					<description><![CDATA[I understand that Jay Z and Beyonce were paid handsomely to put on a performance that none of our Ancestors would be proud of.  This clearly ties into my article/post about being a modern day &quot;sellout&quot;.  THINK family, does their cooning-minstrel show represent the type of behavior that we need as a people?  Does it present us at our best?  Was it inspiring, and motivates you to want to reach for more in your life?  Do we need more &quot;encouragement&quot; for Sistas to show themselves as sex-objects?  No intellect, values, morals, dignity (like our countless Afrikan Ancestors)...just a nice piece-of-ass? 

And, of course, Beyonce is a &quot;mother&quot; of a young daughter, and her idiot &quot;husband&quot; plays his part in making a complete fool of himself as well, and for what?  A few more &quot;sheckles&quot;? Family...they don&#039;t already have enough of the devil&#039;s &quot;illusion&quot; called money?  What would Marcus, Martin and Malcolm think?

Here is a takeaway thought...MILLIONS of you, Black folks, watched this bullshit show/performance, (putting millions of advertising dollars into the producers pockets) and will now spend the next several days discussing it. Isn&#039;t this clearly a &quot;distraction&quot; from doing some of the things that we all need to be very busy doing?  Remember family everything that we see, hear, taste, smell, touch, becomes a part of us...why add this type of bullshit, to you?  

Again...turn off your tell-lie-vision, and read a book...exercise...&quot;talk&quot; with your child/spouse/parent...start a business...start a club...volunteer your time...let&#039;s all (me too) work on our development/improvement instead of our degradation.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Peace Bro. Shawn,

It&#039;s kool that you agree with some of what I posted, I don&#039;t expect anyone to agree with them all and I&#039;m sure you and many of the other Brothas and Sistas that read my article, could add other points to the list of sellout behavior.

For the record, I love hip-hop, can&#039;t get thru my day without my baby &quot;Sa-Roc&quot; and the God &quot;Sol Messiah&quot;, but the lyrics for &quot;most&quot; of the joints that &quot;go platinum&quot; are detrimental to our people, therefore the so-called &quot;Artists&quot; that&#039;s spit&#039;n them should be considered a &quot;Sellout&quot;.  

My goal was to simply suggest that we &quot;update/broaden&quot; our definition of what we consider a &quot;Sellout&quot; to include behavior and characteristics that are clearly detrimental to our people today.  

Not really kool to recommend that I &quot;Do your research before you write these articles&quot;...be easy Fam, I come in peace.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great article and I have made this same argument before. How are we so quick to call a Black Republican a sellout and yet Black folks are putting out music that degrades everything about our culture and people and get rich off it and it is just &quot;hip hop&quot;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Some of the things I can agree with except about my musical preference just becuase we don&#039;t listen to the same thing doesn&#039;t make anyone a sellout.
