<title>Craig R. Smith Hates Hip Hop and Obama But Not Black People&#8230;Well, Maybe Some Black People &#8211; But Definitely Obama</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="csmith2007.jpg" src="/fishbowlla/files/original/csmith2007.jpg" width="83" height="94" class="alignleft" hspace="7/" /><br />
We think it&#8217;s flippant, reactionary and trivializing to call someone a racist. It&#8217;s like calling someone you disagree with a Nazi. Really? They actually share Adolph Hitler&#8217;s views? Or you just think they&#8217;re bossy?</p>
<p>Anyway, we think <a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=73276">WorldDailyNet</a>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Craig-R-Smith-profile.html">Craig R. Smith</a></strong>&#8216;s &#8216;slip&#8217; is showing:</p>
<blockquote><p>If <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Barack-Obama-profile.html">Barack Obama</a></strong> is to become our 44th president, it will be heralded as a moment of historic significance unlike any other. However, I think many are missing the real reason why.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s because Barack Obama will be our first hip-hop president.</p>
<p>I can only imagine how the world will embrace the leader of the free world when he introduces other foreign leaders with, &#8220;give it up for my man Vladimir.&#8221; Giving &#8220;props&#8221; for joining us in a treaty. Or the first lady Michelle talking about &#8220;my man&#8221; the &#8220;daddy of my babies&#8221; when referring to the president. That should go over well everywhere from 10 Downing Street right on down to the streets of the Middle East.</p></blockquote>
<p>And he goes on:</p>
<blockquote><p>After a few months on the job he can refer to his cabinet members as his &#8220;bitches.&#8221; Hey don&#8217;t get angry at me. Take a listen to any hip-hop song, and that is the type of endearing language you will hear. A group of playas that have no respect for the country. The same country that affords them a lifestyle most people only dream of, and all they can do is endlessly complain about it.</p></blockquote>
<p>First &#8211; it&#8217;s &#8220;baby daddy&#8221; not &#8220;daddy of my babies&#8221;. And second&#8230;we think this might be uh&#8230;seriously racist. When they stop being &#8216;points&#8217; in an op/ed and become paranoid fantasies about a group of people different from yourself&#8230;yeah, that&#8217;s racism.</p>
