“I think we’re passed kneeling.”

-Jay-Z
According to Jay-Z, folks like #GeorgeFloyd are killed by police because they grow up in a single parent home causing an “adverse feeling toward authority” which turns into telling police “f*ck you,” resulting in interactions that are deadly.
Jay-Z’s thinking blames the people for police brutality.

Jay-Z echoed this thinking during his NFL presser: “a lot of people are losing their lives” because police and community communication “is broken,” again citing people without fathers as a factor.

THREAD: Cutting off dreads for “change...and a better life.”

“Cops and cupcakes”

Praise for Chicago Police

A look at some tweets from one of the Roc Nation “hand-selected and vetted” organizations “as part of the ‘entertainment and social justice partnership’ with Jay-Z...”
Crushers Club is an organization receiving part of the $400K in NFL #InspireChange money.

They engage youth with activities, but it appears part of their agenda is #copaganda and a troubling practice of encouraging young black males to allow the director to cut off their dreads.
“And another Crusher let me cut his dreads off! It's symbolic of change and their desire for a better life!” - Crusher Club President Sally Hazelgrove

🔦Jan 2019 panel w/ Bob Kraft, Van Jones & others:

JayZ says growing up in a single parent house causes people to have an “adverse feeling toward authority” which causes them to tell police “f*ck you” resulting in interactions that “causes people to lose lives.”
#JayzNFL
After saying people are killed during police interactions, JayZ continues, “we don’t want those in charge of the police areas to be in danger either. We want to be very clear. If someone commits a crime they should go to jail.”

#JayzNFL
JayZ links the issues to politicians who “run on this,” but assures he means “no disrespect. I don’t want anyone to feel defensive about what I’m saying.”

He says the broken family structure impacts police officer families & “hard working” taxpayers who pay for jails. #JayzNFL
