Hannity: If You’re Gonna Ban the Confederate Flag, Why Not Rap Music?

06.25.2015 | News | Alicia Powe |

Sean Hannity, on his radio show Wednesday, questioned why retailers such as Amazon and Ebay would discontinue sales of Confederate flag memorabilia, yet continue to sell explicit rap music that contains the N-word .

“I have a question: can you still buy a Jay-Z CD at Walmart? Does the music department at Sears have any Ludacris albums? Can I download 50 Cent on Amazon? Can I do that? Can I get some Snoop Dogg albums on eBay?” he asked after discussing stores that will no longer sell Confederate flags.

“Why do I say that?” Hannity continued. “Because a lot of the music by those artists are chock-full of the ‘N word,’ and the ‘B-word,’ and the ‘H-word,’ and racist, misogynist, sexist, anti-woman slurs none of those retail executives would be caught dead using.”

He also mentioned that President Obama has invited artists like Jay-Z and Beyonce to the White House.

“So, if it’s okay for Obama’s teenage daughters and people to go into these stores and buy music chock-full of the N-word, the B-word, well maybe we should consider banning that too,” he said. “We’re in the process of banning everything. Just a thought.”
