'Dancing With The Stars' Crowns A New Champion
Laura Prudom: 'American Idol' Finale: The Final Two Perform
"At the end of the day, you're dealing with cats who think that we as young black men don't know what it is we do. We entrepreneurs, we came from nothing. If you gotta mispronounce my name to try to be funny and you got a Harvard or whatever education you got, then you're really showing how ignorant you are."
-- Hip Hop star Young Jeezy responding to Bill O'Reilly's recent comments about the rapper's song 'My President' being "offensive." (XXL Magazine)

Anyone who holds a "Rapper" in high reguard is a fool. They are just out to make money and damn anyone who gets hurt or misled by what they say and do.

I would never buy anything from JayZee or young Jeezy. These are the most ignorant and ungrateful people on this earth. You do not go out and spew your gutter lyrics where children and decent people are at. His words about a President who kept him safe in this country for the last 7 1/2 yrrs are disgusting. All of Hollywood should just shut up.Who cares about them/.They also are ungrateful. When we are attacked again it may just be in their neighborhood and then who will they be calling for to come and protect their miserable asses?The military who they show no love or respect for. Just call little Jeezey or Jayzee. I doubt that this young thug has the guts to go on the O'Reilly Factor. Has Jayzee or little jizz volunteered to donate money so no more elderly people freeze to death in their homes?Of course not. O'Reilly will. If it weren't for him we wouldn't have Megans Law or Jessicas Law. What have these two paragons of society done for anyone. All of the stuff sold on the Factor go to charity and are made in the US. What has little jizz and big jizz done?NOTHING. All they can do is complain about the country that has made life so great for them. People who cannot express themselves in a decent way.

Why is there a "Black Voices" blog anyway? Seems racial to me. People scream about equality and racial division. Yet, they continue to divide and treat issues unequally because of race. It is obvious anyone can do anything they set their mind to in this country, so stop using the crutch of racism and make it happen for yourself. I have never heard Young Jeezy. But, if what he said is inappropriate, crude, or vulgar it should be denounced. Free speech doesn't mean you can be just as crude or vulgar as you want. It means you are free to express your opinions. Use more appropriate vocabulary and you will be heard by a larger audience.

jeezy and jay z's comments were racist, oh wait, i forgot, only whites can be racists. i am so sick of the double standard. i always said that when the blacks got equality they wouldn't stop there. they would want more and more. well, they will get it next 4 years. then we will see the big backlash. let's hope it isn't too late.

bengrimm5005... Like a good "socialist"? Please... I am more liberal than this country. This is a "Center-Right" country and the word "Liberal" doesn't apply here... So stop acting like it does. Both major parties are the same! And do me, yourself and everyone else here a favor please. Try constructing a sentence that we can comprehend! For the record... I do watch O'reilly, I even listen to his show on the radio when I get the chance. The man is a horrible newscaster and journalist. I listen and watch his show because I am curious to see why he thinks the way that he does. I am not defending Jeezy here just because he is black, because I am not even black. I am defending and pointing out what's true and obvious and Jeezy did that. So you and your conservative friends should swallow your "American" pride. Jeezy should go on his show!
