Oh God The Stupid Shit People Come UP With

RAPPERS, do promote and carry violence. ITS their pestilence. GORILLAS!!!! get you on dubs… get a gold chain… pop a cap…

To me it seems like it becomes the audiences fault when they can’t distinguish the difference between fictional entertainment and reality.

real persuasive Almon… evoke the Klan, that always works. Last time I checked Canadian border patrol has yet to be convicted of a single lynching. I don’t even think canadian border guards carry guns yet, so that might explain their aversion to those who glorify murder and violence. But I’m sure this can all be resolved over a nice hot order of poutine, eh!

this has nothing to do with race, it’s all about maintaining Canadian content qoutas.

Not only should 50 Cent be barred from entering Canada, but he should be deported from the USA also. His message is absolutely horrifying. Gun violence? Martin Luther King is rolling in his grave right now.

Almon needs to wake up and realize that the mainstream hip hop is exactly what the public views it as, a bunch of thugs with gold teef.
The music is garbage. Screw Almon for accusing Canada for what is actually an amazing country with many beauties within

Profiling can be justified. Boarder patrol will question a Hell’s Angels. Why not a criminal gang member like 50 Cent? How the fuck can you accuse Canada of racism because it enforces the law? Dumbass.

Rappers talk about “being real.” So when they rap about drugs, guns, gangs, sex, and thug life, all themes consistent in mainstream hip-hop, they get upset about being treated they way they preach. Really keeping it real now, huh? Because true thugs call their lawyers? What a bunch of pussies. This goes to show you just how fake and fabricated rap is today, and has been for quite some time. When rap first started, it was done with strong controversy but also letting you know and understand their message. Now it’s a freak show. Keeping it real? Whatever.

what a bunch of idiot’s, they think everyone owe’s them something. It’s not a black thing, being a rap artist is a job, if I was to act and speak like they do at my job I would be fired. They should be lucky that we let them live here. Just look at Philadelphia, it used to be a city of pride, now it is over run with rap artist wannabees totting guns thinking they’re cool and “REAL”, but the people they idolize aren’t on the street, they’re in malibu with their Bently’s. Go Canada, they don’t have to lower their standards just because we did. Kick em out, or wait until they kill each other, which ever comes first!

Well what do these idiots expect when they rap about being criminals. Snoop Dogg admits to being a pimp, just about everyone says they deal crack, they talk about popping caps in asses, I wouldnt want them in my country either. Canada is lucky they can keep them out.

IDK
IDC

completely agree with you all. if a controversial public figure were to speak out and preach hate or violence as a way of life, he or she would be stopped at any international border with probably a tonne of questions to answer. why should rappers be spared the same treatment? if they’re gonna rap about killing their moms or dumping their dead wife’s body into a car trunk…i’d ask him a few questions before he stepped one foot into my yard too.

the illuminati actually wants a race war once again, but don’t give it to them because they benefit from our division…it’s time to cut off their benefits; have the trial and tell us what happens when the verdict is in, please…

Are the hip hop thugs disappointed that Canadians have decided to discourage their anthem of murder, dealing crack, treating women like dogs and packing heat? Are they going to try to force this cultural cancer on a nation governed by honorable citizens? Are they disappointed that Canada rejects their ghetto fabolous way of being? This is a culture that is trying to market designer bullet-proof vests, malt liquor and and childrens’ games which reward you for doing drive by’s. Hip hop status is measured by the diameter of your bling and scuffing sneakers can be a capital offense. I am SO surprised Canada is not interested in this cultural crap. I hope the U.S. wakes up and chooses to stop ennobling these “celebrities.” Anybody who jumpstarted their career by selling crack should be deported.

(Canada, Are You A Brick House?)

This Canadian Invasion sounds a lot like George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq, where we’ve gone to force democracy in a nation that doesn’t want it. Should we be there? Both involve gunfire and special interests disguised as cultural enrichment and spreading a way of life. Should it be forced, or if it’s good enough- should people seek it on their own?

I loved Run DMC,The Beasties but I hate thug rap.Idiot dudes rappin bout their wieners, guns and bling.They make me fuckin sick man.

You know, isolating 50 Cent and Condoleezza Rice — probably the two most peripheral people in this lawsuit — in order to get web traffic is bad enough on its own. But in your process of cutting-and-pasting, you end up obfuscating the much more interesting truth that 50 is a big fan of President Bush (even calling him a “gangsta”) and probably supports Rice as well. Does the truth matter, seriously? If not, maybe “the media” is as bad as everyone tells us.

MURDERCAP RECORDS, this guy asks why he gets stopped?? Well he has proved there is no difference between white and black people. Both can be very dumb. HEY IDIOT LOOK AT YOUR RECORD COMPANY NAME.

Oddly enough, even if it were true, the $900 million claim in damages is ludicrous (pun intended) enough to suggest that, like hip hop itself, the lawsuit is, at its core, merely an attempt to grub more money. Somebody’s crying “foul,” not because of injustice, but because there might be money to be made.

It’s about time Canada started to stand up to American “cultural” stupidity. If I released an album that talked about bombing buildings in America and distributed it to a mass audience would America let me in if they recognized me?? I highly doubt it. Would I have the right to file a lawsuit in a normal, responsible society? No!
The beauty of Canadian customs is that they have the right to refuse entry to any non-Canadian especially those with any sort of criminal records. Give your head a shake!!!!!

More proof that 50 Cent is all muscles and no balls. Sorry 50 but if being rich and famous already proves you arent “down” and from the streets anymore, than calling your lawyers up to slap Canada with a lawsuit is the latest evidence. If you want to be viewed as a street thug than be prepared to be treated like one. Who cares about this talentless monkey anyways?

It’s not about racial profiling at all. The Canadian hip hop community is almost entirely black and is a vibrant scene made up of individuals who attempt to push the envelope artistically rather than waste time bragging about how much bling they have and threatening to shoot each other. No one here wants to waste their time and money here going to see 50 Cent, plain and simple. Also, I’ve seen groups like Jurassic 5 and The Roots come up here and put on great shows many times without any hassle at the border. I guess it’s only violent pricks like Fiddy that get stopped at the border (naturally.)

I mean, the asshole walks around in a bulletproof vest! What does he expect?

Well it must have worked. I had never heard of murdercap records until I read this article. Being from Canada I must not have heard of this label since all their artists, of which there must be many, have been detained at the border. But if all the facts hold true I hope that justice is served because I would hate to find out that people are being questioned at the border. Well maybe as a goodwill gesture Mr. Murdercap (Almon) should give the border officers copies of his newest artists CD because then maybe they could get a better understanding of what it is like to be a pimp just trying to make it in this crazy rap game and not bring your weapon or ho’s (not the garden variety) across the border. Seems like the border guards pimp hands were a little too strong on this one. Way strong in fact.

So, where all da PRO thug-life-bust-a-cap-in-yo-ass gangsta wanna-be’s be at ??

I live in Canada and Snoop Dog and Ice Cube performed at Save On Foods Arena in my home town of Victoria, BC just this weekend. I don’t think they had any problems entering the country.

I’m pretty sure that most rappers use their given name so the border folk won’t know who they are.

If there is anything that should be barred from entering it’d be any of those white supremist, anti semetic hate bands.

I am from Canada my self and I am trying my best to understand this. I do not believe Canada is profiling based on race or on the genre of music. I believe the controversy is based on the reflected problems within major cities in Canada. Officials have stopped many thing dealing with gun, outward violence, and gang related promotion. It’s not right to bar someone becuase of there expression, but in situation of desperation, like the major cities of Canada, the border feels that it is neccessary. I am not saying I agree with it, but I do see why it is happening.

I am a hip hop fan and a black women. If racist comments were made, than I am deeply saddened, but otherwise, I disagree.

Crazy American Black people seem to be a small group from the amount of americans i’ve met. Yet they seem to get the majority of the headlines. Oh well, who knew Rolling Stone actually pay writers to write about this kinda crap.

Does this mean that all the metal bands who are refused entry to Canada can sue now? How many tours in Vancouver are missing a few bands on a regular basis because the border guards won’t let them in!!

MURDERCAP Records…..end of discussion

Who ever said that Fitty Cent had a RIGHT to just go wherever he wanted and stir up shit, whine that he’s being racially profiled, and rap about violence and misogyny?

Bad ass street rapper with his bling bling army of lawyers that he uses for a crutch when his bullshit finally catches up to him. He is so full of shit I’m surprised he hasn’t compared himself to Jesus Christ yet. Or maybe he has, I’m not foolish enough to listen to his garbage.

Canada is a sovereign nation and we have our own rules about who we let in the country, just like the United States. Why is it that a lot of stupid Americans like Fitty Cent can’t see that? Oh yeah, because most Americans can’t take it when they learn that other countries have rules and that they have to follow them.

Fitty Cent is “profiled” because he is an actual threat with his violent beliefs, lifestyle and music. So are most of the rappers in the record company involved in the lawsuit. This isn’t about profiling all rappers or profiling all black people. This is about some rappers and some people who happen to be black, but it could easily be about white people whose behaviour, beliefs and lifestyle make them violent threats. And at the border, it often is.

Fitty cent can’t see that he should change as a person if he ever wants to be seen as a legitimate rapper and not a violent, evil-spirited, bling-bling-obsessed thug.

I’m going to see Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube in my home town of Lethbridge on Saturday. I never hear them complain about this kind of stuff. Maybe because they’re good people, who occasionally fuck up, but aren’t dangerous threats to people’s lives. Maybe that’s why they can get into the country and Fitty can’t? Has ANYONE brought that up?

Bad ass street rapper turns into a litigating chickenshit when a country actually has the guts to say “no” to his gangsta thug bullshit.

Who ever said that Fitty Cent had a RIGHT to just go wherever he wanted and stir up shit, whine that he’s being racially profiled, and rap about violence and misogyny? No performer has a right to do that.

Boy, he’s taking it real hard that other countries have laws and guidelines about who enters and who doesn’t. He is a typical Ugly American.

You run a label called Murdercap. You work in an industry where people are driving cars under the influence, stealing cars when they’re rich, getting shot mulitple times, have a criminal rap sheet as long as the Subway menu, and you refer to all women as bitches or ho’s. I DO NOT want you in my country. You will not bring anything positive here, you will not help our economy, you will not provide positive influence or role models for our kids, you will not help in any way shape or form, the progress of art and music. Canada is a multi-race country, that has legalized same-sex marriage unlike most states in your country. We have very low counts of racial hate crimes. Even fewer homicides involving race difference. To say that Canada is a racist haven is utter bull. If you take a look at some of the statistics in the USA, they’re horrible in comparison. (This doesn’t mean I dislike you American folk. Most of you guys are pretty good. I just don’t like the few ignorant ones.) I say, if you’re bringing that sort of thing into this beautiful country, you should be deported immediatly. If the roles were reversed, I would completely understand, and support the country trying to protect it’s way of life, it’s honour and dignity, and most importantly, it’s citizens. Get out of my country, Fiddy. We don’t want you’re hate propaganda here.

A Rap Intelligence Unit? My God, if only that were true. How great would it be to read those files?

Maybe the reason 50 is sooo upset Canada wont let him in is that he thinks the maple leaf on their flag is actually a marijuanna leaf and he just wants to blaze yo. I cant believe our judicial system is even going to waste time with this. SAD SAD SAD

If you promote violence, misogyny, and drugs as a lifestyle; have a criminal record; and carry restricted weapons, you’re not going to get into the country (nor are you welcome).
Gangsta rappers are a bunch of nimrods (it’s all about the image; it doesn’t matter if it’s wrong or negative) who incredulously can’t understand why they receive so much criticism for said lifestyle.

We Canadians Racially Profile? Canada was the last stop of the underground railway!

On behalf of the 98% of Americans who live decently, love their country faults and all and believe marijuana should be legal, I apologize to Canada.

May I suggest that if we were bordered against Lithuania that Murdercap and Almon would be suing them as well? This is about one thing, publicity for their “art” and company (same thing).

Hey Almon, please explain to me and the rest of the world how promoting violence, misogyny (it means the dislike or mistrust or hatred of women), weapon abuse, greed for greed’s sake and hard drugs makes the world better. You teach those around you to hate and than wonder why you are not welcome (when you really are, after all what you do makes money). Try to explain it by avoiding reasons like “you don’t understand my life” or “It’s a Black thing”. We all know, and I mean black and white, that it is really about money.

Here is an even better idea. Use all the money you make to buy buildings in the depressed areas of Detroit (or any American city you choose), turn those buildings into co-ops, supermarkets, toy stores or even schools and help those you profess to represent. House them, help them feed themselves, help them learn so they don’t have to flip burgers when they are 28.

As important as you are, and you really are, after all we are talking about you now and not the incredible number of great Black Americans who have no problems in our society because they go to school, work hard and try to show a good example for their children, I sincerely doubt Ms. Rice is targeting you. She is to busy singing Wubba’s tune to hear your unmelodic, masturbatory bile. It just figures, a Black woman rises to the height of success and you have to treat her like dirt.

Crazy how rapping about murders,how “shit is real”, and that yer a thug can negatively affect the perception of you in’nit?

It just goes to show you how FAR from reality most rappers live. where is the disconnect from basing yer whole image on murder, theft and violence to being perceived as a criminal? I wouldnt want anyone who rapped about those things in my house either, doesnt matter what race they are…

Well, the majority opinion seems plain to all, and I agree.

The next sensible thing to do is what we can – never buy an album from any artist named in the suit.

And, as most of us on this board seem to have a level of intelligence that already makes this so, any time we see a friend with one of these albums we should shame them into cracking it in half and throwing it away.

Eventually, when 50s fan base is literally only 12-16 year olds he’ll get caught for trying to get his freak on with a minor and it’ll be the last we’ll hear from him.

Really, this is the only sensible thing. All in favor? Say, Give Me a Whole Dollar, not 50 Cents!

Its not racial profiling, i do believe eminem is white, or at least he used to be, i dont really know anymore.

Here in Canada, it’s not racial profiling (come on in, Roots and Jurassic 5 and Outkast), it’s quality music profiling (we haven’t let motley crue in the country for years, and we’re planning on barring the next American Idol arena tour).
We’ve even gone on the offensive. After the boy band invasion of 1999-2001, we sent spies into the U.S. to break up the Backstreet Boys and N’Sync (for the latter, we promised Timberlake a solo career if he shut the group down). Britney Spears is a wanted criminal in Canada.

canada has a legal policy against admitting convicted felons, especially those with weapons related felonies, into the country – even for very short stays. this has less to do with race than with rap sheets.

Why would anyone want to go to Canada in the first place. Canadians smell like stinky French skunks and their women are beasts.

C-KGB = canadian killer greeen bud

It’s kind of funny- I mean Toronto is the most ethnically diverse city in world. We just don’t want the dregs of american culture in our country, you americans should kick him out too.

I’m at all not surprised!!! I’ve seen mentioned recently of a Ice Cube/Snoop Dogg tour accross Canada and somehow ’cause of their grandfather statuses I feel very safe!

He is the CEO of a record company called Murdercap Records, what the fuck did he really expect. honestly, im shocked they even let him in

Its not rappers Canada has a problem with, its criminals. As far as the protection of terrorists versus letting 50 cent into the country, perhaps if the US actually produced evidence these “terrorists” are indeed what they say, rather then giving them a lifetime vacation in Cuba without a fair trial, which by the way the rappers in question had- and lost, then Canada would be more open to welcoming rappers and extraditing terrorists. If rappers don’t want to be inspected at the boarder and treated like criminals then perhaps they should stop acting, talking, rapping, and fronting like criminals. If all you talk about is guns, drugs, and murder, then is it not the responsiblity of the boarder agents to investigate? the excuse that its all an act (rappers behaviour) is unacceptable given the repeated occasions in which they are directly or indirectly involved in criminal acts across the fine nation of the US and A. The flip side of boarder security is Mexico, which by the way is where the next terrorists will actually get into America from- perhaps Canada should emulate your southern boarder security methods.

rap and/or hip hop folks are doing the same basic sex, drugs & rock n roll thing all the hair/metal bands were doing back in the 1980s, and just like back then; the guns (GNR) ended the party and scattered everybody with their appetite for destruction…

the moral to the story is don’t mess with bad voodoo, it can come back and bite you in the butt…

‘abondonedstation’ – Quality stuff.

One glaring omission from this report is whether or not Almon has a criminal record. It’s easy to suppose he’d have a tougher time crossing the border if he did.

This quote is hysterical:
According to Almon, “the State Department hypocritically touts rap as the great American ambassador on its official web site, while selling out its top artists to a foreign government.”

As an African American, and frequent visitor to Toronto, I think my perspective of this particular issue may be unique. Yes, I feel like I have been profiled entering Canada and the U.S. I think the problem here is more about perception than reality. None of us want to admit it, but certain suit and tie types no matter what nationality are afraid of hip hop culture. Yes there are some “thugs” in hip-hop, but I think thuggery takes a backseat to the financial realities. Most artist make their bucks touring, so it’s no in their best interest to not be well behaved abroad, is this happening in Europe? No. Canadians and Torontonians in particular are eager to blame their violent crime problem on the U.S., but there’s no basis to this claim. Toronto is a big city with big city problems, deal with it. In fact statically speaking over the last ten years crime is down in America, and up 50% in Canada. I guess if all else fails, blame the black dudes. I think the lawsuit is absolutely frivolous, but it’s saying something we don’t want to here. Racism in Canada? Yes there is racism everywhere, ask the members of the first nations of Canada and see what they say.

Yo G, the people of toronto do not blame america for the problems of violent crimes. And some First Nations people are incredibly racist, like that anti-semite David Ahenikew, who admires Hitler. You are not offering a unique perspective at all. 50 and the like have an incredible sense of entitlement, and its about time someone with real authority showed these nutbars who is really boss. Canadians can’t enter american borders if they have a record, so why should Americans. But we probably should have shipped Fiddy off to Syria for having links to terrorism.

Making money preaching violence is shameful. One contributes nothing to society; rather it is a contribution to the destruction of it. Canadians aren’t racist: calling them racist is ignorant. Toronto is the most diverse city in the world. There is no way to call them racist- because they are the true world society. Look up the word “IRONY,” and read it aloud a few times. One would have to ignore the fact that these people are trying to protect their society from the teaching of violence. This may be the closest thing to a world concensus we can get in the early 21st century. All of you THUGS pretending to be artists, take this to heart. If you add nothing positive to society, and society doesn’t want you, don’t sue society, either change or just go away. Go spend time in Haiti to reflect upon what you have. They don’t worry about alleged racism. They worry about death squads and starvation. YOU SPREAD HATE. Think about it. You represent yourself as MURDERCAP. Murder is bad. People don’t want it. You are cancer to society.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROFITING FROM TURNING KIDS ON TO DOING DRIVE BY’S AND GETTING RICH ANY WAY POSSIBLE- AND TEACHING KIDS TO KILL BY MAKING BOMBS?

NIGGA PLEASE.

If I wore a klan outfit and took a dump in yo mamma’s brunos, you’d probably get pissed. If I claimed you wuz racist for not respecting me, you’d think I was an even bigger idiot. If I sued you because you had higher standards than I do, then I’d be a real JAMF.

If you learn how to behave like a human being, you’d probably get treated like one. Race is irrelevant – behavior matters.

Stop blaming others for not accepting your primitivism.

If you make a living spreading words that incite violence and instill terror into innocent people–

–You might be a terrorist.

the worst part is, that the lawyers are going to get richer

Rappers will be too cold in Canada.

This bisexual hip hop artist has a flawed story they don’t mention this mans criminal arrest record or other offences brought against him. Maybe this is why he was stopped at the Canadian Border. The artists that he mentions some were ex-drug dealers and have criminal records of course you would be stopped at the border and to try and profit some how by bringing in the whitehouse, man what a dangerous move. Quite frankly Rice will squash him like a pea!

He will not get 900million man it still needs to go through the courts and that could take months and in the meantime they will pull up dirt on him.

Im a black woman from the US and my husband and I have never experience racial profiling ever nor have our friends and we know a black rap star from the US and he has never experienced this either. So the question needs to be asked is this just some angry black ghetto trying to rinse off the system. Why does not he have any support from anyone one has to ask this question?

Also Canada has the right to stop and refuse you like any other country if there is due course and maybe with the name of your record label, you acting like a gangster and with music that promotes violence towards women is just cause and it seems by the last comment that you have some sort of criminal record! MMM and now you are asking for 900million from Canada for what reason???

I’m from Canada and I’m as black as you can get. Almon is a fool, I guess he doesn’t realize that a Black women holds the highest post in Canada and that the standard of living in Canada for blacks is 83% higher than USA and yes, we do have our own Canadian hip-hop culture, dedicated TV and radio stations

smoke more marijuana

Almon comes from the ghetto and you can never take the ghetto out of a person even if they go and study to the highest degree. The average educated person in Canada will laugh at this insane case. And the average Black person in Canada will feel very embarrassed for some dumbass black n..gger trying to drag us through the dirt. He must have some serious issues singing about how much he hates black women. Does that mean he hates his mother and sisters?

This man has to have some criminal record or offence brought towards him at some point for the border to look more closely at him, so he should be profiled and not let in to OUR COUNTRY!

i happen to work at the border in canada… and this is a ridiculous claim.

So Jeorme Almon is gay huh….well he can be whatever he wants I have nothing against gay guys like Almon but man ya trying to snitch on everyone to gain free press for your indie label the press going to turn on you! You can take your black gay ghetto arse right back to detroit Almon we do not want you here unless you decide to donate some of your money to black gay organisations now that would be doing some good!

I read in an article that Jerome Almon would not expect racism from Canada but would expect it from North Korea and Iran.

How dare you bring Asians into it. That is a racist dig at the Asian Culture. I bet he some gay guy in the closet that goes around calling gay people fags and would be the first to beat them up!! This man needs to be kept out of EVERY COUNTRY!

From one individual thinking that this article was about 50 Cent suing for the Canadian government for $500M to the others mentioning Almon’s criminal record, which he does NOT have (and can be attested to by the numerous police clearances that he has submitted along with MI senator Carl Levin) not to mention the numerous spelling and grammatical errors, the peons posting here are far too generous, they give away their ignorance with each and every post I’ve read on this discussion forum!

This rapper from Murdercap records may not have a criminal record but some sort of offence must have been brought against him and his label to be banned out of the country. His hate music was obviously not wanted in the country. His company has been condemned by the Parents Television Council, Canadian/US customs and so on. So M4rcu5 so before you try and standup and defend this person have a harder look into reasons why these sorts of people are banned out of countries. Black people of a certain background usually from the ghetto will try this because I am black attitude. Obviously Jerome Almon has some kind of deep personal issue. The average person travelling into Canada is not profiled. It also comes down to how you carry yourself and your attitude that makes you stand out in the crowd.

There seems to be no problem with Ontario’s government and his music when it comes to him and others pumping money into Ontario’s economy, right? Again, there is no legitimately justifiable reason why Mr. Almon should be either barred from entry or continually harassed in secondary inspections. The man has no criminal record. He has a legitimate business in Toronto, ON. He has contributed along with others to the Ontario economy. What other reason has this suddenly become an issue other than Toronto and the rest of southern Ontario’s urban problems?

Remember that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. What this amounts to is a malicious and systemic governmental campaign designed solely to malign Jerome Almon and use his medium as a scapegoat for Toronto’s problems. The underlying causes of urban problems among blacks is much deeper than hip-hop. Hip-hop is mistaken as a cause of problems rather than recognized as an effect of the problems. You may or may not agree with what the type of music that the man produces, however I will defend his right to do so to the death.

He might not have a record in the US but he could have one in Canada hence the barring and being banned from a country there has to be good reason. I’m sure the issues with this man are far deeper than what he is telling us all for him being banned from a Country!

LOL who are you M4rcu5 Jerome’s boyfriend? why would you want to go and defend some rapper’s right to the death…lol

No wonder Jerome and the rest said nothing for a long time.These are the reactions you get from racists who want to perpetuate racism and find it abhorrent that you would utter a word against it.In their tiny minds, you are a negro, you should accept it and shut up, but you are not going to. Go on Jerome, you’re obviously not alone.

Rice is always saving her ass , being sorrounded by white people that own her salary. I say go Jerome! And don’t quit on Canada with it’s stank hip hop scene full of nobodies getting nowhere and unsupported – until of course, they make it in the states.

After seeing these comments, I wonder WHO would venture into beefcake Canada when it is full of a purifed version of the kkk and other redneck farmers as is evident here? Jerome should take all his money OUT and let them come running, because tehy begged him to stay after the SARS outbreak and keep dishing money into their state. Leave chickenshit Canada. They got nowhere to go after we dump their business, which is about 80% of all their trade so yeah, we do have a strong voice with you, and you know it,that’s why you kiss our warm arse.heh heh.

Yes,they should sue too, only that they are broke because metal went out in the 80’s(even in beaver canada).

I couldn’t agree more with M4rcu5.
People who have never experienced any discrimination will be the first ones in line with wide-eyed comments and loud opinions on matters they know nothing about. “The earth is not round, the earth is flat!” Rendered by fools.

I went to Canada once, and I will never waste my time again. If we boycotted their trade, (80% of all their trade)They will not go anywhere. That’s why they kiss our ass. We may even need their oil one day.

wefwf

This idiot is suing a sovereign country. They can refuse entrance to anyone. This guy is a joke and a waste of space!!!!!

criminal record = you are f&*#’d, dickweed. being famous should not change this equation–get over it gangsta boy.

Okay guys I understand that everybody is extremely ignornant to the entire case that Jerome claimed against the Canadian Border. Id advise everyone to re-read the article and before anybody has a negative comment please do a little more research. I know Jerome personally and as you also have read he didnt just take them to court for the heck of it, he took other celebrities stories and backed his own story up with their eveidence. He won his $900 million and now will prosper and keep producing. He’s made a stand and will never have a problem again with crossing the Canadian border nor will anybody else. He has nothing against Canada. It had nothing to do with Canada and its population or entertainment industry. It was the guard officials who kept denying him and others. But again it wasnt personal it had everything to do with all the other performers who were african american.
Do you think for one minute if it was deeper and more personal with more people against Almod aside from the border do you think he would have won his case? Absolutely not.
Also to the people cutting down Canada as a country Id think twice about the country you live in. Ignorant and disrespectful people are the ones that make this world so corupt.

Unless you can back up your negative opinion then Id suggest you click that little x at the top right hand corner and not bother posting.

Be conscious of how you think, what you do and how you speak.

Do you chew with your mouth open? If you havent even thought about it, then Id start there.

Jerome Almon is a smart business man. In the next five years he will amount to one of the greatest music producers in urban rap history.

Epiphany.

He has a white mistress in canada…ashley almon
