Within the span of 24 hours, the Hip Hop community has been shaken by the deaths of two Black men at the hands of police. Following the news of Alton Sterling‘s death in Baton Rouge, another video surfaced, this one of 32-year-old Philando Castile, being shot during a traffic stop in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. Castile later died at a local hospital.
Several people went back to social media to honor the man and call for justice. ScHoolboy Q wrote a series of lyrics while Portland Trailblazers star Damian Lillard became a trending topic himself because of his controversial call for Black people to come together and stop Black on Black crime. The Oakland native reminds his audience that he knew Oscar Grant, another man shot and killed by police and who was portrayed by Michael B. Jordan in Fruitvale Station, and knows the full extent of the pain that comes from these incidents.

Cops should shoot Bones Jones ☹️
The police were just doing there job. His baby mama looked scared. If I saw a car with someone abusing there black baby mama I’d pull it over.
Some one is going to enjoy their salad tossed by you!! You are truly insightful!!!
When was the last time you heard of a black police officer shooting a white kid dead because he selling CD’s in front of the managers office of the trailer park?? Never
I always hear about white convicted felons in possession of a loaded firearm resisting arrest getting shot. You left out some key points of information in your analogy, dumbass.

I only met him briefly a few times, but my cousins and homies grew up with him in the Midway and knew him all his life. Incredibly chill cat who was bout nothing but love. This has to stop.
And still Katt Williams remains alive and free…
Lol, yall thought making Obama president made you free? Youre stuck in the matrix bruh. Blacks are far from being free. Us black people are experts at sabotaging ourselves. We have so much power and So many options to change this and yet all we care about is swag, trap and mindlessness. We need to stop the stupidity and start acting like an intelligent people. Its so easy to stop this if we just put our minds together and take action. White people know our power and laugh at us for remaining so ignorant of it. Remember the Black Panthers, Malcolm X, Fred hampton and MLK. the white man was scared stiff of them. and yet we cant see that. white people are not powerful. they only are because we are dumb enough to let them be. they are just humans like us.
Damn its 2016 sound like 1895 in the bitch
I think every one is soooooo different. everyone is their own race
blacks need to stop allowing themselves to be conditioned and get over their stupid inferiority complex of white people.
Let me guess?? 46 years old, living in the back of the mobile home you share with your sister/lover still writing your name on the orange juice. You are a moresickaMC!! Can’t wait till your hot shit drops!!
Please do what the man pointing a gun at you says to do. This isn’t a movie theater black folk. You can shut up for a second and not get shot.
Fuck him he had it coming the uppity chimp!
