Bizarre occurence

I had to discharge a soldier who was a "5%er" back in the 90s, because of bad conduct. Truly a hate monger. Scary that one of the POTUS's good buddies wears this garbage. Sort of akin to Wubbya or Billy Boy hanging out with the klan in the Rose Garden.....

Don't know much about the 5%'ers, but a cursory search seems to indicate a widespread misunderstanding of the groups beliefs.

Urban Dictionary: 5 percenters

There's more. AND, I was referring to Wubbya or Bill when I used the term "hang out". Jay Z appears to be a close friend to Barry.

This just in: black people every bit as capable as whites in forming fringe groups that indulge in supremacy thinking.

true that: I was just pointing out a bit of irony that no one in the media circus, etc. seems very upset about it, as they would if the roles were reversed.

Still not sure what you think the issue is...

Maybe you can enlighten me as to what makes Jay-Z's choice of jewelry at a basketball game 'ironic', or even worth mention.

There does seem to be more of a pass given initially, but I suspect it will not play out good over time. I've never been wild about the brother. His attitude puts me off and I'm not fond of hip-hop, period. About 2% of it is listenable for maybe a minute, but the rest of it is a total loss.

His wife sorta hot but also terminally arrogant.

Jay-Z’s bling from ‘whites are devils’ group | New York Post

sounds to me like the 5%er's arent completely happy about Jay-Z wearing their symbol either-

From the article-

Quote:
“Jay Z is not an active member — no one has vouched for him” Saladin Allah, a representative of the group’s upstate region, told The Post. “It was always understood that you don’t wear the *regalia if you don’t totally subscribe to the life.”
Seems to me that this is yet another case of rappers wearing random bling because its random bling. Id call this a reach personally, as mud to sling on Obama. Plenty of real issues to pick from, what a bobble headed celebrity wears when hes out on the town doesn't strike me as worth worrying about

Next up, Timex takes issue with Flava Flav for wearing a bootleg 2500% oversized version of their latest sports watch.

How are you determining that NGE is a racial hate group?

I think this guy wearing a crown offends me, as he clearly supports a reduction of the USA back to a colonial vassal of the British Empire. The underlying tensions of his statement are a threat to the American way of life.

OR, he could just be wearing a big a$$ chunk of gold on his head cause he can, and there is no meaning past the monetary value of his chosen bling.
