Damn, I’m at a job, can’t watch/listen.

Common sold more music today thanks to the racists. Bittersweet I’m sure.

That was pretty short in the vile department.

It’s a pretty dull event after all the outrage.

‘Poetry’ and ‘slam’ just doesn’t go well together.

It’s like ‘offensive puppies.’ Just doesn’t roll off the tongue.

I wonder how many people who got mad about it bothered to watch it.

Fox news commenters are still spewing racism.

They don’t need to. They already know that poetry and the arts are for commies and queers, and no amount of Obama indoctrination will sway them.

A friend of mine had a problem with slam poets for a while. A woman she knew left her husband, and asked if she could move in with Niamh for a while.

The problem was, she’d also decided that she’d married way too young, and lost all her identity while being an at-home mom, and the way to reclaim herself was to become a slam poet.

And then she made friends with all the other slam poets. And invited them to come and hang out at her (translate: Niamh’s) pad. And eat everything in the refrigerator, and do illegal substances in the living room.

I didn’t hear about any of this until shortly after she moved out, and I called up to ask about whether I might be able to rent her spare bedroom, and Niamh screamed into the phone, “I don’t have a spare bedroom!!!”

They also know that the president is black and Jill Scott and Common are black. It’s all about blackity blackity black black black!!!!!!

That’s all they need to know.

O’Reilly is huffing and puffing about Common now. These are sad and unfortunate people and this meme won’t get anywhere.

This is the point where you SHUT DOWN THE COMMENTS.

I saw Common’s post on facebook. He’s a lot more classy than the whiners at FoxNews will ever dream of being.

too late now…what could that prove?…that Fox is wrong to allow this stuff?
it’s done now

It would help to suggest that Fox cares what’s being dribbled on its site. But since that does not seem to be the case, I guess they can carry on.

Man, this show is obscene! This guy up now is a bald white guy, who is obviously some kind of freakazoid!

Meanwhile, the admins at Stormfront are wondering why things suddenly got so quiet.

One thing about rappers is that they always stand by their art. If Oprah couldn’t talk Jay-Z out of using the n-word, no other rapper will be shamed by anyone. Especially, people who don’t make up their core audience in the first place. I don’t think Common care what anyone at RNC thinks of him or their viewers. I doubt Jill Scott is worried either. And speaking of Jill Scott, what the hell happened to the Ladies #1 Detective Agency? That show was great.

If you go on any of Common’s videos on Youtube, the comment section is pretty much a back and forth between his fans and some wingnuts. One user in particular has posted “What a stupid ghetto racist pig. Go suck obama you stupid ass no talent piece of shit.” on almost every video with his name attached to it. Classy.

I’m sure Common is most distressed by his detractors on Youtube.

Martin’s a pretty versatile guy. I remember being surprised when I saw his name listed as a writer for Traitor a few years ago. Really, this is a harmless event. More nontroversy from the good people at Fox News.

Really, this is what they were getting upset over? Whole lotta nothing to get upset about.
