Comments on: Tru Talks Blogcast: Joe (the singer) and Election 08′ http://truittoneal.com/2008/09/25/tru-talks-blogcast-joe-the-singer-and-election-08/ Radio Personality and Multimedia Guru Truitt O'Neal Fri, 20 Aug 2010 03:46:54 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Marlon http://truittoneal.com/2008/09/25/tru-talks-blogcast-joe-the-singer-and-election-08/comment-page-1/#comment-26 Marlon Fri, 26 Sep 2008 02:27:49 +0000 http://truittoneal.com/?p=549#comment-26 Robin.. Joe said he was gonna register to vote and he was excited to vote. "People of Color" need to stop beating each other down and hating on each other, wanting to cut their nuts off, not buy their albums, and "G.. Dam America." Obama is not pro-black. Obama is for America as a whole. "People of color" were the main ones hurting Obama's campaign. We look for every little thing to hate on the next. The brother said he would register and vote. How many of your neighbors, co-workers, and friends are you trying to get registered? We are the ones that really count. Do millionaires really care about gas prices, who's losing their house, war in Iraq? Listen to Tom Joyner tomorrow morning and check out how many "People of Color" names they drag through the mud and call it jokes. Robin..

It is really sad to know how man people do not understand basic concepts of their citizenship. There are so many people wasting the hard fought gains of the people who have come before them. Not just with regards to voting, but education and employment. We waste so much of what people literally gave their lives for. People who died never seeing freedom, but believing in it and knowing that they deserved it even if they never felt it. And we gleefully waste it. I am speechless.

Not talk politics... Dont knock the brother for doing what he do, and not doing what you do." I agree he was not there to talk politics, nevertheless, it is sad that a man who has travelled the world doesn't know what is going on in his back yard. Every man/woman of color should be into politics to some point! Our ancestors died for Obama to be where he is today and for us to have the right to vote. Joe should at the very least know his rights! I could go on and on @ this but, I will just say-Vote!!!

Cooper Thu, 25 Sep 2008 16:11:17 +0000 http://truittoneal.com/?p=549#comment-18 Okay. The brother has never voted but i sounds like a lot of other black people out there. He actually didn't believe his 1 vote made a difference. I do like what he said to Tom and the crew though. It just took someone to come at him in a serious tone to get him to register. I think this is good for all of us. Thre are a lot of informed people out there that need us to go to them peronally on a serious level and talk to them about the seriousness of this matter. Not for the sake of any one candidate but for the sake of keeping our freedoms. Sometimes our vote is the only voice we have. If we don't use it then we can't complain about not being heard or about any policies our government lays in front of us. Get the word out!!! Register today! Okay.

Not talk politics. If he's not into politics, he's not into politics. Truth is, there's still gonna be DRAMA in the world and United States, be it Obama or McCain. Do they know that Joe has a new CD coming out? WOW! Dont knock the brother for doing what he do, and not doing what you do. For the record, yes I'm a registered voter and I'm voting for Obama, but I'm not trying to push my beliefs on Joe. Grow up people! Joe was here to promote his album. Not talk politics.

At least he had a good attitude and was willing to go and register. While it is sad that he is a public figure and was not informed it is good to know that he was receptive to the idea of voting.

This guy is clueless! He is not engaged in the political process at all, and at his age that is ridiculous. I guess when the economic implosion we are facing results in the collapse of his label, he will get involved in the process. Disturbing. This guy is clueless!
