Mathematician
Reason, and reason again
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Friday questioned the way some rappers talk about women in songs, saying the lyrics are similar to the derogatory language used by fired radio talk show host Don Imus.
"We've got to admit to ourselves, that it was not the first time that we heard the word 'ho,' Obama told a crowd of about 1,200 at a fundraising dinner for the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus in Columbia. "Turn on the radio station. There are a whole lot of songs that use the same language ... we've been permitting it in our homes, and in our schools and on iPods."
"If it's not good for Don Imus, I don't know why it's good for us. If we don't like other people to degrade us, why are we degrading ourselves?" Obama said to applause.
I like this guy more and more every day. PureX, I hope your optimism is well invested.
