<\/div>International rapper Jay-Z landed in hot water after he names fatherless as one of the catalysts for police brutality in America.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an interview talking about his new partnership with the NFL as part of their social justice campaign, the “Holy Gail”\u00a0 rapper speaks about growing up in a single-parent home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
He goes on to say that growing up in that environment you have an adverse feeling towards authority with thoughts such as “I hate my dad, ain’t nobody tells me what to do. I’m the man of the house.”<\/p>\n
And then when you hit the streets and come across a police officer your first reaction after they tell you to put your hands up is to tell them “f**k you”.<\/p>\n

\nJay Z really said that fatherless households lack authority with his whole chest as if we haven\u2019t all seen mothers disciplining their kids.<\/p>\n

\nJay 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.<\/p>\n
I honestly can\u2019t believe I just watched him say that. I\u2019m speechless. <\/p>\n

\nThe weirdest thing about the Jay Z interview is that he figures a father is the only legitimate authority in a house and in the absence of a man the next person with a penis is most powerful, even if it\u2019s a just a boy. The woman who raised you ain\u2019t shit.<\/p>\n

With proceeds from the apparel sale to fund the Inspire Change initiative announcing that the first Change Advocates will be Meghan Trainor and Meek Mill.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This announcement also didn’t sit well with people, especially with the inclusion of the “\u00c4ll About That Bass” singer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
