Lennox Yearwood is many things -- most of them cowardly. But what's really hilarious about Lenny, besides his pretense of being one of the young 'uns, is his pretense that he and his ridiculous organization "Hip Hop Caucus" are "non-partisan."
But as chatty as his wide, Lenny felt the need to expound upon the topic of Common and, in doing so, explained who they registered for the 2008 election: "During Hip Hop Caucus-led voter registration drives in 2008 and 2010, we registered thousands of urban young people in cities across the country. These young adults of color weren't registering for the first time simply because of Barack Obama's skin color; there wasn't a large turnout for Al Sharpton, or Alan Keyes, or Carol Moseley Braun. They filled out their registration forms with excitement, and voted with tears in their eyes. They didn't simply vote to elect America’s first African-American President. Those young people voted because they witnessed so much struggle and regression over the past eight years; they took an active role in their lives and ushered in something better. Rappers like Common opened their eyes through conscious lyrics, and motivated them to take political initiative."
Lenny, you were born a whore and you will die whore. There's not an honest bone in your body. Thanks for confessing to what we'd long pointed out about your organization: It's a Democratic Party front operation, not a non-partisan one.
In a week that saw many confessions (here and here), your unintentional one still managed to stand out. Well whored, Lenny, well whored.
