Can you just imagine the reaction if Obama went to a hip hop festival

[mrreowwr_kittty]

Complete with gangsta rap performers and various events featuring nude and semi-nude women? If he gave a speech to a raucous crowd of inebriated attendees? If he jokingly suggested that Michelle participate in a contest where women are expected to strip?

Can you IMAGINE???? :banghead:

BTW, this post is not intended to promote any assumptions or stereotypes about hip hop or rap, or bikers for that matter. It's meant to be a hypothetical to demonstrate the appalling double standard in election coverage. :grr:

6. Quote from the piece...

"Of course, John McCain won't have to pay any price for making an appearance at an event known and celebrated for its public drunkenness and fucking for an audience, not to mention dressing like (and in some cases actually being) outlaws. Imagine if it was a bunch of black people doing this, booty-shakin' in thongs, wearing gang colors, and downing 40s, and Barack Obama showed up to speak, and you pretty much can assume that Bill O'Reilly's neck veins would pop and shower his set with arterial spray. But because it's good ol' boys and girls? Well, that's just goddamn American fun."
