bill o'reilly and dennis miller fry jay-z, young jeezy for "my president is black" performance in DC!

Filed under: news,obama

yeah, that’s the longest title i’ve ever had on this blog. but this is pretty huge! bill o’reilly and dennis miller (yeah, the comedian. his political commentary is incredible though.) criticize rappers young jeezy and jay-z for their “my president is black” performance in DC over inauguration weekend.

i think that dennis miller keeps it as trill as possible, and while o’reilly is always a jackass, his reasoning is pretty sound. i hear both sides, though. they weren’t trying to be racist, but they were simply expressing their joy with the fact that just a couple decades ago, black people were being hosed, hung, beaten, killed, shot, for nothing. now, a person with the same skin tone is running the country. i can’t call it just yet. what do you think!?

I am riding with Jeezy & Jay on this. I don’t see nothing racist about the song or even trying to build a racial divide. Not to mention that divide has been there for 400 or more years now anyway!! Why didn’t they blast the Martin Luther Walked part?? Now all of a sudden “we” are the ones trying to seperate ourselves!! Let us live a little. If it wasn’t for people like Hov a lot of these youngins wouldn’t have been as involved with making this change possible.

i think jay’s verse wasn’t that bad at all. it was just puns for days. it wasn’t even that clever or anything, either. he just kept it trill. he was just saying that his president was black. i didn’t hear anything racist in the few bars he dropped.

Papa bear always finds something to complain about. And again it was someone that’s black and from the hiphop community. Freedom of expression!!! I mean papa bear and miller are as right wing as they get

how come there’s no option to say nobody has a compelling argument?

Comment by judge mental 01.24.09 @ 10:07 pm

I don’t agree with O’Reilly, but I do think that now is the time that we need to start paying closer attention to our actions and watching what comes out of our mouths. Jay-Z is, and has been, a very high profile public figure, and he should carry himself as such. If Russell Simmons would have done the same thing, all hell would have broken loose. If Jay ever wants to reach that status he should keep that in mind. Yes, our president is Black, but he’s also kind, articulate, strong, and many other things. This is why he is president, and someone like Al Sharpton never made it to office.

People like Bill O’Reilly are just WAITING for an excuse to speak out and probably scoured the internet for this footage. We should act like we have some damn sense. I know one thing, I like Young Jeezy’s music, but just because I’m black doesn’t mean that he represents me or what I stand for and that he needs to be my spokesperson.

Comment by Aura 01.24.09 @ 10:13 pm

Can I choose option D?
Bill O loves going on hip hop artist & it’s just a song. I mean, who the hell goes around thinking, “dawg, Bill is about to go on me after I say this?” Jeezy knew the track would sell & Jay….I didn’t really see much wrong with what he was saying. I just took it as an “F you” to Bush, not really racist.
…maybe I’m wrong

Modi I can’t watch that shit. Its gonna do nothing but make me mad. Its saturday night..I’m chillin’..Anybody got a problem with Obama too bad…we had a prob with Bush for 8 yrs and nobody ddi anything about it. The man’s not even in office a week and they tryin to find stuff to bitch about…geez. give it a rest.

im proud that we (the country) finally have a president of african decent. i think about all that my race has overcome and to get to this point is an awesome feat. BUT me being the sensible person that i am, i also realize that ‘we’ are not the only people that voted for barack. he is the president of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, not BET or TV One. i have been witness to many people chanting along the lines of, “WE in the white house now!” . . . are you serious?! i stood in line and waited 4 hours to vote for Obama, watched cnn intently as the polls came in, and like many people i believe much celebration was in order. while receiving automated text messages from various clubs, promoters and friends, i asked myself would barack, the president-elect (at that time), want for me to go out to the club and get drunk and grind on females in the name of our/his accomplishment . . . obvious answer. ok, im getting off task but anyway, barack was able to win by including and embracing; my president is black isnt too embracing. i dont believe that i’d have a problem with the song if it was uplifting but it is the stereotypical hood rich, bling bling hip hop song. blue lambos and black benz’s . . . thanks barack . . .

Bill O’Reilly is one of those people who I find it hard to agree with no matter how lucid his points may be due to his overall disposition. Other than that I co-sign Modi, Aura, and 2 Hood.

Comment by Joe D. 01.25.09 @ 2:46 am

eddie limo just laid down the realest answer of all time.

Comment by modi 01.25.09 @ 3:47 am

Everybody got that text on election day talking about helping Bush move out right? Its a joke BillO damn…..

Jeezy was just playing into the environment of the crowd and Jay’s line was just nailing it all home. Let’s not forget that these cats are trying to sell records. Jeezy’s album wouldn’t have been called the recession if the us treasury was in a surplus. “Fuck Bush” is desensitized phrase in our culture that sums up all the negative feelings toward the GWB presidency and I don’t think these cats were necessarily trying to enact change by using the term. They were just getting an inauguration weekend crowd hype. I understand how BillO & Miller could take it as a negative in the black community but where O’Reilly goes wrong EVERY TIME (see DameDashCamRon interview) is that he attacks individuals’ character instead of trying to flesh out the bigger social impact.

Thats all. My President is Black.

Comment by Mr. Anderson 01.25.09 @ 11:42 am

Lets Be Real! Obama is the man! On Tuesday I was acting a mess – just Full of joy! Our President is BLACK! There is nothing wrong with that. Kudos to the people who got BUSH out of office and put Obama in – US, THE PEOPLE. Bill Oreilly is racist and he looks for the first opportunity to make black people look foolish on national television with little 5 second clips and half truths! And where were JayZ and Jeezy to defend themselves! Or atleast ablack intellectual to defend their actions. Bill Oreilly is simply entertainment – I def don’t pollute my mind with his garbage. He’s just a funny clown!

And if you didn’t notice they were going on Barack too. The speech was deep. They are criticizing it, not even fully giving him his props.

Republicans are just fighting for some sort of control.

Comment by McNerd 01.25.09 @ 12:52 pm

What gives these people the right to express personal opinions to the entire country and make it sound like educated anaylisis of the situation.
Dennis miller is a standup comedian! I dont consider anything either of these two say valuable at all.
Regardless of wether jay/jeezy were wrong, the two frat-bro’s rant afterward is disgusting. . .sneering and giggling condescendingly as they attempt to analyize the african-american condition in the country, as if it were their duty and as if they could possibly ever comprehend hundreds of years of oppression with their closed, right wing minds. It is scary to see how comfertable they are in the spot light, as if they deserve to have the attention of the american people.
When dennis miller has the authority to tell the american people what to think, our country is truly ass-backwards. . .lets hope Obama does something about that

Comment by benamin 01.25.09 @ 5:36 pm

I didnt really care to read too many responses after I read Aura’s response. She’s ABSOLUTELY correct on this issue. No point in saying anything else. Right now people’s emotions are being used against them so masterfully that it isnt even funny.

If none of you have ever watched the movie Usual Suspects, first kick yourselves, and secondly go watch it. Once you watch it realize that right now we are in the real life version and the movie is ending. He just walked out the police station (or in this case, the white house). If you cant think for yourself and dont understand what that statement means, then you simply have no hope. Dubya was “stupid” for a reason and Obama is his complete polar opposite for a reason. Politicians are more than trained/paid actors, now they are your gods.

Topics like this, are just ANOTHER way to keep people’s minds off the important things. We are about to be for some fun times. Mark my words.

I gotta say ditto to what my man Mr. Anderson said. DITTO. the new site is hot Modi, keep up the good work.

Comment by DrSpaceman 01.25.09 @ 9:59 pm

and how the hell does thing decide what my photo is? wow, finding all the little intricacies is cool

Comment by DrSpaceman 01.25.09 @ 10:00 pm

Modi Real Estate sounds crazy, i mean you don’t passively talk about conspiracy theories unless you have some untapped knowledge. Damn, at least talk about the proof you have instead making some fairly obvious observations. Tell US what’s important, since you seem to know.

Comment by DrSpaceman 01.25.09 @ 10:08 pm

dr spaceman, judging from your avatar, there really is no need for me to say anything directly to you. if you want PROOF go find it on your own and stop letting everyone else control your thought process. Of course you’re going to say “i have my own mind and make my own thoughts and decisions…..blah blah blah.” Of course you do, of course you do.

Modi has all of my previous posts in which i gave more than sufficient proof and things to research.

Comment by realestate 01.25.09 @ 10:34 pm

WOW Classic. i honestly dont know how to take this.

Comment by W Squared Himself 01.25.09 @ 11:24 pm

Like Jeezy says in the song “Obama for mankind, we ready for damn change, so yall let the man shine”

No matter what happens from here on out, they’re going to knock it. Everyday they talk about Obama on the news they find a way to throw race in it. EVERYBODY Black, white, spanish, asian was ready for Bush to roll!! So be it.

Comment by www.2hood4hollywood.blogspot.com 01.25.09 @ 11:24 pm

LOL, I don’t care who is president, It justs feel great to have bush out I mean 8yrs fo’real tho. And as far as Bill, Bill could suck a dick, gag, and choke to death on vomit, and I will the same as if I just farted in the pool… Look back, side to side and keep moving. People chill the fuck out, just because Our president is black and you might be too, don’t mean your sucessful too. You still gotta keep grinding… I’m just saying…

Comment by We$ 01.25.09 @ 11:25 pm


I agree with LIMO!!
AGH I KNEW REAL ESTATE WOULD COME OUT HIS DARK CORNR!

I am not siding with any of them, but if black people want to be Nationalist- let them be! Damn, who cares of they are taking to much possession over the president! let them! if this will chnage the current pschological state of the majority of blacks, than it is okay. We have been nourished for hundreds of years to think that we are never to amount to anything becuase we are black and black does not equal success. Young Jeezy is/was oone of the millions of blacks who are not educated becuase of society’s barriers on education. Jay-Z may have been in the wrong- but fuck it! politics gets dirty.

And politicians have been un touchable- you essentially cannot call up and say “hey let me schedule a meeting for such and such” yea its sketch. now Obama just solidifies that R E.

I am very interested in compiracy threories, i find them amusing and a head ache- its like reading Decartes! With these theories, you really can not prove them with perfect parenthetical notations and citations. So, for now they are neutral in my book.

“I am very interested in compiracy threories, i find them amusing and a head ache- its like reading Decartes! With these theories, you really can not prove them with perfect parenthetical notations and citations. So, for now they are neutral in my book.”

This entire statement is an error in itself. For you see, NOTHING you see on the news or read in the newspaper can be “proven”. The media tells you THEIR side of the story, the same way a criminal tells you his side, or a cheating spouse will tell you his/her side of the story. There are ALWAYS 3 sides. Party A, Party B, and THE TRUTH. Unfortunately most people dont care to research anything for themselves and only choose to take what’s given or told to them. People are for the most part little robots, who when programmed a certain way only do what everyone else does, and do what theyre told. Dont believe me, watch WALL-E and tell me what you can learn from that movie. It’s all subliminal messages and theyre laughing right in our faces. People can call me anything they want, but just know that I RESEARCH every tid bit of “news” before i believe it. The same way your media tells you Israel is this great place and Hamas are these evil “terrorist” organization. How about you watch this first, AND THEN RESEARCH IT to see if it’s true: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6604775898578139565

Nevertheless, my point is that as long as people continue to think based off of EMOTION, then they are in fact already being controlled. Emotion has NOTHING to do with rationale. So for future reference understand that when you or anyone gets upset, angered, or confused over “conspiracy theories”, realize that you DONT want to know the truth and only believe what you have been programmed to believe. You instead let your emotion cloud your rationale and your judgement in fear that you are “too different” or “think too much”. Youre way too intelligent for that and I hope you realize that maybe, just maybe i speak some truth and hold validity in my comments.

This year the world will see devastation in our economy, more bailouts, more wars, more troops being trained as “peace police” and stationed throughout the US in case people start rioting once the economic crash comes, more loss of civil liberties & rights, more starvation, genocide, and food poisoning throughout the world, higher taxes, more inflation, more job losses, and many other things. Oh and did i mention that there WILL be another 9-11 type catastrophe in the near future. And by near future I mean within your god obama’s first 2 years. I guarantee it. People will be BEGGING him to protect them and BEGGING to have even more rights stripped away from them, the same way they did Bush after 9-11 in exchange for the government’s “protection”. And guess what, it will all be blamed on “terrorists”. You see, it’s ALL planned and it’s all setup to make you THINK it’s all real when it really isnt. The world is nothing but a stage. We’re nothing but the extras.
