come on man if anybody else would have won it they would have thanked God and the people they worked with and the academy and walked off. we not bout to get on them for not speaking out "enough"
Enough? Show me where they spoke out. They didn't speak out at all; The lyrics to the song are the same ol' safe, passive, can we please have our rights that continue to be denied for centuries but we promise to not leave peace and nonviolence so we will let you decide when you will give us our rights type song...breh, we need to start having real, critical discussions and actions about race and injustice in these spaces, not "support them because they made a soft song about passive resistance" type support; we must criticize the elites for not pushing the envelope; they have the space and capital to galvanize people and don't use it. Nobody is moved to action by that song because that song is anti-action. That's truth.

he dropped statistics, like there being more imprisoned then slaves. What if he had said nothing? You'd still shyt on him. Com and Legend both say something poignant and now it's "they're not saying enough, they're soft". No matter what they lose. What does "calling out prison owners" do? They're fukking millionaires. what does that do? Nothing. Only thing more they could've said was to end the war on drugs.

Aren't you white though. You're Chris Pine'ing too much breh let it go.
