Jay is going really hard to get Obama elected. I would even say that Jay-Z drive has done more for the election process than Diddy’s Vote or Die campaign. Don’t get me wrong Diddy is doing his thing with his Diddy blogs. But Jigga is moving the crowd.

Props to Urban Newz

A lot of you who follow me on Twitter may remember when I asked was DC called Chocolate City. Well my co-host of The Bleach Johnson Show made this T-Shirt as an answer to the racist white guy who had the N*gger Please Shirt. I think his shirt is playing the same racial injustice that I despise but I do think it’s funny though. What do you think?

Sarah Palin had one job last week: not to make her self look like any more of an idiot than she did during her interview with Katie Couric. If you didn’t see the series of interviews, there was one where Sarah couldn’t name the magazines or newspapers that she reads on the regular. Then, when asked to name one other Supreme Court case other than Roe vs. Wade, she named Roe vs. Wade. So, heading into the debate the bar was set lower than a 24-hour game of limbo.

She was short on policy and tough on attacks. She truly lived up to her label of a pit bull with lip stick, and you all know what we call a female pit bull. It was sort of funny to me, since she sounds like the mother from “Bobby’s World,” for her to hurling insults instead of talking about policy and specifics.

So, I had to write her a letter, from the heart….

Attention America, people “cuss” Bernie Mac is under fire after the Obama campaign condemned the use some foul language when he was introducing Obama at a fund raiser in Chicago.

Mac, speaking to about 600 donors at a Chicago hotel, joked that he did not understand why Obama would want to run for president.

“I’m proud of him because politics is dirty, especially with Republicans,” he said. “People like rumors. They are going to say things like, you know, ‘You was in the club with Lil’ Kim and you and Kanye West got in a fist fight.’ ” adding “Being a president is tough ’cause you’re not just running the country. You got to run your family too,” Mac said. “Having a black first lady is different. You’re still going to have to do the dishes and the laundry and all that … ‘You got to pick up the kids. You didn’t pick up the kids?’

At one point a heckler [yea they have hecklers at political events] asked demanded that Mac get off the stage after a particularly crude joke. It was at that time that Barack both rejected and denounced Mac… Just kidding. Obama told Mac that he does not condone the statements and believes what was said was inappropriate.

Ebony Mag hit the nail on the head when they said Obama is cool. Yesterday at an event in Powder Spings Ga. Obama showed the ATL just how cool he was.

The quote from Obama:

“You are probably not that good a rapper. Maybe you are the next Lil’ Wayne, but probably not, in which case you need to stay in school,” Obama, D-Ill., told a cheering crowd, brought to a standing ovation at a town hall meeting in Powder Springs, Georgia. The presumptive Democratic nominee was speaking about high school drop out rates and the need for people to be committed to working hard in school so they can get a job after school. Obama said he knows some young men think they can’t find a job unless they are a really good basketball player. “Which most of you brothas are not,” Obama, who played basketball in high school, a sport he continues to play to this day, said jokingly. “I know you think you are, but you’re not. You are over-rated in your own mind. You will not play in the NBA.”  Source

Ah Dave Chappelle, the man that made it acceptable to scream B*tch after a statement will be in Brooklyn today getting political with Kevin Powell. Yes, the guy who used to be on MTV’s Real World. Kevin Powell says he is running for US Congress for the 10th district of Brooklyn, NY because “I have watched America go through many changes over the past few years, because of September 11th, because of the war in Iraq, because of Hurricane Katrina, because of the exploitation and manipulation of our values and our differences, and I want to use my voice, in Washington, DC, on a national stage, in a way that affirms our humanity, not denies it.” This is turning out to be one hell of an election season.

If you would like to go to the event tonight you can rsvp here:

• When: July 9th @ Eugene
• Time: 7pm – 10pm
• Place: 27 West 24th St [Between 6th & Broadway] New York

Civil Rights pioneer Andrew Young has done a lot for the advancement of colored people. He helped encourage blacks to votes and was one of Martin Luther King’s closest allies. But lately he’s been making a fool out of himself with some of his comments. In Dec, 2007 he said “Bill is every bit as black as Barack. He’s probably gone with more black women than Barack,” Today it appears how wrong he was about our next president of the US of A. But apparently TI is his example of a real black person.

In speaking about T.I., Young proclaimed “He’s bright enough, sensitive enough, vulnerable enough and intellectual enough that he might be able to help the society deal with the problem of violence.” Source

A black man who gets caught with 10 machine guns can help solve the violence problem, but one of the most inspirational leaders of our time isn’t fit to be president… Niggatry!! I’m pulling Young’s Negro card.
