You are a disgrace to all people.

1. You talked about it being easy to make a stand when they have nothing to lose, that same thing applies to you right now. You have nothing to lose so its easy for you to make a stand. Jay z has done 100 million times more for his race than you or anyone here can even dream of achieving for theirs, so where do you get the nerve to criticize him, go out and do something for equality, don’t just write an complain about injustice.
2. Jay took the absolute perfect stand. Allegations have been made and he is waiting on the outcome of meetings and enquiries, black people always complain about being found guilty before we even set foot in court, yet you sit here and advocate a black man does the same. Worst still as Jay himself said, he doesn’t pocket even a penny from this endorsment, it all goes to under priveledge kids. So how dear you then critisize him for thinking only of himself?
3. You make me sick, if god is just a large bus will run you over. If not I can only hope you realise the error of your ways, remove this article and apologise. You undermine the genuine fight for equality by trading in important issues and degrading it just for hits. You sick shameless man. Truely I wish i could express my level of disdain for you and all you are. You shame us all, you sick sick man. You deserve no happiness in life until you take this down and apologize.
In fact every day you keep this article up I will continue to shame you on this comments and your twitter page.

Integration has nothing to do with out of control behavior in our community and please stop counting other people’s money and go out and get your own the way most people who have money did. By the way none of you complained when the community was told to vote for Obama because white people were voting for him, smdh.

Also, many blacks accuse rich whites of being not only racists but capitalists as well. Yet rich blacks spend more of their money with these so-called racists than in the black community. Why is that? And they’ve been spending money with them for years.

See documentary movie Born Rich. Girl says country club she belongs to in Long Island New York, would Not want a Black member no matter How much Money they make. Rich black people Love to show white people they are Not like the Black masses, and wanna buy expensive stuff in White businesses but Never build foundations for their people’s communities.

Black folks, no matter How much Money, Education, position (see Obama) you have, we will Never!Be accepted by whites – Never. Marcus Garvey has/had the answer, but black folks wanted integration over self empowerment. Thus our pitiful pathetic state we are in today.

Todays black athletes the entertainers, 99% of them, only care about themselves. They are lethally ignorant and selfish, they promote everything that’s wrong with today’s black community and are proud of it. JayZ, his wife, and the rest of this bunch have in many ways done more harm to blacks than the Klan did in the last hundred years. And equally sad is that most blacks are too damn stupid to see this and eagerly contribute to their own demise.

First of all jay z don’t owe nobody anything, he didn’t borrow from the public to get where he’s at,he provided a product of his own creation and people bought it, a simple ticket laundry thing, cosby is an educated fool who fooled the public with his product by attempting to set the example as the world’s greatest dad while having a bootie call in his private life, then attempted all the other rigamaroe that comes with those types of actions to cover the smell of his behind,then throw rotten vegetables at those that refuse to play the Tom game on jobs that are red lined for Black’s because the playing field changes when it’s time to make some real money for a brother or a sister, and this doesn’t make these people bums as the educated fool with no DING-A-LING control. My point? .it takes a special individual poor or wealthy to make changes as they see fit when they see others struggle with life issues, if jay z don’t have the tools in his mind or the guts as others want him to have because he has an abundance of income, then it is better for him to be silent than to throw vegetables at those who put him where he is at until he’s figured it out for himself or until he has a feel for the community chest.
