Popular singer, John Legend has come out to criticize former United States President, Donald Trump. He recently called him racist towards black people, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he remembers when Black Americans protested the killing of George Floyd, while Trump was busy advocating for the military to shoot him and his kind in the streets.
John added that the ex president has made it clear throughout his life that he believes Black people are inferior, and he never let them live in his building back in the day.
His words, “He’s not been an ally.
I think the ‘First Step Act’ was fine — it was a very small reform, and to be honest, most of the reform we need is on the local and state level because most incarceration is local and state, and most of the laws that end up being criminally enforced are local and state laws, so very little impact can happen on the federal level.
At the same time he’s claiming credit for those small things, he’s also saying, ‘Y’know, if people are stealing something, they should get shot in the middle of the store.’ When we protested the killing of George Floyd, he was advocating for the military to shoot us in the streets.
He’s made it clear throughout his life that he believes Black people are inferior; like he believes that to his core, in his bones. He won’t let us live in his buildings back in the day, but also when you hear some of the stray comments he makes, he clearly believes in a genetic hierarchy of humanity and is racially determined.
He is a tried-and-true, dyed-in-the-wool racist, like in the core of his being, he is a racist.”
WOW.
