Jay Z wants us to believe:
•Black men disrespect police at a higher rate than white men
•Black men only die at the hands of police when they are "disrespectful"
•Disrespecting police is grounds for them to kill youThese are not only all false but laughably so… https://t.co/D9ZBxqNQw6

Jay Z Addresses Broken Households & Police, Sparks Chaos
We don’t have enough time to unpack everything Jay Z said in a resurfaced clip from a social justice panel with Van Jones, Patriots owner Bob Kraft and others but it’s currently dividing the whole entire internet.
Hov basically said growing up in a single parent household can cause people to have an “adverse feeling toward authority” which causes them to tell police “f*ck you” resulting in interactions that “cause people to lose lives.”
Now, to be fair, this can easily be taken out of complex, twisted and misquoted but he does clump police killings with fatherless Black youths without condemning the trigger-happy cops who perpetuate the broken system which, naturally, sparked outrage across Twitter.

“Y’all respect the one who got shot, i respect the shooter” -Jay Z on police brutality
— Maine Kiffin (@ThaMaineEvent) September 1, 2019
Jay Z really blamed the murders of Black people by police on the anger Black youth have for growing up in a house without their fathers.
I honestly can’t believe I just watched him say that. I’m speechless.
Chess is a really stupid game.

That snotty nose JAY Z needs to remember where he came from, a single parent house has little to do with how people interact with the police….

What also boggles my mind about what Jay Z said is the blatant decision to ignore the fact that police killed Black people who followed their instructions. People who had their hands up. People who weren’t aggressive in any way. He’s just mizing the truth for his interests. pic.twitter.com/UNwKSx70bs

He didn’t. This is how you misinterpret something & run with a LIE. This is how rumors get started. What Jay Z said is in fact ONE reason these situations can happen. Open your ears & listen to what he’s saying. He didn’t blame single parent households for police brutality. https://t.co/PeypEoR4q8
