50 Cent Endorses Hillary Clinton, Fears A Black President Will Be Shot

On last night's "O'Reilly Factor" Bill O'Reilly played a clip of rapper 50 Cent endorsing Hillary Clinton during an in-car interview. As the British reporter in the clip thanks "Mr. Cent" for the ride, 50 adds,

"I'm not sure America's ready to have a black president. I think they might kill him."

Bill O'Reilly promptly called it a "pinhead comment."

No doubt a former drug dealer and enforcer like Fiddy Cent feels some real kinship with the Clintons!

Fiddy is not the only one who is affraid that Obama might be assasinated. People who think that America is now above any racial hatred are wrong. I believe that there are people right now plotting his death. I believe many people think that the White House is called that not because its painted that color. How sad for us! Just imagine if Obama took the Democratic nomination and was killed. G. Bush could declare Marshall Law and cancel the election and stay president until the war on terror is over. He could spin Obama's death as a terrorist attack. So I ask the Secret Service to take good care of Mr. Obama for America's sake.

Fiddy's perspective may be tainted by the fact that he's been shot nine times himself, but he's not the only one to have voiced concerns that the election of the first black President would be quickly followed by the assassination of the first black President. It should also be noted that his comment is not against the candidate, but against the country's ability to accept him. I think Fiddy is wrong in general, but you know there are militant racists out there ready to prove him right.

MAY I SUGGEST THAT HUFFPO NOT USE A PICTURE OF OBAMA ON THE POLITICS PAGE THAT HAS BEEN CROPPED TO FEATURE THE WORD "HANG"?

IT IS VERY OFFENSIVE, FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

As I said- if 43 can go to Pakistan and suffer no malady, I'm pretty sure Obama could suffer the same fate... or less. Or less reason?...

More rappers get shot than Presidents so he should worry about himself.

Actually, Fiddy Cent is an entertainer. He is entitled to his humanity and his political ideas, without being personally attacked. Attack his comments not him.

Please stop reporting on what Perez Hilton thinks. I don't think anyone cares. The more press he gets the more you (H-Post) feed into "the dumbing down of America".

Let me get this right. 50 cent, Perez Hilton, and Ann Coulter all endorce Hillary Clinton. Not this is just what I need to know. With these people supprting Hillary it is enough for me NOT to. All three of these people are reallo low on my list of people I would listen to. Good luck Hillary you will need it with this public support.
