12672357, He did blue print. He is not a civil rights advocate or activist

This is the same dude that didn't understand why trying to capitalize on the anti-capitalist protest slogans from occupy-wall street for his clothing line was problematic.
Same dude that let a buncha white folks use his name to dupe people out of affordable housing for the Barclay's center in Brooklyn.
Same dude that tried to remain neutral about racial discrimination at a store where they sell his "urban" clothing line.
Same dude that disrespected Harry Belafonte for calling him to task on activism and said his mere presence is activism.

Like someone said above, Hov is the nigga white folks feel comfortable to call when they want to appear engaged with "urban" folks so they can get over. He gets paid off letting them use his image. He's not the nigga I want talking to the governor about them killing black people in the streets like dogs.
How bout we have someone that is actually versed in civil rights,human rights, and criminal justice reform.
