Sharpton railed against rappers who have been "seduced" by Trump on MSNBC, Tuesday after several hip hop stars expressed solidarity with Trump over his arrest.
I don't always agree with Al Sharpton, but he's right. Man is so racist he paid for newspaper ads saying the Central Park Five should get the death penalty. Just saying it wasn't good enough, he had to pay to get that message out to a wider audience. That's next level hate. He'd throw these rappers under the bus in a heartbeat. Or pay someone else to do it.
Not only that, but even after they were exonerated Trump hasn't moved from that position. He would literally prefer to execute innocents over admitting he was wrong once.
Trump basically had a decade long temper tantrum because an uppity Black guy became president. Prior he just did TV and occasionally showed up to WWE. That's how racist he is.
Wasn't he outed by hos niece or something. Could be someone else, but I remember reading he was pretty casually dropping all the race slurs at the dinner table.
Dude is racist AF, it is not that hard to figure out just by the surnames he gives people.
They joined the Leopard's Eating Faces Party because they think having six zeroes in their bank account balance will magically erase their melanin and thus ensure their faces don't get eaten. Ask the Log Cabin Republicans how supporting that party has worked for them. Not at a GOP convention tho, since ya know, they're banned from them for being gay.
Why are black people supporting a man who had to be sued by the Justice Department to force him to rent to black people?
The lawsuit was based on evidence gathered by testers for the New York City Human Rights Division, which alleged that black people who went to Trump buildings were told there were no apartments available, while white people were offered units.
Maybe it has something to do with the guy that had a LOT of them locked up with his crime bill? The one that keeps over funding police when there has been public cry to defund them? The same way that the rust belt remembered who helped give their jobs away with trade deals.
In all fairness, both Keef and Pump are famously dipshits. They're both literally high school dropouts.
While Keef especially can definitely pop out bangers, he's not exactly a person anyone comes to for anything intelligent.
Kanye West is one of the greatest rappers and producers in music history and is famously both stupid and an asshole. Being talented does not equate to being smart.
Chief Keef is hated in his own neighborhood because instead of bailing out a lifelong friend from jail, he blew 25k at a strip club. He's also not allowed back to Illinois because of a shitload of unpaid child support.
Keef and pump are drug addled idiots, Kanye is a man with mental illness who is too paranoid to take the drugs that will help him. Kanye has a lot of work to do to get back in peoples good graces but his is more of a sad story than a he’s an idiot that’s it story
I think all 3 are sad stories, but it's better to be disadvantaged and also one of the richest men alive than to be disadvantaged and not
I empathize with West, but cannot accept him using his global platform to demean mental health responses, because my family fell apart due to my mother's similar rejection of mental health treatment.
Once he goes public, especially with his passion, with that stance, he opens himself up to criticism for it, in my view.
Back in the 90s rappers would bring up Donald Trump as a symbol for wealth and success. If they're still doing that they haven't really been paying attention.
That was what I was thinking. I was like what the hell is going on when all of a sudden I find myself agreeing with Al Sharpton.
They say that a broken clock is right twice a day but it really depends on how it's broken, this particular one has been right once in the last decade.
Against another candidate I'd say this is a good point, but if you're bringing up Trump's past you're just opening the door to: "BiDeN WaS RaCiSt ToO iN tHe PaSt!"
People forget that there are certain elements of black culture in the US that has a lot in common with Trump's form of populism. For instance, there's a fair amount of homophobia and misogyny in that particular part of pop culture, and that aligns very, very neatly with Trump. Black culture in the US can be very religious and socially conservative (75% of black people identify as Christian, versus about 69% of white people; 20% more black people than white are Protestants of one denomination or another). If Republicans could stop being racist (difficulty: impossible), then the values that Republicans espouse would fit neatly with values that a large number of black people have.
Plenty of idiots out there. I don't get it. Ruch or poor at the end of the day Republicans think minorities should be second class citizens. I mean look at the maps in republican states that have been found to be racist in nature and yet they refuse to change even when ordered to.
