Great episode. Great series. Great channel #RollingWithTheChampion #Uninterrupted
To keep it a buck, the hatred sees faaaarr beyond the bucks. Remember when Chris Rock joked that White audience members would never trade places with him… and he’s RICH!? Not really a joke.
Just hear what these rich, popular, powerful, [still] Black men have to say. And it’s not just the “other man” putting the pressure on them. Just saying. Just watch.
LeBron James and Kevin Durant KEPT IT 100% REAL on the hate they get, plus really making it as a Black man in America — especially during these times.

Activism: 23 Ways You Could Be Killed If You Are Black in America (Video)
July 15, 2016
Remember when Chris Rock did the comedic PSA “How To Not Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police” on his show years ago? No? We’re not surprised. With the passage of time AND all the police involved tragedy going on today, who can remember? And with all the unwarranted KILLING happening to us, it is really hard to laugh anymore. Crazy thing is… there seems to be NOTHING we can do to GUARANTEE living through a police encounter nowadays. Truth is, the time for folly is at an end. Hence the #WeAreHere Movement and the video above.
Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson, Pink, Bono, and others explain why it’s time to take action to heal the long history of systemic racism in America. #23Ways
