He's right, but the white supremacist mindset is one of insanity and illogical thought; they can't comprehend what he saying because a police man killing a Black man is status quo and normal to them.

Everytime someone mentions property damage in the rebellion, I ask them how they feel about Freddie Gray being murdered by police. Silence after that.

He has the ability to be a leader and I hope his words can be spread everywhere. The guy has been speaking truth since ferguson

That's great but his ancestry doesn't change because of his message. White people have also spoken for black issues; Tim Wise. He's not anymore black than I am white
