You’re Not Down With Brother Obama? 15 Black Celebs Who Have Republican Tendencies

September 12th, 2012 - By Blair Bedford

As the next Presidential election draws nigh in November, the two most popular candidates, Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney have been paving the campaign trail. With election year comes slander, controversy and your occasional celebrity political rants. Politics met entertainment with the latest celebrity rant, coming from Nicki Minaj, in which she rapped in vote of Republican Mitt Romney. This was a shock to fans and celebrity bloggers everywhere, but Nicki is not the only popular African-American face that has shown favor to the GOP.  Here is a list of some African-American celebrities who have supported or are affiliated with the Republican party:

    You forgot Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and I believe that Malcolm X was as well. All of the first black politicians were.

    Why do they have Colin Powell in here twice?

  • CNWJR

    Why is a person who is bi-racial always called black & not white?Why is obama not white.It’s because he wanted the vote.Democrats want to keep the black community under foot.Instead of saying”get out & work”,it’s handouts,welfare,etc,etc,so they’ll get your votes & keep them in power.Vote for me & you’ll get this free & that free.Next up is the Mexicans,with amnesty to get their votes.I have tons of friends & family who are black that vote Republican & to say they vote wrong is to say we’re not all free as Americans(Not African Americans,Hispanic Americans),but Americans to vote as we choose.

    Personally,I think this web site is racist.If I started a web site catering to just white people,you’d call me a racist.Why can’t we forget we’re different colors & remember we’re all created in God’s image….Color shouldn’t even be brought up.

    I am not a Republican. ;) Clinton did have a Republican congress, however and Clinton was willing to work with the other side, unlike our current #worstpresidentever! And guess what, we are 16 trillion in the hole, on track to be over 20 T very soon. Obama will be the first president on history to spend 4 T in one year. You must be so proud.

    PS, I am smarter than those who voted for him, no doubt about it.

    I think the ideals of the Republican party are better for all Americans, including black people. I’m not in agreement with some of the social beliefs of some Republicans, and of course, there will always be some bigots on that side who don’t like black people. However, the concept of hard work, keeping what you earn, and of personal responsibility, is one many Americans still value. When I see a rich person, I’d like to be more like them, not drag them down to my level. I truly believe that many Democrats, while believing they care for black people, support programs that will always keep many of them poor and dependent on the government, which is exactly what they want, as it’s good for votes. I’m glad to see some black people here that think differently.

    Colin Powell not in tune with Obama? The RINO just about handed him the election by coming out for him in one of the Sunday morning shows a few weeks before the election. Get a grip on reality.

    It’s still BOOOOSH’s fault. The reality is that Obama is a failed president. No one is better off. Least of all the black community. Watch that space, it is just going to get worse because the failed policies of this administration can not succeed. History has proven that.6 months later, more and more people are starting to see that. Their taxes have gone up and their insurance has gone up and no one is finding a job. Face it, Romney would have been so much better for this country, but half of this country is not wise enough to see. They soon will. I give us two more years.

    Just want to say that I appreciate the professionalism I’ve seen so far on the articles here. Most places have articles that ooze their opinions and sides…which is very un-journalistic. It’s refreshing…I can be who I am and read these articles (so far) without feeling smothered by someone’s personal agenda.

  • Khanikins

    The writing in this piece is horrible. It’s dreadful and not worthy of a legitimate publication. Here are some of the most entertaining examples of this piece’s bad writing:

    “(The Rock) was formerly invited to speak at the 2000 Republican National Convention.”

    Invitations can change into former invitations? Like, “this sandwich used to be an invitation before it changed into a sandwich. Now it’s a former invitation.” The phrase “formerly invited” makes no sense. Maybe the author just had a typo and meant to write “formally invited.” Either way, bad writing and editing.

    “Colin Powell was a very important figure for the beginning of the Bush administration..”

    So did the beginning of the Bush administration call Colin Powell and tell him how important he was to it? Grammatically, this makes no sense. I hope the author meant to type “during” instead of “for.”

    There are other gems in this piece. I’m particularly entertained when the author writes that someone “highly supported” or “highly opposed” something. I guess that’s a way of showing that person was really into supporting or opposing those things.

    By the way, there is no such thing as a George W. Bush Jr, as the author wrote. There’s a George Bush Jr. But his father was named George H.W. Bush.

    Very sloppy writing. Very sloppy, indeed.

    Yep, Obama is our boss and our dad. He has all the answers and we have been delivered from the horror that a former governor, CEO and all around successful fix it guy would have wreaked! Unemployment is at an all time low, especially in the black community.Jobs are booming! No one is on welfare any more. We are FINALLY out of debt, everyone in the Middle East loves us. Obama has surrounded himself with amazingly smart, patriotic people. PLUS, Michelle Obama has some nice, toned arms and we all know how important that is! YAY us! All hail, King Obama, who has saved us…….he is our lord and savior. He can do nothing wrong, that guy, he is the perfect American.

    “…more people agreed with me than with you..” Right, and I’m the one with the self image issues. Geez, Louise! And I’m not concerned with Clinton’s sex life, quit taking snippits of a statement and making it the main issue. That kind of tactic only works on braindead idiots such as yourself for recruiting into the ranks of the Obamabots. Here’s a little news flash for ya, it’s how YOU got suckered into the lie. All the cute little debating tricks you libtards use to get around the truth and dodge the facts are only proof that you can’t win anything, elections, debates, nothing without treachery. And I seriously doubt you ever served, especially as a Marine since you have no honor and have to hide behind a fake moniker and avatar. I apparently have more courage than you even with you threatening me with violence. (Which by the way is on record now with the FBI and INTERPOL as well as a couple of my local authorities. Just in case I have to frag your sorry *ss in self defense it will be on record that the threat came from you) I will post my pic and use my name and you will not, that pretty much destroys your sociopathic claims of superiority. And my service was directly to the men and women of the armed forces as a civilian liason, so I did my part and did it for 8 yrs to your 6. So eat that and choke! As far a your stupid little pic of Bush, I dont see how that changes the fact that Obama has spent more in half the time. And spent it on stupider stuff like failed businesses that JUST HAPPENED to be campaign contributers. Looks like you are so stretched out back there that you don’t even know when YOU are being screwed.

    Ooh, “Skippy”, that’s original. Right your own material? Unlike you I’m able to determine the relevence of issues and bring it forth rather than think of everything as being a dead issue just because it was commented on a few months ago. I’m sorry you have no creativity or originality, but being mad at the world for it is no way to go through life, son. You don’t have to take your obvious anger and frustration out on other people. It’s not their fault you’re a schmendrik. And I was not going to comment on his page at all after reading the article, but going through the comments I noticed you were randomly taking pot shots at people who were making general comments that had nothing to do with you and you were just going around firing away at anybody an everybody who made a statement you didn’t like. And you want to talk about insecurity? Please, dilweed. A little introspection, huh? I have yet to see you level one single accusation or derogatory remark at me or anyone else that you yourself are not guilty of within that same post. it’s comical how nearsighted and narcissistic you are.So you think trying to scare me off by making thrreats of violence towards me is NOT trying to have the last word? Again, INTROSECTION! Getcha some. The whole idea behind any of your posts on here was to try and get people off topic, divert attention away from the fact that you had nothing to show for your ridiculous views. You might try just not posting comments and then you won’t have to keep posting more to cover up the dip-stick comment from before.

    Federal Correctional Facilities are not jails, they’re prisons, big difference. So it would be physically impossible for him to be in a “jail cell” in a Federal Correctional Facility. Secondly, if an un-American, Freedom-dispising, Liberty-hating Commie like Barack Obey-me can fix elections and win twice, then Americans can fix the broken electoral system and a true patriot like Alan (not Allen) West can win an election fair and square. Never say never, nudnick. You might be served your words as a side dish with a giant pile of crow. And you should fire your friends. They were messing with your obviously empty head. It’s also obvious by your own comments throughout this thread that you don’t have any original thoughts rolling aroung in your pointed skull and unless your “friends” give you things to say you are otherwise left with nothing to do. Maybe you should get a job and move out so your mom can rent the basement apartment to someone who is more deserving of the space and oxygen. Man, what a waste of food you are.

    And Rushbo is not a President, so your point…is not a point at all. What else you got?
