LL Cool J

There are a lot of interesting discussions that can come out from this George Floyd situation. Rapper, turned actor LL Cool J took it in a very random direction by asking what raising biracial children must feel like in a time like this. It was not only a bit strange but many argued that wondering about the well-being of interracial families right now still finds a way to center White feelings of uncomfortable-ness ahead of very real Black pain. Perhaps he meant to speak to the balancing of those feelings or whatever but it was odd.

Furthermore, when he was confronted about the tweet, his reaction was waaaayyy too strong, only drawing more attention to the tweet in the first place.
