The internet is full of assholes, but today Schoolboy Q decided to not allow a distasteful tweet go without response. In the wake of a police officer shooting Jacob Blake in the back seven times, a right wing troll decided to comment that Blake was a criminal under Schoolboy's tweet.

Because it's not a black issue. Jacob black is a wanted criminal has violent past and u guys treat him like a hero. Even his mother is against the looting and protests.

Schoolboy decided to respond to the tweet, saying that if people weren't allowed second chances he wouldn't be where he is today.

WHat doesn’t exist is black on black crime but someHow CRIME is Held 2 a different standard for us 🤔 so leave me alone and don’t talk to me about systemic racism https://t.co/R1AIgrHuZC

However, since it usually isn't possible to change people's opinions on the internet, the initial tweeter responded again by saying that it's not the fault of the system that someone makes a bad decision, and that systemic racism isn't real. Q then responded to that tweet, explaining how the rhetoric of black-on-black crime is a tool used against the Black community.

I Love You its pretty simple
