CNN

WHEN WILL THE MEDIA STOP THIS NONSENSE. YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE MORE RESPOSIBABLE THAN THIS. AMERICA IS A RACE CONCIOUS SOCIETY AND THIS DOESN'T MEAN THERE ARE RAVING RACISTS EVERYWAY BUT IT HAS BEEN SOCIALIZED INTO EACH INDIVIDUAL. IN ORDER FOR THE MEDIA TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO CNN AND OTHERS ARE PROVIDING PLATFORMS FOR RACIAL COMMENTS e.g. THE ABOVE ARTICLE. STOP IT CNN AND I AM ASHAME OF SOME OF THE BLOGGERS WITH THEIR COMMENTS. THE WORLD IS WATCHING AMERICA CLEAN UP UP YOUR ACT.

CNN,
This must have been a slow newsday. I'm sure Nas isn't the first (and definately wont' be the last) artist to make reference to Obama as "The first black President" . I'm still scratching my head trying to find why this is "newsworthy".

Let's get back to real issues, like why gas prices, are rising to near $5.00/gallon in Chicago and other major markets. Or why my hard earned tax dollars, are funding an unnecessary war that we were "lied" into by the Bush administration.

Dear "small" Minds:

See? This is exactly how Lies and Propaganda get started. Obama did NOT pat his wife on the behind!! (If you're going to tell a lie, tell it right!) He simply and lovingly touched her lower back and so what anyway? Is it now a world crisis? It always seems to be the "small" minds whose commentary is never much more intelligent than discussing a hug, or a song, or the constant ignorant utterances of hate-speak. Thanks alot for your contributions. While the whole world is watching, you sure do us proud!

> He still has more white votes than he has of any other demographic that voted for him. Guess what? He will regain the White vote because people are tired of the divisions.

I'm white, but I still want to give you a Black church style "AMEN!" for that. I'm sick of all the people trying to drag Obama down. My voter registration card may say "Republican" but I will not vote for a fake like McCain. Obama has my vote all the way and no phony scandal is going to change that.

why is it ok for black people to vote for Obama just cause he is black, while it was seen as racist if someone voted for Clinton just because she was white.

i support neither, its just a double standard. Being black actually helped him as 95% of blacks are democarts, but it hurts him in a general election as blacks were voting democrat anyway, allthough more will go out and vote.

this is new generation let sodier boy retire, it time for change.

Some questions for the ignorant rapper who appears to be just one in a sea of ignorant performers in our deluded, diseased culture:

Why do you continue to believe the myth that an Obama presidency will put black America over the hump?

Why do you belong to the party of Theophilus Eugene "Bull" Connor? The party of the Dixiecrats? The party of the Southern Manifesto (with the exception of two Republicans)?

The party that has done more than any other in this country in damaging blacks and ethnic minorities?

Not to hit on too fine a point, Mr. Unintelligent Rapper, but if you had any sense at all, you would be feeling something called cognitive dissonance, but it appears that you simply take an inordinate amount of pride in not knowing what you don't know.

But don't worry, you have plenty of company.

DEAR "small " MINDS,

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW LIES AND PROPAGANDA START!! OBAMA DID NOT PAT HIS WIFE'S BEHIND ! ! HE LOVINGLY TOUCHED THE LOWER PART OF HER BACK !! AND SO WHAT ANYWAY?? IS IT NOW A WORLD CRISIS?? GOD HELP THE " small " MINDS OF AMERICA WHOSE COMMENTARY CAN'T BE ANY MORE INTELLIGENT THAN TALKING ABOUT A HUG, OR A SONG, OR SOME OBVIOUSLY IGNORANT HATE-SPEAK. WHILE THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING – YOU REALLY DO US PROUD!!!!!!

rappers nor country singers make no diff. in a presidential race. especially this time in this election. the stakes are too high. so lets talk about the issues instead of scaring white voters by pointing out rappers are for obama. its very obvous by putting a story like this on the ticker. your better then this CNN.

OBAMA HAS THE SOLID AFRICAN-AMERICAN VOTE AND THEY ARE FORMIDABLE AND UNITED. BUT HE HAS NOT WON THE WOMEN, THE SENIORS, THE RURAL AMERICANS , THE JEWISH VOTE.
THIS ELECTION IS THE ONE AND ONLY CHANCE FOR OBAMA TO BECOME THE FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENT. THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES WENT VERY FAR AND LONG BECAUSE IT WAS A CLOSE ONE. THAT IS TO SAY OBAMA DID NOT WIN BY A LANDSLIDE AND AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE. (TO ME IT IS AN UNDERWHELMING VICTORY).
OBAMA'S SUPPORTERS RELISHING HIS VICTORY SEEM TO IGNORE hILLARY'S 18 MILLION SUPPORTERS AND CHOOSE TO
DENY HER THE VP SPOT.. BIG MISTAKE IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN. HILLARY WILL CONCEDE AND PLEDGE TO SUPPORT OBAMA. HER SUPPORTERS HOWEVER ARE A DIFFERENT BREED
THEY ARE NOT ONLY VERY LOYAL AND PATRIOTIC AMERICANS,
THEY ARE ANGRY AND VERY DISAPPOINTED. THE MORE OBAMA IGNORES THE CLAMOR FOR HILLARY TO BE ON THE VP SPOT, THE ANGRIER THEY WILL BECOME, NOT WITHSTANDING HILLARY'S CONCESSION SPEECH AND PLEDGE FOR PARTY UNITY IN SUPPORTING OBAMA.. HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS ARE
NOT JUMPING WITH JOY WITH OBAMA'S TALK AND SPEAK SINCE HE CLINCHED THE NOMINATION.. THEY CAN SEE THRU AND BETWEEN THE LINES OF OBAMA'S SPEAK. OBAMA'S BODY LANGUAGE WHEN TALKNIG ABOUT HILLARY ALSO BETRAYS HIM.

Big deal, he inspired a rapper, so what kids like him they won't vote anyways. I doubt any country western music star feels inspired by him. he sure doesn't inspire me. all this talk about historic stuff, it doesn't feel historic, whats the big deal? How many people are going to call me racist? When really I'm not. I just don't think its a big deal. I vote for the candidate not the color, not the gender, not the party.

Hold on.....why is this news worthy..? I am with the "who cares" group... I'm an ardent Obama supporter...but I don't QUITE get why this matters...at all?

This is not about black or white Nas do not be to stupid pls take my advice.

Here goes the country. This is the kind of people that support osama. My children can't even listen to that stuff, and we are supposed to follow these people to hell?

Karen in Fla June 6th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Oh yeah – a bunch of rappers are going to convince me to vote for Obama – NOT.

I am confused, as are others, why he considers himself "The First Black Candidate". Excuse me, didn't we hear ALL about that White Grandmother? Shouldn't he be the "First Bi-Racial Candidate"?

Sure seems like he is ashamed of his white heritage. Instead of celebrating both sides of his heritage he chooses to ignore one half. Why don't his supporters see that he is divisive as is his wife? His supporters are the ones to rant and rave about anyone with a differing opinion than theirs. His supporters are the ones that started calling for Hillary to drop out MONTHS before the primary was finished. Why is it his supporters react so strongly and negatively towards ANYONE who questions him in the least?

Guess what – there are going to be a LOT of questions coming up over the next few months so you'd better get used to it. And if the scandals of the last few months are any indicator – you will have to stop acting like he and his wife are squeaky clean.
============================

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!11

We are on the verge of electing the first Black man to be President.His mother is half-white.Barack Obama himself is a metaphor for what we can achieve if race is not the issue.When Dr.King mentioned white and black children holding hands as part of his "I Have a Dream" speech,his dream has evolved to the point to where we're about elect one of those black children to be the most powerful man in the world!!....I'm so proud of this country!!............OBAMA 08

PLEASE dont put Nas and Obama on the same page. Nas is a complete moron.

I never cared much for rap until my sons got me interested. Now we listen together (sometimes–to artists who don't use profanities).

We had our generation. Times have changed. Fist bumps and rappers and genuine affection between the candidate and his wife. It's not the way I grew up but this old fogie is willing to try something new.

Listen up Hillary die-hard supporters. Hillary is not leaving the DNC. She is committed to her party and will stand with her party. And if you really cared about Hillary and the womans movement you will stand with her in support of Barack Obama.

Do you not realize that your behavior could become a hindrence to Sen Clitons future? The outrage some of you display is without deep reflection. Do you think in 2012 the DNC will rally behind a candidate whose supporters cause division and striff?

18 million is a lot of votes but how many Americans live in this country? 300 million or so. So in light of this REALITY 18 million isn't going to get the job done.

Sen. Clinton would like to continue her political career and perhaps become President someday. But if her supporters don't stand behind her even in defeat no one will support her in 2012.

Think on it.

It's depressing hearing how many negative comments are out there coming from people who know nothing about Nas or Rap music. It's also disheartening hearing people argue about race. Let me help all of you morons out. If you are not Black – Don't think you can judge Black churches, music, or make racial slurs commonly used by Blacks about other Blacks. If you are not White "dito". If you are not Asian "dito". If you are not Hispanic "dito". As a mixed person I get so sick and tired of hearing you idiots bicker about this when it really all comes down to the most simple rule in all society. The GOLDEN ONE.

INDEPENDENCE DAY June 6th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

ENOUGH ALL READY, DID ANYONE SEE MICHELLE OBAMA HAND GESTURE TO OBAMA THE NIGHT HE WAS GRANTED THE ENDORSEMENT BY THE SUPERDELEGATES. IT WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, SHE REALLY LACKS POLISH. AND THEN OBAMA PATS HER BUTT LIKE A FOOT BALL PLAYER TO SCOOT HER OFF THE STAGE. YEAH THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT. HE DISRESPECTED HIS WIFE, AND ALL WOMAN WITH THAT MOVE. I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE LINE OF DIGNITARIES AWAITING A RECEPTION LINE AND MICHELL OBAMA HIGH FIVING EVERYONE. JACKIE O SHE IS NOT.
_____________________________________________________

YOUR IGNORANT, and since you asked, i did see it and it was not a sign of disrespect. It actually showed how well they are not only as husband and wife, but as a team.

There has never been a step change in thinking in this country that wasn't a struggle. Without that struggle, there would still be slavery, only white males would be allowed to vote, hell we might still be part of England.

Congrats to both senators!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is showing us that Obama inspired everybody. Even rapper like Nas already create a song for Obama. That is really cool!

Barack Obama is another Jackie Robinson on a much larger scale. At first, some of Robinson's Dodger teammates didn't care about his breaking the color barrier in baseball. However, they did care at the end of that 1947 season as Robinson made them money. The Dodgers won the Pennant. Here's hoping Obama can help us win the pennant after 8 losing seasons with George Bush.

Get over it , hes BLACK....ok now that's cleared up...

and if he was purple, pink, white or my favorite "baby blue" i'd still vote for him...

STOP THE DRAMA>>>>VOTE OBAMA!!

O-blah-ma June 6th, 2008 7:16 pm ET
Yo yooooo Rappers – keep it up homies. Between yo raps and Obama's brush-off moves – non-black America will vote NO to turning the White House into a Ghetto crib.
This isn't MTV folks – it the highest office of our proud Nation.

*********************

You are an Ignorant Egotistic Human being... Its people like you that create DUMB and unrealistic stereotypes! Even though America is moving past racial stereotypes, You are still living in la la land (and this is a dark place)!!!

Barack Obama will be my president and I am white. He will be the president of EVERYONE , all colors, all shapes, all religions. Period.

I will sit back and read all the racist comments now..just because he is a "rapper" certain people will see this as very nagative, just watch, see and read.....

Just like oprah, these people want to jump on a bandwagon. They have everything else and are hoping for a little more==using AA for all they can get. Rock starss–for Obama–vote them out!

Some of you people are so jealous of Obama and Michelle. So what, if he pats his wife on her butt. Why don't you find someone one to spank your butt. I thought the gesture was very cute. My husband pats my behind it the public. After all, he paid for the marriage license, and I feel that my butt belong to him. I am sure that the way Obama feels.
So people, 'get a life'

Song seems to be nice!

NEW ENGLAND for OBAMA

How does this help the divide?
I am black and never let my children watch or listen to this expression, it is derogatory, demeaning, and for profit.

White people, continue to be honest about how you feel on the blog. Black people, start being honest. Pushing a social agenda through the White House is never a good idea, the president needs to do the business of the people. Not the party they are affiliated with, not the race they are ascribed to, not the church they attend or religion the adhere to, the business of the people. All the people.

Get real on the blog, stop quoted stump speeches and hold your candidate accountable. The rappers want to make money, they need press. They don't help Obama anymore they help you.

signed,
a black person.

Obama can't stop rappers, singers and actor/actress from expressing their views on this candidancy. If people will let the process take place, we can have a very good democratic party. Now that Hillary supporters are stirring up so much mess like her campaign we will have the message of change but the same old politics as usual. It we are going to unite, then Hillary we will make a special song for you only if you truly deserve one. Stop and I beg you to stop sabotaging the democratic party.

Obama is just inspiring, that's all. Some creative people are just putting it to song, that's all. Musicians have been inspired to put people and events in songs for generations... this is nothing new.

Like celebrity endorsements, this doesn't mean all that much, it's just a point of interest. That's all there is to it. Interesting that Obama Girl's creativity was left off the story.

CNN...let's try this again

Funny...I remember when Obama launched his candidacy, he was shunned by an overwhelming majority of blacks because he was raised by a white mother and grandparents, and was supported by young white voters, he couldn't possibly know the "black experience" and therefore was not black enough.
When his candidacy took off and he became the media darling, touted by the all-knowing Oprah and every other "informed and enlightened" Hollywood celebrity the black communities thought, hey, this guy might actually have a shot, then all of the sudden he became the product of an African father and "whats-her-name". We won't even get into the white grandmother comments that he himself made...because after all, this is not supposed to be about his race, so he says...we'll let Michelle tackle that one!
When his racist friends were exposed that appeared to elevate his stature in black communities even more and apparently "legitimized" his ethnicity.
Now he is known as the black candidate who is losing the support of the whites who put him there, cuz guess what? He may not be too fond of you! I'm over it all...so over it and so disgusted by the whole circus!
I hope your candidate does well and, if elected, does not disappoint you too much because white, black, or purple the guy will still have to cow-tow to the special interest groups that put him there...payback to them may not be beneficial to you!

Sorry all, I am a white american male thats almost 34 years old, and Barack Obama has never disinfranchised me, I am a loyal supporter of him and his administration, and will be until he is sworn in as the next president of the United States of America!...

He truly fills me with hope as we move forward into the future with this country. I am looking forward to him taking the oath of the office.

He also embodies what we all strive for, and what we all dream of, we all wish for this country to be great, and that we may lead fulfilling, and productive lives, and soon we will all see and feel the changes to our great country.

Obama 08'
DEMOCRATS 08'

To INDEPENDENCE DAY:

You should re-watch the video you are speaking about. First of all Obama did not give Michelle a pat on the butt, he touched her back. Secondly, if Michelle cannot be excited about this historic moment, then when can she? Hell I was jumping for joy that this great nation is beginning to make a change and beginning to view people for who they are and for what they stand for regardless of race.

You sound like one for the few that are stuck in time and are looking for any reason at all to not support a candidate of color.

Yo yooooo Rappers – keep it up homies. Between yo raps and Obama's brush-off moves – non-black America will vote NO to turning the White House into a Ghetto crib.

This isn't MTV folks – it the highest office of our proud Nation.

Look at CNN getting so fresh and hip. First with the word boo now this?

Independence day, what the hell are you talking about? there was nothing wrong with that. I am sure that a bunch of you out there who did not want Obama to begin with will find any reason to disgrace him.

Rap music is basically anti-women so it is no surprise that rappers would want another black man rather than a white woman. When did the dem party become comfortable with sexism? Not once did the dem party come to HRC's defense. So I have left the dem party. And I really have been a dem for the last 38 years.

NAS does not have a clue what is going on. Thanks for showing the world how ignorant you are. Go back to sleep, go home because no one wants to hear that trash.

NAS = Never Again Speak

I just wish those rappers (with an exception of Common and Talib) would do somethings more postive. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with them endorsing Obama, but at least...through their music they can do something more postive-make somebody want to endorse them. I'm tired of the crap they rap about–it does nothing positve for anyone. Rap about something worth listening to and people can be uplifted by.

obama is half white /half black, some white rappers need to rap about obama tooo!!!!

Oh yeah – a bunch of rappers are going to convince me to vote for Obama – NOT.

I am confused, as are others, why he considers himself "The First Black Candidate". Excuse me, didn't we hear ALL about that White Grandmother? Shouldn't he be the "First Bi-Racial Candidate"?

Sure seems like he is ashamed of his white heritage. Instead of celebrating both sides of his heritage he chooses to ignore one half. Why don't his supporters see that he is divisive as is his wife? His supporters are the ones to rant and rave about anyone with a differing opinion than theirs. His supporters are the ones that started calling for Hillary to drop out MONTHS before the primary was finished. Why is it his supporters react so strongly and negatively towards ANYONE who questions him in the least?

Guess what – there are going to be a LOT of questions coming up over the next few months so you'd better get used to it. And if the scandals of the last few months are any indicator – you will have to stop acting like he and his wife are squeaky clean.

Yeah people want it both ways. As and African American I can honestly say that many of my family members voted for him just cause he was black and thats a shame. I say he doesnt get the claim as beign the first african american president because he's mixed or does his blackness over shadow his whiteness? I think obama has bitten off more than he can chew and I am so through with people saying hillary is power hungry. She spent 7 years in the senate before persuing the presidency, this guy spent 18 months if that is not power hungry I dont know what is.

All you idiots making dumb comments obviously know nothing about Nas. He is one of the greatest lyrists alive. All he did was make a song! Im telling you stop hating vot e Obama!! Its not about black or white. It is about the USA!! Dems lets make it happen and shut all these ignorant folkz up!! I am tired of there BS.

It is a song. He is only referring to the African American history. Read a book and see what the race been through then you will understand.

I think most of America still does not realize the sway Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, Nas, Jay-Z, Lupe Fiasco, The Roots and other intelligent, thoughtful hip-hop artists have over the youth of America. And their message is incredibly peaceful, unifying and encouraging self-improvement in all of us. If you think it's all just "Rap music", you're not paying attention.
Rap – Lies = hip-hop

Alecki: "He has fought to bring us apart." Who have you been watching? What candidate are you talking about? Because surely you have not listened to a word Barack Obama has said. Otherwise, you clearly have a problem with his skin color. Disagree with his policies, and that's one thing. To claim he's dividing America, you're either high on something or deaf, blind and dumb.

Independence Day: The "fist bump" between Michelle and Barack is being heralded nationwide as utterly endearing, and proof that they are just like the rest of us. I would say it shows that they are more Kennedy-esque, not less. Michelle Obama is as close to Jackie O as we've seen since, well, Jackie O.

President Barack Obama! 'bout time!

obama is more about being black or being a democrat. it would be nice if these hollywood types get this.

WOW!Are you serious!!!!Roll out but please the musics should be void of the raw hip pop words.Mccain's camp are looking for things to use as an attack,everyone needs to be careful please.YES WE CAN!!

Alecki..

If CNN and the rest of the media did not think talking about race would scare you and people who think like you away from Obama, they would not make it a point to put it in your face...all the time...everyday! It would not be their selling point. So why do you spew hate? Oh is to spread and encourage your divisive nature? Shame on you!!!

Does spreading hate elevate you? I am certain God frowns on such behavior because he emphasizes loving your neighbor as yourself. WWJD

Please stop the hate! It is better for others to speculate on your ignorance, than for you to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

This is great to see our young people so involved in politics because they are our future. Obama gives our young people hope for peace while John McCain can only talk about sending them to war.

Nas using Pac verse – wow now that is really different since Pac and Nas did not like each other. Of course he did run it for a cash pay out on Thugz Mansion a few years ago too. Nas is a great rapper but always looking to make a buck off someone else. But his point on Obana is well taken – we shall see

First off, to Shawn T: Do you really know Nas as a Hip Hop artist? If you knew Nas' reputation, you would know that his, music throughout his career (which is almost two decades), discussed issue like this. He's the only rap artist who CONSISTENTLY dared to be critical toward the U.S.about Blacks, not like these other wack artist you hear about. So, if any artist were to make a song related to this subject, it would be no other than him. I'm not trying to be facetious or sarcastic, I just perceived you made a comment without having any knowledge of Nas' reputation.

Second to Alecki: In short, all I have to say is what you typed is ignorant Obama never bought up race unless it was about interracial unity. Don't you remember what Clinton (Hillary & Bill) said throughout N.H. & S.C.?
He still has more white votes than he has of any other demographic that voted for him. Guess what? He will regain the White vote because people are tired of the divisions.
Individuals were so quick to get mad over comments he didn't make (i.e. Wright, Clintons, Pfleger etc.) he was forced to respond. Sure its okay to get mad at the "typical white people" or "bitterness" comments, but the typical white people comment was partially true, Americans just don't like hearing the truth. The "bitterness" talk was his only Authentic Gaffe. You let Pundits and Conservative/Republicans in the media sway your thought process to think other than an analysis of what you could come of with. SAD. And guess what? He may not bring the world together, but he's the best candidate to even make it possible. According to your statements (because I really don't know you) it's people like you that will keep the world divided.

Finally INDEPENDENCE DAY: I am Black and I don't feel my hand gesture should meet any standard, especially since you're talking about the Majority (European Americans) standards! Its a shame that your closed minded. I actually cheered when she did that. Do you know why? Because Michelle or Barack Obama don't have to change their lifestyles to match into a white standard society. They are authentic! It is you who have to change your thinking that all races must acculturate into the White Euro standards

Oh yeah, this was not racist until he won the nomination. Now listen to them.

I want a Hilliary support to answer this question. I wanted some facts. Why would you vote for McCain. I wanted to talk about some issues like health care, war in Irag, housing market, social securtiy, bush taxes cuts, pro lofe or pro choice. Please can someone tell me how you supported Hilliary but now support McCain. I will post this messeage everyday until I get a real answer. Please just tell the truth.

Mr Creative Effort looks like he is stoned.................you Dems need more endorsements like this........maybe one from Bubba?

Nas who? LOL

Whatever happened to him ??

I'm a white woman.

I like hip hop.

I'm an Obama supporter who was at the inspirational speech he made on Tuesday. He did NOT pat her butt and while you are free to hold your opinion, everyone I've talked found their "bump" refreshing because they are a presidential couple who obviously loves each other deeply rather than being a frigid marriage of convenience.

Last but not least, of course race is a part of this because it is so historic (just as is the case with Clinton being a woman and JFK being a Catholic). That does NOT mean though that people are voting for him because of race or that he has intentionally played the race card. His love for his white grandparents is clear and makes it obvious that he has no interest in deliberately alienating white voters.

Obama was also mentioned in Lupe Fiasco's 1st Album.

This was before Obama annouced he's run for the White House.

I am so sick of race, will it never end? Obama, Michelle, Oprah, Wright, Pfleger, MLK... it never seems to stop even for a day. What will the next 4 years be like? God Help us if Obama should actually win in November. Keep pointing out our differences until we all say yeah, your right, we are very different and it is not just the color of our skins.

Just what Obama is some rapper supporting him.He has had enough support from idiots.

DON'T LISTEN TO THIS CRAPPY MUSIC NEVER HAVE, YOU CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THEM.

"The song opens with a memorable line from Obama’s victory speech in Iowa (“They said this day would never come”), and then dips into a sample from Tupac Shakur’s 1998 hit “Changes” (“We ain’t ready to have a black president”).

Sooo... I guess I don't understand. This is supposed to be pro-Obama?

hes not black people!

OBAMA REACHES PEOPLE FROM ACROSS THE SPECTRUM. THIS IS PROOF THAT THE MAN INSPIRES SOMEONE TO MAKE AN ALBUM BASED ON THE GOOD EXAMPLE HE'S MAKING DURING HIS LIFE. HIS PRESENCE UPLIFTS YOUNG BLACK MALES LIKE MYSELF. I DONT CARE IF THE ALBUM SELLS WELL BUT IM BUYING IT.

(Please Post)

Yet it's NOt about race?

If Obama becomes President, is every headline going to read: "First African American," "History Making..." etc...

We got it already, it's amazing to me, Obama did not want this to be about race and he didn't want his middle name used.

Also, in essence, shouldn't it be "First Bi-racial Nominee," I mean afterall this is how he spun it during the primaries.

I really hope that we don't have to be reminded that he is AA for 4-8 years.

Though it's not about race, yeah right.

Michelle will remind us of that!

trashy songs for a trashy presidental candidate

Who says Hip Hop talks about a bunch of nothing?

I'm just gonna sit here and watch the comments pile up. They will all fall into two categories:

*Racist banter
*"Why does this matter?"

YAYYY!!!!

I LOVE IT!!

LET'S GO DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

ENOUGH ALL READY, DID ANYONE SEE MICHELLE OBAMA HAND GESTURE TO OBAMA THE NIGHT HE WAS GRANTED THE ENDORSEMENT BY THE SUPERDELEGATES. IT WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, SHE REALLY LACKS POLISH. AND THEN OBAMA PATS HER BUTT LIKE A FOOT BALL PLAYER TO SCOOT HER OFF THE STAGE. YEAH THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT. HE DISRESPECTED HIS WIFE, AND ALL WOMAN WITH THAT MOVE. I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE LINE OF DIGNITARIES AWAITING A RECEPTION LINE AND MICHELL OBAMA HIGH FIVING EVERYONE. JACKIE O SHE IS NOT.

We can only hope he does Nas. We've gotta try something new cause the old aint working.

I didn't realize that Nas was a superdelegate.

Thank you. Now go get more votes.

Black American and Black votes
When will this stop.

There are white, yellow and brown.

17 percent of our nation is black.
That's it.

17 percent will have a black reaction.

Obama is not a good candidate for the Democratic party.

He will not bring the world together.
He has fought to bring us apart.

Obama has fought not to have Michigan and Ohio seated.
He brought up race to divide the party

He lost the white vote with his Father Pflager.

He's doing a great job. Please.

Don't really listen hip hop anymore .. but i'll take a listen to this tune ..

Here come these wannabe idiots trying to make a buck by using Obama's good name in their trashy songs.
