He didn't ask anybody to educate him, y'all taking this s*** out of context, it was a personal conversation not a public statement
Maybe he did all he could, donate money, protest etc but still doesn't feel like that's enough action
I'm sure he can figure out what to do without posting tweets about it
Yeah that’s why I keep saying if and probably when referring to Kendrick. Definitely a big difference between what Cole did and Kendrick doing this
Seems like a pretty innocuous and well intended statement to me, but I'm sure we'll get 40 pages of hating ass bullshit anyway.
Exactly. Literally nothing wrong with what he has said here.
I mean it’s a tough balance for someone like him
Protesting helps to an extent sure but he clearly has more influence resources and platform than the average person so how can he mobilize that in the best way to get action
Kendrick knows protesting isn't enough. He wants to know what will cause real change
the most difficult pill to swallow is that peaceful protesting is fetishized for the exact purpose of neutering any potential change that can happen. nobody is threatened by marches, that's why they get pushed so much and anyone who burns down a building or loots is simply a savage who is hurting the image of the movement. there can't be "action" until people realize this.
This is the truth right here guys. Any revolutionary energy just gets subsumed by the system. Need something bigger—earth shattering.
There’s a difference between a nigga that spits bars and a nigga that spits bars specifically about this s*** OFTEN. The reason why no one was really looking for Wayne to talk about this s*** but not so much so for Kendrick and Cole. Wayne is just a nigga that spits bars. They are not. They often speak to the bigger picture so when the bigger picture is the topic at hand why would we not expect them to speak. It’s the equivalent of asking niggas why they expect (insert hood rapper here) to retaliate to them/someone in their circle being robbed/killed. Their whole careers literally have built to this point. Kendrick made Hiiipower and y’all wanna wonder why people want him at the forefront of this
Bro Spitting Bars about this is exactly why Nobody should be questioning their motive, activity and stance
The best way to help is what kendrick has been helping with anyway, and thats local community developments and the education system.
But money isnt enough, its about actually changing the curriculums of what kids learn about, aswell as creating a multi-ethnic and integrated society that appreciates each other. And thats when we gotta look at our own communities and think how to do that.
I can only speak for the UK, but one of our main problems with kids im seeing is that youth clubs are becoming less common, and many other factors has caused us to lose the sense of community that i was raised in
Police in the US also need way more training to actually become a police when you compare it to other countries. Its actually crazy that as an outsider, the solutions for alot of their problems seem straightforward, and they choose to ignore it
they’re just dudes who spits bars man ion know why ppl press them to post about it on social media as if it affects anything
Imagine kendrick gets in touch with noname and starts reading some of what she’s reading. Would be amazing
Kendrick doesnt read

peaceful protests have amounted to zero change ever
Kendrick knows protesting isn't enough. He wants to know what will cause real change
Exactly

Yes, king! don't give into saying what the white people want to hear only real action is gonna last
If a Black man who has technically beat the system by rapping about how f***ed the system is and accumulated millions upon millions of dollars cannot figure out what to do other than protest who logically can. What resource do these celebs not have available to them that cannot be provided ?
he didnt beat the system lol. He was just successful in it. Beating the system would be owning a billion/trillion dollar company that actually controls the world ie becoming the system
