Even though days have passed since the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, celebrities are still voicing their disgust in a justice system that seems to be trying to eliminate our black men and women by any means necessary .
Now industry greats like Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Taraji P. Henson, Pharell, Common, Rihanna and more have taken another stand with a powerful video called “23 Ways You Could Be Killed If You’re Black in America.”
The almost three minute video starts off with Alicia Keys saying, “failing to signal in a lane change” highlighting the circumstances surrounding the death of Sandra Bland. Beyonce goes on to say, “riding in your girlfriend’s car with a child in the backseat” speaking on the death of Philando Castile.
Many other celebrities including Chris Rock, Chance the Rapper, A$AP Rocky, Lenny Kravitz, Adam Levine, Jennifer Hudson, Jangle Monae, Queen Latifah… the list goes on… followed in the same fashion, describing the innocent black lives lost at the hands of the police.
