Rap music has helped me get through many moments, and I suffer from mental illness. Hip-Hop culture & music has "never" made me want to go out and slit an innocent teenagers throat. Let's call it what it is. This was definitely a hate crime.

@CoryBooker@KamalaHarris@ewarren Don't just pitch these plans of tackling "systemic racism" to improve your standing with black & latino voters. Your black business loans & pushing for legalizing marijuana thrills a few blocks, but we need more focus on keeping villages alive.Show this threadThanks.

We need more white people to put their superiority complex aside, and finally admit America is a racist fucking machine that's drastically out of control & fully exposed thanks to comrade Trump.

John Cowell murdered 18-year-old Nia Wilson at BART's MacArthur Station last year. It's interesting how frequent white men get the "mentally ill" excuse. Even more interesting how the victims are people of color.pic.twitter.com/yVs79mi1MZ

Dear Latino people. Watch your surroundings when listening to rap music in public, because a racist white person might walk up behind you and slit your throat. This is America.

@AOC Hate to put you on the spot, but neither of us hold back, so it must be said. You represent NY, birthplace of Hip-Hop. You're also very outspoken on Twitter. It's only right you mention 17-year-old Elijah Al-Amin. Please do something to amplify his story.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I'm absolutely disgusted at how our system doesn't properly take care of the mentally ill in America. But it's even more sickening how white people go out here, get strung out on drugs, fuck their own life up, randomly kill someone (black). Then hide behind mental illness.

Elijah Al-Amin would have turned 18-years-old in two weeks.

Racist white men are out here killing black & latino kids who listen to rap music. This is America. Every rapper should share Elijah's story and at least tweet him a RIP. He died for you.

Since white people want to portray Elijah's killer as a mentally ill victim, let's remind white America just how mentally ill they are. Shackling. Lynching. Burning. Castration. Mutilation. Branding. Beheading. All barbaric ways black people were punished by white slave masters.
