Rap artist Warren G said the following in an interview:

I ain’t against gay people. I’m just against it being promoted to kids. . .

I know people that’s gay. My wife’s got friends that are gay. I got family that’s gay. Cousins and shit. He cool as fuck. He cool as a motherfucker. He’s my homie. I just mean that on some of these TV shows, they got dudes kissing. And kids are watching that shit. We can’t have kids growing up with that. . . .but let’s keep it behind the scenes. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with it if that’s what two dudes wanna do. Cool. But that’s not bring that out into the world, where the kids can see that. We don’t want all the kids doing that. ‘Cause that ain’t how we was originally put here to do. Like I said, I ain’t got no problem with the gays.

What? Excuse me? Is this the same guy who spent a considerable amount of time rapping about "money 'n' bitches." Isn't this the same guy who got arrested last year for drug posession?

3. He uncool as a motherfucker

4. When we consider the demographics of the acceptance/intolerance to The Gay,...

... Black males clearly are on the not-so-tolerant end of the spectrum.

There is work to be done.

5. This homophobia circulates in African American culture

It is not a distinct product of "rap music." And many people are doing actual serious work trying to address it, rather than smacking a particular cultural form (rap) senselessly.

7. I thought he was dead.

Maybe I confused him with his career.

8. this is actually the most pro-homosexual lifestyle

statement I've ever seen come out of the hip-hop community. but that's not saying much.
