Shameik Moore took to Twitter to rant about black people’s conduct with police, and how he wouldn’t die because he knows how to handle himself.
See I have a very strong opinion that the black community hates to hear.. but needs to hear… we need to learn how to deal with police… and or racism… because THIS is the part of the scenario we have failed to fix. https://t.co/xEZ1SdgSUx

We have to work on our community before blaming everything on “racist” and police. 1… there is STILL black on black violence that needs to be addressed… and 2.. if we KNOW that the wrong white person could change our whole life with a false accusation …

WHY DO WE GIVE THEM THE ENERGY THEY WANT? Give them an inch they WILL take a mile….. We literally know this already. At what point do we look at ourselves and make adjustments?

No one asked for my opinion but it’s 2020 not 1945… meaning I’m more focused on black FUTURES than black history. I personally refuse to feel like a victim.. I refuse to have a slave mentality. I don’t not fear for my life because I know how to carry myself in tuff situations.

And I KNOW there are many of us that have literally NEVER experienced a cop or racist hunting you down for your life.

I’m pro LIFE… but I’m obviously black so don’t mis understand what I’m saying. Black lives shouldn’t be taken so heartlessly.

I just feel the solution is not to continue to handle the situation the way we’ve been handling it… there are no results… that is LITERALLY the definition of insanity.

Look… all I’m saying is.. in the MOMENT.. when we are experiencing racism.. can We the black community find ways to avoid being killed? Or hunted

You're right, nobody asked for your opinion. It is because of Black History we have a future. Because our ancestors sacrificed so much to get us to where we are today, buck dancing Negroes like yourself isn't working in the fields or being a house Nigga. pic.twitter.com/BXiSZp4wxU
