I pretty much agree I just don't like how bends over backwards to give a pass to Common. It's a bit dishonest. fukk the half-stepping we have to call these c00ns all the way out. Common knows better, he knew exactly what he was saying. So giving him some type of pass as if he didn't know what he was saying kind of defeats the purpose of calling him out. fukk Common, he sold out. His "we gotta forget the past" comments were disrespectful to all blacks past, present, and future. It's no different than the c00n shyt LL said in that country duet. I'm convinced fhat the force these dudes to sign some kind of c00n contract in exchange for mainstream acceptance. Every time you see a black celebrity issue public c00n statements like this it's either right after they've been rewarded are right before.
