Maybach Music Group’s Meek Mill is the latest hip-hop artist to speak out on former NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal lying about her race.
Meek took to his Twitter page Thursday (June 18) to offer his thoughts on the situation.
New York rapper Talib Kweli has also offered his take on the situation.
“She took it to the next level. When you lie, when you’re saying your adopted brother is your son, when you’re suing Howard one year for saying you’re too White, then saying people hung nooses at your door the next year – that’s crossing the line. You’re not a friend or an ally to the movement. You’re an enemy.” (Rolling Stone)
Fellow Big Apple rapper Azealia Banks has joined in on the social media taunting.
Dolezal issued a public statement on Facebook Monday (June 15) with the big news of her resignation.
“It is with complete allegiance to the cause of racial and social justice and the NAACP that I step aside from the Presidency and pass the baton to my Vice President, Naima Quarles-Burnley. It is my hope that by securing a beautiful office for the organization in the heart of downtown, bringing the local branch into financial compliance, catalyzing committees to do strategic work in the five Game Changer issues, launching community forums, putting the membership on a fast climb, and helping many individuals find the legal, financial and practical support needed to fight race-based discrimination, I have positioned the Spokane NAACP to buttress this transition.” (Rachel Dolezal’s Facebook)
