Although Jay-Z is a hip hop artist, he did not perform at the barbeque. The writer of the article also didn’t take into account that people of other races attended the event also. To come out and classify Obama’s cookout as a “Hip Hop BBQ” is straight out racist. These comments and others made by the people that work at Fox News should not be tolerated.
