Kendrick Lamar opens the 2018 GRAMMYs with a powerful and political performance

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.

Watch the new miniseries “Waco.” It is relevant. And good. The Grammys have been irrelevant for 30 years. And they suck.

Why would anyone watch such trash.

Last year in Baltimore, about 340 people were murdered.

298 were Black men killed by Black men.

Cops shot and wounded 4, and killed no one.

.... and the cops are the problem?

I couldn’t care less how many black people die at the hands of black people. Couldn’t care less. I have “Negro Fatigue Syndrome.”

I no longer listen to them nor pay them any attention.

The “brains” in Baltimore tried to blame all the murders on low police presence.

Can you believe it?

OK back to back women’s empowerment anthem with great signers as back u and worst singer Kesha in lead. In the intro CEOs cited in the group of “Victims.”

Followed by tribute to illegals by a woman whose family escaped Cuba.

Just saw thew reading from the fake book. A special 5 minute ridicule Trumpp moment.

At this point, let the marines arrest all the deep staters, including homobama and hillary. I know Trump fears the consequences of doing so (namely, the cities will go up in flames). But given the malevolence against Trump and America as portrayed by these city thugs, let the mutthaeffers burn.

These clowns are very far from honest.

They are deluding themselves.

Why don’t they try speaking HONESTLY about crime, drugs, racism, etc. among their cop-hating pals?

Ugh, just watched it. BASED ON A TOTAL LIE.

No one wants to kill black people. Police do not hate back people. In 2018 there is less prejudice against black people even by police than in any time in our nation’s history.

This victimhood based on skin color is totally manufactured.

There should be consequences for behavior, and most of the famous Police cases that have led to recent unrest have been based on criminal behavior by the perpetrators.

Disgusting to see all these people believe these lies and disrespect the people they ALL call for protection when they need help.

Haven't watched the Grammys in many years, thanks for reminding me why I don't watch. Kendrick Lamar is the latest SJW du jour who is famous because he is anti-white. His job is to keep the blacks angry and voting Democrat.

So many liberals really are astoundingly poor judges of character.
