Tamir Rice's Mom Has Words For Tamika Mallory and Other Activists After Watching

What am I missing? What did she do for her to go out of her way to say something?
What happened with Mysonne?
Tamir Rices' murder still pains to this day. Cant imagine the nightmare his mother lives daily. Not sure of the details here but if its about activist performing at the Grammys then im gonna agree with her sentiment.
Duh that's the point of these "organizations"
They basically feel that they’re fake activists getting paid to calm black folk down.
Say it again, but much louder!! Aint nobody listening!!
you dont have a point as usual...dont derail the thread go play somewhere else
its sad & tough all around ! we will never get 100% of commitment or responsibility from all sides but we have to learn to really do things differently, i see both sides of the argument but feel there are better ways to deal with certain issues ! these purity test and circular firing squads gonna be the death of alot of progressive movements ! its just tough al around
but it shouldnt be , if rappers dont talk activism they get flamed for not being activists then if rappers become activists the still get flamed them for being rappers or activists
That’s not true. Jay Z talking black empowerment shit comes across as duplicitous. Mos Def rapping about black families seems ironic. There are many activist slash rappers. The problem is you can’t make the hoes in the club dance to injustices.
so I'm confused....Should there not be any activists then? If so then when are they allowed to speak, and what are they allowed to speak about?
As a casual rap fan, I'd rather rappers be out front and talk about what's going on than them being fake bloods and Donald Trump ass kissers.
So she is calling out the activists but is she calling out the mfers who kill and get away with it?
Like the bastard who killed her son and is walking around without a care in the world?

lil baby isn an activist. The performance with the fake cops at the grammy's is ridiculous
Fair enough...I was asking about the sister Tamika Mallory....should she not speak up even if invited to these platforms?
she should have declined..What purpose does it serve for her on that platform other than self promotion?
I don't watch Grammy's (last one I saw was Lauryn Hill) but apparently Ms Mallory subject of text is calling on PRESDIENT BIDEN (by name) and calling for racial justice. AT THE GRAMMY AWARDS. This is one of the largest stages in the WORLD. IMO, anyone who has a problem with this is actually part of the problem and not the solution.
I agree but I always seen her as different from most activist because she usually speaks from her own experience of losing her son's father to gun violence...
It seems Ms. Rice doesn't know much about Tamika's background and just lumping all the Black activist together...

Bruh...what does all that mean? You think people who kill unarmed black men and or your president are gonna be like "you know what..I didn't think about that before but since she said it on the grammys let's change"
Well I guess that's where the disagreement lies....I understand and agree that there are some that use the tragedy of experiences in our community to enrich themselves under the guise activism, but nothing I know about this sister leads me to believe that is who she is.
I can dig that...I've heard her speak a few times and she seems genuine. Just think the grammys was a bad look.
and anyone who claims to know is probably just making shit up. Folks acting like being is activist is ALL a person is allowed to do in life.
To THEM I say FOHWTBS
I think a lot of this has to do with a recent story where it was said that the Black Lives Matter organization raised about $90 million last year and the families of some of the most high-profile victims of police shootings, like Mike Brown & Tamir Rice, didn't get a cut. And the word is that a large portion of those funds were redirected to LGBTQ organizations.
