California crooner Miguel seemed compelled to let loose a little social commentary via Twitter earlier in the week, and in the process spurred an online debate thanks to his somewhat controversial comments. The singer’s thoughts on ethnicity and culture began with a Tweet concerning those who wear the cross around their necks, as he referred to it as “a Pagan symbol” historically speaking.
Miguel later shared his thoughts on race as he referred to black people as being “the most judgmental people in the world” and also expressed his appreciation for “those who choose to think and act for themselves regardless of ethnicity or culture.”
In total, the singer sent out close to 10 Tweets addressing race and culture, although he didn’t interact with anyone directly during his brief Twitter vent.
Miguel released his debut album, All I Want Is You, in 2010 and has since appeared on records with Kendrick Lamar, Mariah Carey, and J. Cole. His most recent album, Kaleidoscope Dream, was released last year.

“The black man is the most copied man on this planet bar none. … wanna be a nigga but don’t no body wanna be a nigga”- Paul Mooney
so yeah you’re wrong,
WTF does that have to do with anything?
You realize you’re dumb right?
just bec i like rap doesnt mean im trying to be black LOL. i dress very white and i like rap music like i like other genres of music.. its a misrepresentation to think all people outside black race who like rap want to be black..
thats like saying all black people who like anything other than rap music want to be anything but black.
Just another white boy wanna act like he’s the consummate rap fan, generalization the Black race while subtly boosting his. Whites are the original haters, deceivers, judgmental followers.

^ TRUTH

Whay are the Christian holidays the same days as the Pagans? -Pimp C
*why
It’s not like he’s lying.
stop pretending to be ballers and rappers. also stop selling dimes of weed and rap about selling a QP of crack
“that’s why I appreciate those who choose to think and act for themselves regardless of ethnicity or culture”
Real ass shit. I’m black too and I know that when it comes to anything dealing with Christianity, black people (especially here in the south) can be the most defensive motherfuckers in the world at times. If you live under a stupid rock and didn’t know by now, imma let you in on something; Christianity is a ripoff of pagan religions before. Everything about it, from the stories, to the symbols, to the holidays, etc. Don’t tell a hyper religious nigga this though, they’ll get mad and lie up and down for Jesus.
The sooner all people let go of that religious bullshit, the better off humanity will be. You don’t need an imaginary man in the sky to have morals, freedom, justice and equality and peace.
^^ you history channel ass nigga!
smart negus
how’s this controversy? This is real shit. Niggaz hate on each other just for being successful. We need to do more to help change that viewpoint cause honestly, when one of us makes it, we all make it. I know it dnt seem like that but that’s how it should be.
Dx is trying to duplicate the Scarface views, pushing that race conversation.
can only report what dumb shit comes out of people like scarfaces mouth
this isnt dumbshit or biased what miguel said is REAL life shit..diffence
Just like Dx had to report V-Nasty getting a deal the next day? Right.
nothing to see, keep it moving
Unfortunately what Miguel was speaking on has ALOT of truth. I am a 32 year old Black man and I definitely feel like we as Black people are judgemental as hell. It seems like we have SOME black women that judge Black men that date outside of their race and then you have Black men who are obsessed with the sexuality of other men. Shit is retarded as hell if you ask me.
You’re either gay, or date a white woman……
Newsflash, whites hate on each other too. Not blond and blue eyed, not pure. Trailer trash? Small home and lower tier job? Not from old money? Community college and not university with a fraternity membership?
I can keep going to show you the original haters but you stupid ass brothers and sisters are so programmed, like Miguel said, that you’ll get on here and self hate in front of a bunch of devilish Caucasians, when most of these same Caucasians are acting black to bring you out.
I partly agree that soon black artist will be compared to Riff Raf as far as if they are “black enough” basically its history repeating itself
and now heres a newsflash for you… tissues are in aisle 3 you cry baby… the white man is the devil, the white man is to blame, the white man is holding us back WAHHH WAHHH WAHHHHHHHHH
dont fuck with miguel he’ll leg drop yo ass
Joey Badaa$$ from ProEra had a band mate Capital Steez who believed he who come back to life in 2047 as the God called Baphomet=Prophet of God, so he killed himself. Baphomet was also considered a Pagan deity. Actually the Church of Satan revived in the 19th century for occultism and Satanism. I won’t lie Capital Steez is on top of my playlist because he died to soon. His mixtape AmeriKKan Korruption is excellent. If these “new” gods of hip hop are telling people to kill themselves to come back in 2047 with all these new religions that are the same God’s from thousands of years ago- we are in trouble.
If we gonna have a conversation about religion lets talk about Alcholics Anonymous’s new God ” Higher Power” and “God of your Understanding” the program is just like 100 years old and if you dare mention “Allah,Jesus, Jehovah, Yahwe, the Holy Spirit” the room goes silent, the mention of these names bring pure negative energy. Don’t be fooled, new artist are bringing the same old pagan Gods into hip hop and practicing Satan worshipping and “White Magic” is all the same, I’d rather take my chances with Jesus…
ring around the rosie
I don’t see anything wrong with what he said…he’s spot on…society breeds people to make decisions on race based on a desire to fit into the mold…black girls scared to date a white guy because they are scared of what their friends/family would think, white guys that think twice about dating a black girl because they are concerned what their friends/family would think…Black people and white people growing up hating each other because they feel like thats what their society deems normal… the whole blame the white man for the black mans problems spiel is old and tired, as is the blame the black man for the detriment of society spiel…you should never make life decisions based on what somebody else expects you to do racially…thnk outside the box, be your own person, at the end of the day we are all equal unless you give power to people who insist that we aren’t
are you kidding me? what was this comment removed for? i said nothing racist and kept everything in bounds…that is bullshit and you know it…why are you upset? because i won’t bend over backwards to give black people a free pass to be racists?
and rule #1 should be don’t ever complain about racism if you are a racist yourself…that applies to a lot of people out there…you don’t get to stand on your soap box and then turn around and spew the same hatred in the opposite extreme…equality is equality…it isn’t equality when you think you are better than another race, that is called more of the same, that is called having your head up your ass
Fuck this half bread mexican nigga. He aint pure like us he is just one of those crackers that do not belong in hiphop. If you’re a half nigga you aint real so stay out of hiphop you dont belong in it.
like obama… exactly, what he is referring to
its people like you that belong in the _________________________
everybody is born racist
fuck niggas fuck crackas fuck chinks fuck sand niggas fuck curry niggas fuck yellow niggas fuck russians fuck hill billys and if i missed any type fuck them too
No, racism is a learned behavior. But, begins at youth, so it would seem to be something we are born with.
who the fuck is this r & b clown? I only heard his name because i heard he Hulk Hogan-leg dropped some chick. I have pale white skin, but I’m pretty sure I’m blacker than this fag
MIGUEL IS BEING 100 PERCENT CORRECT. BLACKS ARE EASILY THE MOST RACIST PEOPLE ON THIS EARTH. THEY HATE WHITES, ASIANS AND EVERYONE ELSE. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY HATE EACH OTHER. BLACK PEOPLE CONSISTENTLY GO OUT OF THEIR WAYS TO DESTROY EACH OTHER. IT’S NOTHING MORE THAN SELF HATRED. THEREFORE, THE ONLY BLACK PERSON THAT I CAN OPENLY CO-SIGN IS BIRDMAN WILLIAMS.
Big Guwop
he is a wannabe anyway… he should ask whites to buy his whack music… they wont
I agree with him, black ppl are too judgmental
dont cha see the agenda they trying to push……..lets stick together ya, we need it more than ever….red,yellow,brown,black,orange,white,green…we are all beautiful and colored, its 2013 ! lets focus on these bastards who are trying to take control of the future and depopulate us ! We The People !
“Im proud of my heritage but honestly, black people are the most judgmental people in the world. Shits sad man.” —–Calling black people or any other group of people judgmental makes you judgmental. Hypocrite
ohh sh*t….you comment has substance !! The biggest “troll” on this site has awoken !!
