Most black entertainers are silent about the police killings of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, they are silent about police brutality and injustice done to blacks. Maybe they don't have a television, and maybe they don't see the same news that we see.

But I'm going to give a shout out to the few black entertainers that are speaking up for blacks.

Flavor Flav was in Ferguson today standing with our brothers and sisters, in front of the police department.

Tyrese is one of the FEW R&B singers that's speaking out against police brutality done to blacks. He's one of the few R&B singers that using his PLATFORM to speak out against the police killing of unarmed blacks such as Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

When we see a black entertainers speaking up for us we should support them, because it's not many that will do that. Tyrese was out in the streets of Los Angeles protesting against the police killing blacks, and the great part is he brought his daughter with him also.

Black female entertainers get all over television shaking their ass, but when something bad happens to black people you can't find one of them. Where are the black female entertainers that's speaking out against injustrice? To be honest I haven't even seen any black female entertainers wearing an I Can't Breathe shirt.

Black women in entertainment today, they think their role in life is to get on television and embarrass the black race. They think their role in life is to get on television and act a fool, fight, and talk about who they are sleeping with.
