Dear Cardi B,

I know you didn't ask to be a role model.
I know you're entitled to have and hold your own opinions.
But at some point you bear responsibility for those emulating you for their actions.

When you look at the violence in Minneapolis and try to justify it, you do two things. First, you suggest that people of color are some how incapable of responding in a rational way to events. Before you take offense, remember that in this same city a woman named Justine Damond called the police because she thought she was witnessing domestic violence. During that event, the first Somali cop hired shot and killed Justine. Justine was white and the cop was black.
Were there riots of white people?
Did white people loot stores and steal big screen TVs?
Did white people set fire to schools, stores and a police station?
Please explain how this is in any way justified.
It's almost like saying you believe people of color are incapable of behaving any other way.

Secondly you give rioters a justification, flimsey as it is, for criminal activity.. I believe you said "It is What it is."

What it is is this: More than 125 businesses torches and looted. 190 residents waiting for affordable housing are now without that option thanks to arsonists parading as social justice warriors. All those jobs lost. Three different Target stores looted. Numerous smaller stores, some owned and run by people of color, destroyed. And all those jobs gone for the time being or maybe forever. After being torched and looted twice, CVS didn't rebuild in Ferguson. Neither did the hairdresser who worked for years to build her clientele. The same thing will happen in Minneapolis and all they need is celebrities like you throwing gasoline on the fire.

Before you blame Trump, remember that Minneapolis is run by Democrats.
The governor of Minnesota is a Democrat
Keith Ellison, the AG of Minnesota, is both Muslim and a Democrat.
Amy Klobuchar, who had been a prosecutor in Minnesota is a Democrat. And as a prosecutor she avoided going after police behaving badly.
Why would she do that? Why would they all do that?

I'll tell you why. Because UNION votes matter more than BLACK votes. Minnesota is a UNION stronghold. Their teachers, firefighters, public workers and COPS are all card carrying union members. Klobuchar, the Minneapolis mayor and the governor all belong to the most far Left version of the Democrat party and they embrace organizing as a means to achieve socialism. You may think you like socialism and even be promoting it as an alternative, but you haven't endured real socialism yet. Real socialism will tell you what to say, what to sing, what to do and can take it all away in a heartbeat if you don't conform. Cardi B, I'm not a fan. I know you like to parade around as some sort of limit breaking rebel but the fact is you are more a product of consumerism than anyone and every thing you promote says this. When the smoke clears, maybe you should have a long talk with the residents who didn't riot-the ones whose lives were immeasurably changed by a couple of thousand hedonists on the take. Trump didn't do this-Democrats did. Maybe it's time to wake up and smell the coffee. The party's over.
