How can a person who admits they don’t know sh!t about politics be called an “activist”? Call it like it is…T.I. Is a useful idiot. Does he even have fans? Who likes this punk?
Yeah. The BLM guy who was arrested with silencers and machine guns is great for the culture. A cop rightfully shoots some moron with a gun that doesn’t comply, and this weirdo leads a protest thru downtown ATL and then blocks a freeway. LOL. Good call. What award is this anyways?
