please elaborate on racist ignorance. i am still trying to figure out how everyone labels obama as black. his mom was WHITE, which, for all intents and purposes makes him WHITE! just like if she was a catholic it would make him the same.

no one ever brought that up. it's the fact that he's a lying moron who got awarded something for what he's supposedly trying to accomplish. let's give it to a fifth grader that's good at math hoping he solves some insane equation in the future.

there is a big difference between rap and hip hop by the way. although they are similar, they are not one and the same. hip hop has a message, usually positive about moving forward and righting wrongs (kinda like how it started). and like all music it goes beyond gender, race, color, creed or religion. it breaks down walls and helps unite people on common grounds.

by the way, obama called kanye a jackass, does that make him a racist?

As I was reading this thread I was thinking to myself " No, you can't get involved in this stupidity..." but...here I am doing so. I find it amusing that when it suits one's purposes, being half- white makes a person" ... for all intents and purposes...white", but those who would judge a person based solely on the color of one's skin tend to argue that much smaller percentages of black blood would make a person black. The amusing thing is that I can't for the life of me see a difference between the two assumptions. I guess I'm the racist. To get a little closer to the point, given the nature of this whole set of forums (why we're here, I thought), Mr. Obama has been singularly unimpressive on the issue of Marijuana and its place in our society. Same old law and order do-si-do bullshit. The libertarians are the only ones with any principles at all.
