50 Cent: "You Gotta Think Of Something Better Than Pinhead"

50 Cent, who tells Kay Slay in this video that he's not sure whether or not he should be offended because Bill O'Reilly called him a pinhead, defends the "controversial" statement he made ("America's not ready for a black president; they'll kill him!") prior to Super Tuesday. He explains Obama getting killed is the worst case scenario, disregarding the fact that getting killed is the worst case scenario for any president. Any person, for that matter. Also, I kept getting distracted by his teeth. They are so big and white and synthetic-looking. [XXL]

Good point Stereohyped. Although, he is thinking what a number of Blk ppl are thinking though. It's scary how some of us are still living in the post-Civil Rights era mentally. Just imagine if Harriet Tubman and MLK were scared.

While i do not in any way regard 50 as a hip hop artist (in fact I think his music blows), I do agree with the statement he made. When I heard that Obama was running for president and actually following through, one of the first things I thought was that he was definitely capable of winning the presidential election, but whether he would be capable of surviving the assasination attempt once he does, I wasn't so sure of. And while 50 is not usually an intelligent person, it is entirely possible taht Obama would be assasinated, after all, didn't Colin Powell get fucked over by people in the CIA?

@ Eric Talbot

I remember Colin's wife asking him not to run because she feared for his safety.

while, 50 is probably not the ideal person to be representing this point of view, i think he does articulate a point of view that african-americans hold about sen. obama becoming the first black president.

one could make the argument that fear is not a reason to not run for president or to not vote for who ever you think should be in office, but this is not the first time i've heard this opinion stated and he brings up a valid point. i don't think it's very fair to disregard his statement however you feel about the music he makes (and most of us agree his music isn't the greatest).

and as one of the other respondents posted, other black politicians have thought seriously about what it would mean to be the first black president and the danger it possibly represents.

Actually, I was born in the US. My mom is Haitian, and my dad is from Curacao (a former Dutch colony, now 3rd world country right above, Venezuela). So I'm West Indian, and Talbot comes from my dad's side of the family. I read somewhere it was a name of German origin. Oh, and I'm actually black, so yeah…
