The Masculinity Project: Barack & Curtis 10mins

Mr. 50 is not a bad person only that he is being jugded by what he does for a living,his dressing code and most heart-breaking thing is using his background to support their unreasonable doubts about him.He may have tattoos but that only says what an emotional man he is because people express their grief and cherish the memories of their loved ones in different ways which explains the tattoos of one of themisthe son's name.What he has been thru only makes him a better man from the day he was born.

I am so grateful to be alive to witness the victory of Mr. Obama. I know that this was truly ordained by the Almighty God to go down. This is showing how powerful the God that we serve is. Mr. President, I pray that you fulfill the prophecy that Marting Luther King saw over 30 years ago. I am proud that you did what God ordained you to do. You have change history forever. You gave hope to all people in this nation. May God keep you safe and continue to bless you and your family. I believed and knew tha you would win. I hope to meet you in person some day soon. I live in Albany NY. Please pay us a visit. Have a blessed day.

I really did find this video very interesting, in the sense that there are, in fact, very strong similarities regarding the manner in which these two very different figures exude their masculinity. Aggressiveness and strong will both come in to play in different degrees and are utilised to different extents. Yes, they are both black males, but they do what they do to achieve what they want to achieve. Barack, because of his background just does so in a more acceptable way...whereas 50 chooses a more common way to make his mark, in my eyes, not very wise...for a man with his power...he could have affected more positive change as well, but then again, his followers would not embrace a " graceful and classy gangsta"...their views are too restricted to understand what the educated man would!

i liike barack obama very much becouse of his ideas,courage,and confidance. i also like 50 cent becouse of his achievement. but i dont like mccain becouse of his critism especially agaainst obama. wake up americans, its time 4u to make change,its time to stop war,its time protect your economy, time to bounce back on track,time to stop borrowing money and giving it credit,and spending it in a way that is not benefitable to american people. time to welcome visitors,time to make change,time to vote for barack obama.

I think that Obama would be a better role model a president because he loves his country and he really wants to take black people out of the gutter and he wants to better what white people say about us and 50 cent on the other hand he's a little less care less about what he says on TV and in his music but he cant be that bad because he has a son and he tries to be a good father to his son and thats why he was fighting for custody for his son and if he didn't want custody of his son he wouldn't have wasted his time.

my thought is that Barrack and 50cent could be put in the same sentence because they are both from the same ethnicity but of a different life style. Barrack and 50cent are both men of power but this power that they have is displayed differently in life. 50cent may show his through fear but that is his way because of were he was born and raised on the other hand Barrack shows his through properness because of were he was born and raised

To recapitulate what i just saw. when i was looking at this video i saw a lot of different things that was said about 50 and Barack. i knew that they both is a successful black man. but Barack dresses in a suit and 50 is just strait up ghetto.

well from my point of view it was great that they compared 50 and obama because it gives a chance to see how much two people have in common........................................ thats from 2 different backgrounds they have lived two different life styles.So it good that they could of compared both of them.................................50 is successful because he has a very good rapping career and obama is a successful congress man who's running for president.......... see to different back grounds

Everyone would say 50 is a bad influence because of the songs, videos, and movies and Obama is great cause he book smart. They both black, rich, so are they treated differently. Why, because Obama don't influence the youths and 50 do. Why, because kids rather follow a guy who brags about getting shot nine times and is still alive.

Posted by Jeremy Matthews | Oct 20 2008 at 03:42 pm | report this comment

I think that just because their both black men doesn't mean that they have to be in the same category.50 cent is just trying to make his money and because he has to be a thug and what some people would consider a "gangster" because picture him as a buff guy doing anything else it wouldn't work. Barack is just trying to be a different type of black people. The way Barack is he is trying to have people view black people differently. He is trying to make a change but the view people already have is going to be very hard to change. the way you know he is not pretending is because he takes it very seriously. He is taking this into his home and putting it into his children's lives as well

I think that this video is very imformitive. It acullay shows that fifty cent is a really bad influence on the face of black people with all of his rapping, gangster additude, He looks so dangerous and stupid with his stupid clothes and all his other ghetto nonsense, while barack ombama is going out of his way to make a good image on the face of black people. He is making a timeless effort to run for president and his campagins are very smart and wise. If i were president, I would make fifty cent's actions illegal and ban the art of the rapping he does. all the stuff he wears and uses in his videos, BANNED! the world would be better off without it! barack is a way better infulence than stupid old fifty cent!

Posted by earl jackson | Oct 20 2008 at 03:41 pm | report this comment

I think that the message from this video is true. I agree with the fact that there is a little bit of 50 cent and Barack Obama in every man because on the weekend a man can put on a suit with a tie and go to work or spend time with their children and that makes them have Barack Obama in them but that man can also go to the club the next day and act like he's in a gang or he's a drug dealer.

i think 50 Cent is more real than Barrack Obama because 50 Cent grew up in the hood, so he kept his swagga but has more confidence. 50 also don't change for nothing. Barrack its appropriate because running for president.e has to probably change his own wardrobe and character.

I feel dat barack and 50 cent is there own person they dont have nothin in comment. They are different role models because 50 is about the streets and drugs and every body things he is a gangster and he really not but barack on the other hand is about helping people in there lives and trying 2 do some thing great with his life.

well i truley think that obama and 50 cent shouldnt be compared because first of all even if there both black men that doesnt give them a right to compare them they still proably came form two diffrent homes and where taught diffrently on how they should be held or how to make a living. thats why obama is running for president and 50 cent is just a rapper.

it is a lie to say that Obama is a gangster he is the hero to save America and the world, the fact of being black doesnt mean he cant. America needs one man to stop the economic desease, there is only one man who can do it, Barack Obama.

Maccain do not know what politics is, he thinks about war, security, in facti it is not wrong to think about security, everybody wants to feel secure, but in this exect moment, America, needs Obama, needs change, new era, peace, in other words, America needs a Baracak Obama.

During years Mccain has been in politics, he did not learn anything, he does not know anything about the economy, he knows abot war, threatinig other people.
