive benefits in a timely fashion.
YES WE CAN!
If you want to read the story for yourself, you can find it on Yahoo news, FinancialWeek(dot)com,
Trust me when I say that my reading skills are EXCELLENT. Once again, you are being facetious and once again you have missed my point. I don’t feel like explaining it again so I will let it go.
Of course you can’t control my feelings. I never said that you could…and I didn’t take offense to you chiming in. I took offense to your comment about Realwoman and I. You thought it was funny…we didn’t.
Also, I didn’t skirt anything. I was originally addressing the stereotypical comment that a Black male made about Black women so why would it be necessary for me to make comments about Black women in the same breath?
You are always going to stand up for the brothas. As previously stated, I will always stand up for the sistas. We can both agree on that.
Yes, there are no hard feelings.
*Vigorously shaking your hand back*

No, I’m not being faceticious or sarcastic. You made a comment and I made a comment. You interpeted mine to be in agreement with ILLUMINATE (or whoever) for whatever reason and you were wrong.
What you take offense to is up to you. So again, that is on you….. but I do understand.
Yup, you are going to stand up for yours and I am going to stand up for mine, then we are in agreement.

Wal-Mart mobilizing against Obama: report
Managers said to be warned about the downside of organized labor; Obama then linked to unionization
August 1, 2008
(Reuters)—Wal-Mart is mobilizing U.S. store managers to lobby against Democrats in November’s presidential election, fearing they will make it easier for workers to unionize, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.
In recent weeks, thousands of Wal-Mart managers and department heads have been summoned to mandatory meetings at which the retailer stresses the downside for workers if store workers unionize, the paper said.
About a dozen employees who attended meetings in seven states said executives stressed employees would have to pay hefty union dues and get nothing in return, and might have to go on strike without compensation, and warned that unionization could force the company to cut jobs as labor costs rise, the Journal reported.
The Wal-Mart human-resources managers who have run the meetings didn’t tell those attending how to vote in the November elections, but made it clear that voting for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama, would be tantamount to inviting unions in, The Journal said.
Wal-Mart could not be reached immediately for a comment.

Now that I look at all of this, it’s acutally funny.

We all as black people need to stick together around this time. We have the opportunity to make history,by having the worlds first black president of the United States of America.Luda should have saved this one until after the election.I hate to say it yaull, but if this type of slander continues,we may cause Obama the election.So if anyone else has anymore disrespectful raps are comments,pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, lets just hold out until he’s in the white house.
