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.”

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

I hope this awkward ass hand-shake image burns in your head forever. Jay-z was wrong. It doesn't matter what he does next because of what he has already done. Even if he puts Kaep on later, that is just an atonement for his original sin.
A 6 Part THREAD. #JayzNFL
When asked if he would stand or kneel, he didn't choose either, he dodged the question visibly unprepared and possibly annoyed at the question. If he says yes I would kneel but we are past this, he would be wrong because plenty of people...
...still accept the flag, military, patriotism argument. But at least he committed to a side. What's crazy is I read a article or two that said he addressed the Kaepernick question head on. Depends on what question they thought it was, because that was a clear dodge...
