Young Thug and Gunna‘s RICO case has been the talk of the town this week and who better than T.I. to come and give his thoughts on the situation? On Wednesday (May 11), TIP took to his Instagram with a post that said very little but asked so much regarding the situation with the Young Stoner Life collective (YSL).
According to T.I., the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), the American hate group that reigned terror on African-Americans, Jewish-Americans, immigrants, and more for over 50 years, should have been charged with racketeering for all their criminal acts.
“WHY THE KKK AIN’T BEEN HIT WIT A RICO…,” T.I. wrote in his Instagram post.
Radio personality Ebro Darden offered a reason for T.I.’s question saying, “They are not of IG/TikTok and operating in states/regions where they control those handing them out…”
For those unaware, Congress passed the Third Force Act, also known as the Ku Klux Act, on April 20, 1871. The act authorized President Ulysses S. Grant to declare martial law, impose heavy penalties against terrorist organizations and use military force to suppress the KKK.
Young Thug and Gunna were named among 28 others in the 56-count indictment. According to recent reports, both rappers were denied bond following their arrests. Prosecutors are accusing the Young Stoner Life collective of being a “criminal street gang” behind a string of armed robberies, drug deals and violent attacks, including murder.
Young Thug & Gunna Both Denied Bond Following RICO Arrests
Law enforcement officers found drugs and guns while executing a search warrant on Young Thug’s home earlier this week, leading to seven new charges, including possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute to possession of firearm during commission of a felony.
T.I. clearly doesn’t understand what RICO is.
How would he not know what RICO is? You sound ridiculous..
Seems you don’t know what RICO is either. KKK are named as terrorists. They’re not into racketeering, which is what RICO was made for.
of course he does. hey cliff. white people are the reason why you are rich. is the kkk bad yes, but we know you hate YT even though 70% of your fans are white, its cool brother do you. im sure you think the 9 year investigation is racist too. even though they murdered, and sold drugs throughout the community hindering it.
U wrong homie. That’s a legit question Tip raised. The Klan is a continuous gang of terrorists that has profited off the misery of others. They ain’t burnin crosses no more, they doin it from the board rooms of corporate amerikkka and the police department
Yep, and they’re doing it in the music industry
Facts bro. Been at it for centuries too. And hell they probably help draft the damn RICO laws
RICO was created to take down the Italian Mafia. Had nothing to do with black people.
Dude, you are really stupid lol. Rico was created to take down Italian mobsters. And FYI, Rico laws came in the 70s. Not around for “centuries”.
The KKK’s first incineration was founded in 1865. That would make them 157 years old. Centuries would be over 200 years. Their numbers are under 1000 nation wide as of 2020. There are single sets of 18th street with more members. Zero clansmen are in boardrooms. They’re ignorant hillbilly morons. There definitely are white supremacists still. Most of them are in prison. As far as racism, the ignorant shit you’re saying proves it’s alive and well. Just like old “I’m king drug dealer, Americans are racists, yet I somehow made 50M as a felon” T.I..
You say Rico was created for black people by the KKk and then you are saying “facts bro” good god. Take a half day from work and get a library card and do your own research. The internet is unsafe for you.
Facts bro. Been at it for centuries. Hell they probably helped draft the RICO
Please state some evidence to that? I am genuinely curious. Show me evidence that every person of any power in the world dont all have some bias in them. Show me evidence that the KKK runs board meetings in america. Not your opinion, but facts. Show facts:
T.I once again proving to the world he’s an idiot who never researches anything and just tweets the first thing that comes to mind. Fake Twitter Malcolm X T.I is lame, he should have just stayed Trap rapper T.I, that’s what made him relevant.
I live in the south and have never seen a single KKK member in my life. Never known anyone who’s known a white supremacist. Never seen or heard of it. I know there are racist people, obviously. But with that said, I’ve seen plenty of self proclaimed gang bangers. They kill eachother daily where I live. I don’t think there’s been a single white supremacist attack in my lifetime in my city.
This is flat out ignorant. So you base reality based on what you have personally seen and not seen? Your gonna get on here with all this internet at your fingertips and make this retarded and irresponsible fucking statement?
So youre saying his reality isnt what he sees? The problem is yours is what you think you dont see because you believe everything that is told to you. Trust your eyes not your ears.
I don’t give a fuck about what HIS reality is based on what ACTUAL reality is. And don’t come at me with me believing what is told to me, I’m 43 years old motherfucker. You have no idea what I’ve seen, my parents and grandparents were both born into Jim Crow. I can’t stand you ignorant clowns.
What do you mean “you people”. I am older than you first off. Second off
I am a fourth generation italian whose family settled in Brooklyn ny in 1903. I understand racism and i understand cultural racism. We still have the same grocery store we had in 1912. Everyone has a story my friend. No ethnicity had it easy coming here, some just adapt and overcome and some still blame the white man. I love and respect black culture and have since rappers delight, beat street, style wars and even rappin duke. I go back to the essence of what hip hop was founded on. What i dont love is guys like TI just saying stupid shit just to say it. Next thing you know you have intelligent people arguing about it and thats why its counter productive. TI has no formal education, several felonies and is a multi multi millionaire in this country which he claims oppresses him and his people. Most of his friends are also millionaires.
Hey T.I.. you realize the KKK doesn’t really exist anymore, right? Groups like the Aryan brotherhood get hit with RICO all the time. Rightfully so. So do Mexican street gangs. Cartels. Russian mob. It was actually invented to take down Italians. You probably would consider them white (they are). The Klan aren’t all on social media, driving Lamborghinis, yelling fuck the police and wearing 30K watches. They’re toothless idiots in a cornfield. Fucking T.I. opens up his dumb ass mouth and shits constantly. Dude talks about all this racism in America. How the black man can’t get a fair shake. He’s a (over) three time felon who is worth over 50 Million dollars. How did all this racism and unfairness dodge you, convict? Fucking moron.
I wanna do a podcast with you!
Because KKK aren’t criminals? T.I. probably snitched on Young Thug and Gunna too lol
The fuck? KKK have been labeled as Domestic Terrorists. They aren’t criminals? Are you remedial? TI is dumb but your statement took it to a whole other level.
So Young Thug and his YSL organization are domestic terrorist
You tell me what religious, ideological or political goal YSL has. No they are not terrorists they are criminals. Can you at least do some research before speaking.
Right. TI the Informant said the KKK are niot criminals. So why did you call him remedial when you just agreed with his statement? You both agreed that the KKK ate not criminals
Bro, can you detect sarcasm within the context of a thread?
Some of you on here are deaf, dumb, and blind to the ways of the dominate group in our nation. Some of you poor little country back-woods Black Boys claim there is no racism Simply because you don’t visually see people burning crosses in your yards or the streets. They are still active and alive. One of you dipsticks said there are only 1000 members nationwide (???) hell you have single counties with more than 1k members. It would be funny if you people were not so darn ignorant. Yes the KKK or any other moniker you want to describe them are all one and the same with one common goal. You people sound as dumb as Antonio Brown who claims there is no racism in Amerikkka. You Duck-heads are so dumb it is pathetic literally.
Racism exist in every country. White people are not terrorizing black communities.
Clifford is the Joy Reid of hip-hip.
HE ALSO DOUBLES AS THE OSWALD BATES OF HIP HOP.
Dam TI, I didnt know the Klan was selling drugs, guns, murdering people, then singing about it, while also posting incriminating evidence on social media, wow, good to know. Fuck the KKK all the way, but come on bruh…
HERE GOES T.I. WITH THE WACK JOKES ENDING WITH PIE ON HIS FACE.
Lol. Rico laws were made to target racketeering. Don’t think the KKK was ever into that sort of crime. That’s more mobsters and gangs that move to white collar crimes.
People the KKK does exist but TIP is mixing apples and oranges that all.
The question he should be asking is why can’t people lead a better life. The kkk is totally different. He needs to educate himself. He trying too hard to come off smart.
