2) You assume all of them are "terrorists" or have harmed people. In fact, of the approximately 760 detainees held in gitmo since 2002, only 10 had charges filed against them. Most were completely innocent and denied due process of law or minimum ethical treatment for prisoners.

I AGREE, I AGREE, I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!
I dont' know how many of you guys are military memebers. But i am so i have to pick my words very carefully. But i will say this the only 10 charged is incorrect there was 13!!!LOL and that is the point it's bad enough that we have people sitting away in our own prisons on our own soil but now we take our military memebers to watch "may or may not be" terrorist elsewhere when there are much more important project that we need to deal with as a country. Not only that but guess who's funding all of this (check out your pay stub, and i bet you can answer it yourself). So good on him for shutting that bad boy down. And what a lot of people don't know, those prisoners are afraid to go home. They were captured and survived this long so "they most have talked". If they were to return to their families which most of them have been killed by their own neighbors, they wouldn't last very long. Granted i speak only of the extremist, just like in other religions.
Now, on a different note, i don't know how many of the members of this forum are of any color but, I AM. Racism, should not be tolerated in any form of the matter be it Jay-z britney spears or me. I don't think the song lyric was made as a racist comment by Jay-Z.
Young Jeezy, like O'Reily said was absolutely a disgrace. And the president should be outraged and I am sure there is a much larger number of memebrs in the black community that are PISSED THE EFF OFF BY THIS COMMENT. Things like that, like i said earlier should not be tolerated, I wish it didn't come to this. Why can't we just celebrate a change and leave it at that. I personally am disgusted by the comment and ashamed. What we all have to remember is every village has an idiot or two and Jeezy has just let us all know who it is. Mostly I'm embarrassed about all of this and I know a lot of people that will be as well.
Being of mixed races and in the military where you are forced to live and deal with people (from your own country but you'd sware they were from another planet), you learn what to say, do and listen to around others as to not "perpetuate the stereotype" as I like to say. But, Jay-Z has always been a rapper that i feel like everyone can have fun listening to, like Missy Elliot or Timbaland. I think in the PC world we live in everyone wants to catch everyone else for saying something, just so you can go on t.v. and pretend to be upset. I have learned a lot of new phrases and words that i didn't even know existed that have just rolled off of someone's tongue without even thinking of who's in the room, so i know racist when i hear racist and i am going to have to say that i don't think it was meant to be that serious. I never hear anyone complain about Dave Chappelle, know that loser should be removed from the planet, he can take young jeezy with him so if you laugh at that a**hole, you are just as guilty as what you think Jay-Z "may or may not be"!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm getting off my soap-box and going to look and some VOLKS you guys rock!!!
