DAMN. Kendrick Lamar opened the 2018 GRAMMYs with a powerful and political performance of his hit, "XXX.'"
The rapper featured an army of face-covered soldiers marching in the background of an American flag, that quickly turned into a "satire" taking a jab at the current political climate in the United States.
Bono joined the rapper for their duet of "XXX" and in the middle of Kendrick's rap, the camera quickly turned off to the side of the stage where Dave Chappelle delivered a powerful statement, telling viewers, "I just wanted to remind the audience that the only thing more frightening than watching a black man be honest in America is being an honest black man in America."
Lamar is no stranger to using his voice and songs to address the current political climate in the United States. "XXX" references the gun violence and police brutality against the black community in America.
The powerful performance ended with the soldiers each falling to the ground one by one as sounds of gunshots were heard.

Barf.

Too bad we can’t deport these whiners to countries that are majority Black in Africa, countries we can justly describe as s**t-hole countries.
Kendrick who?
The best thing tonight is this challenge from cartoonist Scott Adams.

Prefer to watch a Gunsmoke re-run where Festus wins a race aboard his mule. Better entertainment IMO.
HBO”The Wire” season 1. We’re on episode 13 season finale. Then-——season 2. On Amazon.
An “honest black man in America” is frightening?
What a stupid statement.
They keep ignoring black-on-black violence and black-on-white violence, because they are low-life racists.
>>>”I just wanted to remind the audience that the only thing more frightening than watching a black man be honest in America is being an honest black man in America.”<<<
Since I apparently suffer from White Privilege, could somebody who understands this new fangled Anti-White thinking explain to me exactly what the above statement means?
Looks like you’re the only one following the Grammys on FR.
Retards
My dentist was having a special on novacaine free root canals so I went there instead.
So tell me Kendrick, what did Obama do for blacks in eight years? (Hint: “nothing” would be in the answer).
Here is the show stopper by far. What a hero this woman is! (for real and worth seeing)
I was watching PGA Tour playoff, thankfully.
Where were these “honest” black “men” when that douchebag Obama was president and screwing them over, favoring illegal aliens and muslims over the black men?
