Big Boi (Outkast) Speaks On Not Voting For Obama

In a recent interview, Big Boi, One half of Outkast spoke on not voting for Barack Obama in his re-election last year. One would think as a black man in America, he would be 100% behind Obama, but he definitely has his own beliefs and is not swayed by the crowd’s judgements.

Read what he had to say about this below-

“Well, I was, you know, leaving to go out of town, and it was a lady- a Caucasian lady- and she was like ‘oh yeah, congratulations on y’all win last night,’ You know, with like an attitude. And, you know, just to let her know I was on my P’s and Q’s I was like, ‘I voted for Gary Johnson.’ And she looked shocked to even know I knew there were other candidates on the ballot, you know what I'm saying? So, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

The white lady played him for the stereotype black man that just went out to support Barack Obama cos he is black. I am not saying Obama is a bad person, or that he is necessarily a good person in all standards. I'm just saying people can’t just vote for a president to rule a multi-racial nation cos he  is from their own race...if you want racism to stop, then don’t be a racist yourself. But, if people voted cos they understood the political side of things, and they felt Obama was their guy, then that's great.

“Yes, i’m a Libertarian. I’m liberty, justice for all, liberty for all. I’m really pro-people, pro freedom, and you know, this is all about positivity. Like, you know, he’s (Obama’s) a nice guy , but, it’s just, you know, the things that they are standing on right now just didn’t agree with me. Anything that benefits the public and not just big banking, that’s what i am with.” (Huffin Post Live)

I’m sure a lot of people don’t even know that they were 4 other presidential candidates asides from Obama and Romney at the last presidential elections in the U.S. Jill Stein of the Green Party: Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party: Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party, and Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party.
