I mean putting himself out there and ACTUALLY protesting, making noise, making himself a prescence. For all their money and power, so many famous celebrities have kept their mouth shut in what is the biggest movement of Black Folk since the 60s.
Like, look @ the Carters (i know they suck but still), Oprah, The Smiths, Mr. West, etc. Leading members of the African-American Celebrity Society and they're nowhere to be found. That's just crazy.

Oh I know, I haven't seen him campaigning much, J Cole is kinda unique in how he goes out of his way to attend the protests and support the movement unlike the rest of the rappers.
It really sucks how so many influential people haven't been vocal about the injustices but I guess it's in their best interests financially to stay neutral.
The most surprising (and kinda hurtful) one is Kanye, the way he was so vocal about racism and the inequality black Americans are subjected to on his promo tour for Yeezus, but now when it matters he's silent. It isn't too farfetched to come to the conclusion he only cares about black issues when it's serving him
Stay reaching.
