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:

    Ok, that answers my previous question. You really are THAT stupid. And yes, stupid people DO NOT know they’re stupid. Thanks fro clearing that up for us. More to the point, Democrats campaign consistantly on a platform of keeping blacks and hispanics dependent upon them for their existence. CURRENTLY, AS IN “RIGHT NOW” THEY ARE RACIST TO THE MARROW OF THEIR BONES! And lately they’ve even targetd low-income whites. Anybody giving away free stuff is sure to get the votes. And be sure in your Stockholm Syndrome induced lie-fest to leave out the part about George W. Bush appointing more minorities into key positions of government than any other President in American history. Yeah, don’t mention that because the facts are not what you’re interested in. Further, Clinton was a philanderer, plain and simple, not fit for service to the American people. Like your lordship Barack Obama. He steals $716 Billion from Social Security to pay for Obamacare which he insists to this day is alreay payed for but has already cost we tax payers 3 times the amount he said it would and it hasn’t even been fully implemented yet and when it is implemend in January of 2014 it will still leave 30 million UNINSUREDDD!! Just a different 30 million, bcause while he’s giving FREE STUFF to the low income uninsured he’s taking it away from hard working Americans. Obama who has borrowed like a hopeless gambler and spent like a drunken sailor after referring to Bush as unpatriotic and irresponsible for spending 4 trillion in 8 years and yet Obama spends 6.5 trillion in half that time. Oh wait you’re probably not reading this any more because truth is to liberals what sunlight is to vampires. Hope you have a nice day.

      You’re just repeating talking points that the Republicans were saying ad nauseum during the election & they were all proven wrong. So 65 million people besides me were wrong, but the 60 million people besides you were right? No, what’s more likely is that 65 million people didn’t believe the obvious fallacies of logic & truth, while the more gullible 60 million people chose to ignore the facts, & vote for someone merely because racism’s still a problem in this country, regardless of what they might say publicly, the dogwhistles were out in serious numbers during this election cycle. it’s not me or the people that voted for Obama that are stupid, it’s all the people that voted for a fraud & a liar like Mitt Romney & Paul Ryan. All you do is type the same crap I’ve heard in other comments from other people who sound exactly like you, & they can’t understand why I can argue circles around them as well as you. It’s because you have faulty reasoning, your facts aren’t facts, they’re merely your opinions, not the same thing, & they don’t seem to recognize the difference between the two. I just may make a point of hunting you down in 4 years when the economy’s recovered just to smash it into your face like Jimmy Cagney with a grapefruit. Your side lost, you’re wrong, & no amount of wailing, garment rending, & pearl clutching by you or anyone on your side will change that. Your side will lose the next presidential election in 2016 because they just can’t help themselves, they’re a bunch of old cranky white people who are bigoted down to their cores, & they’re going extinct just like the dinosaurs. So will you Keith Davidson, so will you.

        So if we’re on the subject of say guns, I’m supposed to talk about abortion? If we’re on the subject of abortion, I’m supposed to speak about immigration reform? What you call repeating talking points is actually, to those of us with cognitive function, staying on topic. And your comments make me think you didn’t read my entire response anyway, right? And you know it’s because you’ve been beaten at your own stupid little game of sniper-posting. But one thing is for sure, you have failed throughout this entire thread to stay on topic by continually going off the rails into your rant about an election which in your tiny little mind and in your narrow vision somehow means that if more evil people like you and more dead people, household pets and cartoon characters got off the couch to vote one way than the other, that somehow means your ideologies are better than everyone else’s. You actually believe that treachery like rigging the electronic voting machines makes your vision for America the correct choice. And to deny that all that did happen is only to prove how delusional you are. But then you yourself do you prove that libtards do actually know the truth and have abandoned it in favor of lies. Your agenda is clear, and there is no denying that immorality is winning. But it’s only biblical prophecy proving you wrong anyway. (And again, I could explain to you what that means, but I can’t understand it for you, and your not equipped to understand a whole lot, so what would be the point) But you do know the truth and you know it well and it disgusts you. That is how and why you take the truth and spin it and manipulate it to accomplish the goal you have of turning morality into immorality and vice versa. You reveal yourself and your simple-mindedness with your own words in comments like “the fallacy of truth and logic”. Please post that phrase everywhere so everyone can see what a complete loser and simpleton you are. And what you consider bigotry is actually the morality of God. Just because a majority of people believe that it is ok for a man to lie down with another man does not make it ok. Just because a majority of people believe to decry the mistreatment of animals is fashionable but to murder your own offspring in the womb is both morally sound and convenient does not make it so. Ok, so you have managed to convince 65 million people that voting against a certain party because they are white is somehow NOT racist, and voting for a guy because you have to undo the Republican victory over you of Emancipation by having the first black President is also not racist and not partisan. A majority of dumb does not mean that dumb becomes smart. It’s just a majority of dumb. But then I’m talking to someone who is so confused that I don’t even have to whip out the big artillery because you defeat yourself with your own words. “Fallacy of truth and logic” I am laughing so hard at you right now, you just have no idea. Oh by the way did you know that many staunch black democrats are turning away from Obama and are openly siting his failures and are saying, “Well, he’s only half-black anyway”? Did you know that? Oh wait I’m talking to someone who get their news from from the propaganda machine, AND BELIEVES IT!! LMMFAO!! Ok, here’s how I know, and now you will know you’re wrong. The Constitution of the United States of America, a document which is a thorn in your side because of all that self-reliance and freedom and liberty crap you hate so much, is replete with examples of why it is better to have a system of government where he people are represented by more than one party. But you actually would destroy America in favor of an autocracy. Now I know based on all your posts that you have very little grasp of history, or at the very least you’re attempting to be a revisionist (and believe me, any real revisionist historians who read your dribble, evil as they are, are laughing at you and spraying their milk out their noses, you DO NOT have the knack, kid) which is why it is you and not I who is bereft of any facts and instead rely on opinion so you can pretend you’ve won a debate, and is why your party is bent on repeating history and doom the rest of us to do so as well. But that notwithstanding, the fact is that this tyrannical thinking without fail leads to a monarchy and then those of you mindless drones who gleefully helped to usher it in become the victims of your own short-sightedness. That process has repeated itself continually throughout history because of this kind of imbecilic thinking. So yes, be proud of the fact that your party has systematically destroyed the most philanthropic and humanitarian nation in the history of the world; indeed be proud that your party’s policies have produced a generation of youth who can’t read their high school diploma’s but know how to shank a kid in the hall. Be proud of the fact that your party’s policies have murdered and entire generation of Americans any one of whom may have grown up to discover a cure for cancer or ways to beat poverty or an endless source of clean energy. Be proud that your paarty has done all this while claiming to be the party of enlightenment and ascension. And as far as your threats of violence upon me? Only a coward won’t use his real name and won’t post a real picture of himself. But that’s ok, the authorities and the administrators of this site have been notified. You’ll probably be hearing from someone soon. And we’ll see who goes extinct. Have a nice day, Skippy.

  • davey B

    I really wish we had better leadership in he U.S. How about Condy Rice as president ?

  • Rattlerjake

    This list is a joke! For one thing, Colin Powell may have claimed to be a Republican, but when you turn on your party and vote Democrat because he is black, you’re nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

    15 “celebs” who will probably now lose their status in Hollywood or wherever because of this article. : (

  • ljrich

    Blacks with low self esteem, and who believe being a Republican is an acceptable alternative to the Democratic party where the best interest of the Black American is represented, or at least considered. To be a Republican is to agree that you don’t matter.

      How pathetic. Maybe some brothers like to think for themselves. Maybe some are tired of being judged by the color of their skin.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004127918716 Jack Taylor

    Booker T Washington should not be on the list, he was a republican in a different era. Back then the democrats were the racists.

      Back then…. and still are.

  • jimmyjack

    Black or white should not matter. He is not a citizen of the U.S.@that should matter. God bless back white red yellow or any other color.

  • Àl

    Did they really vote Republican? Colin Powell did not.

    I am white and I love Cain. I don’t like Obama’s views. Race should not be an issue. In an election hopefully you are voting based on the policies that you believe will best benefit America.

  • http://twitter.com/MPeriod M.

    First off the article starts of talking about Nikki Minaj who clearly said her line was a joke, then a handful of the people on the list are dead and Powell has endorsed Obama twice….why even post something if you’re too lazy to research it?

  • Idiocracy

    Republicans ended slavery, not democrats

    Black people have just as much right to be misguided and wrong as anyone else. This list is wrong for that reason alone!

  • SilkyWiley

    Didn’t go through all of them, but they all look like Men’s Men to me. Figures they would want to make their own way in life and not be a government zombie.

  • MrBlue

    Who is Obama’s real Daddy?

    • Darien

      Your mom

  • Tom A.

    voting for someone because of their color is just as racist not voting for someone because of their color

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rod-Miller/100001118831228 Rod Miller

    Agreed … and when 95-99% blacks abandon their democrats, we will have arrived as a people.

    • Darien

      Or more people can abandon both the democrats and the Republicans because they both are screwing things up and can join the Independents…then I think progress can be made.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rod-Miller/100001118831228 Rod Miller

    A “C” Student who made good by sucking up to Republicans and then voted his color … twice. Hard to respect Powell now.
