Barack & Curtis: Manhood, Power & Respect

I do too, Bronze. This pretending we are "Klingons" crap has gone on long enough. We don't have a mental limitation that keeps us from doing anything White people can do...they just feel free to do so, while our communities tell the kids "you can only do what's 'Black'". Calling each other niggers for example; we didn't make up that word...so how can we "take it back"? Playing rock n roll music, we made that genre, but we can't play it because our majority doesn't: "it's not Black"...enough.

pigsysteve I dunno about the Asian thing, that can only happen in the future, after Barack has now "opened the door", and who knows if it ever will here. ...but I *am* skeptical that Obama would have won if he wasn't "half White", like you say. It's hilarious how some sources kept asking the question about the "N-Word at Palin Rally": "Is America Still Racist!?" ..uh...yeah, this is still the 21st century last time I checked. People are stupid.

The most profound statement to me in this documentary was "Every man has some 50cent in them and some Barack Obama".

Nearly all Blacks in American have a white mix.

I think the premis is flawed. Why should we assume that Barak and 50 cents are members of a race that is homogenous and idealogically similar. Are Bill Gates and Eminem on similar ground? Class, poverty, environmental influences and many other factors shape our views and character.
Perhaps if we lived in a society that truly cared about education, justice and its
people we would not witness such backwardness as we see in gangster rappers.

Some of y'all are straight-up retarded. White people who are racist don't see white in Barack. They see black and that's all they see. To say that Barack made it to the Presidency because he's half white is fucking stupid. If anything, it made it harder for him since racist people don't like their blood getting mixed. Barack won because he can talk the talk. Let's see if he walks his walk.

Obama has an image and 50 has another image.. true... where is the image of the honest black average man? must we all be rich and powerful?

Well done.

Good video
