So here we go again? Jealous or threatened by the huge support of Hip Hop artists ranging from Jay-Z to Will I AM to the Roots who recently did a fundraiser for Barack Obama, we now have the haters (Hillary Clinton and her gang) coming out.
In a new twist we now have the so called pundits likening the rappers to Jeremiah Wright.
.
Note how they demonized this pastor to the point that now be associated to him is supposed to be a bad thing.. Go figure... One has got to wonder what next? I hope this brother can remain strong and unphased.
Peep out the words of upliftment and vision Obama has to say to the Hip Hop community and then contrast that with the BITTERNESS and outright HATRED of those who fear him coming to power

Obama's Other Jeremiah Wrights



by Evan Gahr

http://www. humanevents. com/article. php?id=26002#continueA

Jeremiah Wright is not the only supporter Barack Obama needs to
explain.


Although the media has finally exposed Barack Obama's ties to the
unhinged pastor his support from rappers who propagate equally
pernicious nonsense has gone almost entirely unnoticed.


Rappers are gaga over Obama.
The superstar Jay-Z, who raps about
"b------," "hoes" and "n-----," even urged voters to support
Obama in a robo-call for the March 4 Ohio primary and caucus.
The
equally foul-mouthed rapper Will. I. am, whose hit songs include "I love
my B----," has hyped Obama in two widely-viewed videos posted on
YouTube.


The rappers have good reason to praise Obama.
He has at times been an
apologist for their "music.
" His complicity with rappers dates back
to at least 2006.


Late that year he met with the rap giant Ludacris in his Chicago office.

Ludacris, who Pepsi dropped as a spokesman in 2004 after Fox News
Channel host Bill O'Reilly exposed his putrid lyrics, said afterwards
that Obama felt like family to him.
In March 2007 Ludacris, whose hit
songs include "Move B----," headlined an Obama fundraiser in
Atlanta.


Obama even recorded a voice over for a new album out this June from
rapper Q-tip.
Will it contain lyrics like these sonnets from another
Q-tip song? "Close the door, 'ight let a n---- rock.
Cause we
'bout to eat real s---, not s--- slop.
"

Who are these members of Obama's amen corner? Many are the
industry's leading lights, who have become rich and famous thanks to
the willingness of liberals like Obama to ignore or excuse their
glorification of sexism, drugs and violence.
Without this kind of
collaboration they would just be unemployed thugs instead of
millionaires.


Obama thus far has equivocated on rappers.
He has criticized their
language, but adamantly refused to denounce the whole sordid genre as
the unique cultural problem that it is.


"I haven't just singled out rappers," Obama told Al Sharpton's
National Action Network conference last year, according to the New York
Observer.
"I've said I've heard those words [used by rappers]
around the kitchen table in some homes. I hear them in the barber shop.

I hear them on the basketball court.
All of us have been complicit in
diminishing ourselves.
"

Obama here relies on the pro-forma defense of rap music.
Yes, apologists
say, it's racist and sexist but it only reflects the racism and sexism
of society.


Oh, really? Where else but rap do folks talk so openly and regularly
about b------, n------ and hoes? What other industry makes millions of
dollars from those words? Obama says he's heard this kind of language
on the basketball court. Which one? Not any NBA game.
Players who curse
during games are suspended and fined.


Where else but rap do you hear words like these from Obama supporter
Jay-Z in his song "99 Problems?"

Now once upon a time not long ago

A n---- like myself had to strong arm a hoe

This is not a hoe in the sense of having a p---

But a p---- having no God Damn sense

Besides Jay-Z, Obama has also won support from rap mogul Russell
Simmons, rapper Nas, whose new album is titled "N-----" and 9/11
conspiracy theorist Mos Def.


It's high time the media ask some tough questions.
Why has Obama
collaborated with rappers? Is he familiar with their words? How could
he not be? The senator's spokesperson said that when he and Ludacris
met the two men found common ground on AIDS prevention.
How do you find
common ground on sexual behavior with someone who calls women
"b------?"

Have any rappers donated to his campaign? Will he return the money? Why
has he not renounced support from rappers? Is this going to take 20
years like it did with Reverend Wright?

At stake here is something more fundamental than Obama's rank
hypocrisy.
The willingness to break ranks with allies or anyone in your
general orbit is the fundamental moral test for anyone engaged in public
life.


In the 1980s, David Dinkins, New York City's first black mayor,
without any public pressure unequivocally denounced Louis Farrakhan.
(In
contrast to Jesse Jackson who has not to this day.
) Dinkins did not try
to offer any context for Farrakhan's hate mongering or liken him to a
misguided uncle as Obama did with Wright.


Obama should follow Dinkins' lead.
The senator should say that instead
of performing songs for him rappers would be better off playing in the
Rev. Wright's choir.
