Rapper Chuck D of the 80s group Public Enemy ranted against the police on CNN's New Day on Tuesday. When Chris Cuomo played up how "you have a lot more diversity in the police force," the guest wildly claimed that "when it comes down to enforcement...people feel like it's still a slave patrol." He also likened the Black Lives Movement to the anti-Vietnam War protests: "People feel is that Black Lives Matter is this violent movement. It's not what it is. It's a movement against the violence....almost like in the '60s, when you had people protesting against Vietnam." [video below]

Racist idiots stuck in the past.
There isn’t a rapper on earth who’s opinion matters to me.

Don’t Blacks know a life of crime is a Dead End Job
These dummies need to read the statistics. Oh!. That’s the problem.
That’s why I don’t watch CNN. They rely too much on celebrities with big mouths to provide information to the Democrat low information voters.
In a way, I think he’s right. He’s an idiot, but even a broke clock is right twice a day.
The police are horribly treated by everyone - even brass. They are forced into terrible situations that I wouldn’t do if I was paid $200k a year. They are kept at a pay rate that is somewhat too good to leave (And a pension as a carrot) and yet paid too little to save up money and go elsewhere.
Police and Corrections Officers are both in the same boat. It’s a losing proposition all around. Both sides of the stick have a turd on it.
We should just make all crimes legal if black people commit them
True.
Slavery in the 19th century - Work all day for no pay
Slavery in the 21st Century - Monthly check in the mail and no job.
Sure, I can see where he is coming from..../sarc
How much did he make over those years?
Giving these thugs media legitimacy is a huge mistake.
Hey,Chuck D (and the Black Lies Matter gang)...I’ve traveled Africa.Extensively.And I can assure you all that there are many,many,many,*many* Africans who’d trade places with you.In a heartbeat.And they’d find a way to support themselves and their families...legally.Something all too many of you wouldn’t dream of doing in a million years.
How about if we just have the Black Panthers police the neighborhood that don’t want police. Let’s see how that works out...uh, ok.
That’s right because we are the only country with a police force
Some foljs are just stupid
How about some history?
There have been corrupt police forces and many cops are bad, but what about black crime?
why do they give actual verifiable morons a stage?
Rapper UpChuck is still around? What happened? Someone missed?
I know FReepers hate rap music, and I hate much of it myself. But if you ever get a chance, listen to Public Enemy’s 2nd album, “It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back.” It is truly a masterpiece and is one of the best albums of all time. Just the distinct ground-breaking sound and samples, and the rawness of Chuck D’s voice, and the lyrics. All of what was said then is a forerunner to what’s happening now.
