#CrUtcher

Christian Rapper Lecrea posted on his Twitter, "We weren't made to become hashtags." speaking on racial injustice.

Lecrea wrote his post and a series of others after the news of a fatal shooting of African-American Terrence Crutcher by female police officer Betty Shelby this week. This incident being the most recent of the series of police shootings leaving persons of African American descent dead. When many believed individuals were innocent and victims of racial profiling.

He latter goes on to write, “The #AllLivesMatter hashtag is like spitting in the face of black folk. It comes off as extremely selfish and unsympathetic to a mourning person. Not because all lives don't matter. Of course they do. But it's very clear that black lives don't to many in this country. No one goes up to lung cancer patients and says "Folks with Breast cancer matter too!" #AllCancerPatients matter. That's Insensitive. True faith stands up for the oppressed and the broken. Obviously many can't see the systemic effects of racism and abused authority.”
