Good god, just reading the the first twenty responses was hilarious, nothing but nigger stereotypes.
Just about every post, incoherent and littered with “fuck” and complete bullshit.

If I ran a company representing hundreds of years of fine tradition, only to have that image shit on by the pretentious, sheep like rap community. I’d be pissed too.

You fuckin retards. If you want to turn this into a white black war saying that black people have buying power, you are fucking retarded. How many Jay-Z’s would it take to make one Bill Gates? More licks than it takes to get to a center of a tootsie pop! Now lets see about Paul Allen, yep… same thing there. Now lets go to Google’s founders wait a minute… I’m starting to see a pattern. Just because Jay-Z runs his mouth of doesn’t mean shit. The makers of Cristal were trying to be politically correct (this makes sense since they have a PR team). Jay-Z publicity is the big deal, not his net worth. Pull your heads out of your asses and really look around before you post “Hey, I’m a dumbass who likes to run my mouth as long as other people are doing it”. The comment was taken out of context anyways and twisted in front of the public.

JoJoChicago, you said a mouth full. I agree with you! Our dollas can affect every aspect of their lives. This is bigger than m’fn racist comments by Cristal makers. When it’s all said and done them bastards know the deal, that’s why they made a statement when Jigga spoke.

As an African-American male, I’m confused about why the black community always jumps to the defense of hip-hop. Rather than worrying about Mr. Cristal’s opinion of black folks, we need to take a look in the mirror and rid ourselves of this culture of corruption, thugery, and womanizing. Our black sisters need men to take care of their kids, and we’re stuck in prison, “cuz we wanna be real thugz like Pac and Snoop.” Until we have some positive role-models, noone will respect us, or hope we drink their champagne.

“We can’t forbid people from buying it” This statement is exactly the same as the phrase being denied which is “unwelcomed attention” You would never hear Lexus, BMW or Bacardi saying something like that. It infers disassociation with a certain group (hip hop or whoever) like “their definitely not our target audience but if they want to buy it too oh well”

To make their elite clientele happy and protect their brand identity, Cristal has punked a sizable segment of their customers. Issue has nothing to do with Jay-z or people being followers. It’s about self respect-get some and spend your money where its appreciated.

Okay, I don’t get why “we” spend our money on it anyways. It’s gross. I’ve had 20 dollar bottles that tasted a lot better. What “we” need to do is stop living above “our” means and start spending money with “our” own people. On something worth while. Buy some real estate or something that will appreciate over time. Rims, gold teeth and Cristal only depreciate. And everytime we spend money flossing, there’s a hater waiting to take it all from you, plus your life. Rise up people! Wake up!

It seems that the main companies that alot of the black community supports are the same companies that come out and say negative comments. If we go back, Gloria Vanderbilt and her jeans, Tommy Hilfiger and his clothes. It makes no sense. Why don’t they come out and say there comments first before we, the black community support it. Before they got our money it was all good. Once they get it, then its I didn’t make my clothes for black people or I didn’t intend for them to give me business. I say we support the boycott fully and then let’s see how it hurts. I want the general public to realize how powerful the “Black Dollar” is.

This isn’t the first time someone made comments like this, so why are we so disgusted. Many other brands of stated similar comments yet chiefly advertise in the Urban Market. If they really didn’t want our money, they would avoid selling to our market completely. It’s funny if they lost this market and they had a warehouse full of product, how long would you think it would take to send a retration to the press over the comments they made. I’m sure there are many more companies that share this view but they at least know when to shut up. What fool sits around and says I want there money but not yours, A dollar is a dollar. Maybe when they see a decrease in sells they’ll catch up to the 21st Century or when they see their competitors thrive in the wake of their platant Stupity. I guess it’s true there is no darkness like ignorance and Jackass Rouzand is pitch black.

now i must say that white power is the other side of the spectrum and deserves nothing more than a nail in the eye. he gives all white people a bad name and it is unfortunate that the ammendments of the constitution protects people with such convictions

I just wish that people would use real words and try to speak english. people on this website spend more time trying to figuer out how to misspell words than they do speaking correctly. now im not saying that i dont use slang, i just usually try to sound like an educated person. now for the issue at hand. they did not say anything about black people, they said hip hop. and hip hop is bad attention. rappers now a days are krass, rude, unproffesional, and uneducated. the worst part is that most rappers live nothing like what theyre image is and just sell it to a ready and willing audience whom for some reason want to emulate an idiot. this includes jayz whom since the beginning has played his own people like a fiddle. it started when he sold crack to mothers and fathers and still goes on by protraying himself as a “gangsta” still. hes not a “gangsta” and is not “heavy” in “da streets”. you only think he is because when he says so you get goosebumps. this is all to get people behind jay z and def jam. if you feed into it then you deserve to be labeled as bad attention

first of all im a whit man second of all fuck u niggERs you niggers are lucky to be able to purchase alcohol, why would the owner of cristal want attention from this rap crap, rap is just a way for niggers to make money because they cant do anything else. Rap should be a crime most of these niggers are drop-outs that probably couldnt even spell their names correctly and they’re making millions of dollars, damn niggers make me sick

WHITE POWER!!!
