Both sides are dirty and have hints of racist behavior. If I honestly had to ask myself who was more racist Donald or Joe I couldn't even tell ya. Biden was behind a lot of the laws that institutionalized many (inlcluding me) in the 90's.

I am not picking sides or judging at this point. Neither of those candidates reflect what I would like to see but who the hell cares.

Do your own homework

People keep saying as if Joe was the architect of the 94 crime bill when majority of the CBC voted for it.


Representative James Clyburn of South Carolina, who as House majority whip is the highest-ranking black member of Congress, voted for the crime bill, and he made the same point in vivid terms. In his first congressional race, in 1992, Clyburn once explained to an audience in the historic black enclave of Atlantic Beach that he opposed mandatory minimum prison sentences, which would become a feature of the 1994 legislation. “Those people darn near lynched me in that meeting, and there wasn’t a single white person in the room,” Clyburn told me. “The atmosphere back then—the scourge of crack cocaine and what it was doing in these African American communities—they were all for getting this out of their community.”


“I don’t care what color you are, if you are a criminal, you aren’t going to like the crime bill,” then-Representative Kweisi Mfume of Maryland, the chairman of the CBC, said at the time in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “Beyond that, if you are looking for some sense of security, for bans on weapons that are in our streets, for additional police officers and for programs for inner-city and rural young people, the crime bill helps you.”

Lil Wayne is also a "maybe, follow up"

You gotta imagine most of these super wealthy rappers are looking at that 62% tax plan like :patrice:

Lets presume jay z made $300 million last year, he would have to pay $186 million in taxes under that biden law :damn:.

I know its hard to feel bad for them, and we shouldn't. But let's not knock them for their train of thought, we not in their shoes. Let them vote who they want to vote for, complaining about it isn't going to change their vote. Lets just just worry about what we each individually do. Lets just be thankful hov and Wayne aren't supporting trump openly and telling their followers to vote trump...IF thats really the case

P.s. fukk trump

EDIT: THREAD CHANGED TO WAYNE VOTING FOR TRUMP. ORIGINAL THREAD WAS ABOUT HOV


What does 62% really mean though?? We get all caught up on a number without putting context to it.


I know that we don’t make nearly as much as famous rappers, but we shouldn’t sell ourselves short on how much we give to taxes. By the time I get my paycheck, I only see 59% of it. Isn’t that nuts? Take out a few % points for healthcare and 401k, and somethin like 33% of my check goes to taxes. Everybody in here is giving somewhere between 20-35% to taxes I’d imagine. I’m not gonna feel bad for a rich person because their rate is closer to 60.


Aside from that, the fact that some of that % includes state taxes and others that Biden/Trump don’t control.

Case and point why you can't listen to entertainers on politics. They are so far removed for the struggle and will sell themselves to the highest bidder to keep a seat at the table

If rich Black folks want to support Trump because he lowered their taxes, that's their prerogative, but I wish they'd say that instead of pretending they're talking to Trump for our benefit. They can't be that naive to think that even though Trump has lied about everything else and failed to follow through on each and every last one of his campaign promises, helping us is the ONE promise he's going to keep.

That 62% was a figure thrown out by cnbc for payroll taxes over $400k and it included new york state taxes.

People who are uneducated about taxes have been running with that number ever since.

And people have to remember that number is for payroll taxes. Someone brought up jay z but his ass ain't paying that percentage because he has a ton of business expenses he can write off (good for him).

Reading this through this thread is comedy. Folks in here truly hurt and disappointed. I've never been a fan of Wayne. Just looking at him I feel as if a disease can be transmitted visually like he's Medusa. Musically, other than My DJ and his verse on Benny's track recently, I've never listened to an Wayne verse in it's entirety.

That said, my expectations of him were minimal to non-existent. If you're disappointed in him endorsing Trump, I think you need to reevaluate your perception of entertainers like him. That's pathetic.
