Kendrick Lamar says Media is trying to start a RACE WAR

[loyola llothta]

"i just lost a homie last week" sounds to me like "nikkas get shot everyday b, why are these 9 people in charleston so special and why is there so much attention towards blacks getting killed by police/white terrorists all of a sudden"

as if a powerful white man in a suit woke up one day and put the word in to news stations about putting an emphasis on these types of shootings when thats not the case, the reason this shyt is so common in the news now is because the trayvon martin situation opened a lot of eyes that this type of shyt still happens and the emergence of twitter, camera phones, and social media being the #1 news source these days, these types of situations spread quicker and wider than it wouldve had something like this happened 10 years ago where it wouldve probably just stayed local.. its not like the shyt ever stopped happening it just got swept under the rug and now its harder to do that in the technology age

kendrick been a fukkboy in my eyes since that billboard interview about mike brown and this only further pushes me away from him and this nikka was my favorite rapper before this.. then he made an overrated ass album that got gassed as some powerful pro-black shyt when all he did was rap about how we needed to respect ourselves before telling others to do the same

while I can kinda see why kendrick and q feel that way considering they come from one of the most crime ridden places in the country like compton where gangbanging and black on black crime is as common as anything else in the neighborhood so they have a different perspective on things concerning black people getting killed because theyve seen it happen by the hands of another black man so much.. but what they fail to realize is that the world doesnt revolve around compton, every neighborhood isnt like that and theres actual black people out there in places around the country who arent gangbangers and dont deserve to be killed by a white supremacist terrorist or a racist cop

This what happen when you give a industry plant hotep dude the crown as the new hot conscious rapper. This aas really think hes pac mixed with nas in 94'

I've been here since 2012. Had an account on SOHH (didn't post though).

I don't know who this new nikka is.

shyt like this has been happening for centuries though. It's just now being reported on a regular basis. It happens daily, but gets reported weekly. There's church black burnings all over the country just like there was in the 60s and just like there was in the 90s. The only difference now is that we got social media putting a spotlight on it. If it wasn't for the internet, I wouldn't have known about Trayvon, Tamir Rice, Mike Brown, Freedie Grey, Eric Garner, or any of the other major cases that's been in the spotlight

It's not some media conspiracy, this is the reality of life in America for black people. Y'all nikkas need to stop playing stupid and wake the fukk up

Yeah this shyt been happening. It's just becoming more and more overt because of social media and obama.

So it's the media not the actions of people and the ongoing feelings of oppression that are sparking a war? But hell I'm around bums so I might not make it to this actual race war because of my own people.

THIS RIGHT HERE

 

[You Win Perfect]

Basically this. What Kendrick is saying basically, is that he wants to stop the messenger instead of the source of the message.

 

[JoeClair]

We've been at war since forever. We just never fight back.

Kendrick sounding real c00nish right here

 

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

This is a very c00nish statement by Kendrick and I like some of his music. The media isn't trying to start a race war, this has been what has always happened to black people in this country. Police Brutality, Police killings, white supremacy, white terrorism. All of this has ALWAYS happened in this country and just because the media is reporting more of it now doesn't mean that they are trying to start a race war. That comment by Kendrick is like the ultimate head in the sand, out of touch type of statement that there can be. He doesn't want to hear these racial injustices that happen to black people so he wants the media to stop reporting it. I am honestly disgusted by Kendrick right now. He can go fukk himself. I don't know how anyone can think this guy is problack or a revolutionary. He's just another rapper who's trying to get money and stay relevant.

Alot of these new blacks are like white folk when it comes to race issues...they want people to stop talking about it cause reality blows their high.

P*ssies.

These weak coward ass dudes gotta go somewhere. We can't build shyt with weak links. Ol' we are the world ass hoe boys

I find it funny these types have th enerve to rap about black on black violence, guns, weed, the hood all of that...but have th enerve to dismiss white racism and then blame black people fo rtheir own problems when they're getting paid to do so by their corporate overlords.

BINGO!!! We get inundated with so many images of black on black crime, on a daily basis, that "9 blacks killed in a mass shooting by a White Gunman" AUTOMATICALLY before the killer is even CAUGHT turns into "Whataboutchicago#", "Whataboutcompton#", "Whataboutrapmusic#"

It's like WHITE terrorist are above reproach!!! On the day after 9/11 when all the"facts" came out that Al Qaeda were the perps, How many Americans were like "Well, whatabout Timothy McVeigh, Columbine, The Unibomber, Hitler, etc"? NOPE, hate crimes(including murders) against Muslims soared that year. And it all pretty much went unnoticed.

THANK YOU!

The moment anybody brings that up in a discussion..I just ignore them and discontinue my conversation with them.

His finance is as black as the Obama girls. She has one white grandparent.

nikka please....The Obama girls are 75% black...that bytch isn't.

 

[BiggWebb79]

Headline is misleading, it was Q that said that not Kendrick. However, it's not the media that's trying to start a race war; well if you don't consider info wars media.
They're just trying to profit off of it.

 

[the cac mamba]

115 is a dikkhead for that

 

[boyboy]

That's why I've never had any respect for any of these dumb ass rappers. I suppose it was the "media" who went and shot up that church too. smh
