son you the funniest dude in the world! (perhaps because, like the Senator, Common is also light skinted, and gifted with words. (I wonder if they share a common white ancestor.) but you speak so well 2 and never are held accountable for your actions! your just black as all fuck like biggie my nizza! lolol! you a funny dude son!

People with the ability to think critically will not jump on the popular bandwagon of voting for Obama. He has a good presence but provides no sound backing or plan for any of the issues we face as a nation. He is simply a good speaker….plus, he has been going to that church for the last 20 years….what about the first 26 years? Muslim?

Damn, black culture is so damn confused. It must suck having to worry about what everybody thinks about you all the time. If you dress too “street” then you get labeled a thug and cant get a real job. If you dont, then you get labeled a sell out and a race hater. If you date outside your race, then people like Common will hate on you for bailing out on your sistas. If you only go black, then your a racist.

On the real though, Common is a lying a$$ fruit bag who acts one way and does another (a la Magic Johnson). Which reminds me, is there a better name for a guy who beat AIDS than Magic Johnson?

“Which reminds me, is there a better name for a guy who beat AIDS than Magic Johnson?”

I just spit my food out on the desk while laughing, thanks a lot.

Man fuck Oprah that fat bitch dont run anything except white womens pocketbooks.as far as dating snow bunnies nigga do you,but not the fat white hoes go for the Jessica Biel types.@ ease cuz

Ey, common is a friggin 2 faced mulatto that is confused about his own “blackness”, he trying too hard to be “black” no one is buying it, taking about love and preaching shit, fuck him and his lame ghey music.
That pastor is a hipocrite, he should at least stand up for his opinion, but now hes crying like a lil baby! Obama should diss commons bitch ass for good!!

I know where you got this one BALLZ

Up YO MAMAS ASS

Common at Trinity on New Years eve this year.

South side stand up.

Trinity is a great loving place. Why is it that white people always say we need to get our stuff togeather. And when we get togeather we’re seperatist.

Anyway Trinity is a great place if you’re ever in the chi you should go by there.

>Um, speak for yourself.

thats why you live in Master uh Mommies house still to this day .Game is to be sold .

While you may think Common is known for hate I think most people, including myself, associate him with love not “racist shit.” Actually I think thats what most people associate you with…The fact is nobody gives a fuck who the Jeremiah Wright of Rap is except you and your crazy little world full of obsessing over other people’s lives. No one else could have made the connection except you because we’re not all over Common’s dick and want to find a new way to get attention by talking shit about rappers over the internet. Do yourself and everybody else a favor and get your own life..if at all possible. Thanks.

I always thought Common was on some NOI Louis Farrakhan type shit. Who knew?

One of your better columns Bol.

“Being considered progressive amongst the Oprah Winfreys in this country (and hence the Barack Obamas as well) is merely a matter of dressing like a fruit and condemning your fellow black man for loving white women. (As if.) Meanwhile, I’ll almost certainly be branded a racist just for exposing this shit.”

This is so true.

Bol= Unkle Rukus of Blogging

We all know Bol, doesn’t like Common or Rev. Wright cause he speaks the unwanted truth about the oppressive “white” Government.

You gotta realize, Bol is really a white guy, hence the type of Rap he likes. His affinity for Beastie Boys, and hipster rap is unparalleled.

90% of Bol’s friends are white, so when black conscience rappers make their points, he takes offense to that. He calls Rev. Wright’s church “racist” cause as a white man, he was actually offended by his remarks. But nothing that Rev. Wright said that was racist towards a group.

The reason why he is mad at Common, is because Common mentions about dating white women and Bol has only dated white women. So Bol took offense to it. That’s why he called him a fruit.

What reason do you have, to be mad at Common and call him names? None. When People tell the truth, others are offended.

Moral of the story= Bol dates white women

Gist of the story= Bol was offended by Common’s line of “Black men walking……..”

Where the WHITE WOMEN AT!!!!… I need my dinner cooked, house cleaned, someone to degrade and still listens to what I tell her!…

He stole that chickens comin home to roost speech from a malcom x speech from when jfk got assassinated

I toldt y’all lite-skint people was making a comeback!

Al B. Sure where you at nigga?!?!

I just need to say two things “Fuck Obama and Fuck Bol”.Bobby Brown for President. Let’s go!

Common’s last album was decent.

It’s always been about who you know and not what you stand for. Common is corny though. Ain’t he like Kanye’s slave or something? He lost all credibility and respect to rock tight vests and shit. What a lame.

Black people love them some light skinned people. They are all up on them. When they get a tan though, they fall back. They say shit like “oh damn you black now! You was so light before!”

I’m not so sure White people love light skinned black people. I think White people like Africans. Obama is African, so they love that he isn’t a homemade bro. As for Common, I’m not sure that white people are up on him. I think he gets love from buppy sistas with college edumacations. Whateva, Hilary got that Rothschild love, so Obama might have to fall back and Common….cmon Street Kings?

fuck all dis shit. VOTE 4 PEDRO!

“He never really was against white people or another race. It was more against an establishment that was oppressing people.”

That quote should explain it all. Wright is no more racist, than Chuck D is. He spoke what he saw. The establishment folks are using religion, and black folks desires to organize against black progress, and its pitiful. All of a sudden, now we are the racists. The oppressors are dissecting the sound bites and an end result will be “their” of re-shaping the message in black churhes where people of prominence appear, for fear it will be replayed elsewhere. Sad its to the point where blacks can’t have a private “community” convo, on sunday anymore.

For one, we dont have enough power to be racist. We affect no change, nor prevent anyone from doing anything as an institition. Never have. The mere fact that you think you could be confused as one (racist), shows me how confused they have you boys, out there.
Tell me this Bol, have you ever gotten/seen any soundbites, or video of the priest reactions, and dialogue with the catholic community after touching up all those kiddie booties? No, only in our churches

Bol sounds like Elizabeth from the view, the other day… She is part of the establishment, and she knows they are wrong, but… She feels its also wrong for the oppressed to express views about their oppressors that would be deemed racist..

Bol is a bitch!!!

Has anyone considered that this situation is a classic spin move perpetuated by the Clintons and their supporters. The facts are rather simple if you have come to that conclusion. No candidate knows what the hell they are doing. McCain is a capitol hill whore. Hilary is a political maverick who holds no water. Obama is youthful and has a powerful delivery in speeches, however he doesn’t know how to run a country. Senator’s vote on laws, Obama skimly voted or looked to actively participate in the on goings on the hill. Let’s be honest young black men, WE have NO candidate. There is no candidate that can save the nation. As a nation we have to save ourselves, no one politician can have a cure-all plan. Not gonna happen. As for Mr. Bols, you are very witty however have you considered that we as black americans are all mulatto. Is there any slave house that master didnt visit. Keep in mind the South wanted not only to keep there plantations but also there concubines. STOP it Bol’s you are creating a divide that isnt needed. I wonder though because you are a dark skinned man like myself do you feel the way you do because you think lightskinned people have advantages in life and women that you do not possess? If you do feel that way you are wrong. By the way to the young bloods, bang as many white girls as possible until everyone is badge!

COMMON AND Jeremiah Wright BOTH LOOK MOSTLY WHITE!

SELF-HATE????

Come on ya’ll!!

- Light skinned vs. dark skinned?
- Bringin’ up Common lyrics from +10 years ago and trying to make them relevant in 08??
- Callin’ a brotha a fruit because of his choice in odd apparel?
- Bashing the good Rev for real talk amongst his people??

WTF! That’s some straight slave mind bullshit.
First of all… stop relying on the mainstream new to get your information. That shit is ridiculous. Second… go to tha youtube and watch the ENTIRE sermons that these so called “controversial” sound bites were taken from, and tell me he’s wrong. The rev was speaking truth to the people. With the exception of the aids comments, Wright was on point.
And finally…. Leave Common alone. This House Nigga vs. Field Nigga attitude has got to stop!!

Never rely on the media for the whole story!! Seek the truth out for yourself and come to your own conclusions.

Let me help you clowns out.

Main Entry: rac·ism
Function: noun
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

equiv·o·cal
Function: adjective
1 a: subject to two or more interpretations and usually used to mislead or confuse

J.Wright hasn’t said a single thing that can be reasonably considered racist. Maybe a bit paranoid (and that’s a big maybe), just a tad bit, but who can realy blame him? Jim Crow isn’t ancient history & it’s quite obvious that something is purposely fucked up in this country (probably more to do with class).

And perfering white (or whomever) women’s looks to other racist is not “racist” in any any significant way. If you happen to like blonde hair and pale skin instead of brown skin and dark hair then more power to you broham. Bad parenting usually produces idiot kids not your genetic makeup (not counting mutations).

…and Common is a “fruit” becasue of his obsequiousnes and over the top pandering to his core audience (educated dummies, mostly females), it just so happens that he knows how to rap better than the average bear.

His clothes are a matter of personal taste…but when you see someone dressed like that you can safely assume that they were in the mirror for quite a while getting the look just right, like a woman would, hence, he’s correctly classified as a fruit.

You’re welcome.
