What is your political creed?

Change is sure ringing through the valleys.

I thought that Obama becoming the first “black” President, behind a campaign that called for the unity of Americans, racially and culturally, would have a profound effect on the nation. Apparently this is not the case as a very troubling youtube video that has been uncovered by our friend Bill O’Reilly @ Fox news. BTW, thank god for Fox news, because if they were not around, videos like the one that I have posted below would NEVER be aired.

Anyways, this video, which was filmed during one of the many concerts that took place in DC on Inauguration night, involved rappers Jay-Z and Young Jeezy. At some point during the show, which was labeled “A Concert on the Eve of Change”, Young Jeezy had this to say (and for the record, no I haven’t heard of this guy either):

“And I wanna thank the motherfucker overseas who threw the two shoes at George Bush.

And I want to thank. Listen.

I wanna thank the motherfucker who helped them move their shit up out of the White House.

Keep it moving bitch. My president is motherfucking black!"

These class comments were then immediately followed up by Jay-Z who had this to say:

"...never thought I'd say this shit, baby I'm good. You can keep your pussy because

I don't want no more Bush. No more war, no more Iraq, no more white lies, my

President is black"

The comments are bad enough, however, the video is almost unwatchable as it is so hate filled and full of classlessness. Are these and other rap artists so ignorant, so classless, to believe that this type of behavior would be welcomed by the man they’re celebrating? And how about their contempt for George Bush? Seriously, does anyone actually believe these idiots know a damn thing about what is really going on in this world politically?

Furthermore, Jay-Z is married to Beyonce Knowles, who was also in DC that night, however, she was singing to the Obama’s themselves during their celebratory “first dance” as President and first lady. Ironically, she was singing the song by Etta James titled “At Last”. I wonder what her opinion of her husbands rant was?

Also, I can’t help in find humor at the fact they’re celebrating the election of a “black” man while slamming his white predecessor and his and other white peoples “lies” while ignoring the fact that Obama was raised by his white mother and white grand-parents in part because his African father abandoned him during childhood.

Finally, I mentioned earlier that Fox news is the only station that aired this tape (not to be confused with the Michael Richards, AKA Kramer, tape, which took place at a comedy club with 23 people in it and was aired by every liberal media outlet and their brother). I can't help but wonder if Toby Keith said the following in either 2012 or 2016, after a white candidate successfully runs for and wins the election for President, if Fox news will be the only station airing the tape:

“And I wanna thank the motherfucker overseas who threw the two shoes at Obama.

And I want to thank. Listen.

I wanna thank the motherfucker who helped them move their shit up out of the White House.

Keep it moving bitch. My president is motherfucking white!"

I rest my case.
