celebrate on twitter huh?
and half those people are not hip-hip
Since when was Bieber hip hop??
or american
or a guy
justin bieber is NOT HIP HOP
hes not even an AMERICAN
he’s not even a guy
He can’t even read
disappointed in some of those posts. Celebrate because the better man won, not because of his skin color.
You can turn a blind eye all you want but racism has always been the underlying issue of having a Black president in a nation that oppressed Blacks.
I’ll tell you one thing, if it was an Asian or Latino candidate, WHITES WOULD STILL BE MAD. Would Blacks be?
real talk. its that he’s a good man while being black.
Hip Hop doesnt always mean people that are rappers but people that love to listen to it or support it. All those people support and listen to hip hop.
yeah its a culture
Wrong!! Half of these people aren’t hip-hop, dumbasses.
@anonymous – You made a good point. The majority of black people only voted for Obama only because he’s an articulate, well-liked black man, not because of what he can actually do in office. Really sad when you think about it.
oh shut up not true. Nobody black was going to vote for Romney. He is a liar. Plus you telling me all those states in the south that are red by the way. Didnt vote for Romney because he was white. You sound silly. Does it helps that he is black…yes. To say all black people voted because he is black is stupid. If it would have been Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton believe black people would have not voted for their ass. Your racist buddy quit being butthurt.
Go suck a penis or something it might make you feel better.
Most of Romney’s votes came from whites because they liked how well he did in ONE debate, NOT because of his VIEWS, or PLANS.
How quickly you forget that LATINOS, ASIANS, former EUROPEANS (forgot about them?), some white American men and WOMEN voted blue. Since when is BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Black? You just won’t admit that people do NOT want the old way of life you are preaching.
NOW, we will see if you SORE LOSERS will SIT DOWN and WORK TOGETHER, or act like a scorned lover and be SPITEFUL for 3 more years.
Since you can’t read, I say it again…the MAJORITY, not all black people, voted for Obama because he’s black first and foremost and you know it. You can talk all that other stuff if you want, but you know its true. The point I was making is that race should not be a factor AT ALL in choosing someone to have this position. Being black, white, Latino, Asian, etc doesn’t make a person qualified to lead a whole nation. And by the way, I didn’t vote for Romney so I can’t be a sore loser.
Well unfortunately we can’t wave a magic wand and rid the world of racism so we have to deal with it. But I would argue that their are more racist white people who voted against Obama (particularly south of the Mason-Dixon) that black people who voted for him on the basis of race. I mean no doubt there was a large majority, but as white people we can’t understand racial solidarity and the significance of having someone that looks like us in a position of power FOR ONCE IN HUNDREDS OF YEARS.
Do the math… Assuming that there are just as many racist people in the black community as in the white community (as statistics have always shown to be true), there are many more white people than black people and much higher concentrations of whites per state than blacks. White people make up 80% of the U.S., blacks make up 12%. That means that for every white person who votes based on race, 6.5 blacks would have to vote based on race to even the odds. You really think black people are 6.5 times more racist per capita than whites? Obviously you have never been to the south. Get the fuck out of here, it just doesn’t add up.
read what Tazzz said because that is the REAL truth.
Ok, one question:
How the FUCK are Justin Bieber,Mariah Carey,Rihanna,Bruno Mars
RAPPERS !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Black people are saying he is black because he is qualified and he is black. Plus he deserves to be president. We know how the world looks at black people and saying shit like a black man can never run a country. He showed that was a lie in my (Maury voice. He is black regardless of what you want to say half white. His dad is African black.
There were 43 white presidents so it is only right that the next future 43 presidents gonna be black.
JUSTICE!
You forgot Native Americans, I think they deserve at least one since we build fast food restaurants on their ancestors burial grounds. But I’m down for this plan, as long as they aren’t black republicans (don’t worry this will never happen or no one in the south would vote)
another L for white cracka community, take that take that
Hell Yeah #2Termz!!!
white people talking about racism are corny as fuck and you are one of them.
Hip Hop celebrates…. hip hop…. so why is Justin Bieber on the list?
Obviously because he’s hip hop??
How? He sings generic teeny bopper music, so he’s FAR from hip-hop.
Farrakhan:
“another L for white cracka community, take that take that”
Im on the floor laughin…thats classic. Smh dyin at this, I actually put this in my fav to look at at couple times a day. LOL
dumb pawn celebrities praising Obama and dumb comments in this blog from people who don’t know shit about how the world works.
IT DOSNT MATTER WHAT COLOR HE IS! wake up zombies.
Tell us then.
If I can see the great conspiracy for world rule then I can see the conspiracy of the good-old-boy network undermining the Black president’s administration. Should I overlook one for the other?
Should I know about the Trilateral Commission and not vote to keep them out of government?
i guess justin bieber and rihanna are the hip hop community , look at waka flocka’s post and see the ignorance , 4 mo years ? really , i guess if obama was white nobody would give a shit , fuck obama and fuck romney and fuck these two parties
Its a great day for America. Im so proud of President Obama and Vice(Scranton’s own) Biden. AHHHHHH ,thats the sweet smell of victory. I love the fact the Republicans threw everything except the kitchen sink ,and lost. They will never win with the tired, discriminatory views they are pushing. Bye bye better luck in 2016 going against Thee most popular democrat of all time, Bill Cli… Im sorry Hillary Clinton. Haaaahaaa!!!
OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
I’ll tell you one thing, if it was an Asian or Latino candidate, WHITES WOULD STILL BE MAD. Would Blacks be?
+++++++++
GOOD POINT 4 DISCUSSION
WE’VE FOLLOWED PROTOCOL & BEEN LEFT OUT THRU MANY ADMINISTRATIONS LED BY THE “TRADITIONAL THINKERS” WHO HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR “ANGLO-SAXON” WAYS
IS IT REALLY ABOUT THE BEST WON? U REALLY THINK MCCAIN OR ROMNEY WOULD RUN THIS NATION BETTER THAN BO?
WOULD U ANGLOS HAVE VOTED 4 AN ASIAN OR LATINO INSTEAD OF BO ROMNEY OR MCCAIN?
LAST TIME I REMEMBER Y’ALL WERE PUSHIN 4 SARAH PALIN
WE AIN’T HEARIN PAUL RYAN & CHRISTIE AIN’T READY
UR TIME IS UP TRADITIONAL THINKERS
Great point and well-worth the discussion… There would be a lot more friction that with Obama, but minorities in this country recognize that the Democratic party protects their rights/interests. Look at the Latino vote this time around. Look at the Asian vote. Democrats have always had a much wider base demographically while Republicans repeatedly rely on white, very rich or very poor, men and make their appeal to that base. Unfortunately, America is only 34% white and that formula no longer works. In my opinion, regardless of the individual I give American minorities enough credit to see through the bullshit and offer their support based on each party’s history, policies, agenda, etc.
In the end, Americans always love to judge based on the person, like American Idol or something. But when it comes down to it, both parties have been pretty consistent over the past 50 years, so we pretty much know what we are getting. Ideology ends up being far more instructive of a president’s actions than their character, personality, etc. If you really want to become informed about politics, study the ideologies not the individuals because in the end they all conform to what their party believes and requires of them…
GREAT ASSESSMENT
ALSO NOTICE HOW NONE EXCEPT U HAVE ANSWERED THE QUESTION
BUT THEY HAD TIME 2 TYPE MORE RACIAL COMMENTS ABOVE
CHEERS TAZZZ
where you getting your numbers from son?
like those whites in the south didnt vote for Romney because he is white. Shut up the old view of America is over. Get over it yall lost lick your wounds and come back.
Rhanna isnt even an American….Corny azz.
@big dick, you assholes can’t take it you lost and we won. Just be a man and admit the better man won and stop being so bitter. You’re probably one of these faggots who hates rap, but only listens to Eminem ’cause he’s white. I’ve met so many of your kind of people and it makes no sense to me. I’m Black and fuck wit’ all kinds of music. I could never be a hypocritical bastard like alot of whites and say I hate death metal, but listen to Suffocation ’cause they have a couple Brothers in the band.
Commercial Hip Hop celebrates, Not real Hip Hop. Get the fuck out of here with this dumb shit!
Fuck you to HHDX for going with this bullshit! Fucking sell outs!
Hip Hop is racist! Bottom line! You already know if any other white president won, even if his politics where better these racist fucks would still be mad. almost all the people that posted are racist and so is HHDX.
Racism is white institution against all non-white people in all aspects of life.
Killed it in one sentence, nice work NOI… Western culture (white people) invented and perpetuated racism throughout history and now we want to complain because minorities act in solidarity? it makes no sense. Racism is very much alive, so any white person who would like to argue that there is only reverse racism nowadays needs to open their eyes. Look at the statistics, minorities are still systematically oppressed although it may not be as visible. People act like black people only started voting since Obama or something. Yea the number has increased, but why wouldn’t it? Go look at the black vote in every election back to the 50’s and tell me they haven’t sided with Democrats (who protect minority interests) consistently. The transition would have happened even sooner if Republicans weren’t the party of Lincoln. Wake up and study some American history, you’ll see where I’m going with this…
racism was not invented you schmuck. wake up and study History period. not just American. high school history doesnt teach you everything. go to college.
Snoop Dogg definitely voted for Obama; now he’s that much closer to getting weed legalized. And in 4 mo years, maybe Flocka will graduate with his bachelor’s in geometry.
Obama has absolutely nothing to do with legalizing marijuana.. He has never once endorsed that position and he never will. That’s a state matter, as anyone who followed the referendums last night knows…
How many elections with white Presidents did black people walk around saying “Oh they only voted for him because he’s white.” NEVER. When Bush won TWICE we got over that shit the next day and moved on.
But white people were never enslaved for 400 years and oppressed for 150 more. So what’s your point? If you can recognize the significance of having a black president then you have obviously never left your suburb where racism doesn’t exist because there is no race to confront. Racism is still a very real problem in American society, whichever direction the hatred is aimed, so to see this sort of turnaround is incredibly hopeful.
I’m white. I didn’t vote for Obama because he’s black and thats symbolically important, I support him because I believe in liberal, progressive policies and can rationalize their political behavior over the past 30 years or so. But your telling me that if someone from your tax bracket, religion or ethnicity was up for election you wouldn’t vote for them. As white america, we don’t have a sense of racial solidarity in this country like blacks of latinos do so we can’t understand it. But the fact that he’s a black president who stands for the disenfranchised, oppressed people in this nation is huge. If he were a black republican (I know, sounds crazy), the support wouldn’t be nearly as huge. You have to understand that its a combination of racial solidarity AS WELL AS the fact that he is moving America in a direction that is better for black america and those who don’t have the opportunity to take advantage of what America has to offer
LL Cool J’s is epic
It’s already been said, but HALF OF THESE PEOPLE AREN’T EVEN HIP-HOP!!
some are not even from the united states LOL
I assume Obama supporters will be partying all night since they don’t have a job to be at tomorrow morning.
Bruce Springsteen is doing fine. What about all you rotted teeth, inbred peckerwoods in the country? Did you waste that monthly check drinking your hate away?
Just what we need, more welfare, food stamps and catering to the poor for the next 4 years from electing Obama again SMH
Don’t be mad white guy, after all your people are the ones getting the majority of welfare ANYWAY.
fuck obama & anybody who love him
To all my brothers and sisters http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTvr0JWmGwo&sns=fb
Peace God! You’re da Truth.
Bieber and Mars are Hip Hop? Umm, no lol
Testing
Oh perfect it works…. message to all black people….you voted for a man simply due to the color of his skin therefore you are the true racists, not the white people who didnt vote for Obama because they didnt agree with his policies…i’m also convinced you havent a clue what obama’s policies even are. Now im aware there are white people who didnt vote for him because of his color but they are a minority unlike the number of blacks who voted him in simple because mr obama resembles them in skin color. Slavery was a horrible horrible thing but why bring it up here? What does slavery have to do with the 2012 Election? Absolutely nothing, but you people, yes i said it, you people always have an excuse for why your people are out of fuckin control. Slavery, racial profiling, etc etc. Put down the 40 ouncer, maybe get an early nights rest and wake up before noon tomorrow and go get a job….you know that thing that mr obama has made nearly impossible to get because things have actually gotten worse since he took office. oh here it comes….you are gonna blame mr george bush….he did spend but he was a wartime president while obama is not and look at how in the hole this country is $$$$ wise. Those “hip-hop” artists who this article makes mention of are millionaires, are you stupid enough to believe they give a flying fuck about you? they don’t, and obama doesnt either, he is like every other president, black or white, who lies his way into the white house…so enjoy it…enjoy this man as the president of this once great country who will continue to put more debt on your laps that’ll be so heavy you wont even be able to get up to take a shit. And to answer something mentioned below, if an asian gentlemen was running for president and every asian person i came across was voting for him simply because he was asian id have a problem with that too. Racism never went away but it only got worse in the last 5 years or so, and you know what? gloves are off now, black people are so blantant about their racism i encourage all white people to do the same.
Racism is white institution against all non-white people in all aspects of life!!!
@Crenshaw, nobody is racist by their own definition of what constitutes racism. Even Hitler didn’t write Mein Kampf thinking of his manifesto as being racist. It’s hard to be objective and see things from somebody elses’ point of view, but it’s easy to be subjective and view the world through your own personal, insular, parochial prism and thus, we only see racism in people who are different to us. Most people would agree racism is an antiquated, nefarious concept, but nobody wants to admit they’re guilty of any aspect of racism and find ways of mitigating themselves from these accusations. One way, as perfectly illustrated by your missive is shift the blame on a group of people who are the antithesis to your view point, ethnicity, class etc. The real fact however, is everyone has a proclivity to be racist, it just manifests itself according to the indivisual. A metaphore that works is we all naturally smell, but some people have poor hygiene, whereas others make an effort to be clean and smell nice. The racism exuded in your post carries a figuratively putrid stench, whereas Brothers who voted for Obama can only be guilty of an innocuous whiff. Racial solidarity doesn’t constitude racism. The only cool thing about this is he’s a death metal fan.
^^ “… only cool thing about this dude is he’s a death metal fan.”
racism isnt an institution you idiot. its been around since ancient times and didnt even deal with skin color. but yes whites brought it to the forefront during the slavery days. and yes whites are some of the most racist humans in history but these days every single race is capable of and responsible for keeping racism alive against one another in ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE!!! stay in school kid.
We won? How racist is that? You fuck “wits” all kinds of music? Apparently you didnt fuck “wits” grammar you blithering zilch lol, Suffocation kicks ass by the way.
Oh lord! People like Waka are the reasons for all the black stereotypes. smh
ahahaha Seriously… Watching democrats and Republicans fighting over their candidates that they never met is like watching 2 10 years old fighting over their favorite comic book heroes…
My imaginary super hero is better than yours because he can shoot laser out of his eyes and blah blah blah.
No matter who, white or black becomes president, we are still going to deposit our money into these banks and in return, they turn around and lend our money back to us and charge us interest.
So go ahead and celebrate or cry all you want… Nothing is going to change because president is just like any CEO of any corporations. They are here to take orders and get paid

DX, you really need to fix the comment section. I didn’t use any cuss words, offensive or use any links but my comment keep getting blocked, what’s the deal?
No matter who the president is, we are still going to deposit our money into these banks and in return, they are going to lend our money back to us and charge us interest.
So enjoy your another fake elections Democracks and Repulicocks

I’m out
I can’t say I’m surprised by the comments. Every single person below me is an uneducated racist retard. If you voted for or are making an argument for either of the 2 major party candidates you have NO CLUE what you are talking about much less what is going on in this country. just shut the hell up and enjoy your life because you’re not gonna have one for much longer. and NO racism was not invented and is NOT an institution, that is the most ignorant and inane idea I’ve ever heard.
Another $1 billion spent on another fake election and 2 sides arguing over who’s stupid? Eh, what can you do but laugh
try $6 billion my brotha but yes exactly.
Damn! $6 Billion? And people wonder why we don’t have funds to help hurricane victims…
America, You get the Bozack!
it’s amazing to me in this day in age, people still think president has any power
yeah yeah we get it. Obama has a whole team of white people in suits behind him. but he can still run shit and decide a lotta things.
funny ain’t it, when nothin bad goes on people say the president doesn’t have any power, but soon as something fucks up or a bad law is passed thru… who’s the first finger pointed at… thats right
Snoop, your president is only half black. And no… He’s not going to smoke weed with you.

Obama supporters have to be the most stupid childish people in the world, you ask them why they support Obama and they get confused and start stuttering lol. They have been calling Romney racial slurs throughout, if this were the other way round it would not be accepted. These below average IQ welfare zombies make me feel sick
Communism coming our way, great.
LOLL! at any fool who votes for the same canditate as idiots like wacka flocka flame, wiz khalifa and the game. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
#GOBACKTOSCHOOL!!!!
I respect Romney because he managed to get a lot of votes with barely any celebrities on his side. But Obama has so many dick riders it’s not even funny…
yea he only used 60 million from his rich buddies to try to wint the election. lol.
all these artist have been added to the black list for being racist. yes even Bieber.
Some seriously wise comments from these artists… so proud that we all listen to them
Once again. Racism is white institution against all non-white people in all aspects of life!!!
Ain’t you got some jews to hate on?
