Lil Wayne Shocks Entire Race-Baiting Panel: I Thought Racism was Over

Via Truth Revolt

Don’t like rap. It sounds like crap. Makes me wanna snap. Like I’m caught in a trap.

“Word.” 

But I do like people who are honest and march to the beat of their own drum. This was refreshing…

Rapper Lil Wayne appeared on FS1’s Undisputed with Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe and left them in shock when he said he has never dealt with racism and believes it to be a thing of the past.

Wayne was asked to weigh in on 49er backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s Black Lives Matter protests. The rapper explained that he isn’t really paying attention to even have an opinion on the matter. In fact, as many blacks were swept up in the wave of the BLM movement, Wayne said it had passed him by.

But Bayless pressed, asking for comments on race relations in America. Wayne dropped an atomic bomb:

“Skip, they wouldn’t want to ask me that. They wouldn’t want my answer to represent it, because God knows, I have been nothing but blessed. My whole path; these 33 years have been nothing but a blessing. I have never — and never is a strong word — never dealt with racism.”

“I’d have to say that not only did I thought it was over, I still believe it’s over,” he added. Wayne then concluded that perhaps it’s not over for everyone.

Wayne believes being a famous rap star has something to do with how he is treated, but Bayless and Sharpe were flabbergasted at his statements. Sharpe, an ex-NFL star and someone who grew up in the deep South, reminded Wayne about what the “racism” in and around his hometown of New Orleans: the shooting of Alton Sterling, Katrina, et. al. “I know you say you’re not paying attention to it…” Sharpe said before Wayne finished his sentence, “But I see what’s going on.”

Wayne’s solution is simple: put emotions aside and figure out what is actually going on and try to put a stop to it. A bonus would be if everyone could “come together” and maybe that’s the point of all of this, he added.

For Wayne, he made it clear that he isn’t interested in protesting or being distracted by anything because to him, nothing is more important to him than his four children. “That’s all that matters to me,” he said.

Bayless, still unsatisfied, wanted to go “one step deeper” and brought up a question he asked Wayne years prior about the racial breakdown at his concerts. Wayne had told Bayless that the only black face he could see was his makeup artist in the front row. Wayne laughed at the memory.

Then, Bayless asked his guest to explain why so many white kids love rap. “What does that say to you?”

Wayne delivered yet another atomic bomb:

“I don’t want to be bashed because I don’t want to sound like I’m on the wrong — if there is a side — but I thought that was clearly a message that there was no such thing as racism.”

You could almost hear jaws hitting the floor.

Sharpe commended the rapper for not embellishing his story to make up incidents of racism, as so many BLM supporters obviously do. But he still struggled with what Lil Wayne was saying.

“If you don’t believe [racism] is alive and well, check my timeline,” Sharpe said. Putting words into Wayne’s mouth, Sharpe baited, “Racism is real, he knows it’s real although he hasn’t experienced it.”

And then Wayne dropped his final bomb, telling the story of how he was saved by a white police officer when he was 12. Alone at home, he had accidentally shot himself, and the police came busting through the door. Wayne said all the police officers were stepping over his bleeding body expecting to find drugs and other evidence of wrongdoing. But Wayne said it was the white police officer who picked the child off the ground and rushed him to the hospital.

Wayne’s story goes against the narrative and that’s hard for folks to handle.

This is a must-watch clip. See it above.
