If a country band made a song saying that a President shouldn't be killed, I doubt Jesse Jackson would be upset.
A Letter to the Law Dem boy wanna talk… [indistinguishable] Whatcha gon do if ya got one gun? I sing a song for the hero unsung with faces on the mural of the revolution No looking back cos’ in back is what’s done Tell the preacher, God got more than one son Tell the law, my Uzi weighs a ton I walk like a warrior, from them I won’t run On the streets, they try to beat us like a drum In Cincinnati, another brother hung A guinea won’t see the sun with his family stung They want us to hold justice but you handed me none The same they did to Kobe and Michael Jackson make them the main attraction Turn around and attack them Black gem in the rough You’re rugged enough Use your mind and nine-power, get the government touch Them boys chat-chat on how him pop gun I got the black strap to make the cops run They watching me, I’m watching them Them dick boys got a lock of **** in them My people on the block got a lot of pok* in them and when we roll together we be rocking them to sleep No time for that, because there’s things to be done Stay true to what I do so the youth dream come from project building Seeing a fiend being hung With that happening, why they messing with Saddam? Burn a Bush cos’ for peace he no push no button Killing over oil and grease no weapons of destruction How can we follow a leader when this a corrupt one The government’s a g-unit and they might buck young black people Black people In the urban area one I hold up a peace sign, but I carry a gun. Peace, ya’ll.” again, if the same was said about Obama, all hell would break loose
They don't hate black people, but they'll dabble in race baiting to hate on Democrats. Any trick in the book to trash Dems.
Uh....George H. W. Bush invited EASY-E to lunch. No one cared about that...Please, look at E's lyrics. You pulled the same lyrics from one song that every negative Nancy at Fixed News looked at. If you think that segment of the song is not implying a metaphor or some sort of symbolism as well, you don't understand the function of a poet.
I do believe country bands have sung about carrying a gun. I believe that people in the tea party have carried real guns to rallies. Are you upset when tea party party members carry real guns to rallies and Republican members of congress want to have their guns with them or only when Common writes about carrying a gun?
No one has a problem with him saying he carries a gun. That was the only part of the poem I liked It reminds me of "Speak softly and carry a big stick". People have a problem with the the Burn Bush and the glorification of terrorists and cop killers.
What's the big deal? The NFL, NBA, and NCAA send entire teams of thugs to the white house every year...
http://www.futureproducers.com/foru...ommons-view-interracial-relationships-123469/ Can you imagine if Bush has invited someone that spoke out against interracial relationships (except to have sex with them, that's cool)? The media would have a field day.
LOL, off the top of my head, George W. Bush nominated a member of the CCC, f/k/a the White Citizens Council (look it up, I doubt you have any idea what it was) to sit on the United States Court of Appeals. This was when he was not busy trying to add discrimination against sexual orientation into the constitution. The amount of casual and hardcore racist, misogynists, bigots and other clowns who passed through his doors on his watch is literally too long to even start naming names. Many of them, e.g. Rick Santorum, of course, had official "R-s" after their names. Now they're busy running for president. Be honest with me, Commodore, are you an actual poster, posting actual thoughts? Or just ****ing around, because you really embarrass yourself pretty much every time you hit "submit reply". Maybe you should use the "preview" button to reflect upon, and thus deter you from, future humiliation. Good night, sweet prince.
so just b/c 1 person does something, the next get's to make the same mistake? Just b/c Bush sucked at president, means Obama get's a free pass to suck as well ? That will be the Democrat excuse come election time. "well bush stunk it up, Obama has not done any worse"
do they talk about burning a president? do these tea party people enter the white house ?? nice comparrison dude.
democrats will always support the thugs of america, case closed. With out those votes, no democrats would win elections... pretty easy.
"Burn a Bush" doesn't mean "Kill." It's a metaphor and burning bushes are an evocative image. You can't say "Burn and Obama" because it doesn't make sense. But saying "Burn a Bush" means to kill Bush is like saying that "Kick Obama out of the White House" means to actually physically kick him out the door. I'm just going to say it, if you think Common is a thug, you are probably a racist. Thugs are criminals, period. So if he hasn't broken a law or done something violent, how is he a thug? You can call somebody a "thug" within a sport because they break the rules therefore in the context of that sport they are thugs and it's understood we aren't talking about being an actual thug, but there is no context for calling Common a thug. It's just a standard racist way to describe black people.
so he's talking about burning a bush in the ground, b/c that bush in the ground is "Killing over oil and grease no weapons of destruction" right? yall don't have lie all the time.
Common has spent his entire career speaking out against the thugs/violence and educating the public. ****ing ridiculous how r****ded Fox News listeners/defenders are. If you want to talk about thugs, why not start with that dumb b****, Sarah Palin? She openly called for violence (and I don't have to take words out of context to prove that, her statements are, what they are) and put out a hitlist (yes, an actual hitlist, not using the word bush in a metaphor, an actual hitlist, with names and crosshairs). Somebody on that list got shot, and you braindead r****ded crooks use your spin power to convince your r****ded following that the two are not related. Smmfh.
