Kim Whitley (in the Obama shirt), Flo Rida, Lil Mama, Young Joc and Mc Lyte praise Obama from the red carpet at the Black Entertainment Awards in America. BBC has video of the interviews HERE.
The BET crowd joined together to holler "Obama or Die" (video here) last night at the annual awards show. MyWay reported:
Barack Obama didn't attend the BET Awards, but that didn't stop attendees from talking about him.
"If we all register and vote, we will have the first black president in the history of America," Sean "Diddy" Combs told the crowd Tuesday at the Shrine Auditorium before chanting "Obama or Die" - a declarative remix of his neutral "Vote or Die" motto from the 2004 presidential election, when he attempted to boost the youth vote.
Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, was just a few blocks away at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for a fundraiser with a Hollywood guest list that included supermodels Heidi Klum and Cindy Crawford, boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard and movie stars Samuel L. Jackson and John Malkovich. While Obama didn't make an appearance at the BET Awards - either live or on tape - his presence was felt.
As she picked up her award for best female R&B artist, Alicia Keys told the crowd that it's time for black people to erase the word "can't" from their vocabulary.

"Together we can do anything," she said, playing on the Democrat's "Yes We Can" mantra before shouting: "Obama y'all!" It does make you wonder what the inaugural ball will be like come January.
"Obama or Die"
Is that a threat?
With much (or all) of that anger stemming from problems they've brought on themselves. I have no pity for them or their "problems."
The election of Obama would end up as a racial disaster...every criticism of him or his policies would immediately be shouted down as "racist." He's already started it in his campaign. A large part of the black community would undoubtedly see it as being open season for "their" agenda which had been put down by The Man for so long.
What little goodwill is left between whites and blacks would be vaporized after the first year or two of his administration.
Well if he doesn’t win people might die when these animal thugs start rioting, looting and beating.
Won’t happen here, either. Still, they have cars and there are roads.
Oh you can bet on it. Thats the perfect revenge....if Obama doesn’t win, burn down your own grocery store and steel a TV. That’ll show em.
That’s how they showed us after Katrina - burned a whole shopping center down across the river from New Orleans and stole I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods. Why during the evacuation, while waiting for helicopters on the I-10, they jumped off and stole very carton of cigarettes and every bottle of liquer from a little Vietnamese couple’s store. I could tell your more - not enough space. Not to mention how they left our Superdome - actually tearing out the seats and carring them off. (Don’t think people saw a lot of that on MSM.
Yeah, but like I said, any riots on my block will be very......short.
A coworker of mine mentioned about the widly known concept of the end of the world according to the Chineese and Myan calanders. The Ani-Christ is supposed to reign for 42 months or so, be from Muslim decent, etc. The calanders say the end of the earth is to come Dec. 21st or so in the year 2012. Any thoughts??
yeah, that was a strange time. It revealed a huge disconnect between what blacks and whites thought about a lot of things. So many blacks thought he was innocent but that this is payback for all the wrongly accused and convicted black people in the past. I tend to think there's going to be riots either way.
Following the lead of Sharpton, who has not-so-subtley encouraged riots should Obama be "robbed" in Nov.
“cotton-picking”
You’ve got to be kidding. Cotton-picking is slang used to indicate annoyance. The adjective cotton-picking was first used in Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes cartoons.
Re 2009 inaugural ball - (insert ghetto prom pictures) -—
ooohhh, you be bad!
So, if Obama does not elected then all black people will die?
So, if Obama does not elected then all black people will die?
Die? From what? Are they going to off themselves when Osama doesn’t win?
“cotton-picking
Racist.
“
My mother picked cotton as a young girl in Georgia...she’s white. Only a racist would cry racist to “cotton-pikin”, ya racist.
Nah, they’re not voting for him MERELY because he’s Black...
Actually I’m glad they’re being this brazen about it. I can’t help but wonder how many people who don’t normally vote will vote AGAINST Obama for the same reason. Not saying two wrongs make a right, but I would call it poetic justice.
One reaps what one sows.
I prefer:
"Live Free or Die"
"Do or Die"
"Get Rich or Die Trying"
"Give Me Liberty or Give Me Die"
Leni
Try this experiment:
Use the term "cotton-pikin" in a sentence around a southern African-American.
Will they?
I think they will riot regardless of whether he wins or loses. I also think that they will not just destroy their own neighborhoods this time and will have help from the anarchists in bringing the chaos to the suburbs and elite urban areas.
Be prepared.
