His performance was edited out of the video on the white house's website.

Ding, Ding, Ding.

This is another example of the current administration lacking foresight. For the record, Common is about as docile as it gets when it comes to rappers. But to deny the fact that he has said very questionable things and shouldn't be endorsed by the president is simply ignorant. To have lyrics promoting the innocence of a convicted cop killer, who is a fugitive mind you, during national police week, is inexcusable. there is a reason why the administration has taken steps to mask his performance last night.

Wow, some of these people are making sweeping conclusions about a man's character and musical career based on a few lines. Making broad and sweeping conclusions about a person, a country, a political party, an ethnic group, political ideologies, economic systems and media outlets based on a tiny sample of those things has never ever happened on this board.

I'd even go a step further to say that someone who doesn't listen to rap would be justified in their fox-news-like assumptions of Common. 98% of what you hear coming from rappers is not only detrimental to society, but extremely ignorant. How would one expect Sean Hannity, a rich white man, to feel about a black rapper?

And for the record, Bill O'reilly hates Eminem with the power of 1,000 suns.

Indeed, but they only tend to exist in imperfect economic societies riddled with price controls and profit ceilings.
