Leave it to D.C. rapper Wale to find the silver lining in the much-criticized Trump administration.
Wale was recently approached by TMZ in West Hollywood and asked what he feels the presidency of Donald Trump can do to bring unity among the people. He went on to share his belief that President Trump and gang simply aren’t interested in bringing people together.
“I don’t think they’re really interested in unity. I don’t think they really care,” Wale said.
While Wale might not have that much faith in the Trump administration, he believes that the people will ultimately be the ones to bring about unity.
“I think right now is the time when we need each other,” he said. “I think if there’s any silver lining in this shit, it’s that people of all walks of life are coming together. And that shit makes me feel proud for humanity. We got a wild person in charge right now. But what I see happening is less hate amongst different creeds and walks of life. The Muslims, the Jews, the gays, the transgender … There’s a bigger enemy.”
Video of Wale expressing his hope for the people is below.
I remember in 2008 black people were optimistic that things were going to go great for them. By the end of his administration, I’d wager they felt the opposite. I don’t think who is in office should be an issue for or against the the black community – they have to improve on their own merit and continue to put in a lot of effort. Emphasize that education DOES matter, that stereotypes can be changed, that excuses can only go so far, that hard work pays. I know USA blacks will eventually get there, it’ll just take some time and hard work. Wish the best for everyone.
Tomorrow he will be backtrackin and apologising for his optimism smh
He should call John Mayer and do a song called “Letter Part 2” for Trump the same way he did the first (at least partially) for Obama at the beginning of his presidency. Which is also a great reminder how different Wale was back in the day. It must have hit him hard seeing up-close how (undeniably weaker) rappers like Waka Flocka Flame going (real) platinum with their cheap songs while his much more substantial debut LP struggled to gain attention. Signing to MGM might have saved his career, but also forced him to do sacrifices.
Funny he mentions jevvs, they were the ones who owned the slaveships they used to bring slaves from Africa.. look it uo if you don’t believe it.
Danielle Harling won’t be happy until all Palestinians are driven back from their rightful home and pounded into oblivion.
Trump is Netanyahu’s slave
Props wale
Wow just think we need to stay together and be strong? Huh sounds like the same shit people who oposed barack obama during his term (which i mind you is a far larger amount of people than what you see oposing donald trump)but know what? They all went back to work and actualy contributed to society unlike these fucking cry babies you see “protesting” donald trump bunch of worthless millenials and illegal immigrants who are supposedly our majority people need to grow the fuck up
Everyone comes together to hate on trump
Makes sense
We got a racist fool at the white house who has surround his self wit klansmen and expect the world to respect him this man got to be on powder cocaine and pills
