Definitely done by a white boy. nikkas ain’t just randomly shooting shyt up for the most part unless they got some opps there or something. Highly doubt it was some nikkas on that type time at a Juneteenth celebration

I don't know if you were trying to be sarcastic but I'm pretty sure thats exactly what happened

If the shooter was from outside the community I'm sure witnesses would've mentioned it by now.




A shooting from a different Juneteenth Celebrations. WTF is wrong with people??

We still got to wait and make sure it wasn't a attack by white supremacist.

There is a problem within the community. I don’t care about bullshyt excuses. Everyone knows this.

You're being disingenuous. You think black rappers just out of the blue started to promote gangsterism and violence because they thought it was cool? You're not even asking yourself what caused the shift. How did we go from black pride to gangsta and hoeism? There was plenty of positive black music that people consumed back in the day. The artistry didn't stop. It's the people pulling the strings that make sure only a certain type of product is put out there.

Are they forcing us to like it? We can get people fired, but can’t change the music? That criminal element is a turn on for a lot of us. That’s a problem only we can fix. I don’t support the idea that the white man is in our minds telling us what to like. If that’s what you’re saying, you’re admitting black people are mentally weak babies who need our hands held through everything. Crime was never something we HAD to do.

Ok dawg. “We our own worst enemy”

I definitely wouldn’t say worst. But we share some of the blame.

As far as the music, I don’t think it’s just the lyrics. It’s elevating the actual figures doing it and giving them interviews, letting them rationalize behaviors etc. it’s the whole culture around it. I don’t think it’s literally listening to a Pooh Shiesty song will make you go Jack cars, it’s everything around the elevation, promotion, money being paid, glamorizing it, etc.

My dad is a successful man but I used to hear him watch a lot of rap conspiracy videos,he watched nothing but the news or music industry interviews. The music industry media is too syncretized into our culture, it doesn’t do anything to change our material conditions.

Tell me, what does finding that out Diddy is gay, Gunna being a snitch or that the government is hiding the existence of giants actually do for us tangibly? Petite bourgeoisie don’t help the community at large, just themselves

Yep, dont matter if its July 4th, a graduation, Juneteenth, a BBQ, concert, after-party etc.. nikkas can never congregate in a peaceful manner

 

[Depreciating Asset]

So still no suspects??

 

[Neuromancer]

Did they ID the shooter?
