Dopo l’uccisione del quarantaseienne afroamericano George Floyd, avventa il 25 maggio a Minneapolis per mano dall’agente Derek Chauvin e le conseguenti proteste che si sono diffuse in tutti gli Stati Uniti, molti musicisti hanno espresso il loro cordoglio per l’uomo defunto e condannato il gravissimo gesto del poliziotto. In vari casi ci sono state reazioni negative anche ai commenti del presidente Donald Trump, il quale ha accusato i media di aver fomentato odio e anarchia e aver diffuso, a suo dire, fake news:
The Lamestream Media is doing everything within their power to foment hatred and anarchy. As long as everybody understands what they are doing, that they are FAKE NEWS and truly bad people with a sick agenda, we can easily work through them to GREATNESS!

WHITE SILENCE IS VIOLENCE!
Watch this video! The Police, & those they serve, would rather jack up the violence & burn down the town, than be held accountable under the law.
How about, Murder in the first degree, life for killer…
How about actual real law?

Several roads have brought us to this point. Only one road is going to lead us out of here. We HAVE to take the road together. Fight injustice. Fight racism. Fight oppression.

This display of ignorance is astounding, yet woefully unsurprising. I have no words. Racism is unbelievable, in the truest sense of the word. We cant let those who use this for personal gain break our spirits. Create. Breathe. To not let it break us is a rebellious act in itself.
