Rapper Macklemore Uses AMA to Rant About Racial Profiling & Trayvon Martin (Video)

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis won the Rap/Hip-Hop Album award last night at the American Music Awards.

The white rapper accepted his award by satellite from Florida where he preached about racial profiling and Travon Martin.

Macklemore is upset about the “hundreds and hundreds” of children who are murdered each year due to racial profiling(?)
Yahoo-AP reported:

Rather than thanking a list of friends and colleagues, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis used their American Music Awards acceptance speech to send a message of tolerance on Sunday night.

Ben Haggerty, the rapper known as Macklemore, accepted the award for favorite rap/hip-hop album, then quoted Martin Luther King Jr. in a live satellite feed from the rap group’s latest tour stop.

“Due to the fact that we are in Florida tonight accepting this award I want to acknowledge Trayvon Martin and the hundreds and hundreds of kids each year that are dying due to racial profiling and the violence that follows it,” he said. “This is really happening. These are our friends, our neighbors, our peers and our fans, and it’s time that we look out for the youth and fight against racism and the laws that protect it.”

That was just so ignorant.
Of course, he forgot to mention the numerous knock-out attacks by black youths this year.
