"I realize that having a presidential candidate that has reached this level of the game is new to us as well as historic and amazing in a country that has been overall closed minded at such an idea! Really, I understand the excitement and I too feel it and support Mr.Obama but people, my people, at some point we have to realize that there is a time and a place for everything and Bernie Mack at a political campaign where a Jerry Seinfeld may have been a more acceptable source of entertainment was not a good look for this event!"---BLACKTHELION
In CHICAGO (July 12)
- Comedian Bernie Mac endured some heckling and a campaign rebuke
during a surprise appearance Friday night at a fundraiser for
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Toward the end of a 10-minute
standup routine at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago, the
50-year-old star of "The Bernie Mac Show" joked about menopause, sexual
infidelity and promiscuity, and used occasional crude language.
"My
little nephew came to me and he said, 'Uncle, what's the difference
between a hypothetical question and a realistic question?'" Mac said.
"I said, I don't know, but I said, 'Go upstairs and ask your mother if
she'd make love to the mailman for $50,000.'"
As the joke
continued, the punchline evoked an angry response from at least one
person in the audience, who said it was offensive to women.
"It's not funny. Let's get Barack on," a man shouted from the crowd, which paid $2,300 each to support the Illinois senator.
About 15 minutes later, Obama tried to smooth things over with a joke of his own.
"We
can't afford to be divided by race. We can't afford to be divided by
region or by class and we can't afford to be divided by gender, which
by the way, that means, Bernie, you've got to clean up your act next
time," Obama said. "This is a family affair. By the way, I'm just
messing with you, man."
When its my turn to see God who will give tribute to me? Who'll read the obituary, drop flowers and wish me a peaceful journey?Will my soul rest among the best when they speak of the revolutionary?One day will the kids of the future read about me and you in the library? Tell them to label me a solutionary! Who will miss me when I am gone? I hope they temporarily mourn and move on.Who will listen to my words to get them through? Like, how I needed encouragement and I got that from you! Who will recognize the broken dialect of street fused intellect? And who will collect knowledge from what I do?I hope it's you! Will it be you who will dissect and connect to perfect what was tried and proven true? If this is true,can you say that I am a gift for uplift, and you thankfully praise the giver? Remember me in your thoughts and feelings,when you're alone and it's cold with nothing to hold as you shiver. Hear me say,"Love people and only quote what the realest deliver." What will you read about me in the obituary? I hope it say I was legendary! What stories told, truth unfold, rumors to behold, what lies devised and sold? How long will I live after my flesh returns to dust? What titles,labels and goals will they adjust as they clinch their fist and cuss? Whoever get to Heaven first just put in a word for all of us! If it storm and began to flood as you witness me dying. As the thunder leave my body and my soul wont stop crying. Bless those that loved me and forgive anyone who didn't! soldier on my friend, till the day we all see God sitting!
I
STILL CAN REMEMBER...hang talking, heat packing and catwalking with my
ghetto insurgents- hustler's pride, birdwatching, on money time, 15 and
in my second ride. golden grill, real chill till i spill my cup, i mean
till my body lean and the bloody scene says my enemy's lucked
up,corrupt heart, street smart,got book smart and got dangerous, blunt
skinned, born-again, blessing rappers that came to us, talented 10th,
time spent like money, mystery shopper, ideas turning like spinners
when i stand still, sharecropper, oh-no cropping shares for me, im
getting older, bolder than most know, when i come and go, i grow like a
share holder...trust me it's getting colder. Ice cream dream machine, I mean my method of fulfilling the dream that'll bring my bling.amped up like caffeine, lyrically Im gensing, I've been king. But not in this game of hip-hops, I closed two eyes and opened the third to introduce you to a cyclops.Im still verbal weed so I seed what'll feed your high stops. you dont feel like a fan of my brand then you can activate your high tops. I was once a dough boy in the chef hat, I baked in many pie shops. It is, was, what it will be...I am, then,but It's been me! I was born among the constellations, that's why all these aggravations, of course they was gonna try to trip me up, when I got a flow strong enough to sweep across nations. Im blackthelion, the lion is black and mysterious, holla back if you hearing this, cause i've roared in the dark, in the park, Im joe clark, but that shark made sure they never put me on they're hearing list.
