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
Perhaps Jay-Z, Meek Mill, Meghan Trainor, Vic Mensa, and Rapsody can ask Sally Hazelgrove about her thinking behind the encouragement to cut off young Black male dreads.
“It's a family thing we box mentor make music & I get to cut hair He's freaking out but looks so cute! #loveshorthair”

The #JayzNFL initiative is directly funding a group to #InspireChange in long hair styles among Black Chicago youth.
How many NFL players have dreads or other long hair styles again?

The Crusher Club also encourages youth to grow up and incarcerate others to earn a living.
“Our Jr CPD they cant wait to arrest someone! Especially hearing they can start making 70k as a cop!”

The youth came to “career day” with the “dream” to lock up fellow community members for “$70K a year?”
“ALL LIVES MATTER”
Crusher Club said Trump is the answer for Chicago’s gang violence and called for a city curfew.
“We need Trump to help us. Sad to say we need a curfew while we address our current crisis of gun violence.”

Pretty sure a lot of people in Chicago are going to have issue with this, Crusher Club.
“Thank you so much! I love God my family my country youth and our law enforcement so Im an anomaly in Chicago!”

Wow! The NFL’s #InspireChange is giving to a non-profit that says most of the people in Chicago:
1. Don’t love God
2. Don’t love family
3. Don’t love country
4. Don’t love youth
5. Don’t love law enforcement
That is a pretty low view of the people of Chicago.

Crusher Club appears to throw in with Rudy Giuliani’s #WhatAboutChicago gun violence trope.
Is this group getting $200K? in NFL #InspireChange dollars to teach religious history?
“Christians killed women(witches) Catholics killed protestants Muslims killed Christians Jews killed Jesus ALL in the name of God - really?”

Oh, sweets are the best way to bridge the gap between police and the community.
“Cops and Cupcakes - what better way to bridge the gap than with sweets? Thanx CPD we are in this together!“

The Crusher Club serves as a place where Chicago Police can hang out with Chicago youth.
Police dances, police ping pong, police sports, police “save our youth”
Police misconduct?
“Stop demonizing all police for the misconduct of some - they protect us on the hood!!”

Back to the hair cutting, on Facebook, Stephen Styles attempted to explain to Crusher Club President Sally Hardgrove how problematic the practice is.
Sally responded, “I don’t see race” and says she will be more careful with comments, but doesn’t agree to stop cutting dreads.

Oh my bad. The FEDs vouch for them...
While your here, check out my thread on Jay-Z saying single parent homes cause police brutality...many are refusing to report on.
UPDATE; All you critics of the above hair cutting practice are practicing “reverse racism,” according to a source involved with the #InspireChange event who went on record with TMZ.

In the article, Hazelgrove didn’t say the haircut practice was ended. The NFL/ Roc Nation #InspireChange source said the donation 💰would continue as planned:
“..the event and the donation are going forward as scheduled.”
The #JayzNFL deal could fund more of these haircuts. 👀

Roc Nation with the defensive RT. Someone got one of the young men to do a this haircut endorsement video. It was reported to me that the young man is an employee of the Crusher Club.
❌Tired: Locs are gang related.
✅Wired: Locs are too expensive!
Now the director of Crusher Club says “our kids” seek out haircuts “especially since haircuts can be a costly expense for them.”

Notice the “our kids.” (Not 1 or 2) This is an ongoing practice that is still encouraged. Not once did she say it will stop.
Will part of the #InspireChange $400K go toward helping youth maintain hairstyles?
This org is doubling down.

Sally Hazelgrove’s new statement further aligns cutting off locs to the “new life” the youth are committing to.
How is cutting off locs part of the goal to “improving neighborhoods, maximizing their potential and develop into leaders of tomorrow?”

Why is the NFL + Roc Nation doubling down to fund the cutting off of locs to conform to white expectations? Why not announce a re-evaluation or demand the practice to stop?
We were told #InspireChange T-Shirts are dropping soon. When will the #InspireChange craft scissors drop?

Looks like they decided to repost the video from the youth employee again about an hour ago. Roc Nation, again with the RT.
Not sure why they think this video vindicates anything.

I am surprised they haven’t deleted this one yet. This one communicates such a low view of the people of Chicago.
