The internet is upset with Jay-Z.
We don’t have enough time to unpack everything Jay Z said in an interview from a social justice panel with Van Jones, Patriots owner Bob Kraft and others but some of it is currently dividing the whole entire internet.
At one point, 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 contex, 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.
His point sounds a little rushed considering what's being discussed, but no, he did not exactly blame single parent households for police brutality…
That's just one of many possible interpretations.Full vid is worth watching.

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 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….
