Feel the post-racialism: “My president is black, but his house is all white”

By Michelle Malkin • January 19, 2009 11:29 PM

Here’s the Hollywood inaugural celebration you didn’t see splashed all over TV: Rappers Young Jeezy and Jay-Z crazily cursing their heads off and screaming “Nigga” this and “Nigga” that as a crowd goes wild to Jeezy’s national anthem: “My President Is Black.” I wrote about the race-based song after Election Day here.

Jay-Z adapted the spiteful, race-obsessed lyrics to commemorate his man Barack Obama’s ascension to the throne (language warning). Can’t you just feel the post-racialism?:

(Hat tip – KMBExpert on Twitter)

MTV reported:

All hail the chief! Young Jeezy made immediate impact his first night in D.C.: Jeezy debuted a remix of the hip-hop national anthem right now, “My President.” Not too long after T.I. performed at D.C. club Love, the Snowman took to the stage for his “Presidential Status” inaugural ball — and his guest on the new version of “My President” was Jay-Z.

“My president is black, he’s black, he’s half white/ So even in a racist mind, he’s half right/ So if you got a racist mind, it’s alright/ My president is black, but his house is all white,” Jay spit a capella as the DJ pulled the music for his verse.

“No more white lies, my president is black!” Hov finished, as the crowd in the club repeated his last line over and over again.

Like Maya Angelou said, Obama is “president of the bigots.” All of them. Right, Ms. Angelou?

As a public service reminder, here are the original lyrics of the song:

Yeah Be The Realest Shit I Never Wrote
I Aint Write This Shit By The Way Nigga
Some Real Shit Right Here Nigga
This Will Be The Realest Shit You Ever Quote

{{Hook}}

My President Is Black, My Lambo’s Blue
And I Be God Damn If My Rims Aint Too
My Momma Aint At Home & Daddy Still In Jail
Tryna Make A Plate Anybody Seen The Scale

My President Is Black, My Lambo’s Blue
And I Be God Damn If My Rims Aint Too
My Money’s Light green And My jordans Light Grey
And They Love To See White Now How Much You Tryna Pay
Lets Go!

{Verse 1}

Today Was A Good Day Hope I Have Me A Great Nite
I Dunno Wat U Fishin For Hope U Catch You A Great White
Need I Say Great White Heavy As Killer Wales
I Cannot Believe This Who Knew It Came In Bails
Who Knew It Came Wit Jail Who Knew It Came With Prison
Jus Cuz You Got An Opinion Does That Make You A Politician
Bush Robbed All Of Us Would That Make Him A Criminal
& Den He Cheated In Florida Would Dat Make Him a Seminal
I Say And I Quote We Need A Miracle
And I Say A Miracle Cuz This Shit Is Histerical
By My Nephews And Nieces I Will Email Jesus
Tell Him Forward To Moses And CC: Allah
Mr Soul Survivor Does That Make Me A Konvict
Be All U Can Be Now Dont Dat Sound Like Some Dumb Shit
When You Dogged Of Crew Orders Black As My Nigga Boo
It’s Really A Desert Storm Thats Word To My Nigga Clue
Catch Me In Las Vegas, A.R. Arizona
Rep For Them Real Niggaz Im Winnin In California
Winnin In Tennessee Hands Down Atlanta
Landslide Alabama On My Way To Sevana

{{Hook}}

{Verse 2}

Woke Up This Morning Headache THIS BIG!
Pay All These Damn Bills Feed All These Damn Kids
Buy All These School Shoes Buy All These School Clothes
For Some Strange Reason My Son Addicted To Polos
Love Me Some Spinach Dip Im Addicted To Use This
And If The Numbers Is Right I Take A Trip Out To Houston
A Earthquake Out In China A Hurricane In New Orleans
Street Dreams Tour I Showed My Ass In New Orleans
Did It For Soulja Slim Brought Out B.G.
Its All Love From The Beginnin You Pimp C
You Know How The Pimp Be
That Nigga Go’n Speak His Mind
If He Could Speak Down From Heaven
He Tell Me Straight All My Crimes
Tell Him Im Doin Fine Obama For Mankind
We Ready For Damn Change So Ya’ll Let The Man Shine
Stuntin On Martin Luther Cuz Im Feelin Just Like A King
Guess Dis Is Wat He Meant Wen He Said Dat He Had A Dream

{{Hook}}

{Nas}

History, Black History
No President Ever Did Shit For Me
Had To Hit The Streets Try To Flip Some Keys
So A Nigga Wont Go Broke
Then They Put Us In Jail Now A Nigga Cant Go Vote
So I Spend Dough All These Hoes Is Trippin
She Aint A Politician Honeys A Polotician
My President Is Black Rolls Golden Charms
22 Inch Rims Like Hulk Hogans Arms
When Thousands Of People Is Riled Up To See You
That Can Arouse Ya Ego You Got Mouths To Feed So
Gotta Stay Tru To Who You Are And Where You Came From
Cuz At The Top Will Be The Same Place You Hang From
No Matter How Big You Can Ever Be
For Whatever Fee Or Publicity Never Lose Your Integrity
For Years Theres Been Surprise Horses In This Stable
Just Two Albums In I’m The Realest Nigga On This Label
Mr Black President Yeah Obama Fa Reel
They Gotta Put Ya Face On The $5000 Dollar Bill

{{Hook}}

{Outro}

Booker T Washington Homie
Oh Y’all Aint Think I Knew That Shit!

I’m Important Too Though!

And you wonder why some of us don’t believe MLK’s dream has been completely fufilled…

***

A Beltway liberal journalist thinks America’s racial atmosphere is “less poisonous” than it was in the late 80s and early 90s. Homie, please.

Heck no! Now that President Bush is out and the GOP no longer has a voice in either of the two immediate branches of government, I say we’ve only begun! For the next four years, our side gets to dish out what it has had to take for the last eight – and it will be cathartically sweet!

I see someone’s Hope Meter isn’t registering at 110% this morning.

Kinda makes you wonder what the White House dinners are going to be like…

After just a little while some boiled crow and bitter herbs? I do have a bit of difficulty visualizing the Marine Corps Band playing “Nigga Down, My President Is Black” but they are professionals.

Well isn’t THAT special.

Does this mean supporters of whoever happens to be the next white president should compose a song exalting that new president’s “whiteness”?

Just asking.

Calls have been made for Barack Obama to mark his inauguration as US president by creating his own tartan.

The move would be the ideal way to celebrate Mr Obama’s Scottish ancestry and boost tourism, according to the Scottish Conservative Party.

Mr Obama can be traced to William the Lion, who ruled Scotland from 1165 to 1214, genealogists believe.

You can’t hide your Lion thighs. The entire kilt industry depends on it:

The Scottish Conservatives have written to Mr Obama about the tartan, which the party said could boost tartan exports amid the economic downturn.

Real Scotsmen famously wear nothing under their kilts, so, if Obama does decide to play Jock McBailout, he risks decimating the entire American underwear industry.

Please don’t, Mr. Obama! Just about everyone in the world can trace their roots back to someone famous…if they go back far enough. Having you create a tartan and parade around in some sort of kilt, will be enough for me to hang my kilt up permanently.

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, Jaguar, but I’m a Republican conservative coping with this day like the rest of you. My comment was in disagreement with a previous poster’s assertion that both sides should stop calling for the other side to denounce their supporters.

It’s my position that now that the GOP – my GOP – has effectively little say in the way our government will be run for the next two-four years, calling out our rivals and their less than honest backers, is within our prerogative and right as the loyal opposition.

Sorry again for the confusion, but posting and working at the same time will do that.

I didn’t intend that as a charge or accusation…just wanted to illustrate that BO has so very little shared history with those who now expect to be in charge because he’s “their” president.

The celeb watching show, TMZ asked Samuel L. Jackson what he had to say to blacks who didn’t vote for Obama and he replied, “Is there such a thing?”.
Both the question and the answer were racist.
No one in the media has the spine to call them out on that.
If a white guy voted for someone because they were white, that voter would be raked over the coals and arrested for a hate crime.

Nice double standard lib celebs and media.

Are these scum representative of “the Black community?” Yeah, I said it–these are SCUM! They are the product of hate and ignorance, and nothing more. Scum is what they are, and decent civilized people of all races should denounce this behavior for what it is–poison.

The behavior here is beyond shameful. When I see skinheads screaming “WHITE POWER” and the hateful, hurtful rhetoric that they shout at their rallies, I feel the same raising anger that I felt after watching this.

The difference here is that skinheads are universally condemned by all of society. These miscreants market their hate and ignorance freely, and are regarded as “artists” within the so-called “mainstream media.” The Black community makes them millionaires, and readily supports the spread of this soul-numbing propaganda throughout the nation.

There will be very UGLY result to this continuing widespread hate within the “Black community.” It cannot go on unimpeded without an eruption of violence and bloodshed. It is only a matter of time.

Feel the post-racialism:

Obama’s DOJ drops default judgments against two New Black Panther Party thugs in the Philly voter intimidation case. One of the thugs had a night stick (a.k.a. “Billy club”) and told a white observer:

“You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.”

Obama condones that?
