The Game speaks out against police brutality and the recent Sean Bell verdict on the new track '911 is a Joke,' which the rap star will premiere on his new website ThisizGame.com. "I'm outraged and speaking out for my generation that are afraid to speak out against police brutality and murder," the Game said in a recent interview. No stranger to gang violence and communities often struggling with poor relationship with the police, the Game knows all too well how it feels to fear authorities. "I grew up in Compton and had to stay silent because of the fear that was prevalent in my community, but now that I have a voice I'm speaking out," the rapper said.
The rapper dedicates the new track to Bell, who was shot 50 times by three New York City detectives on his wedding day. "This could have easily been me, my brother, my family. So this song is for Sean Bell from my heart," the Game explained. "My deepest condolences goes out to his family and wife, Nicole Bell."

White people just dont get it! INJUSTICE! How many times have you seen on the news a white man (person) and his friends leaving an event (from anywhere) at anytime (night or day) and the cops followed them and sprayed their car with bullets? NEVER! Whites are not subjected to that type of treatment, bottom line. Its unfair and it happens more then it should and the people who do it, always get away with their actions! Cant you guys understand that! Not all BLACK people are thugs, drug dealers, theifs etc. We live lives, have goals, families to. As human beings, we ALL should be outraged! However as a black perosn I take offense because it could of been MY brother, MY cousin or MY friend. White people really dont have to worry about it being one of them!

Before The Game, and most of these cats, can do a tribute track for Sean Bell, how about they stop glorifying and caking off the music they've done about black on black hustlin and murder. How about we start there before all the sudden becoming righteous? C'mon people. This isn't a black/white issue. This is Cops against the people issue. Don't forget half the cops involved were themselves afro-american. When you turn on TV, how many crime dramas, drug busts and graphic murder scenes do we have? When you watch the news, the first thing they report is how many killings there've been in the day, like that's ok -- ordinary day in the life. C'mon man. It's deeper than Sean Bell. It's deeper than Dialo. You gotta see the bigger picture here and you all need to be more selective and vocal about what the media and your neighbor feed you. It's been going on for centuries. Time to wake up.
PS: 2 Live Crew didn't do "911 Is A Joke". It was Flavor Flav before he disgraced Public Enemy's 10-year legacy.

Dude is speaking the Truth, and you people with the ignorant comments dont kno anything about racism because you have never experianced it, when you get some money and fame like The Game, then you can open ya mouth till then chew on ya gumbs, thats the problem with our people (Blacks) we dont stick together through nothin, thats why we aint ever gonna go nowhere.
