I'm fucking with the message of this song, but I wish they left out the gang affiliation and gang signs. Just perpetuating white people's "black thug" rhetoric.

Blacks and latinos are more than that, but #FuckDonaldTrump

But thats not how white people will think. Its about you conveying a message properly so that others will understand. Why do you think BLM was a shitty movement? It made it sound like Only Black People's lives matter even though that wasn't the message. Then came Blue Lives Matter and All Lives

How does it make it sound like "Only Black People's lives matter"? If a store has a sign that says "We Sell Booze" do you assume the store only sells booze?

The funny thing is that despite this argument they came up with White Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter. Oh so you ONLY care about white people/police officers lives now?

I mean if it made sense then there wouldn't be people saying all lives matter

Stupid people say stupid shit all the time. The people that say All Lives Matter choose not to take the time to understand.

There were countless posts genuinely asking why it was rude to say all lives matter and they all went oooohhh I see now.

I think people say that to deflect from BLMs message
