It’s not often that I agree with a man whose face is full of tattoos and a shiny diamond grill, but rapper Lil Wayne made an excellent point about Black Lives Matter.

He recently sat down with Linsey Davis for an ABC News Nightline interview and was asked to comment on the BLM movement.

“What’s your thoughts on Black Lives Matter?” Davis asked.

“What is it? What do you mean?” Wayne responded.

Davis explained that the movement peddles the idea that black lives don’t matter in America. This brought about a very colorful response from the rapper:

“That just sounds weird. I don’t even know that you put a name on it. It’s not a name. It’s not ‘whatever, whatever.’ It’s somebody got shot by a policeman for a f***ed up reason. I am a young, black, rich motherf***er. If that don’t let you know that America understand black motherf***ers matter these days, I don’t know what it is. That man white; he filmin’ me. I’m a n*gger. I don’t know what you mean, man. Don’t come at me with that dumb sh*t, ma’am. My life matter, especially to my bitches.”

There’s a great point lying in there somewhere. Lil Wayne is saying that being one of many extremely rich and successful rappers shows that America is spending lots of its money on black entertainment and thereby can’t really be classified as racist like so many people are saying. He said a similar thing in another interview back in September:

“God knows, I have been nothing but blessed. My whole path; these 33 years have been nothing but a blessing. I have never — and never is a strong word — never dealt with racism.”

Wayne added that seeing so many white faces in his audience leads him to believe that racism is over. And when he doubled down on these conclusions in his Nightline interview, Davis was surprised he felt no connection to the BLM movement.

“I don’t feel connected to a damn thing that ain’t got nothin’ to do with me,” Wayne said. “If you do, you crazy as sh*t — you!”

This subject matter pushed Wayne to the edge, and he walked out, saying, “I ain’t no f***ing politician” and removed his mic. But not before he pulled out a red bandana and spouted off this oddity:

“I’m connected to this f***ing flag right f***ing here, because I’m connected. I’m a gangbanger now. I’m connected.”

Your guess is as good as mine on that one. But still, acknowledging the successes of countless rappers, black actors, comedians, politicians, judges, lawyers, small business owners — you name it — is pretty solid proof that America isn’t the racist country it’s made out to be. Too bad Black Lives Matter ignores the many blessings blacks enjoy in this country.
