"Some Offended by Rove Rap"

"The YouTube-bound rappin' debut of MC Rove “rocked the house” and even “stole the show,” according to the next day’s papers."

"But in the days since, there has been growing unease over Karl Rove’s rap and the media blitz that followed. Among those who weighed in online, including several black journalists, many cringed at the performance and the media’s rave reviews of it."

"Some compared the sketch to a modern-day minstrel show,"

Only those who are blindly bigoted hyper partisan nut jobs. Maybe instead of going into hysterics and helping the Democrat Noise machine ONE time the Always Whining MIGHT laugh at these butt clown instead of help spread their stupid PR.

It's not racist for a white person to rap. Because white people invented rap.

Ever heard of square-dance calling???

Now would be a good time for republicans to get a backbone. If they respond to this with apologies, they're worthless.

Rap cannot be parodied without invoking the ire of some. Apparently it's sacred.

Sure. The entertainment industry, in fact our culture itself, is replete with rap influence. So when a white guy does rap he's racist? Like emenem? What a canard.

At this point no one owns rap. Black culture isn't copyrighted, is it?

"some think"?

bovine excrement! The reporters are flogging this concept in order get at rove.

Sadly the MSM is not about reporting it is about pushing their personal opinions. I journalists were in the business sector they would have been sued for negligence and fired for incompetence. (but they would have very nicely hairsrayed hair.)

If Karl Rove wakes up in the morning, there is some that think that he has committed a crime, and should be fired and jailed.

The hallmark of leftist liberalism is a complete lack of any sense of humour.

Does anyone remember the picture of Karl Rove visiting Graceland with the POTUS and the Japanese Prime Minister?
The shot of Mr. Rove walking around with the fake Elvis sideburns was priceless! Was that racist too?

I didn't think that when I saw it. But I must say it was a horrible display of embarrasment. I think he looked like a fool to be honest. Besides they can't say it was racist when Senator Bird was there with him.

Yet "Sheets" Byrd can star as a slave owning Confederate General in "Gods and Generals" and proudly displays a photo of himself in Confederate uniform in the lobby of his Senate office. I'm offended that Congress allows such a racist display on tax payer funded property.

When you read the reasons why Toni Morrison (a black profesor at Princeton) cited as reasons why Clinton qualified as the "First Black President" you'll cringe. It's every negative stereotype of the black male except for going to jail.

If Toni were white, the liberals would have lynched her on the PC tree for sure.
