Jay-Z’s Remarks on Broken Homes, Crime, Upsets The Left

Daily Signal: Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z is drawing belated condemnation on Twitter for attributing “adverse feeling for authority” to fatherless households during a panel discussion on social justice earlier this year.

Videos of the rapper—whose given name is Shawn—discussing single-parent households on a race-relations panel recently surfaced and went viral.

In the clip from the January discussion, Jay-Z, 49, remarked that fatherless homes cause boys to rebel against the police and “people to lose lives” when interacting with police.

“You think about the idea of growing up in a single-parent house, which I grew up in … and having an adverse feeling for authority,” said Jay-Z, the first billionaire hip-hop artist and entrepreneur.

“Your father’s gone, so you’re like, ‘I hate my dad. Don’t nobody tell me what to do,” he said. “I’m the man of the house. And then you hit the street, and you run into a police officer, and his first thing is ‘Put your hands up, freeze, shut up … you like … F— you!’”

He added, “That interaction causes people to lose lives.” keep reading
