After celebrating 100 Days O’ Obama, the best politics analysts in the game sat down to talk about our 44th president and his “schwag.” Although the term has been wearing on me for awhile, it’s good to see that real recognizes real.

Check out what CNN had to say below:

Forgot your party hat yesterday?! Check out these stories that celebrate Obama’s first 100 days in office:

    yeah I saw that the other day and was like WTF IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?? That wasn’t funny, or entertaining… She made herself look like a complete dumbass. After she went through that whole “swagger, swagga” thing, I just turned the channel. Do they call themselves trying to appeal to Black people? If so, it’s not working AT ALL. That was just ridiculous

    T. J. Holmes got some swagger. He is so handsome. Just thought I would say that, since the story is so ridiculous.

    Hey T. J, How you doing?(smile)

    @Keeshy10

    Honestly, I have if you’e like the LEGIONS ignorant ass black people in my community who completely resist and fight off ANYTHING that would educate their dumb asses only to use dumb ass rap lyrics, or the “cool” words of the month to help build ther vocabularies…but I’m gonna have to respond to what you said in a neutral sense becaue I give NOBODY the benefit of the doubt unless you’re a toddler who is still learning stuff…

    But seriously, luv, who are you tying to fool with your response? for starters, the white chick on the news was poking fun at a word that far too many of us use COMPLETELY out of context just because they hear their favorite celebrity say it. And what’s wrong with that? Black people are the MAIN ONES who make fun of the out-of-context words OTHER people who say the dumbest s**t to make THEIR race look bad also. So tell me who the hell gave US a pass on the s**t WE do and say?

    But I digress (slightly)…

    That word…no…EVERY DAMN WORD you hear these MORONS on the street walk around saying, that makes them look like black Paris Hiltons, makes ALL black people get thrown into the same bucket as those who actually ARE “ghetto” or “hood” (which are also out of context, but still…). This is how our community is recognized whether anybody likes it or chooses to accept it or not. Because ignorance amongst black receives the most attention…NOT necessarily because other races are trying to bring us down (everybody has their opinion about that, so just leave that one there), but because that’s the “cool / hip” thing. you will NEVER see uneducated cornballs like the one who opened this topic make a thread on any black children who excel in spelling, math, scienece, etc, and actually make the papers and news because of their BRAINS; you’ll never see the morons who put together these topics make one about the children here in Harlem who are actually challenging right WHITE kids and their families for a seat in elite private schools because of their IQ’s and good grades instead of their incomes; you’ll never see these idiots who make these threads ever even MENTION the fact that Columbia University here in Harlem is about to have their commencement and a portion of the students are BLACK (an accomplishment that should be talked about BY DEFAULT [I will definitely be there this year taking pictures of all the black graduates just to post them up somewhere]). No! Instead they post up race-hate-baiting, hoodrat mentality advertising, “lets hate all whit people for certain s**t that we bring onto OURSELVES” type of topics just to get a rise of of their OWN PEOPLE. Pathetic…

    So like I said…who are you trying to fool with this one? That’s not a personal blow to YOU, but in general. Because truth be told…about 95% of EVERYBODY who post replies on these things getting all angry at someone from another race usng a word only the ignorant among us use turn right the f**k around and flat out ABUSE that same word almost in every freakin’ sentence….quite frankly i’m tired of it…because we look really really stupid…and the stupidiy is PREFERRED among that number of us…making our race look freaking HORRIBLE…

    I mean, really….”real recognizes real”?? Are you f**king kidding me? A good way to make ME turn around walk away from you while you’re talking is to say dumb s**t like that, “waaaaaaooow” (a word that I didn’t even know HAD an A in it), or that “shwag” bulls**t (a word that I didn’t know had a H in it). And this is what we’re passing to our kids….i’m telling you, the next generation is so f**ked it’s not even funny…and it has ZERO to do with some damn national debt.

    I mean seriously, how is it possible to technically sit up there and TELL white people you’re not allowed to make us sound and look like uneducated dicks…only WE can do that….(need I remind you of that ever so popular case of the “nigga” word?…Ugh! It made my GPA slip down a few points just to have to type that word out)….

    QUESTION TO OUR “EDUCATED,” IS WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

    IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

    The only thing ANYBODY in this society these days can do is lead by example and HOPE someone catches a ride on the train. I mean, look at what’s going on in our own community…our children are being taught and are allowed to learn every rap lyric (curses included) and freaky dance in the book….BUT CAN’T SPELL THEIR OWN F**KING NAMES!!!

    All anybody can do is try to raise some children who DON’T look to rap, basketball, or drug dealing to get them out of the hood. Maybe a child here and there might see that it’s possible to use your BRAIN to excel and get influenced by that….that’s all anybodyh can do these days…

    Now had this been the 70s and 80s this wouldn’t be a problem. That whole “it takes a village to raise a child thing was very true….hell, that same village helped raise EVERYBODY’S CHILD. If they f**k up and the neighbors found out, they went upside their heads FOR the parents while they’re at work….NOWADAYS, all you hear is “that’s not your kid, so mind your business”. Forget the fact that yuo just saw that same 11 year old smoking weed on the corner….

    It’s not explained all that clearly, but I’m sure yuo get the point…
