Run The Jewels - Walking In The Snow (Live at Holy Calamavote)

[@joshuawashington758]

That pause at "I can't breathe" sent chills down my spine man.

[@godalm8y]

I play this song all the time, and that part always impacts me, but the pause here & A cappella part made me cry just reflecting over this crazy year and how too many George Floyds there have already been :-(

Twitter never did anything right. You can't fix injustice with hashtags and we need people to stop believing that...

[@ZaneofAustin]

@@falcon8752 lol it's not twitter it's the users, "truely the travesty, you've been robbed of your empathy and replaced it with apathy" people will post a tweet in 2 seconds but god forbid you try to get them to change their life to better other people, cause apparently when it comes to action the only ones they're willing to take involve 144 characters on a tweet instead of getting out into society and realizing HOW what you do affects everyone else.

@@MrProfchaos71 So?

[@MrProfchaos71]

@@classiestbogan when you say shit like that... and vote for fake black people... you are basically saying there is nothing unique about the experience of African American peoples in this country. That the struggles of such people haven’t given them a unique perspective on a lot of things. You are saying all that matters is they have a little melanin in their skin.... that’s good enough to make you happy. I’m a conservative....libertarian. I’d vote for an actual African American president... raised in America by African American parents ... and a solid connection to the civil rights era and movement. You people need an MLK in office... or a Malcolm X... but you keep slobbering all over commies that are either not of any African descent whatsoever and lie about it... or half Kenyan Marxist grifters raised by commie whites.
