Rapper Lil Wayne Hit With Backlash After Praising Trump's 'Platinum Plan' For Black Americans

Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he's done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done. 🤙🏾 pic.twitter.com/Q9c5k1yMWf

These are the hip-hop stars whose lyrics are always derogatory toward the African Queen herself (the black woman); even though they came from one, some have wives, sisters, aunts, and some have daughters. But when there's a black woman on the ticket, they run to the colonizer.

Wouldn't meet with the Black Congressional Caucus but he loves Kanye and Weezy. Disrespects John Lewis and Maxine Waters openly, repeatedly. Yeah, he's using people, and they're thinking that being used is being listened to.

Won't be buying your music any more, Weezy. #ExFan

If either Trump or Lil Wayne had any intention to help the black community, they would have met with community leaders long ago. This is just another stunt and exchange of personal favors, days before the election: trump, to get black voters; and Wayne, to get public attention.

What do u do when The NE Journal of Medicine, The Economist, and even Wall Street speak out against u being re-elected? If ur Trump you call those who can be bought. Ice “f the police" Cube, Lil “f the world" Wayne, and Lil “f everything" Pump. True bastions of peace and love🤮

This is the man who has been explicit that he believes that the suburbs (and his own real estate) should not be home to people of color. The man has support from white supremacy groups. He is only for himself, vote him out
