I'm annoyed by this video on many levels. I'm annoyed that Young Jeezy and Jay-Z would be SO IGNORANT as to say these kind of things and I'm annoyed that people like Bill O'Reilly and Dennis Miller are using someone else's stupidity to attack and/or criticize President Obama. The real issue I have is that white people and CLEARLY black people as well, have deemed people like Jeezy and Jay-Z to be shining role models for the black community. This grown ass BOYS who have trouble keeping their pants up and speaking correct English are who a younger generation of black children are supposed to aspire to be like one day. While I respect Jay-Z for being a "smart" businessman, and by smart I mean able to make money in many different ways, I don't always like what he stands for. And I definitely question his intelligence due to the fact that he married Beyonce...but that's another story. And Jeezy, this is a guy who's money primarily is drug money...illegal. And let's not forget Jay-Z "used to move snowflakes by the oz". Being an educated, black female, I feel that if these are the kind of people the younger generation is looking up to, then we are in trouble. Period.
I am so overjoyed and so proud to be BLACK right now. I am so proud of my country as a WHOLE right now. And I am so proud of MY PRESIDENT right now. When I voted on November 4, 2008, I pledged my unyielding support of President Obama. And I intend to stand by that. Now, there will ALWAYS be ignorant black people. Just as there will ALWAYS be ignorant white people, hispanic people, asian people, irish people, etc. But you don't hear black people going on tv using one person as a scapegoat for other people's lack of intelligence. It seems as if people like Bill O'Reilly are trying to find any and everything they can in order to question the President...and I don't like it. The President is ONE person. Judge him by HIS actions, not the actions of people who just happen to share the same skin color as him.
