ASAP Rocky - "Everytime somethin happens because I'm black I gotta stand up? What am I Al Sharpton?"

[O.G.B]

So you know full and well it was a moronic interview but you get this worked up and analytic over it?

Yeah nikka you playing yo self.

If calling out alarming c00nish behavior from our entertainers/celebrities & checking apologists like you is getting "worked up", then so be it.

 

[wickedsm]

Where's that c00n alert post?

i was just looking and now i cant find it

 

[Solo ✧✦✧]

He keeps it real and honest and people get mad. These entertainers don't owe you all a damn thing. People are never going to accept that and get that through their heads though.

 

[big bun]

Rocky is a closeted homosexual hiding behind his drugs, "bytches" and "fashion". We see you, player

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Well, he has every right to not say anything. Just like he has every right to be an admitted drug addict and moist n#gga

It's just funny to me how these dudes really don't understand how slave-like their existence is. Like bro really think that his life is Soho, Beverly Hills and white women. Like any of that would exist if he wasn't jumping around on stage entertaining white folks. Like they won't take that away in the next 5-10 years after his weirdo fans grow up, get married, move to the suburbs and start disassociating themselves from any remnants of their hipster past, so they can continue the family cycle of white middle classism.

N#ggas really think these white hipsters f#ck with them like that

This is why I always say it's important to read history for perspective because all history is a current event. By that I mean that there were always black people that received extra sh#t for how well they could entertain and/or enrich white folks. So, it's funny when I see the modern day entertainers(rappers, athletes, etc) think that they are above the black experience. These n#ggas are the pinnacle of it and don't even know it....until years later when the same industry that put them on helps bankrupt them socially and financially.

Like E40 said, "they'll find a new n#gga next year."

Peace

[Dominoes]

His ancestors are probably the same 'Africans that sold other Africans' we always hear about

hell nah, this clown has no problem publicly speaking against black people In The media. But when it comes time to show support he is no where to be found.

Exactly!


BLACK VOICES
A$AP Rocky Receives Backlash For ‘Black-On-Black Crime’ Comments

When it comes to resolving the nation’s ongoing issues surrounding police misconduct, rapper A$AP Rocky suggests the conversation should begin with addressing black-on-black crime.

Last week the rapper-actor was invited by The Oxford Union, The Debate Society of Oxford University, to speak to students in a wide-ranging discussion that touched on music, violence in the black community, and the countless instances of police brutality that have made headlines worldwide.

In a candid conversation, the rapper shared his thoughts on America’s ongoing anti-police brutality protests in response to public instances of excessive force used against African Americans. The 26-year-od rapper told the audience he has not participated in any demonstrations due to the recording of his newly released sophomore album “A.L.L.A,” recorded largely in London, Complex reports

He went onto discuss the motivation of the protests — challenging the public’s emphasis on police brutality rather than violence within the community itself.

“Why are we exploiting the beef between the urban community and the police force when 60 people got shot on a Friday and Saturday [on July holiday weekend in 2014] in Chicago in black-on-black crime? So one cop shoots a black person... that kind of shyt is inevitable. Not to glorify it, but that’s nothing new. Let’s talk about the black-on-black crime. If you’re not gonna talk about the main topic, then don’t talk about it all.”

The comments were received with disappointment and criticism by some fans, many of whom immediately expressed disapproval with the viewpoint on social media. For noted social commentator and Syracuse University professor, Dr. Boyce Watkins, Rocky’s perspective on addressing crime in the black community is not misguided, but Watkins also calls it a “myth to think that one topic nullifies the other.”

“Of course crime in the black community is a concern for all of us, but that doesn’t give police the right to murder unarmed citizens,” Watkins told The Huffington Post. “A better approach to this comment would be for him to focus on the issue at hand, instead of attempting to substitute the first topic for the second one.”

“That’s like hearing from a rape victim and saying, ‘Yea, you might have gotten raped, but you also never pay your speeding tickets,’” he added. “In other words, some are asking innocent black citizens to remain silent about police brutality because there are not-so-innocent black people who engage in violent crime. One has almost nothing to do with the other.”


Ironically, A$AP Rocky’s most recent comments surrounding anti-police brutality protests follow the rapper’s May interview with Billboard magazine where he shared his reluctance to speak on social issues.

“If I’m not going to Ferguson or any of these places — protesting or contributing — I should shut the f—- up. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do. It ain’t my place to speak on it.”
