True, I think she should have said something though but she probably is in a bad place mentally after last week when everyone attacked her and won't want it to happen again. We don't know for sure either but it seems like some people she knew must also have contacted her disagreeing with her and to hear that from people she may have liked or known for a while would have been hard to take as well.

Yeah, I think just saying things doesn't actually work though or even donating money to causes. All this stems back to two main Government issues and the Government won't do anything about them until they are forced into it by having no choice. Protests, petitions and donations have never worked, you need to actually take action and you need to stick with it all the way until the people in charge decide enough is enough and they have to give in. Like these protests they could enforce change if they go on and even get worse, if people continue to protest violently smashing places up, burning places down for months or years eventually something big would happen but people won't do it. Things will eventually die down, get cleaned up and the same things will go on again for decades to come.

I don't see it changing anything. If it won't bring about gun control, which it wont because in the USA a large part of politics revolves around that and they need it to be an issue to get votes. They would then they need to eradicate poverty to fix it which they won't either as for as long as there are rich people there are poor people and when like 2,000 people in a country have more money than the other 300 million people combined or whatever the statistics are then poverty will exist. While poverty exists, crime will exist and when crime exists with guns the problems are multiple times worse. When you enslaved a race then discriminated against them for 100s of years and then left them on the bottom then the problems will remain.

I'd say no as I think the problem in America is they have too many guns, in every country poor communities fight amongst themselves usually the worst it's just fighting with little weapons like sticks, bats, knives and people are very rarely killed and as people get older they move on from it. In America the problems are like that x20 as they have guns and they kill each other all the time so the situation is far worse than most other countries, especially other "rich" countries, and the problems go on for a lot longer because so many people have been killed so it's much harder to progress from it. Then it's a racism thing stemming back from slavery, poor people always commit crime in every country - people in prison are probably like 95%+ from the poor communities. In America almost all the black people started off in the poor communities as they didn't even have rights at one point and they were all thrown in together with no money or jobs. So when a whole race is treated like that they were set up to fail and be stuck in this cycle from the beginning. Every generation barely anyone makes it out of poverty in any country, black people have been and will be trapped at the bottom for decades and maybe even centuries to come. The two problems that America need fixed are Poverty and Gun Control as thats what leads to the fear that causes the police to kill and arrest so many people, something like 2-3 people per day there are killed by Police that probably doesn't happen per month in the whole of Europe, they also have more prisoners than anyone. It's a government problem and the government won't do anything about it because they set it up to be like that and for as long as it goes on Black people who make up a high % of the people on the very bottom will be stuck there and recieve the worst of the treatment.

She doesn't have the means to do anything, no celebrities do. All their posts, statements, petitions and donations won't do anything in the long term, they never have before and are hollow empty gestures. Main reason she should have done something is because she feels the need to which is waht other people are doing. It won't change a thing and in a few weeks or months it will be forgotten about for another couple of years.

New song with Lil Wayne just released from the Deluxe version of his album, quite catchy.

She should post this video on her twitter, not enough people know about this Powerful speech but many very relevant things true till now.

SZA: And another thing . Black women (and men ) work very hard to be seen as soft And non threatening . we want to be seen as GENTLE soft ethereal beings too . Apply this to who it may FAN: Lana del Rey teas talking about black women can’t be fragile SZA: That shit really hurt me . FAN: Yeah she really lost me with that one, especially with mentioning who she mentioned. Women who lay their heart out in their artistry SZA: Like huh ? Just cause meg wears latex and kehlani got tattoos and bey wore a buret at the Super Bowl ... they not capable of vulnerability sensitivity fear and softness? .. GTFFFFFFFF

https://youtu.be/Xv2bBdbvF20?t=292 Check him on that song, I started it at his part I think if you press play if not its him at around 4:54 really good. He also commented on that video in reply to the comment saying "Big Floyd did that". Disgusting how he was killed.

The NFR Red Hot Chilli Peppers one is crazy as I wouldn't even say there was a song like them on that, only song i've heard of her that sounds close to them is Florida Kilos.

Big Floyd murdered by police yesterday https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/26/george-floyd-killing-minneapolis-protest-police

God's dead

Lana "I am my own team"

When they intervene and take her phone Lana:

When I see all her old posts like this, I imagine her writing them when she is like 12-15 but she was 25 at the time

I watched Big Time Adolescence (2019) last night, has Pete Davidson (Ariana Grandes ex Boyfriend) and Machine Gun Kelly in it, its about a schoolboy who is friends with Pete Davidson's character who is like 10 years old than him. I quite liked it, would recommend if you are bored.

It's the best thing she's released so far relating to the poetry, sounded so good and was recited very well. A whole audiobook of the poetry like this would be great :hdu: :hdu:
