Yaaaaay 4 John Legend! Well I guess Obama really has stirred somethin in us Americans anytime big name celebs are willing to express themselves on controversial issues lol....many are usually to worried about losing sponsors, losing fans or losing money, especially on something as testy as race relations. But while Spike Lee and Al Sharpton led a protest the other day in front of the NY Post, singer/songwriter John Legend has also written a letter to the NY Post expressing his concern about the controversial, arguably racist political cartoon featured in their papers just days ago....Go here to read the letter, and express your own opinions:

I'm so proud of him! And proud of us! Proud that we challenged this. The NY Post did offer a half-assed apology, an though it may not be what we were looking for, it is an apology nonetheless. And now maybe the NY Post will think twice about what is published. You can't be printin stuff like that! Our president is black! Or haven't they heard :-P
