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:

    Colin Powell supports Obama. And I am a little surprised Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t listed.

  • Lyin Ryan & Mitt the Twit

    Colin Powell has endorsed Obama twice so this article is really stupid.

  • pusherhombre

    Actually, that is 13 who are not down with Brother Obama. #14 supported Obama and #15 was dead long before Obama was born. But two who could take their place include J.C. Watts, former football player, minister, and United State Representative, and Herman Cain, businessman, radio talk show host, and Federal Reserve Governor. Possibly Bill Cosby too.

    This amounts to a dog-whistle publicity hit-list. The New Democrat is confused and filled with cognitive dissonance over this.

    It is not American to fire, or makes people lose their jobs
    over this dip *$%^. It is very much American to have each and every one of our
    own backs at this time and shakes and dusts it off. Move on with boldness in
    the face of diversity. Now, that is very much American! Trifling times, we make
    it through, that’s what it is all about, also… anyway.

    Obama was the one whom had an unprecedented opportunity to bring everyone together, and shut my mouth up real fast, by doing what WE wanted him to do, because regardless, his base would follow him anywhere… and WE all know he isn’t the guy for the job, and he isn’t doing what he is supposed to be doing; he’s screwing it up for some reason.

    I am a Republican also; I always have been, and I feel that I would of been very mad at anybody mistreating anyone. I really believe I would of been mad as hell about them mistreating the blacks back in the day, because it makes me mad thinking about it now, so you can kiss my @$& if you really want to believe I/we are all a bunch of racists.

    Obama is human waist; it didn’t ever really matter ever what his skin color is, or was…

    I don’t think race has anything to do with it. Either you’re for equality for all people, or you’re not. Either you’re for equality in healthcare, education, equal opportunities, protecting the environment, human rights, fighting when we have to, not when we want to, etc. etc etc.. Or you’re not. Race only matters to racists, as for me, it’s about issues, and will always be about the ((((((((((((((((((((ISSUES)))))))))))))))))))))!!!!

    An old Brother once told me that Black people voting republican is like chickens voting for Col. Sanders (KFC). I thought it was funny when he said that to me, but now I know what exactly he meant. You’re putting your own neck on the chopping block, because they simply don’t care!

  • Duude

    Colin Powell? Gimme a break!
