Exactly, and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians are killed . So I would have to say it is hypocritical

So you think if a guy goes to war, when he comes home he's wrong for expecting his family to not be harmed?
Y'all just break all logic to defend this shyt.
First off fighting in a war doesn't absolve you from deserving fair treatment or having morals/feelings
Second in this song Kendrick isn't talking about ganbangers being hypocritical. He's talking about all black people being hypocritical for pursuing justice for trevon.
Third. The two situations aren't even remotely related. Gang violence and state sanctioned murder are two wholy separate issues. Caring more about one than the other does not make you a hypocrite.
The line is expressing the sorrow, guilt, and emotional feelings Kendrick felt when finding out Trayvon Martin died. Does not mention the justice system. Does not even mention Zimmerman. These are all your assumptions on what kendrick was doing with that last bar.
"So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street?"
You said yourself that in your opinion gangsters found Trayvon a "lame" or "schoolboy" so why would all of these rappers with gang connections and gang roots be creating all of these songs about police brutality and black killings out of no where? Have you been living in a cave? This killing clearly led to a wave of outrage expressed by everyone in the African American community from gang bangers to rappers to athletes. I don't need to post information you can simply google

Are you a fukking moron, rappers with gang ties, what does that mean lol, rappers aren't gang bangers they are rapping
Game has gang ties, but his children don't, they live in the suburbs and are wealthy living good lives
so what happened to Trayvon could've happened to his son, and he didn't move out the ghetto for that
I explained to you, street nikkaz do not fukk with or interact with regular people like that, they know Trayvon is not from the streets and about that life
that's HOW A GANG MEMBER COULD BE OUTRAGED AT HIS DEATH
When is law enforcement held at the same standard of integrity as street criminals
if you don't understand the difference, I don't know what to tell your dumb ass
and I know Kendrick said in the lyric, but the purpose of the lyric was to cause deflection
also the lyric is not grounded in reality, nobody wept for trayvon except for his parents
people were outraged because Zimmerman got off, that's the whole issue with the Trayvon situation
also if these gang members protesting for Trayvon can be googled?
What don't you just tell me, if that's easy
because it doesn't exists that's why
you fukking dumb ass
Bruh.
you asked me the question then get mad at my opinion? No the guy isnt wrong for not expecting his family to get harmed. Reread what I said, reading is fundamental.

The concept is simple.
The de facto and de jure racist regime of the U.S. created all these problems for black folks, INCLUDING tropes such as gangbanging. And yet, KNOWING that the system has poisoned our communities SOME choose to perpetuate said tropes, and yet weep when that same system pits some one who is not US against us. He says that's hypocritical. Has nothing to do with respectability politics.
How many old heads you seen or heard say "We always hollerin' when THEY kill us, but we not saying nothing when we kill our own." I don't particularly agree, because I do think we respond in different ways. But the fact that the observation is there warrants the discussion.
We forever talking about black folks aren't a monolith but we bug the fukk out when someone says something that is divergent from the status quo.

Bruh.
You've gone back and forth with your answer. You just say whatever defends Kendrick at that point
Just shut the fukk up you been repeating yourself all throughout this thread. Agree to disagree nikka, keep it moving.
You're arguing for the sake of argument
Reality is that way nikka
go get some p*ssy
