MUST WATCH: Black Man’s Explosive Rant to Rioters and Looters in Ferguson Just Went Viral
A normal, everyday citizen produced this video in response to the looting and rioting taking place in Ferguson, Missouri, where a black unarmed, 18-year-old teenager was reportedly shot after an altercation with a police officer.
The video, posted on Johnathan Gentry’s Facebook page, has gone viral and gives a complete and utterly blunt and passionate rebuke of those looting, rioting, and setting businesses on fire.
“I just want to get straight to the point about this Michael Brown incident,” he begins his statement. “What we’re doing out here [rioting, looting] is not helping.”
Gentry then premises his next statement by saying he’s going to say what the black community needs to hear, rather than what they just want to hear, then said, “All we know what to do is blame white folks for our actions,” he passionately said. “I’m sick of it!” he shouted.
“Let’s change as black people!” Gentry said, almost screaming. “How are our kids supposed to grow up when we’re out here acting stupid?” he added.
Gentry calls out black civil rights leaders and activists, mentioning by name the Black Panthers and the NAACP, in an epic rant that sounds as though he’s impersonating MSNBC’s Al Sharpton which would be funny if it weren’t such a serious topic:
“You activists out there, you civil rights leaders…all of a sudden Black Panthers, NAACP come out of the woodworks. They just came out of nowhere, [mocking] ‘Oh, we’re gonna want justice, we want justice–no justice no peace.’ That’s all you see, ‘no justice no peace. Shut up!”“When it was sixty-plus shootings in Chicago a few weeks back, where were you?” he asked. “Nowhere to be found. A few weeks later there were 47 drive-bys [shootings] in one weekend. Where were you? Nowhere to be found.”
“I hate to say this, and I know this is going to piss a lot of people off–all the incidents I’ve seen, are the brothers resisting arrest and causing trouble,” Gentry said.
“I want to debunk that myth that being young and black and mistreated. I’m young, I’m black, I drive a new BMW and live in the valley,” Gentry said, continuing that while he’s had many encounters with the police, none have “gotten out of control.”
Gentry urged the black community to change, making it clear he wasn’t referring to the type of “change” Obama promised during his “hope and change” campaign mantra, but real change.
“It’s time for us to change as black people! I’m not talking about that Obama change, ’cause we’re still waitin’ for that change,” Gentry declared. “That’s a whole nother video,” he said, possibly referring to a sequel. Gentry called Obama a “silly joker.”
Gentry said it’s “time for civil rights leaders to hear from God and get a revelation.”
“Jesus said that blind can’t lead the blind, because they’re both going to fall in the ditch,” Gentry said, paraphrasing the famous words of Jesus from the book of Matthew in the Holy Bible.
“Reverend Al Sharpton, all you leaders out there–NAACP, let’s get it together, because this is embarrassing. The whole country is watching us act like Planet of the Apes, Part III,” he declared, ridiculing the rioters and looters. “Acting like Curious George on Red Bull ain’t helping,” he said.
“It’s embarrassing as black people,” Gentry concluded.
