'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)

Daily layoffs are the norm anymore. If you still have a job you are really lucky. I lost mine a few weeks ago (thanks WaMu). The first week I earned about $132 doing this, the 2nd week I doubled that and so far this week I have earned $350+ it isn't $4000 a week like some people say (maybe someday) but it helped me pay some bills I would not otherwise had been able to pay

I don't usually watch Bill O'reilly but right after the Inauguration porgram, I couldn't be bothered reaching for the report when he came on and I saw his piece on Jeezy Jazzy Jeff (or whatever the f* his name is). N*****, if you came from nothing why you act like nothing? The President's success is his own - not yours, not that fluffy lipped guy J-Zay???Mr Beyonze...
That rap was so unnecessary and just because the President is half black, doesn't meant it give you the right to run around slapping on people's face. It's positive for all Americans and the world not a weapon for you uneducated people to use in your rhyming. That's all it is, a Rhyme. That's not talent. Get a life!!!!!!

why don't bill o'reilly show and talk about in American history during slavery the iron instruments used by, only, white slavemasters especially, the ones over Black Africans' mouths to control their ability to talk and punishment African-Americans,slaved. why don't bill o'reilly supporters advocate that the history of slavery in America that causes ill will, hard feelings and cruelty especially toward the Black African female, now, an African-American, be shown on the history channel equally as much as the malevolence of hilter, maybe that will help educate rappers and o'reilly supporters to understand the history of indigence, disrespect and put down.

Man i am going to be honest, as a young black man myself, i feel ashamed, because i do not know much about Bill O'reilly, yet i agree with him on the subject. We as black people have to realize that just because a black man (rapper) is successful, does not mean it is well deserved, i mean who cant get up there and rap about their life, and how many women they sleep with, what kinda car they drive and how much they spend on jewelry, they are hypocrites, and they really do not know the true meaning of having a black president, most of them make songs about it just to piss on the white mans name. Talk about making changes in your lives, rap about something that makes sense, there are a few rappers out there who rap about more than just the obvious. Young Jeezy needs to realize that you dont have to respond to everything gesture someone makes at you, Bill O'reilly is doing it for a reason, to prove that you rappers are idiots, and you are helping him in that matter. Dont give him the satisfaction of being right, im not saying he is racist because i really dont care, but let the world see that you do not have to have a fancy harvard background to be educated. Use some of that money to better yourself, expand your knowledge and make a difference, only then will you gain the respect that you so desparately seek!!!

Young Sleazy doesn't have a clue, and neither do you. O'Reilly speaks for many who are politically astute and care about this country. I challenge Sleazy to go on and confront him. By the way, black or white, Obama is my president too, and I expect him to look after my interests as well.

Damn, get over it will you. It was a terrible part of our history and we should learn from it. Rather, it is people like you who want to ram it down our throats at every opportunity. Let us just perpetuate the sins of the past and allow it to keep an entire race of people down. Who is the racist here? One more thing, learn how to write.

you know just reading some of these comments I realize there are so many stupid educated ppl there because ppl who left most of the comments have some degree of education but to make such statements your views on African Americans are unacceptable.For those of you who who speaks on young jezzy's I.Q. I am sure that Mr. O'reilly would completely disagree with I mean this guy is in his 20's and a millionaire sorry stupid ppl dont do that tons of ppl can rap also I dont feel that the comments made in the song were racist at all though it showed his disapproval of George Bush which the majority of american's had before he left office and o yea gentleman the president is black get over it.
