This weekend T.I. took to his social media pages to talk about black celebrities meeting with Donald Trump. As the African American community debates whether or not a meeting with Donald Trump is a sign of working against the best interest of blacks, there were several high profile people who took the time to briefly discuss their Trump encounters this past MLK weekend.
One important warning T.I. shared on his Facebook page was him cautioning celebs about being bamboozled, the rapper stated, “Be clear, There is an agenda behind all these meetings. I shall explain in detail. Be aware. Be alert. Or, Be Bamboozled!”
Many people on social media blasted a few celebs, including Steve Harvey and Martin Luther King III, saying they were being used as pawns on a weekend where we should be concentrating our efforts to celebrate and honor Dr. King. This quote from Malcolm X was shared on Twitter and Facebook
T.I. cosigned his epic Facebook rants with the release of #LetterToTheSystem ; this message to Donald Trump eloquently attempts to explain how a sector of the population is feeling about the election of Trump, the rhetoric he used during his campaign, and the anger and hate witnessed throughout this last election.
“Should it ever seem at times as though we are against you; I assure you its a result of you defining yourself as the representative of those who are, and always have been against us.”
Despite what T.I. may have going on in his personal life, we always appreciate the outspoken rapper who continues to keep pop culture and politics connectedm and make young people aware of what’s going on in these political streets! Thank you T.I.
