Many Obama supporters (read: blacks) were shocked at the news that superstar rapper Big Boi, of multi-platinum rap group Outkast, did not vote for President Obama in the November elections.
“I voted for Gary Johnson,” the Grammy-award winning rapper told Alyona Minkovski on Huffpost Live Friday. Patton recounted how he had to set a woman straight who thought he voted his skin color instead of his conscience.
“Well, I was, you know, leaving to go out of town, and it was a lady — a Caucasian lady — and she was like, ‘Oh yeah, congratulations on y’all win last night’, you know, with like an attitude. And, you know, just to let her know I was on my P’s and Q’s, I was like, ‘I don’t know what you talkin’ bout, I voted for Gary Johnson’. And she looked shocked to even know that I knew there were other candidates on the ballot, you know what I’m saying? So, you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
The rapper whose real name is Antwan Andrew Patton said he voted Libertarian.
“Yes, I’m a Libertarian,” Patton admitted. “I’m liberty, justice for all, liberty for all. I’m really pro-people, pro-freedom, and, you know, this is all about positivity.”
I have a newfound respect for Mr. Patton. He went against the status quo — which a lot of rappers are afraid to do.
More from Sandrarose.com:

shole did….he probably couldn’t vote!
<— didn't vote for Gary or Obama. Just wanted my money to stay in my pocket. I lost and oh well, I'll live. That's what the middle class does; we work through all the political bullsh*t and let the rich and poor fight out the details.
so we judge artists based on their political views?

Thanks! I just want him to be at his best and it’s not all up to the teachers at school. The boy does need to learn to read, so why not start now?
@GAGIRL87 & @kingstonn Thanks!
i dont see why folks say they lost a fan because of who somebody voted for. if he read through all the policies and made an informed vote based on the info he had then so be it. im sure he didnt think he would win but if thats the best conscious decision he could make for him then its just that for HIM.

Thanks yall!! and
@Anna
Its a free country. He shouldnt vote based on color.
I mean…Vote for whoever you vote for, but I really don’t think he voted for Johnson for real. The quote reads:
““Well, I was, you know, leaving to go out of town, and it was a lady — a Caucasian lady — and she was like, ‘Oh yeah, congratulations on y’all win last night’, you know, with like an attitude. And, you know, just to let her know I was on my P’s and Q’s, I was like, ‘I don’t know what you talkin’ bout, I voted for Gary Johnson’.”
In the quote, he said “just to let her know he was on his Ps and Qs”, etc. I really feel like he just stated that to the woman to make a point to her; that he studied other presidential candidates before voting (Which is still a good thing). He might be a Libertarian, but he still may not have voted for dude. Either way, I’m still a fan. Althoooough, back in his Southern Playalistic days, one of them had this verse in Get up, Get Out, and Get Something…
==> “Y’all tellin me that I need to get out and vote, huh. Why?
Ain’t nobody black runnin but crackers, so, why I got to register?”
Middle finger to the govt.. obama and all his cronies..
REALLY? Some of yall clowning Big but yet you still support Sandra who made several derogatory comments to Mr. PRESIDENT over the last few months? wow….
