		<description>I can honestly and whole heartedly agreed with Nelly. I hate that alot of these women are blaming him for there bad or wrong upbringings. Now I am a black woman and I feel like they really need to lay off of him. Because like he said he doesnt have his beautiful sister Jackie anymore, and these woman that hated on him at the school could have helped him first &#38; then hated on him later.  Because at the end of it all she could have possibly found a donor match and still could be living till this day..But these same wack ass women are still walking and breathing and have once to even Apologize to him for being so damn selfish.  Nelly I appreciate you and I wasnt not once offended by the video...Nelly I love what you do baby!! And keep up the good work!!</description>

		<description>OMG  She is definitely a plant.  As a black women I'm totally ashamed of this nut.  R U Kidding ME?  I can only laugh and wonder how much the Republican Party paid her to make an absolute fool of herself.  I would love to sit one on one with her and just get into her mind a littlebit to make her think about how absurd she is.  When she looses her home I want her to think about McCain.  When she pumps her gas I want her to think about McCain. When her son or daughter goes off to Iraq over some oil and get's shot up I want her to think about voting for McCain.  Maybe she fell on the way to the convention and bumped her head!</description>

		<description>Kim check out Anon's comment. I dont think these places are as homophobic as the article makes them out to be. I've been to jamaica and I have never seen any gay bashing. it's an excellent vacationing spot, don't allow these articles to taint your image!</description>

		<description>Well, I know one thing.  I won't be vacationing in Jamaica, Barbados or any other country where there is so much homophobia, hatred and violence against gays and lesbians.  Come on!  It's 2008 for heaven's sake!  How can people still be so barbaric and ignorant!?

After reading this article,  I'm going to do all I can do to inform my gay and lesbian friends of the danger there is in these places and I'm sure they will also be taking their vacations elsewhere. Maybe when the word gets out to the gay community and tourism falls off considerably and these countries start to lose money, the government there will do more to protect gays and lesbians.

Believe me, the gay and lesbian community is large enough and wealthy enough to make a noticable difference in the tourist industry in Jamaica, Barbados, and other West Indian countries if they stop vacationing there.  And as a friend of the gay and lesbian community, I will make it one of my missions to inform them of these facts!!   You know what I wish?!  I wish somehow we could rid the world of all the Haters like Buju Banton and the others!

Damn them!!</description>

		<description>I agree with Nelly.  He made a choice to make that video.  was it disgusting? Yes.  Did it exploit the women in it....mmmm, that's obviously up for debate.  They chose to be a part of it. They chose their current occupations.  it's not exploitation when the participants are fully aware of what they are getting into..  The women in that video knew exactly what they were doing.  Go to a strip club in Atlanta and you see much worse.  Sad part is, those women were lined up.  As far as Nelly having a daughter: i am sure he is making sure that his little girl grows up to be a woman with far more self respect and dignity than to ever get involved in something like that. or allow it.  

So, now that we've established that Nelly didn't exploit anyone, let's talk about him trying to raise awareness about leukemia.  I think it was jacked up that Spelman with their 'our s**t don't stink, we're too good for that' attitude made such a big deal about that video and wouldn't let him do a good thing.  I bet half their husbands and boyfriends have received lap dances from the women in that video.  they just didn't want to know about it. As women, we do have to start taking responsibility for our own actions.  this is a case of wanting to put the blame where it shouldn't be.  First things first, let's look at the women that allow this activity in the strip clubs. the women need to take responsibility.</description>

		<description>Its like this, black women are not forced into getting into g-strings and prance around in videos.  Black women are "alledgedly" strong but when they are caught doing wrong they blame others besides themselves.  I am not a rap fan but I do understand its not black men who are forcing sistas to get up on stage or in videos.  The same shit Oprah pulled when she had some kind of rap summit and basically gave no fault to the women in videos but just the rappers and executives.   Hiphop and its glorification of "defaming" black women involved the labels, rappers, video girls and the consumers who buy the records.</description>

		<description>I heard what Nelly said and he may have had a point. People do good things for the community and that is appreciated. By no means does anyone take away from the good positive things you do for the community by addressing the distrubing things that you do.  That Tip Drill video had nothing to do with the fight for lukemia.

They are two TOTALLY different subjects! It bothers me that Nelly wants to be respondsible for doing his part to fight lukemia, but doesn't want to take respondsibility for doing his part to exploit women. He has a daughter and I know he wouldn't want anyone to exploit his child at any age. Those women are mothers, daughters, nieces, and aunts and possibly grandmothers. Just as hard as he helps to fight for those who have lukemia he should fight for those women who may not know there is another way besides stripping and exploiting themselves.

It's upsetting to see a grown man with a daughter not understanding how is his actions have an affect on ppl, and now it's their choose. Yes it's their choose, but we aren't talking about everyone else we are talking about your choices. You have a child and you wouldn't want it done to your child, so why do it to someone else. BOTTOM LINE!</description>
