Eazy-E invited to White House by Bush Sr but President Obama criticized for inviting Common???

[CHICANOxRAPxPROMOTER]

Just because he's black...

[Deangilo1014]

i love how as long as he's any where but the white house he's a respectable african american but the second he enters the gates hes all of a sudden a thug fuckin racsim these days

[KRISTONGOODEN]

bush didnt care about binladen

[RuthlessE1]

Dude, Bush Sr. didn't know he invited Eazy-E. Bush was throwing a party for people who made large donations for kids. They invited Eric Wright, not Eazy-E. And they did make a big deal about it when the press found out. The paper's front page read "Guess Whose Coming To Dinner Mr. President." Eazy-E said "I paid 15 hundred dollars for a million dollars worth of press."

[NikoLiberty1000]

@RuthlessE1 Who cares eazy behaved just fine in the white house!

[HipHopJunkie22]

so racist farkk off

[aceofdiamonds122]

I loved this. The fuss was bigger news than Common actually being at the White House. We really needed this laugh, so I hope this video stays up for as long as possible.

[bigsmokesghost]

they did not mention eazy e. WTF

[F1brawfa]

Eazy e was a gangsta common is just an artist what is this fuss about? They should have invited rage against the machine now that would be controversial

[Banana391Returns]

They didn't even mention Eazy :(

[Banana391Returns]

They didn't even mention Eazy :(

[kerpal3]

if ron paul or jon huntsman lose republican nominee, obama will win in 2012

[Jorge1990123]

[coleon8]

the president is a nigger...thats what there saying

[mak4lyf2]

rappers dnt even like the government not new listen to immortal technique and u realise why

[DRAYEGAVLAS]

WTF, I don't give a damn about what party you're affiliated with--otherwise I would have said "you republicans" instead of "people like you".

"way to make assumptions". hah.

Also, you really can't see the difference between figurative speech in song and literal outright threats of violence??

[MrWazzah]

Are you kidding me? Common has to be one of the most fucking intelligent and mature hip hop artist to ever exist and hit main stream...lmao politics makes me laugh

[aceofdiamonds122]

1:45 He called Common a thug when he's not exactly known for thug activities. Common may very well be the smartest and cleanest hip hop artist out there; he's not into that gangsta crap. I'm having a hard time believing that the right wing politicians are even angry/outraged about Common being invited to the White House when they didn't even know who the he was.

This some Bullshit! fuck the hater's.

[ZakJaymz]

Boo hoo, somebody went through something bad and dark times, OH MY GOD, nobody has everybody done that before.

[RichYan33]

OOOOOOO! They managed to get Sarah Palin's opinion! It's so hard to get her to talk.

[Soulthinker2007]

There is hypocrisy by the conservatives and the Easy-E visit to the White House tops it.

[slicktyler]

@Soulthinker2007 as far as I recall Easy E never said he wanted to light the president on fire.

[natedogg1835]

@slicktyler Right, he talked about killing cops with his bare hands, setting houses on fire, selling crack (which was how he paid the bills before rap), murdering prostitutes, shooting up a club with a mossberg shotgun, and he brought machine guns to interviews, so he could explain in detail how to kill people.

But he never said "burning Bush."

[slicktyler]

@natedogg1835 you really don't see a problem with inviting someone who said they want to kill a president to the white house?

[natedogg1835]

@slicktyler Not in this instance, since it clearly wasn't a serious death threat. I mean, did you expect Common to go around lighting Republicans on fire? Are you honestly surprised that that didn't happen?

By the way, does your indifference to the Eazy-E thing mean you think it's ok for people who encourage murder to go to the White House, as long as they don't talk about the president specifically? Keep in mind that Eazy-E was an ACTUAL DRUG DEALER.

[xytsdx2]

@natedogg1835 Are you saying Eazy-E didn't deserve to have lunch with the president?

[natedogg1835]

@xytsdx2 That's up to the President, but I had no problem with it myself. People can change their lives, also I like Eazy-E's music and I respect his memory. I'm saying that people shouldn't have double standards. If someone genuinely has a problem with Obama inviting Common, who's pretty noncontroversial, then they should be outraged that Bush Sr. invited Eazy-E.

[slicktyler]

@natedogg1835 if the LA police department decided to make Easy Es birthday a holiday then I would have an issue with it. But they arent so i'm not.

[natedogg1835]

@slicktyler If that's supposed to be an analogy, I don't get it. Especially since the President and Congress decide public holidays, not random police departments throughout the US.

[DRAYEGAVLAS]

@slicktyler

People like you who are waving your torches and pitchforks at Common are such hypocritical jokes. It boggles my mind how you people have no problem with--not only Eazy-E, but other songwriters like Johnny Cash and Bono, who have written songs sympathizing with convicted criminals--hanging out at the White House, but you all throw a hissy fit at Common. You people are straight up cartoons--caricatures of human beings living in reality.

[slicktyler]

@DRAYEGAVLAS you really cant see the difference between saying you want to burn the president and being invited to the white house and saying you killed cops and being invited to the white house?

by the way i am a democrat way to make assumptions.

[DRAYEGAVLAS]

@slicktyler BTW, since you claim to be a dem, let me paraphrase Jon Stewart: When the Weather Girls sang the song "It's raining men", they didn't mean that the sky is actually precipitating males.

To you:

"burn a Bush" = "I am going to assassinate the president"

To logical people who know the difference between poetry and reality:

"burn a Bush" = "I dislike Bush and oppose his policies"

[DRAYEGAVLAS]

@slicktyler One last thing--because I'm DONE with this NON-issue--answer me this:

When people LITERALLY burn effigies, do you think that the people represented by such effigies are actually set on fire?? People like you whine about "burn a Bush", but since you're a Dem, did you fear for Hillary Clinton's life when people were LITERALLY burning effigies of her years ago? Last I've seen pics/vids of Hillary, she hadn't displayed any burn scars.

Get over it.
