brothers for obama

Whoa, whoa, whoa...this is some complete bullshit!!!! How come Fox news hasn't shown the complete idiotic rednecks who supported McCain. Since you went through all the trouble to search youtube for a both of ignorant brothas, why don't you do the same to show the complete ignorance of a bunch of whites!!!!

Better yet I'll do it for you:

Also don't mischaracterize all rappers. Take the time to research interviews of rappers like Common, Wyclef Jean, LL Cool J, KRS-One, the Roots, P Diddy, Nas, etc. And even Jay Z. And yes, this IS MLKs Dream coming full circle. Because for once all of America chose a black man for the content of his character not simply for the color of his skin. Up until now the color of his skin was holding him back and you cannot deny that it did so even in this election. The only difference is more people are now enlightened to MLKs dream!!!

partially correct ...his dream will be fully realized when Obama is judged not by the historic achievement that he was the first black President....but when he is judged strictly by his performance AS President - THAT would be the dream realized.

[BgMc31]

I disagree Jimmy. The fact that the American people gave him a chance based on his character IS the realization of the dream of MLK. Historically speaking, no matter the intellectual capabilities of a black was always trumped by the "BUT, HE IS BLACK" comment.

Not Yet BgMc31 ....a step closer but not yet. Lets not forget those who voted for Obama strictly because he is black. When all is said and done MLK's dream IMO is that color plays no part whatsoever in judgment. The dream is fulfilled when it wont be any big deal whatsoever the color of our President. MLK wasnt just an advocate for blacks ...he was a human rights advocate...regardless of color.

Yep, good point. I was just responding to the video posted.
If he would've posted a clan of rednecks making fools of themselves, I would've ssaid the same thing lol.

I saw it everyday, being in college, whites and blacks alike.
They couldn't tell you any of either ones policies or ideas, but hey he is black like me and my people, we are free, we won! etc.....or hey, im white, and go white power..blacks are inferior...etc!

Uneducated, pathetic people...

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

Thing is, with those videos Bg, is that those are just bottom of the barrel rednecks who know one knows or gives a flying **** about.

Then you have these big rap stars, like Jezzy and Z, who thousands and thousands of people listen to (maybe even millions, people of all color, but Im sure the majority of rap fans are blacks), kids look up to, etc....

And its just sad on their (Jay Z) part, that knowingly they have people listen to them , love them, wanna be them, whatever. They go and spread such a uneducated, hateful message to the public...

I think a major problem as these are the most potent role models young African Americans have.

Again, Kratos you don't know what you are talking about. Some rappers may be the role models of SOME URBAN blacks but have you done any research about which rappers these kids look up to? NO!!! Plus not all young African Americans don't live in these environments. Although high, only 17-20% of us live in poor areas. The 75% live in middle/upper middle class neighborhoods. And in terms of rappers, most black youth follow the more contientious rappers (ie Common, Jay Z, Nas, Wyclef, etc.). Just because they follow their music, doesn't make them role models. Just like I don't say most young whites role models are hard core rockers. Your assumption is completely wrong!!!
