No, I never said that.
 Nor did I say "Good Riddance, another worthless black person dead".
 
 But of course you idiots like to put words in my mouth and thoughts in my head that don't exist, all for the purpose of goading me and trying to stir up controversy in hopes of making your boring little lives more interesting.

so basically, as long as the guy does something you appreciate, he deserves to live?  but if not, fuck em? [/b]

I can't believe what I'm reading. I hear people diss Curt Cobain, The dude from Alice and Chains and a whole slew of other peoples deaths. Rhett is doing nothing any differently then what other people do when someone they don't like dies. If George W. Bush died, the minority of people that didnt vote for him from this thread would have a field day. I'm not saying it's right, but if we're gonna slam Rhett, then slam everyone else that disrespects someone dying. I know I do it, so I'm not gonna slam Rhett for doing it.

I am certain, that you could not make my life more interesting.  i am dead positive of it.

All right, enough!
 
 My reaction was just a knee jerk reaction to what I read about the guy in the Washington Post Express today. Before today, I had hardly heard of the guy. Yes, "Good riddance" was harsh. "I won't miss him" would probably be a better statement to make.
 
 From what I read about the guy, he didn't seem like a very responsible human being, and his music does nothing for me but annoy. To read "Rhett hates black people" into such a statement is asinine, and I resent anyone doing so.
 
 I don't think a guy with a drug problem who indiscriminately fucks and impregnates women is a responsible human being, nor do I think such a person is representative of black or white people.

Tell us all why your life is so interesting, so I can be happy for you!

I believe "jerk" was the word used. I'm sure much worse was said under your breath. I'm glad I'm not anymore though, It just wasn't the same.

again, i never said you werent anymore....   :cool:

[rockplease]

haha, this post is funny.
 
 
 Well ODB did drive up to the welfare office in a limo, if you ever listened to his music you would understand the type of person he was. Yes, i did see the MTV special that day.
 
 Secondly, I think Rhett is funny, he has all right to not like black people. If you continue to feed into his statements then he is getting what he wants.
 
 ODB was a funny rapper, nothing more nothing less. For people that try to judge his character would only do so by juding his stage persona. Most people fail to realize that he did alot of charity work for inner city NY kids. But of course you wont see this on CNN or MTV. As far as him not being a good father, I know tons of musicians that arent around their kids often, does that not make them a good father?
 
 I dont know...hmmmm...
