The Real Deal
Ludacris is an idiot. I think he did this to cause controversy to promote his new reality show and upcoming albums. And he didn't mind hurting Obama to do it. Ludacris doesn't care about Obama or any one else but himself. He is willing to damage the first black presidential candidate in an attempt to put dollars in his pocket. But it is possible that he could have just been incredibly stupid and could not forecast the backfiring of his irresponsible words. It is sad. Furthermore, this good example to show how damaging Black People can be to Black People. Some African Americans have started to boycott Ludacris for this reason. If we don't police our own, nobody else will, and we will be to blame.
And for those who think no one cares about Ludacris, you're wrong. The media will and has run wild with this. In the eyes of white people who have very little, if not any relations with black people, it has a huge effect. Especially since Ludacris is a supporter of Obama, who is black, and who happens to be running for the highest office in the land. Ludacris' dumb move confirmed stereotypes of black men as being disrespectful and unintelligent. I don’t know to what degree this will hurt Obama but I'm absolutely positive it won't help him; or black people, or hip hop, or Ludacris himself.
