Musicians Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Meek Mill and Yo Gotti released a letter to state officials on Sunday demanding swift justice for Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man who was shot and killed in south Georgia in February.
"As a society we can no longer pretend that the racial inequities, which exist in every facet of our lives, don't invariably lead down the path to poverty, violence and death," says the letter, addressed to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, state Attorney General Chris Carr and the current prosecutor, Tom Durden, district attorney of the Atlantic Judicial Circuit.
Have Jay Z and Alicia Keys (who's not black, BTW) start here
These the same rappers that perpetuate stereotypes of black people being drug dealers and criminals, they use they platform to criminalize the entire race which leads to us more being targeted 😫
Two things that are guanranteed to end badly: - Trespassing on someone else’s property. - Bringing my fists to a gunfight.
CNN by not telling the whole story you are partly responsible for racial tensions!
Hey CNN!!! Why haven’t you shown the surveillance video of him casing the house that he “jogged” away from? Those men should have followed him until police came. A neighbor called after seeing him on camera. He shouldn’t have died BUT he wasn’t out for a leisurely jog either.
I agree on the justice but why the hell should we care about what these musicians say or what you say? It’s not about justice. It’s about image for you and for them. So over it.
I guess it’s better than trying to sue the coronavirus for racial profiling.
I guess Yo Gotti is in their DMs already
The word of “Yo Gotti” holds great power in government
Didn't 'Hollyweird' just put out a movie called 'The Hunt?'
Lmao. Who cares what they think. The 2 dummies have been arrested.
The only thing holding back black people, are black people.
The long arm of the law must-needs to be inserted into the Georgia police department first. Once the accomplices to murder have been charged, the two murderers should then be prosecuted to the fullest extent
The decency rule- One cannot have evidence of participation in any hate or supremist group. Evidence of impropriety would lead to disqualification. Every Officer of the law, courts, land, every Politician, Teacher, Doctor, Administrator MUST pass this test.
Pilfering construction sites is not a capital crime, I completely agree, the McMichaels appear to deserve many years in prison for the murder of a petty offender who did not deserve to be killed, now about those who stalled and covered things up?
Where’s Kanye?
White people will never like black people that's the Fact and we should live with it.
If not for that video just think how nothing would have happened
There is more to the case. He wasnt just a 'jogger' , u almost got me but after further research, Mr Ahmaud was doing something naughty. the Father and son messed up in the manner with which they approached him. The truth is everyone is guilty including the victim.
We need to get in touch with Ja Rule. He'll sort it out.
Well of course they did. Forget waiting on the facts right? You are 1 Fake News and will be forever known as 1 Fake News.
remember these so called 'celebrities' because they will need to be making a public apology as well .theft should not be a death sentence but footage proves he was not a jogger out for a leisurely run .
That’s cus there rich black racists that hate white ppl.
They never miss a chance to make America look bad. Not a fan of either of them. Could not tell you one song they ever sang.
ObamaGate
Who gives a crap what they think!!
F**King racists, backwards and sad nation
One incident from 2 men and we are not totally sure if it was even done because of race and its made as if the whole country is racist. For that matter what about when white people and women are raped, robbed, and murdered should it always be considered due to race?
The third guy was chasing Ahmaud in his car. He forced him towards the 2 shooters. His wife and attorney were just on CNN...clearly lying and trying to make the third murderer look like the victim!
But right at this VERY minute donlemon is doing a disgusting interview of the atty for the witness! Blaming the eyewitness - WHOSE VIDEO IS BRINGING JusticeForAhmaudArbery !!! - for not doing more? GO AWAY!!! FireDonLemon What a JERK!! Does he want NO ONE to seek justice?
Just think of they did that for the crimes in Chicago daily? But those cases aren’t black on white or white on black. Soo no real value for them.
I wonder what kanyewest thinks about this.
And what makes these worthless individuals so important? Id listen to a truck driver before I even entertained one word from someone who has EVERYTHING and nothing to lose.
What about the Kardashian-West clan? They have nothing to say? Ahmaud looks like he could be Kanye's brother!
So a black man, jogging, decides to go into a construction site, while jogging, and people say an innocent black man was jogging and murdered.
Thanks celebs we needed that
They demand Justice or only justice for Ahmaud? There is a difference
A drug dealer and and a convicted felon😳
We want these 2 time Offenders deported out of the country.
I hope things will be done swiftly until white celebrity joins the movement.
Cold blooded murder Will the media and the left give this horrendous crime a nationwide narrative? Of course not
More lying black celebrities. Did they mention anything about Arbery pilfering through a home that wasn’t his prior to being shot?
Why do we need to slap celebrity names on something like this? The two guys were thrown in jail. Not one peep and now 🙄
Get rid of that DA chick
Those two are gonna get justice I just beg the communities for due process and plz dont burn your city down :)
CNN trying to use Atbrry case as a smoke curtain for Obamagate
Swift justice means trial. Fair trial means NOT GUILTY!!!! Video evidence was clear.
For this to stop, there needs to be mass action, civil disobedience and a shut down of the state, by all well-meaning citizens. It is a totally unconscionable and despicable act.
The suspects are in jail. Not good enough ?
It's about time...use your celebrity status as a voice for justice for Ahmaud and others in this same predictment...if y'all put that forward and others follow maybe justice will prevail, if not you're not different than any Joe Blow !!
Okay cool, so what do Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Meek Mill and Yo Gotti think about this one?
Why didn’t the boy stop an talk to them
Swift Justice? Are you kidding me 😂 This happened in February. March and April none of you liberal hacks said anything. Now almost three months later you suddenly care. Is it because ObamaGate is being exposed?
Thank God for celebrities barf barf
CNN = Communist news network.
Remember when they got all upset about all the black kids that are murdered in Chicago, Baltimore , Detroit, etc......I don’t either
Remember, even with all the fame and wealth, Jay Z and company are still common, everyday street hoodlums. The zebra never sheds the stripes. TrumpLandslide2020
Black man killed older couple
Is S_C_ 'past kneeling' still ?
Lmfaooooo state officials posted on that shit
RocNation HotepJesus
rushing an investigation and the courts, is called railroading celebrities
Oh god, the 'celebs' are going to have an opinion already. They don't seem to want 'justice', they just want those guys dead, and they don't care if they really are guilty as charged. Just 'demanding swift justice'.. okay cool, so, we don't need lawyers, and judge, or anything?
Good
Fact is, black people built the real America, illiterate MF's attacking them.
I am sorry for the family loss! I just hope this case doesn't end up in Barr's hands because he's not about justice!!
And watch CNN fawn all over these overpaid blowhards
has still not revealed the 911 calls that prove the jogger was trespassing and the police were called before the chase began. This lack of information promotes the faults idea that random black men are in danger of being chased for no reason.
How many black people killed white people that day?
Good, the more attention this gets; the better.
That's great, but hasn't Meek Mill been to jail like ten times?
