ATLANTA (CBS46) - President Barack Obama has recently announced that June is African-American Music Appreciation Month.

In a statement released through the White House he says, "A vital part of our Nation's proud heritage, African-American music exemplifies the creative spirit at the heart of American identity and is among the most innovative and powerful art the world has ever known. "

[Robert DeLong]

Alright here's one for you dedicated to Obama

[Mears]

I go back to The Presevation Hall Jazz Band.

Incredible !!!!!!!!

Rap is the bottom of the barrel——and NOT music.

Oops-——”Preservation”.

Obama jacking street cred with homey Ludacris.

"It's two a.m. in the morning and it uhh..
Light showers and you're probably hookin up with that girl
That's been, two-wayin you all week. her baby daddy's out
Of town so uhh, you can f#*k around. it's okay to check in
That motel 6. $59.95, not a cent more, for that dirty-ass ho.
Yeah. stop by that convenience store and pick up them rubbers -
Magnum i hope. this is phazon love and uhh, i love hoes.
I just don't pay 'em!"

"Cut up! know we like that, get that cut up
Freaky thangs, we be bout 'em
Get that cut up! oh-whooooooo, cut up
Freaky thangs, we be bout 'em"

Ludacris - Word of Mouf
(Warning: The rest of the lyrics are, more blatantly, XXX)

Ludacris has about six albums worth of songs like this.
Probably 10% are about drugs and/or violence instead of just hoes.

At least he specified “music,” which means NO RAP!

Thank you.

only because muslims don't generally approve of music but the obozo is a get down Chi town toker boy.

[rigelkentaurus]

Which month is Southern Rock? And, which one is Country? Guess this is just another racist pronouncement then.

[Don Corleone]

Is it OK if I don’t appreciate African American music? I like Cole Porter and Irving Berlin myself.

[A_Former_Democrat]

That’s what we need more of . . black kids in “fun stuff”

Not in business, not in STEM, not in anything that’s actually WORK

Just fun stuff

[surroundedbyblue]

I call BS. Everyone knows June is for gay pride. Just ask any parent who unknowingly got caught at Gay Days in Disney World.

Muslims ban music. So, they came up with an alternate. I will bet Barry O. Never heard of Chevalier de Saint Georges. A black French baroque composer.

[PROCON]

Wait a sec, just yesterday the white house announced June as LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ celebration month.

[ThomasMore]

Are these people Africans or Americans. So tired of this bullshit.

I always loved Satchmo on this! Today it is more than relevant!

i like the music!
but we only honor our American Veterans for one day
we only honor American Independence for one day
we only honor our American Mothers for one day
we only honor our American Fathers for one day
and we only honor Christ’s birth for one day

ST GEORGES MUSIC

[showme_the_Glory]

What day is Juneteenth? Wouldn’t want to miss that totally racist holiday.

[dainbramaged]

What about the most confusing holiday of the year? Father’s Day in Oakland.

[HamiltonJay]

So he’s lumping african american men in with the he/shes in a single appreciation/pride month..... Thumbs up Barry.... You keep on keepin on dick butt.
