: MediaTakeOut.com's friends over at TheGrio.com are reporting that Wyclef Jean - who has been a commenter on FOX NEWS and a self professed "fan" of Sarah Palin will be performing at the REPUBLICAN national convention.

Here is what they are reporting:

The third time’s the charm — after two previous artists fell through, hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean will perform in Tampa, Florida during the Republican National Convention as the headliner of a non-partisan gala. Jean, formerly of The Fugees, will perform at the private concert fundraiser for Got Your 6 and Lifetime Television’s “Your Life. Your Time. Your Vote.” campaign, on August 29th.

The organizations had originally booked country legend Willie Nelson for the RNC gig, but he eventually pulled out, though Nelson stated he still supports the “Got Your 6″ campaign. Next to be booked was Randy Travis, whose arrest on drunk driving charges in Texas scuttled that plan.
WEEEEERRRD???

WHILE MTO ROUTINELY *** AND HIGHLIGHTS BLACK MINSTRELSY AND DYSFUNCTIONALISM, THEY ARE ALSO TRYING TO INSIST THAT BLACK FOLKS REMAIN "TRIBAL." EVEN IF THIS FUNCTION THAT WYCLEF JEAN WERE NOT NON-PARTISAN, HE SHOULD HAVE THE FREEDOM TO SUPPORT A REPUBLICAN EVENT IF HE SAW FIT. THERE SHOULD BE BLACK FOLKS INVOLVED IN ALL SECTORS OF BUSINESS AND POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS. THIS IS HOW YOU GAIN RESPECT AND LEVERAGE.....WHY SHOULD THE DEMS WORK ON BEHALF OF BLACK INTEREST IF THEY KNOW THAT YOU WILL SUPPORT THEM NO MATTER WHAT. BUT SITES LIKE MTO DO NOT ENCOURAGE SOPHISTICATION ONLY INFANTILISM.

FIRST OFF, FOXY BROWN MIGHT BE CONSIDERED ONE OF THE FIRST BLACK TRASH FEMALE ARTISTS THAT SET THE TONE FOR THE CURRENT DOWNWARD TREND IN THE PROMOTION OF PROSTITUTION RAP. WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO INTERVIEW HIP HOP LEGEND AND LYRICIST, MC LYTE WHO NICKI PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE REACHED OUT TO BECAUSE LYTE'S IMAGERY IS NOT THAT OF A BUFFOON. WHAT HAPPENED TO FEMALE RAP ARTISTS SUCH AS BAHAMADIA, ANTIONETTE SHA ROCK, SALT & PEPA, LATIFAH, MONE LOVE, ETC WHO DID NOT GIVE US THE "*** ON WAX" PARADIGM. STOP SUPPORTING BLACK WOMEN THAT INSIST ON EMBARRASSING OUR CULTURE!

MTO IS ALL ABOUT THE PROMOTION OF DYSFUNCTIONAL BLACK PEOPLE AND BLACK MINSTRELS.....PRETTY MUCH IN THE SAME VEIN AS THE NUMEROUS COURT, TALK, RADIO & CRIME SHOWS...THE PROMOTION OF BLACK DYSFUNCTIONALISM IS QUITE PROFITABLE.

STOP SUPPORTING ARTISTS THAT ROUTINELY *** BLACK IMAGERY AND CULTURE. STOP SUPPORTING WOMEN THAT INSIST ON WEARING AFRO SAXON TOUPEES AND/OR CAUCASIAN HAIR HATS (THEY ARE PUBLIC EMBARRASSMENTS......A PIG IN A TUXEDO WOULD BE EQUALLY AS CRAZY). TIME TO SWITCH TO ALTERNATIVE BLACK CULTURE, MUSIC AND THOUGHT, COURTESY OF AFRONERDRADIO.COM. LISTEN EVERY WED & SUN AT 7PM (THE COMIC SHOPPE AIRS EVERY SUN AT 6PM-DISCUSIING ALL THINGS COMIC, SCI-FI, VIDEO GAMING & FANTASY...YES BLACK FOLKS HAVE INTEREST IN THESE MATTERS AS WELL)....STOP ACTING LIKE WALKING STEREOTYPES)..CALL THE HOSTS LIVE AT 646-915-9620. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, PEOPLE. THE PROMOTION OF ***$%A NONSENSE MUST STOP!!

@afronerd

Supporting republicans because u are unsatisfied with democrats is not sophisticated. One should have a better reason than that. Not supporting someone who is at worse indifferent to your plight to support someone who has made it clear on occasion after occasion that they want to not only disregard your plight as imaginary but enable the very thought process that contributes to your plight is not sophisticated.

JhaneBond

Felicia29

Really??? Wyclef still repping Haiti, when you took advantage of your people and let Sean Penn (not to mention a white man) to help your own people, that Wyclef?? He tried to run for president in his own country and his own people said no....why should he even bother wasting his breath....ain't nobody checking for Wyclef old ***!!!

"If this is for real he should perform "if I were president" - Kill the Budda

LOL


vixenise

There's an issue if a black person does anything that some would like to see as "white only." Dear fellow black people, some of us do not like to fit into a box. Black isn't defined by what you like, support or do. It's simply a race. I'm young, black, female, not racist or wealthy, a total opposite of what the media wants you to believe the republican party is all about.


TRUTHSYRUMMM1

hmmmm Im sooo not shocked .......we'd all be surprised to see how many minorities sitting on millions are for that republican ***......IJS theyre rich biiiatch! AN MONEY CLOUDS THE MINDS OF FOOLS


tellinghistruth

@upupandaway. I agree with you all the way!!! YOU ARE TELLING THE TRUTH, BUT HOW MANY ON THIS SITE WILL READ YOUR COMMENT AND GET WHAT YOU SAYING!!!!...CHECK OUT "TRUTH STOP PLAYING" ON YOUTUBE...


erinmcole

ok? follow me on twitter@ColeEcole4 and on instagram@childofgod1994 I follow back


stormzoee

I'm poud of him. Not every Black person in America supports Obama. We are individuals and some of us are intelligent enough to vote for someone other than the half- black guy.



katdaddy4

All of you democratic sheep @$$ bytches can keep voting for democrats who have absolutely no reason to do anything for you nyggas cuz they know u gonna vote for them anyway ! We are the only idiot racial group who does this....

PUTTING ALL OUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET IS STUPID AS *** !!

Afronerd makes a great point, but you nyggas are too *** partisan and democratic @$$kissers to see that he makes sense. Whether you like republicans or not, we should make them work for our vote like all the other races and groups do ? Obama does things for ***, hispanics, liberals, EXCEPT FOR BLACK PEOPLE !!!!

No one is paying attention to us or wtf we want cuz reaps right you nyggas off cuz they aint getting yur vote and democrats right nyggas off cuz they gonna get you nyggas votes whether they do anything for nyggas or not !


birddog

Yup! you so right that he is a sell out secureclix.com/free-nfl-jersey


sanityplease

The original article says that he will perform DURING the convention. It doesn't say he will perform AT the convention. He will will perform AT a NON-PARTISAN gala that will raise money for a NON-PARTISAN group that benefits military veterans.

I never liked Wyclef, but sh*t y'all...reading is fundamental.


KINGME_B!TCH

IS DEZE *** SERIOUS

I FEEL CERTAIN WAY ABOUT THIS DUDE

HE *** MY GIRL LAURYN HILL UP

Dagrt1 and zoup aren't to be taken seriously. Both are blatant illiterates, but it's further than that. Zoup to this day is in denial about Obama being our eighth black president, and dgrt1 assumed that I'm a hideous fat girl who can't get laid and must be lying about being engaged because I'm abstinent. Yeah, because only attractive people ***. Idiots, I tell ya. I'm republican because of my conservative views. I don't care to appear "provocative." I haven't told anyone outside of my home that I was, accept anonymously over the internet. People have found out and bash me like I'm committing the ultimate sin. Politics isn't a black vs white. Only aholes think of it that way.


LoveDaMusicHard

Wow, Wyclef and other commenters here must not give a *** that Republicans admitted to trying to stop black people from voting! I guess once you get into a certain tax bracket, you don't care about obvious racism and voter suppression, it is all about the $$$$


Mimi704

What's up with that Clef??? Selling out much brother??? Smh :-(
