OK so I was reading through my daily blogs and forums (I get so bored at work in the morning) and stumbled upon a very interesting video that I really wish I had not seen. Take a look see.
I will be the first to say that having a black President gives me that sense that in this great country of ours, anything is possible. Why is it that the people who represent us on a national stage use that opportunity to make us look foolish and ignorant?
Now from the first time I heard the song "My President is Black. My Lambo is Blue"- the two relate to each other how exactly? Was your Lambo red when Bush was in power? (Bloods & Crips analogy for those who are not hip). Then a guy I actually respected, Mr. Carter as I like to call him, remixes the song - OH NO.
This man worked so hard to remove himself from the "drug dealing rapper, turned fashion guru, turned record exec mogul" category. The man owns a part of a basketball team which would then mean he is an official business man; and you go on the national stage and represent not only your company and your name that way; but as a general brand and for argument sake, black people? What do we think that for July 4th, we're having a cook out on the White House lawn? Get Real!
Why does black have to be associated with ignorance? You know the "other people" are like "OMG what have we done?!" Let's get it together - the president is black, great; the country has hit a milestone, a moment in history, but his job remains the same. And if he fails the consequences are 10 fold.
Did I forget to mention this was at one of the "after parties"? More later!
