RZA Says Dressing Better Could Prevent Police Harassment And All Lives Matter

[rapmusic]

Lol at brothas needing to wear full on tuxedos just to go to the laundromat and shit. I don't agree with Rza but I'm not going to throw away all my Wu CDs over this shit. Niggas be so quick to throw black celebs away over shit like this, but want to let Cosby and R. Kelly live. We got to get this shit together man smh.

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Ey can we stick to directin' the ether at this mug and not at the dopeness he created please

Smh I'm tryna back Supreme Clientele in the Reason and this nigga talkin' this nonsense smh

 

[Copper]

He criticizes people getting shot /assaulted for not dressing like a GQ ad while they go about their daily lives....

The same people he made millions off of while dressed like one of them

 

[rapmusic]

Fuck Rza for that man. I got profiled once in a bar and I was dressed just like most of the white boys in there. Polo shirt, shorts, and a baseball cap. People complained cause they saw my cellphone sticking from under my shirt and thought it was a gun. Dumb ass white lady cop actually pats me down in the middle of the bar. I went the fuck home smh

 

[Disciplined InSight]

What THEE fuck...smh. RZA done fucked up...

When you think about some of the brothers who are being brutalized by the police, you also gotta have them take a look and us take a look in the mirror at the image we portray," RZA says. "If I'm a cop and every time I see a young Black youth whether I watch him on TV, movies or just see them hanging out and they not looking properly dressed, properly refined, carrying themselves, conducting themselves at proper hours of the day, things that a man does. You're gonna have a certain fear or stereotype of them. I tell my sons...I say, 'If you're going somewhere, you don't have to wear a hoodie.' We live in New York, so hoodies and that is all good, but sometimes button up your shirt, clean up. Look like a young man. You're not a little kid. I think that's another big issue we've got to pay attention to is the image that we portray that could invoke a fear into a White officer or to any officer."

Lol Shut that sh*t up RZA. they don't care what you wear. You or your son still won't be above them bullets. The most peaceful protestor in history got killed in a suit. So what does attire got to do with it

 

[Stomp Johnson]

I saw this wackass interview and couldn't believe wtf I was seeing.

 

[endboss]

Wtf? Blame the hoodies now? Rza lost massiv points with this shit

 

[Jabu_Rule]

I wonder if Rza was thinking about how straight his tie was when he was selling crack to his hood.

 

[supergangster]

DID RZA even respond to MARTIN SHRLEKI? dat hoe ass jew cracka..

also this probably why some wu members mad at RZA.. he been doin dumb shit

 

[EyeofAsaru]

Hello

Doesn't this nigga remember 93' when he was in Wu videos swinging machetes in hoodies ?...

Eye see what he's saying but plenty good brothers that died at the hands of 5-0 weren't dressed thugged out

Cant believe wat I'm hearing

 

[tompetrez3]

I never in a million years thought i would say this but Fuck RZA and Wu Tang

 

[soul rattler]

Holy shit

Will this be the thread where niggas will finally turn on Wu Tang? Will the 2 1/2 decade long stanfest finally come to a screeching halt?

Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z.

 

[Busta Carmichael]

Woat flow

 

[5th Letter]

What he said is not entirely true, and moreover it was a fucked up thing to say in this context.

Nevertheless, he's right that how you dress, etc. can make a difference. But it doesn't always make a difference. It would be foolish to say that it doesn't make a difference because it doesn't always make a difference.

And, of course, whether it makes a difference is a different issue from whether we ought to be doing that to avoid police harassment. We shouldn't. As I have written on here many times before, I'm against dressing up to avoid racism and discrimination. But you're wrong if you think that dressing up doesn't help at all.

If only black people can change their skin to white then we wouldn't have to worry about this at all right?

 

[D. Morgan]

What did you expect from a nigga that hangs out with kkkwentin Tarentino?

Nigga had 1 hot verse his whole career, fuck him and his dusty ass beats.

Really? kkkwentin Tarentino? That the same dude that's catching flack for coming out and saying that police do unfairly target blacks and saying that the confederate flag is America's swastika? Ya'll niggas are silly.

Yeah and hes the same fuckboi that makes it a point to use nigger 3000 times anytime hes got a black person cast in one of his bitch ass movies and speaks "jive" to black people in real life, he aint shit but a pandering faux liberal, fuck him.

Exactly

 

[bck145]

[T. Sanford]

Guys guys, we can end racism & white supremacy if we start wearing suits
