Friday, December 26, 2014
Jonathan Gentry's video appeared on Facebook in August after riots broke out in Ferguson, MI, following the shooting of Michael Brown. Gentry, who is a minister criticized the black community for their actions. His words are more relevant than ever now that Ferguson and other cities have once again erupted into violence.
“This is not helping,” Gentry exclaimed. “Change isn’t going to come until we change it. All we know how to do is march and riot and loot. This is not helping. What you are out here doing is not helping.”
“I’m going to tell you what you need to hear, opposing to what you want to hear. All we know to do is blame the police and white folks for our actions. That’s all we know how to do, blame white folks. They beating on us. Oh, slavery still exists. I’m sick of it. I’m sick of it.”
