Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson issued a blistering denouncement of Donald Trump's leadership amid nationwide protests supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.

Dwayne Johnson arrives to the LAFH Awards at The Lot in West Hollywood on April 5, 2018 in West Hollywood, Calif.issued a blistering denouncement of Donald Trump's leadership amid nationwide protests supporting the Black Lives Matter movement on Wednesday .

"Where are you? Where is our leader?" the star -- who is black and Samoan -- asked in his emotional video as he stared down the camera."Where is our leader at this time ... when our country is down on its knees, begging, pleading, hurt, angry, frustrated, in pain, begging and pleading with its arms out? Just wanting to be heard. Begging and pleading and praying for change? ... Where is our compassionate leader who's gonna step up to our country ...

During the nearly nine-minute-long video, The Rock also clapped back at the racist sentiment behind the"All Lives Matter" response to the protests."Of course all lives matter," he said."Every single one, all lives matter, because we as Americans, we believe in inclusivity. We believe in acceptance; we believe in human rights. We believe in equality for all. That's what we believe in, so of course all lives matter.

The star's call for compassion also included asking the president point blank to take"full accountability" in leading the effort to solve systemic racism rather than calling for military force against protesters in cities such as Washington, D.C., and New York City.in 2016 for his song"You're Welcome" from."I am not a politician and I've never, clearly, been elected to office, and I am not the president of the United States.

He concluded:"So as we continue to wait for that leader to emerge, I would recommend to all of you that we must become the leaders we're looking for. We become our own leaders. 'Cause we're doing it now. We're doing it now. We must become the leaders we are looking for."

Stunning and brave

Get out of your Hollywood bubble and watch President Trump’s tribute to George Floyd on YouTube. You won’t see anything positive about President Trump on democrat controlled mainstream media and social media

I wonder if the rock will denounce what George did to a pregnant lady back in 2009.....

i loved it!!!
