Scarface has been promoting his book, Diary of a Madman, and spoke to Huffington Post about police brutality, saying that it reminds him of a dark time in history for African-Americans.
“I look back at the public hangings and motherfucker was hanging there fucking dead and people was pointing and taking fucking pictures and shit,” Houston emcee says. “I feel like we are being hunted and yeah, I’m not cool with it.”
He continues that the wrong people are being trusted to tell the truth in the situations of police violence.
“Society believes what the officers say,” he says. “He got way more of a reason to lie than we do, than I do. You killed that man.”
Scarface wants America’s reaction to the events such as the death of Walter Scott to be one of understanding, not of violence.
“I don’t want no dying,” he says. “I don’t want no fighting. I don’t want no rioting. I don’t want none of that shit. But what I do want is for people to open up, on both sides, open up your eyes and your minds and realize that one injustice is too many.”

The fact is that young black men are way more likely to get killed by other young black men. Where are the marches and protests and outrage for that?
