DJ Chuck T calls Obama a “traitor”

August 22, 2008 · 1 Comment

So I guess not every black person supports the guy huh?

The Carolina DJ recently took Obama to task for distancing himself from supporters like Ludacris and Rev. Jeremiah Wright after they said controversial things. That doesn’t sit well with Chuck T, who’s thinning his argument by throwing around terms like “Uncle Tom” and, for some reason, getting hung up on Obama’s ancestry.

“He’s not black, he’s bi-racial! And he wasn’t even raised by black people,” Chuck told MTV recently. “Barak doesn’t embody the values and characteristics we as black people are raised with. Our people are taught to never turn their backs on the ones that love them and support them for any reason. He’s proven he’s willing to turn on anyone just to be President.”

I’m not sure that I agree with his comments. I think he should’ve come out in a different way because the “he’s not black” and “he wasn’t raised around black people” has nothing to do with what he can do for the country. Am I a Barack Obama supporter? No. I’ve said from the get-go that I’m not a fan of his because he comes off to me as a person who can talk a good game but probably can’t or won’t back it up. Am I a supporter of McCain? Hell no. But that’s just my view on Barack. I’ve also come to the conclusion that whoever the president is has to have tough skin and has to be able to put this country’s major issues at the forefront and quit worrying about what everybody else has going on. Period.
