I know this topic is old and done for now that the election is over, but it’s not shocking to me that Joe is unknowledgeable about the election process or voting in general. There are lots of black people, especially young black people that do not know and do not care about voting. What is shocking to me is that so many people are being judgemental about it. What good is it to beat people up for their lack of what we perceive to be a basic principle? All that does is to serve as a dividing point in our community. Yes everyone, especially black people, should want to become involved, but learning can be overwhelming if you don’t where to start. Or especially if you’re a celebrity like Joe who is surrounded by people that hang off your every word and never say no. If you’re famous and say something stupid your crew instead of informing you will probably laugh it off.

Think about what level our community might be at if we all chose to inform rather than ridicule those of us that do not know.

How can an African American man over the age of 18 NOT be registered to vote? Just shameful. I lost ALL respect for this grown azz man. Unbelievable. Did he say “when is the vote day”? Geesh…

Joe should be absolutely ashamed of himself! I hope he’s embarrassed! I hope he went home and sobbed for hours because he should know better! This is the most important election in HISTORY and he’s not even registered to vote?! Come on! As a celebrity, you are an example and this is just a poor example of what not to be. I do hope that all his record industry friends, look at him as taking one for the team and registered themselves, so when they are put on the spot, they can honestly say, yes, I’m register and yes I voted come November 4!

Now that he realizes how important it is to vote, maybe he can make a song overnight to get the rest of “the people”, just like him to rock the vote. Go, Obama!

Here’s an analogy for you. I decide not to run out and buy your new CD, because I assume your CD will “blow-up” on the basis of everyone else buying and supporting it. Or maybe I’ll just get the bootleg copy because everyone else will take care of your record sale numbers and I can get it cheaper.

How will that type of thinking affect your record sales or your next deal/contract?

It starts to make sense when it hits your pocketbook. Well, my pocketbook has been picked and mangled by 8 years of Bush administration.

Make a difference, get registered, cast your vote!!!

I am so disturbed by this! Joe should be ashamed of himself. I don’t think that his celebrity is a reason he should know about voting, I think the fact that he is over 30, black man is a reason he should know. Doesn’t he remember that there was no school on election day!

This kind of ignorance makes me sad for our people.
