Rapper PSY is under fire for comments about America. Conservatives screaming over President Barack Obama attending an event with PSY as a featured performer. |
When the rapper burst onto the scene this year, everyone was dancing and moving to the Korean rapper's smash single. It's pulled nearly a billion YouTube views and the rapper is looking forward to release his first American album in the coming year. The PSY 6 EP was released this summer.
PSY is best known for his humorous videos and stage performances, and for his international hit single "Gangnam Style", which became an Internet meme due to its popular promo video. He has appeared on numerous television programs, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Extra, Good Sunday: X-Man, The Golden Fishery, The Today Show, Saturday Night Live, Sunrise, and The X Factor Australia.
Conservatives believe this Obama photoshop isn't anti-American? |
According to It turns out PSY has been involved in several anti-American protest performances. According to Mediaite.com he smashed a model U.S. tank while onstage in 2002 to oppose 37,000 U.S. troops that descended on the Korean Peninsula.
A few years later, PSY cursed Americans after a South Korean missionary was executed. His song “Dear American” sets the record straight.
“Kill those f***ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives/Kill those f***ing Yankees who ordered them to torture/Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers/Kill them all slowly and painfully,” he raps.
The rapper is a performer at the White House and the conservative media is already livid about his appearance.
The rapper issued an apology from his manager and publicist.
As a proud South Korean who was educated in the United States and lived there for a very significant part of my life, I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world. The song in question — from eight years ago — was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two innocent Korean civilians that was part of the overall antiwar sentiment shared by others around the world at that time. While I'm grateful for the freedom to express one's self I've learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I'm deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused anyone by those words. I have been honored to perform in front of American soldiers in recent months — including an appearance on the Jay Leno show specifically for them — and I hope they and all Americans can accept my apology. While it's important we express our opinions, I deeply regret the inflammatory and inappropriate language I used to do so. In my music I try to give people a release, a reason to smile. I have learned that though music, our universal language we can all come together as a culture of humanity and I hope that you will accept my apology.
Now c'mon.
Here's an example of what race baiting looks like. Tonight's posting from The Drudge Report is a prime example of race-baiting and über-patriotism. The website attracts conservatives and White supremacists to its pages. The founder Matt Drudge is a reclusive internet blogger who gets tipped off by someone on the latest gossip and controversies that surrounds the media. PSY and later rapper Rick Ross comes to attention.
Here's a full screen grab of the website. All linked articles in ORANGE represent a story that would attract racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, anti-American and down right condescending language.

Conservatives and White supremacists are going to make a word salad with heaps of dressing Obama. In each statement, they'll at least be an attack on the president, the Black community or the Hispanic community.
Republicans and their conservative allies have the audacity to criticize the president because of a rapper's freedom of speech!
The very same people who allow emails be spread around calling the president a NIGGER.
The very same people who go around attacking the 47% of the nation who supports the president.
The very same people who would take this country to the bring of destruction because of their obsession to defeat President Barack Obama.
By the way, the gay conservative agitator managed to get a dig at Def Jam rapper Rick Ross by linking an article from The Smoking Gun.
William Roberts II, is known as Rick Ross (aka Tha Boss/Roozay/Maybach Untouchable) is sweating bullets literally. The rapper is feuding with Gangster Crip Disciples. This story will be explained later.
PSY appears under Universal Republic Music Group.
Rick Ross appears under Def Jam Records. His label is Maybach Music Group and it's licensed by Warner Music Group.
