Rapper Common: Racism Can End If Blacks Extend Hand “in love” to Whites





Is Common on that pipe? Shiiit, I thought he had good sense. He should be sentenced to watching Sean Hannity for a month, with only breaks for food and water.........lol
 
Black Univ. of Virginia students blast ‘animalistic’ arrest that left top student bloodied

“I go to UVA,” Johnson says several times, before calling the agents “f*cking racists” and asking, “How does this happen?”

I guess he should have told them he loves them.

Members of the University of Virginia’s Black Student Alliance (BSA) ripped state authorities after one of its [BSA] officers suffered a head injury while being arrested early Wednesday morning, WTVR-TV reported.

The group released a statement describing 20-year-old Martese Johnson’s treatment by officers with the state department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) as “animalistic, insensitive, and brute,” and calling on authorities to look into the incident.

According to the university’s student newspaper, the Cavalier Daily, Johnson was arrested after a bouncer at a local bar refused to accept his ID.

“It happened so quickly,” a witness said. “Out of nowhere I saw the two officers wrestling Martese to the ground. I was shocked that it escalated that quickly. Eventually [Johnson was] on the ground, they’re trying to put handcuffs on him and their knees were on his back.”
 
I saw in the paper where they -- on the television where they took this Black woman down in Selma, Alabama, and knocked her right down on the ground, dragging her down the street. You saw it, you're trying to pretend like you didn't see it 'cause you knew you should've done something about it and didn't. It showed the sheriff and his henchmen throwing this Black woman on the ground -- on the ground.


And Negro men standing around doing nothing about it saying, "Well, let's overcome them with our capacity to love." What kind of phrase is that? "Overcome them with our capacity to love." And then it disgraces the rest of us, because all over the world the picture is splashed showing a Black woman a with some white brutes, with their knees on her holding her down, and full-grown Black men standing around watching it. Why, you are lucky they let you stay on earth, much less stay in the country.

Common is a 40 something year old rapper who also acts. I assume since he's in now with an Oscar he didn't wanna mess up his money flow (Common makes a lot more money than folks realize. He was making about $5-10 million a year on average 7-8 years ago since signing with Kanye). Same with John Legend cosigning that Beyonce mess
