Nas Compared America Of today To Aparthied South Africa Of Yesterday



 New York rapper, Nas, has compared the current climate of America as the black police continues to victimized nigg*z, to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. The lyricist also stated that it’s not okay for the country “to look like apartheid South Africa.”

Here’s what Nas dropped:

“We may have read about the Civil Rights movement, but you didn’t live it. You may have read about lynchings in Mississippi and Alabama, but you didn’t live through it. It was before this generation’s time, before my time. Now you get to see it. Something that’s always been going on. Something that’s been going on entirely too long. It’s not cool to look like apartheid South Africa in 1988. How are we going to be the free world or the most powerful country when inside this country we’re fighting because of skin color? That’s just embarrassing. I’m one of the guys that’s out there saying, Listen, it has to stop.”
