Didn't take Michelle Obama long to turn The White House into a ghetto. Sad.
This is pathetic that this rapper is being invited. Very sad to watch the U.S. turn into a third world country where thug culture is glorified.
Which is a ridiculous thing to say, since Common's long history of opposing "thug culture" is well known to anyone who knows much of anything about rap music.
The only ones whining about this non-issue are the far right wingnuts....
are you calling the state troopers union far right wingnuts?
quote from MSNBC:
Shakur, formerly known as Joanne Chesimard, was convicted for the 1973 slaying of Trooper Werner Foerster on the New Jersey Turnpike. She escaped prison in 1979, and is living in asylum in Cuba.
"The young people who read this stuff, hear this stuff, are getting a very dangerous and deadly message," David Jones, president of the State Troopers Fraternal Association union, said on Tuesday.
.After the union made the case on Tuesday, the New Jersey State Police itself issued a statement on the controversy on Wednesday. (end)
i guess the good news is that cuba is stuck with a murderer, instead of us.

One of the most inane things I've read on this site.
in case anybody doesn't know the chesimard story here it is-
On May 2, 1973 New Jersey State Troopers James Harper and Werner Foerster were patrolling the New Jersey Turnpike in the area of East Brunswick. They stopped a car with three occupants.
The Troopers were questioning the occupants when the driver and female passenger suddenly came up with semi-automatic pistols and opened fire. Trooper Foerster was struck twice in the chest, and Trooper Harper was hit in the shoulder. The female then proceeded to take the service weapon from the injured Trooper Foerster’s. She pointed it at the wounded Trooper and shot him twice in the head, execution style. The thirty-four-year-old trooper with just three years on the road died soon after. He left a wife and family behind.

Didn't realize Shakur was invited to the White House.....
didn't realize we had a country where people who disrespected law enforcement and their families would be either.
The first Bush invited Eazy E to the White House. Go read about him. This isn't anything new, except now we have the internet and every Joe Blow is able to read about it.
