Aries Spears Admits Struggle With Religion After Witnessing Police Brutality & Racism

[@dexterforeman]

Aries Spears is a great man because he realize one thing. That most black people with money do not realize.That is.... NO ONE PERSON CAN RISE ABOVE THE CONDITION OF THERE PEOPLE!!!!!!

[@jerryloft3008]

You'd be better off if you thought of yourself as American instead a black person. So would Aries.

[@terryknight5869]

Absolutely, and just to add to your point, at the beginning of Aries's point when he called out the bad cops he stated that not all cops are bad. With all due respect to Aries, I'm tired of people saying not all cops are bad when addressing the crap that bad cops do. When we call out the crap that bad men do to women nobody says not all men are bad, so by that same logic don't say that not all cops are bad.

[@akken2112]

His unconditional support of Barrack Hussein Obama, a politician who did nothing to raise the condition of African-Americans, nullifies Spears' so-called "great man" status.

[@Valkonnen]

It's "their" and you should talk to Oprah or maybe Tyler Perry about the $1 Billion dollars that his films and show earned for HIM. Or listen to Dick Gregory when he says "When you tell yourself that the world is out to get you, 700,000 cells in your body hear that and will act accordingly with you EVER knowing it."

I love Aries honesty in his interviews. Regardless of the toughness of the subject, he always speaks his truth. Yes, it may get him into trouble and yes, it may cause him to be ostracized by the industry, but I respect the rebel in him. Plus, he is notably one of the funniest, well informed and prepared comics in the world. His nod to Public Enemy was dope and his thoughts on Black people, religion and God is spot on. Keep being true to who you are brother Aries. We see you. Big nod!

[@akken2112]

Spears is street smart and often funny, but he really needs some political education. His unconditional support of Barrack Obama leads me to question how really conscious he really is. He seems more like the field slave fighting to get in the house as opposed to leading a rebellion.

Spears is so real he'd rather walk his own path alone than to follow behind people who choose to live with the mysteries of God and religion as a collective whole. At this point in life how could anyone fault him for it.🤔 I clearly understand what he's saying. Fear is how black people got to where we are now and it's the same fear that will continue to keep us forever slaves, it's really that simple. At some point in life you're going to have to be willing to die for what you know is right and if God has a problem with it then God possesses the power to change it. At least that's what we are being told to believe anyway. I look at it like this in the midst of slavery slaves were locked in chains and transported by boat and that comes as no surprise. The thing people seem to overlook is that these slave masters already seemed to know what the future was already going to be long before they even had the blueprints to manufacture the chains to capture the slaves in the first place. All these evil things happened without any consequences. So you do the math. If you don't believe that life is already predetermined then you're absolutely delusional, you can believe that like you believe in Jesus. I choose to walk my own path and do things my way because following behind others will get you absolutely nowhere, I Promise You That!!!!!👌
