So just because he doesn’t think Obama deserves a prize, and Obama happens to be half black, that makes him racist?
That self-victimization is exactly why things like racism persist in America.
I know black dudes who think Obama didn’t deserve it, are they racist against his white side?
Your all ignorant. Fuck outta here.

YN, why can’t you accept honest criticism without claiming that it results from the irrational hatred of people with different levels of melanin? This is 2010 not 1864.

I think the president is doing a fine job and I approve. I like the direction he is taking our country and the world. I don’t, however, feel that what he has done SO FAR merits a Nobel Peace Prize. In a couple of years sure, give him the prize, I’m sure he will deserve it.

YN…

What does race have to do with this?

It’s pretty scary that someone can’t voice their opinion of our President without you calling them “disrespectful to African Americans”.

Nothing Asher said has anything to do with our President’s skin color.

Asher was obviously an Obama supporter when he was running for office, and has been let down by his performance thus-far… just like a lot of other people…whether they are part of the hip hop community or not.

People have had negative things to say about every other president we’ve ever had, why is Obama off limits?

WoW You Guys getting at Asher like he called Obama a “nigger” or something damn. This is what make me dislike people cuz as soon as you say something bad about Obama than your not black or you a racists because you disagree. WTF type of society is this. Asher stated his opinion which many including myself share. What has he done that makes him worthy of “The Nobel Peace Prize” cuz I dont know somebody please tell me, and i gotta laugh at the Editor for this line “he has done more for the thought of the Black man than any other person in the history of the black man” , So I guess all the stuff that Martin and Malcolm did for the thoughts of young black males is just null and void huh.

Sorry but the tweets seem pretty anti-Obama. While I do think the award is jumping the gun (I mean what does he have to strive for for the next 3 years?), the Nobel Peace Prize committee has the right to award the prize to whomever they want. I don’t think Ryan Seacrest should have a star on Hollywood Boulvard but we all learn to deal.
Yes, there are people who have really committed their lives to establishing peace in the world, and they probably should have been picked but guess what they didn’t receive enough votes. And when you’re committing your life to something, you really shouldn’t expect to get a pat on the back for it otherwise your heart is not genuine and you’re not truly doing X for the love of others.
Personally I can’t help but be on Obama’s side because I just feel that anything ANYTHING he does will get his ass jumped. He seems to have someone jumping on his ass and fighting him just because they can. Don’t remember Clinton or Bush (that’s how young I am. Only remember 2 presidents) having this much resistance from all sides.

wow he didn’t say one thing about obama being black and you all turn around and say its because obamas black that hes against him receiving the nobel peace prize. “You’re a part of a culture built by Black and Latinos and you continue to speak in a disrespectful way towards African-Americans” from the blackout… so if someone is black they get some sort of pass from criticism? isn’t that a prejudice treating someone different because of the color of their skin? I don’t see where he was being “disrespectful” to African-Americans. “The hip-hop community galvanized to help elect our commander-in-chief and we shouldn’t turn our back on him this soon. What are you really doin’ to change the world, disco kid?” He’s an American he can decide for himself if he likes what Obama is doing and you’re right Asher Roth isn’t really doing anything to change the world but then again he wasn’t voted to be in charge of the country that rules the world and is merely a citizen unlike Obama. Why the fuck does it always have to be a racial situation when Obama is getting criticism from someone who is white, stop pulling the fucking race card you sensitive little bitch.
