Obams honor raper who glorifies cop killers

Funny, I read the same lyrics...NO...actually...I read the entire lyrics of the song and it's clear Common is questioning why the government dwells on lesser problems abroad at the expense of domestic issues that plague the inner city?

Why the #^&#^&#^&#^& is using a metaphor considered a Liberal vs Conservative issue???

to quote Common, "I hold up a peace sign but I carry a gun"

Also check out the video for his song 'Testify', is this the inner city culture we should embrace?

Funnie, from the many interviews I've seen of sports/business sucesses
of those who made it out of the getto, it was the Mother or Grandmother
they gave credit to because they kept them on the rigth path.
Never heard one inspired out by rapper lyrics or rappers.

Values,morals and work ethics need to be instilled in the home.
Government can't legislate those qualities, and imho neither can
rappers.

Jim in CT,
When did you become Mr. P.C.? Retarded is not a bad word. I will refrain from using the words slow, idiotic, imbecile, stupid, etc. because you might be offended or connect them to people completely unrelated to this discussion. Anyway, I learned the word from Ann Coulter
