So I don't see anything wrong whatsoever with what Common was saying. How is he racist? He's good friends with Jeremy Pivins, was in Terminator Salvation with white coworkers, etc. Some of you don't even make any sense.
Readng all these insensitive comments from certain white people let me explain something to you. The white experience is different from the black experience period. As you know blacks in the United States has a history of being discriminated against in every faction in this country. When it comes to jobs, getting a loan, to live in a decent neighborhood, sending our kids to decent school, etc. we are always getting discriminated against. Thats why sometimes we get iffy about our country.

@trooper40below Police harass us constantly. Experiences you're not going through in terms of race. When certain whites see minorities they already have this foolish negative image projected of us. Also balck people and latinos like to keep it real as well. Stop trying to pretend America is always good. It's not always good. It has a history of doing very bad things. Slavery, taking land from Indians, taking land from Mexico etc. While it has done good as well we need to be honest.
@trooper40below Recognize that history and ry not to repeat it. Obama got elected and black people knew sooner or later certain whites were going to mischaracterize Obama and just try to smudge him. But I should not be patriotic to a country who do things to people because of race. But I'm patriotic despite of it. But I'm not going to sit here and state that America is sooo great and perfect its not and thats why you hear Common, Mos Def, Talib, Sharpton, Hugo Chavez, etc. speak the way they do.
i dare any of u to be raised in "south chicago" and have a "perfect"outlook on reality and the state of this country.. enough of the semantics. He has grown.. nuff said
WOW. Common is not only a racist but an anti-American too! Stop claiming Obama because of his color. Obama is half black and white who was raised by his white mom and grandmother when his black dad abandoned them. And, this bitch even stated that he hates interracial marriage and now his loving Obama. What a hypocrite!!!!
Yeah but obama looks more like a black guy than he does white guy, & since common is from the hood, it isnt a surprise that hes somewhat racist or hates the roots of america, seeing what black people went through back then.
I love COMMON'S music BUT he's bitch for "never standing for our National Anthem." It's an offensive point to always be making. What a fucking hypocrite, that he would live here, living better than 99.9% of all Americans, selling his music to the youth, and he can't identify with anything that our nation stands for? He doesn't feel any great sense of freedom and accomplishment when that song plays? Love his music but he can write those words, wad them up and f-himself with them. Not cool.
AND THAT GOES FOR ANYONE ELSE STILL MAKING THAT TIRED STATEMENT. Show some respect, show some class, embrace the idea of unity AND STAND UP. He never felt embraced by this country? I suppose the millions of records sold, the $millions made in movies and the Grammy nominations aren't "embrace" enough. Go to your Daddy for love nigga. "LOVE ME DADDY! LOVE ME AMERICA!"
COMMON IS FINE!
