A few articles in the Baltimore Sun have come out recently. Both mention inquiries into how much Prince is going to donate and/or how much of his concert ticket revenue will go to local Baltimore youth charities. No response so far. The Tidal livestream brought in $17,000. Not bad at all!! Here are the articles in case anyone gives a shit:

I agree with this. I

I've always thought that Prince was more intelligent than to bow down to pressure from society to fit in. That is exactly what he did with this song. Gray's death is suspect, but Michael Brown brought on his death himself. It's a proven fact. Prince is confusing "Pro-black", which is about being proud of your race for the good they have done/are doing and "Black Lives Matter", which is about villifying the police, don't snitch, overall hood creed. We don't need to glorify that. But, as it turns out, it is too late now...look at the crime going on in Baltimore now, because the police are too afraid to get involved. It comes down to a simple equation...which is the bigger problem? A few rouge cops or the ghetto culture which breeds crime in the first place? Fix one problem, fix the other. Change starts within.

Wow..... this whole post.... nah, no point in refuting. Done it too much over the last few months. All I can say is THIS is worse than Baltimore and I HATE that damn song!
