Rappers Q-Tip and Macklemore took a more physical approach with their reactions.
Noting a lack of “value for black life,” the rapper expressed his discontent online, but took his stance a step further. Hitting the streets of New York City, The Abstract led protesters in a chant of “Whose streets? Our streets” Also taking to Twitter was Macklemore. Bashing the Ferguson decision as one that “protects white supremacy,” the Seattle-bred rapper turned words into action as well. He hit the streets of his city to join protesters. (VIBE)
Posting pics on instagram is helping? How about using your celebrity to speak to the politicians to possibly minimize the white on black violence? How about taking time out of your schedule to get the President to do SOMETHING about these countless murders for no reason all over the U.S.? Let another country or continent bomb us, we killing everything in sight. Celebrities just do this to make it seem like they’re involved. Next week it’ll be like nothing happened and they’ll go on about their life.
