can a black person spit on him when they see him on the street? maybe he'll get the message then

 

[Greenstrings]

You know he aint make that statement himself either huh.

If I had Jay Z money I'd be paying someone to write my txts.

 

[Lana Kane]

A shorter Jay-Z: I won't say shyt because I enjoy making money.

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

Hov's PR team did that so hopefully he ain't have go through that

Mods outchea encouraging tomfoolery

Now there's no one else here for us to look up to for guidance on the path to righteousness

 

[mtu wa chuma]

Still funny that we keep looking up to these famous or so called black leaders to do something when they keep letting us down time and time again. We never fukking learn.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

his puppetmasters had him put out that statement with the quickness because YOU KNOW more people will come forward about being profiled in these high end stores. it's only a matter of time and this shyt as already picked up a ton of steam.

but on the other hand, him and his people arent going to do ish because these products for sale in the store have already been manufactured, marketed and are probably in the store already and just waiting to be put on display soon. they are hoping that his "influence" can diffuse this mess as much as possible, just like he was used to spoon feed the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. ANd with that, people did buy into it because those same fools though he "owned" the team, while Mikhail Prokhorov was the one calling the shots and Rather developing the shyt outta the area.

This collaboration lives in a place of giving and is about the Foundation. I am not making a dime from this collection; I do not stand to make millions, as falsely reported. I need to make that fact crystal clear. The Shawn Carter Foundation is the beneficiary and the foundation is receiving 25% of all sales from the collaboration, 10% of all sales generated in the store on November 20th and, an additional donation from Barneys. This money is going to help individuals facing socio-economic hardships to help further their education at institutions of higher learning. My idea was born out of creativity and charity… not profit.


I move and speak based on facts and not emotion. I haven’t made any comments because I am waiting on facts and the outcome of a meeting between community leaders and Barneys. Why am I being demonized, denounced and thrown on the cover of a newspaper for not speaking immediately? The negligent, erroneous reports and attacks on my character, intentions, and the spirit of this collaboration have forced me into a statement I didn’t want to make without the full facts. Making a decision prematurely to pull out of this project, wouldn’t hurt Barneys or Shawn Carter, but all the people that stand a chance at higher education. I have been working with my team ever since the situation was brought to my attention to get to the bottom of these incidents and at the same time find a solution that doesn’t harm all those that stand to benefit from this collaboration.


I am against discrimination of any kind, but if I make snap judgements, no matter who it’s towards, aren’t I committing the same sin as someone who profiles? I am no stranger to being profiled and I truly empathize with anyone that has been put in that position. Hopefully this brings forth a dialogue to effect real change. – Shawn “JAY Z” Carter

No.

 

[LebronsHairline]

We've had ENOUGH fukkING DIALOGUE.

This is not his problem but if I was put on the forefront of this, my response wouldnt include the overused "I hope it creates dialog" rhetoric.

Almost 20 years and nikkas cant even use their power and influence properly like Pac did.

he don't care about blacks that much bruh

 

[Ezigbo Nwanyi]

These entertainers are not like the ones back then that stood for something. I expected this result and he delivered. If you stand for nothing you fall for anything. Add him and his wife showing up for the Trayvon protest when they probably could give 2 shyts was priceless.

@Coney Island posted this dope Muhammad Ali interview. I want yall to listen to it and then go back and read what this c00n said.
