Well, I am making a judgment call on the "culture" they wish to export. And I am delighted that Jay-Z bragged in a rap about his special connection to Obama. Maybe he'll learn something from the backlash.
Money and politics, what can you do? Democrats get support from entertainers we might not all like. Republicans get support from groups like Bob Jones University where it was University policy for black students and white students not to date as recently as 2000 and only due to an onslaught of public pressure. I dont think its necessarily fair but I realize in order to win elections candidates need help from a wide range of groups and individuals often with whom they disagree on many issues and guilt by association thing happens but guess all sides and all groups are vulnerable.
FYI: prior to 2000 a pit stop at BJU was standard for every GOP presidential candidate. Imposing the same unfair standard some people use with respect to Obama and some of his supporters, that would mean Reagan, H W Bush, Dole, Gingrich and McCain must probably think its immoral for people of different ethnicities to be romantically attached.
