I will give you an example of why I believe Obama's statement was politically incorrect. His statement brings up the question as to why he is not addressing the fact that 75% of black mothers in this country have children out of wedlock. Family structure itself is what should be addressed more importantly than Whine Merchandising. This is something that the black leaders of this country should address themselves, because I don't think they even want any help by the whites at all. Im not trying to turn this into a racial argument DJ, Im just debating the subject with you in presenting different views from both sides, nothing more.

As far as Stevie Wonder participating in a boycott, well that is just the nature of the music industry. Its done mainly just for notoriety and sales for the artist themselves more so than benefiting society.
I disagree, the city we are both from is a cesspool of poverty & gun violence, I know he still had family here for a long time so I think it's more empathy than it is for show.
