Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., noted that he’s unimpressed by “hashtag” and “t-shirt” activism if you don’t actually help the person you’re claiming to get justice for.
The rapper also implored activists to “know” what they’re “protesting about” before they advocate a cause. “It’s a bunch of facts that we think we know that we don’t know,” he said.
“I think when we see these situations, I think we also have to understand that we have to get very specific,” Wayne told rapper Fat Joe via Instagram Live, according to Rap Up. “We have to get so specific and what I mean by that, we have to stop viewing it from such a broad view, meaning we have to stop placing the blame on the whole force and the whole everybody of a certain race or everybody with a badge.”
“We have to get into who that person is,” he continued. “If we want to place the blame on anybody, it should be ourselves for not doing more than what we think we’re doing.”

One fact is the protesters and rioters are democrats.
Where are the black leaders? They are the only ones who can end this. The leaders need to be out from the faith based on down to the gang leaders. They had the whole country behind them until they allowed themselves to be used. Their cause has been hijacked by anarchists. They have allowed the name of George Floyd to have this big stain around it and it's a damn shame. No one will ever again think George Floyd's name without the word riots attached to it.
Sorry but all these things days are #.
Sorry but all thugz days are #.
Lil Wayne, a voice of reason. Who would have thought?
Well if we cannot blame the entire police force for the actions of this cop, then all the people commenting on this blog should stop blaming the entire black race for the actions of a few individuals. There are bad cops just like there are bad black people and bad white people. The badge doesn’t make someone inherently evil and neither does the color of their skin.
11:51 There is a preponderance of evidenciary statistics you deny.
When blacks stop committing the overwhelming majority of crime, this crap will end.
When the black mob societal consciousness stops siding with their criminals this crap will end.
When Government stops hiring psychotic control freak prima donna cops this crap will end.
The leaders like The Reverend Louis Fairy-Con are preaching today as everyday. Same as Jesse (the preacher without a church). Ole boy doesn’t need a church with all the gigs he has. NoW that‘s a little crook for sure. And there lyes one problem, “they” follow the wrong so called leader.
A few individuals?
9:18...that is not the only way to end this. When this bleeds to other parts of our country where good people don't put up with "this", you will see a change very quickly...smh...mho
Has anyone read the autopsy? It's enlightening!

I have to agree Lil Wayne makes sense at least he's not radical he knows you can't blame a group, or all the police for what a bad cop did and the bad ones that didn't stop it. Don't put all people the same color in the same basket think of people as individuals. Punish the ones that took part in this and give them the stiffest sentence we can. Let the courts handle it, and don't tear up your own community with the riots, think of your neighbors young and old and how they will need those services burned down, and that you are setting really bad examples, and were in a number of cases lead by Militants on a mission that purposefully get others wound up into crime and destruction.
Lil Wayne, look up what "identity politics" is all about, and how our political leaders use it. It's no surprise that the politicians promote the blanket condemnation of entire groups of people in order to gain and retain political power of target demographic groups. It's what the corrupt politicians do, and they will not "waste" any crisis to promote the division of America. It's their political "tool" for obtaining power. The thing that Lil Wayne complains about is promoted by politicians on both sides of the aisle, but obviously more on one side than the other.
