It's OK, Fiddy ... You're in good company
Rapper 50 Cent hasn't made up his mind.
The story broke during last week’s waning news cycle that accomplished multi-platinum selling rapper and actor 50 Cent no longer takes a stance on who to support to be the Democratic frontrunner and next president of the United States. If Curtis Jackson can’t even decide who to put his weight behind, I don’t feel so bad that I’m still listening, too.
Early in February, Fiddy declared his endorsement of Sen. Hillary Clinton for President because he thought she’d “do a good job,” stirring up some controversy by frankly sharing that he didn’t think America was ready to have a black President. But after hearing Obama's speech on race in present day America given on March 18, 50 felt in Obama that “just-got-done-watching ‘Malcolm X,’ ” feeling and decided to support Obama “to the end.” On that day, Obama touched 50 and Bill Richardson alike.

But now 50 Cent, like many Democrats, finds himself undecided between the two Dem frontrunners. He takes his place among other uncommitted heavy hitters who have abstained from taking sides at this point like Gore, Carter, Edwards, Pelosi and Reid and all Democrats who — last I heard — were split 45/45 in the latest poll. What I like about Fiddy that differs from the superdelegates (whom I think secretly are reveling in their few months of fame) is that he takes a very Socratic approach by simply stating, “Don’t look for my vote, for me to determine nothing on that. Just say, ‘50 Cent, he don’t know, so don’t ask Fiddy.’ ”
So I’ll take him up on that advice and admire that he knows he doesn’t know. After all, I believe this is the true mark of a man. But why did we care in the first place? I’m not entirely sure … because it was on Drudge?
