Lil Wayne Says Right Wing Americans Dislike Blacks

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 14th, 2011

Lil Wayne was interviewed by Vibe which got really political. Wayne discusses life for blacks in America, and says that right wing Americans dislike blacks.

“You learn from what the right-wing is doing and you take something from it,” he said. “I feel like as a people, the most that we can do is better ourselves and learn. Then look at yourself and ask, ‘Am I the person they’re talking about or am I not?’ You have to make the most of who you are because the Republicans are never going to like us.”

Wayne also believes right wing attacks against Obama are motivated by his race rather than his political policies.

“I don’t think I have to say that for everybody to know that,” he said.

Interestingly, Wayne does support the tax polices of right wing America. So, there is something at least.

Lupe Fiasco Calls Obama A “Terrorist”

Posted by Christian Allaire on June 13th, 2011

Rapper Lupe Fiasco has called President Obama a “terrorist” during a television appearance, reports Rolling Stone.

Blasting the U.S. president during an appearance on CBC’s ‘What’s Trending,’ the rapper attacked the president’s foreign policy and declared him to be a “terrorist.”

“To me, the biggest terrorist is Obama in the United States of America,” Fiasco said. “I’m trying to fight the terrorism that’s causing the other forms of terrorism. You know the root cause of terrorists is the stuff the U.S. government allows to happen. The foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists.”

Fiasco went on to say that has no desire to vote in the 2012 presidential election.

“I don’t get involved in politics,” he said. “It’s meaningless. If I’m going to say I stand behind this person and write on a piece of paper that says, ‘Yeah, I stand for this person,’ then I have to take responsibility for everything he does cause that’s just who I am as a human being. So politicians aren’t going to do that because I don’t want you to bomb some village in the middle of nowhere.”

Although the statement is a little extreme, I see where he is coming from. I’m very often discouraged from voting as I don’t ever fully agree with the runners and their plans. But I think a vote is better than no vote. You should have a little say in who runs your country.

Tracy Morgan Officially Welcomes Sarah Palin to MILF-hood

Posted by Megan MacKay on January 31st, 2011

It looks like another 30 Rock cast member is in trouble with Sarah Palin!

Semi-crazy person Tracy Morgan is being berated for his comments on the SAG Awards red carpet last night. Morgan, who just days ago called the former Alaska Governor “good masturbation material,” used an aside in his interview with Guliana Rancic to shout “Sarah Palin, you’re the hottest MILF in the world!”

Rancic, taken aback, attempted to steer the conversation in a different direction but Morgan would not follow. “She’s a MILF!” he shouted again.

What? He’s just saying what we’re all thinking!

A statement was hurriedly released apologizing for Morgan’s comments, but we don’t think they needed an apology! As if MILF is the worst thing he could have said. Pfft. Palin, we think you got off easy on that one.

Rally to Restore Sanity Draws in Hundreds of Thousands of Attendees

Posted by Megan MacKay on November 1st, 2010

The Huffington Post is reporting that the attendance numbers for the Rally to Restore Sanity that took place this past weekend in Washington DC could clock up to 250,000 – just under three times the numbers that came out to Glenn Beck’s rally in August.

Political pundits Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, hosts of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and The Colbert Report respectively, hosted the event.  The two jointly applied for a rally permit for 25,000 people, a cap that was obviously insufficient. The rally was an interspersion of comedy and politics and included performances from Sheryl Crow, Jeff Tweedy, and (unfortunately) Kid Rock.

The National Mall’s park services estimate that “well over 200,000” people attended the rally, many donning ‘Stewart/Colbert 2012’ t-shirts.

When these numbers are added to the satellite rallies taking place in most major US cities including Chicago and Seattle, attendance records could be off the charts.

It’s nice to finally see some sane political action coming out of the States, especially after Christine O’Donnellgate and the Tea Partiers. Continue your important work, Colbert/Stewart!

Palin’s Presence Boosts DWTS Security

Posted by Megan MacKay on September 20th, 2010

Sarah Palin is sending the security of Dancing with the Stars into a tizzy, TMZ reports.

The arrival of the Palinator to watch daughter Bristol compete on the reality show has caused security to bolster their efforts substantially. The network has put the entire lot on “heightened alert.” Officials will be performing random bumper-to-bumper searches on select cars that enter the lot, and the bags of all audience members will the thoroughly rifled through. From there, everything will be passed through a metal detector before the ticketholder will be allowed to take their seat.

Though Sarah’s not technically running for any government position, it’s been decided that for the safety of the audience she should be treated as a government official.

It’s also been reported that should the worst-case scenario happen, Sarah is a higher priority than her daughter! Lolz! That’s good parenting for you.

We’re sure Bristol is a wonderful dancer, but we’d rather spend the broadcast watching her mom chat with Jersey Shore’s Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino!  We have a feeling those two would totally hit it off.

Bristol and competition partner Mark Ballas will be dancing to “Mama Told Me (Not To Come)” for Sarah and the studio audience. Will you be watching this season of DWTS?

Ted Kennedy, Last of Kennedy Men, Dies at 77

Posted by Emma Renda on August 26th, 2009

Ted KennedyU.S. Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy, the last surviving brother of the political family, died last night after more than a year battling brain cancer, according to CBC. Kennedy, 77, was surrounded by his family in Hyannis Port, Mass. when he passed.

Kennedy was one of the longest serving senators in American history, spending almost a total of 47 years in office. He was originally elected in 1962 when his brother, John F. Kennedy, was president. In 1980, he sought the Democratic party nomination against sitting president Jimmy Carter but his plans were ruined by a scandalous car accident in Martha’s Vineyard in which he pleaded guilty to leaving the scene.

Green Day’s Political Project

Posted by Jennifer Brooks on March 21st, 2009

Green DayFans across the globe know that Green Day does not ignore the American political atmosphere as the band writes music with a message and makes sure their listeners stay involved.

Now, Billie Armstrong has told Rolling Stone Magazine that the band’s eighth studio album entitled “21st Century Breakdown” will be another political album.

“A lot of people were born into an unlucky time, the era of George W. Bush,” Armstrong told the magazine. “There is an optimism now with Obama… be aware. Don’t look at this guy as the answer to our prayers. You still need to be involved.”
