T.I. took to Instagram to shockingly call Donald Trump ‘the face of racism’ after the president said he was not apologizing for America or its history during a speech at the U.S. Naval Academy on May 25.
T.I., 37, made it known that he wasn’t on the Trump Train when he took to Instagram on May 26 to totally slam President Donald Trump, 71, and his speech about America at the 2018 commencement for the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. “And now a word from the face of racism…,” T.I.’s caption read for a post that included a screenshot of a Newsweek article that featured a picture of Donald along with the headline: “Donald Trump says ‘our ancestors tamed a continent’ and ‘we are not going to apologize for America’.” T.I.’s biggest annoyance was most likely the fact that instead of addressing the current issues of the country, such as racism and slavery, Donald instead praised America’s history and made it sound as if there hasn’t been a brutal battle of various issues over the years. “America is the greatest fighting force for peace, justice and freedom in the history of the world,” Donald said in the speech. “We have become a lot stronger lately. We are not going to apologize for America. We are going to stand up for America.” T.I., who is known to be an advocate to stop racism in the U.S., clearly didn’t agree with the president’s words.
T.I.’s negative post about Donald is clearly not the first from a celeb. Donald’s had many social media feuds with celebrities over the years and they’ve proven to be quite the spectacles. From Oprah Winfrey to Chrissy Teigen, there’s been a lot of harsh words thrown around and while some ended just as quickly as they began, others went on for a while with each side continuously calling each other out whenever the chance presented itself. Who remembers the beef between Donald and Rosie O’Donnell?! Yeah, that’s still an issue!
T.I.’s disapproval of Donald isn’t the first time he’s expressed a passion for making a difference in causes he believes in. He recently made headlines when he publicly posted about a movement against Houston’s restaurant in Beverly Hills to try and shut it down after an incident that involved a security guard allegedly dragging an African American female out of the bathroom.
That was my question. Whoever or whatever a TI is it can go eff itself.
Slavery was ended over 150 years ago. Current issue?
Treasure Island
Texas Instruments
Titanium
Never heard of this Total Idiot.
When I heard Trump tell the Midshipmen that, I KNEW he’d catch hell, but I thought, yea, cut the trees, made the cabins, forged the roads, then the railroads, made electricity, and civilization (oh excuse me again).
He didn’t say a damn word about savages
In a statement provided to CNN, attorney Steve Sadow said T.I. was "wrongfully arrested early this morning when he attempted to gain entrance into his gated community -- where his wife 'Tiny' and his family reside." - CNN (5/17/2018)
Hey no knockin Fitty Cent. The average male member is 6 inches long on average. That’s also the length of a dollar bill incidentally. So when I hear the rapper 50 Cent I’m reminded that Fitty Cent has a short...
Yup. He is a rapper and does not understand the nuances of the word tamed.
I had the same question. And another question is why should I give a rip what IT says? (sorry I get dyslexic sometimes) This celebrity crap where whatever they say is news gets really old. I care more what my neighbor Dave says. He’s a real person.
Nope.
Trump spoke at the Naval Academy.
Tiny Intellect twitted about it.
They all do..all of these commie libs all live in gated communities, no way would they step foot within 1000 feet of the ghetto..unless it was to get votes
“Who” could not have been a speaker at the Naval Academy. He was on first.
Not much of a celebrity.....
So T.I is a Black rapper.
No need to read further.
Toastmasters International was my 2nd guess...
“Who or what is T.I.?”
A nagro. Get it?
I’ve heard that T.I. is a “bottom” for Braaaappp Zerobama...
TI? The only TI I know is Texas Instruments. What is this TI? Is he famous for curing cancer?
