Jay-Z, Young Jeezy Put on a Vulgar and Disgraceful Display of Racial Bigotry

Jay-Z My President is black Remix LIVE 1-18-09 from pleasedontstare on Vimeo.

Mere hours before Barack Obama took the oath of office to become our next president, the best Jay-Z and Young Jeezy could do was bring their ghetto mannerisms to Washington D.C. This is the very thing that Barack Obama is talking about when he stated that we need to grow up. Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr., Malcolm X, Coretta Scott King, Johnnie Carr, John Lewis, Rev. Joseph Lowery and all the other civil rights leaders did not fight and die for us to call each other niggers or niggas, or whatever ridiculous variation there is to this word. It is unconscionable that these two men could spew this kind of vile garbage at an event in Barack Obama's honor. Jay-Z and Young Jeezy, do you ever wonder why you are the last people invited to events such as this? It's your behavior and your language. Shameful and it needs to stop sooner rather than later. The last thing Barack Obama needs is to be associated with this crude behavior. The event was not the place to display such crude language and to divide rather than unite.
