No We are the world

No tweet

No public statement

Nothing

Thats a damn shame

That tells me all I need to know right there.

Oh so the issues you're passionate about are the only ones that matter. Mkay.

Kind of goes back to the fact that there are other outlets apart from music that artists can convey their thoughts through. Go ahead and ignore this point too though.

I am talking about when **** hit the fan in August. I am not talking about when they decided to given their two cents when it was "safe" or "politically correct" too.

I will exclude Rihanna because she did tweet during the actual Protests.. but Jay, Beyawnce and all them other folk SMH

"This never happened!"
"What about this?"
"Oh that doesn't count."

You can deny it all you want but you're wrong on this one, SF. Killer Mike's not exactly a pop star but he is still very popular and he was pretty much the voice of the hip hop community during those times, so I'll assume that you didn't actually look at any of the articles I posted.

I am talking about the POP stars period.

I am not talking about current artists specifically.

None of them said nothing during the protests except for Rihanna.

I implore you to learn about that fallacy that you keep using so that maybe you can make better points in the future.

I sat up here and talked about current pop stars this entire time and you gave an unknown current artist.


I suggest you take your own advice.
