fears Atlanta's black community will see a spike in COVID-19 deaths IF the city reopens for biz Friday, so he's begging ATL ..."Don't fall for the okie doke.", giving the state the green light to open barbershops, hair and nail salons, tattoo parlors, bowling alleys and several other businesses. But, Jermaine -- an ATL and hip-hop icon -- says it's too early, and it's the wrong image for his city's black community.
He did acknowledge the challenges of quarantine, and said he does understand why people want to get out, but added the stakesThe NAACP is going even further than Jermaine, directly calling Gov. Kemp's decision"reckless and unilateral." The org. says Kemp is placing"at risk communities in direct danger" of contracting COVID-19, and it's calling on citizens to push back ... and stay home.
Jermaine is also calling on Atlanta's black community to use the power of the"black dollar" by NOT spending at reopened businesses. His bottom line --"What I want you to understand is they expecting us to die. We don't have to go that way."
In Jesus Name, Amen
this goes for everyone
I'm surprised how some are ignorant on here worried about someone's finances thinking it's the 🗝 to being immune to a virus..stupid fu🤬
When you start listening to celebrities for advice it’s time to turn off the tv

Right message. Wrong person.

LBoogy31 Funny thing...staying home can kill you. Enough fear mongering. Go out and get some sun ☀️ enjoy your life. You can do it safely.

He’s got plenty of money. Easy for him to say.
Dear black people, I know Blackface is racist, but is it ok to colour in people with black skin in colouring BOOKS, the reason I’m asking is because I have a colouring book of angels and fairies and I just think some of them angels and fairies would look better with darker skin.
Who tf is dying? Stop spreading misinformation.
So So Right 💯
Jermaine will be well-rewarded by the Global Elites who own/control Hollywood. But I'm thinking that most people regardless of their politics or any BS polling want their Constitutional liberties/protections fully restored—and want to get back to work so they can PAY THEIR BILLS.
so touching for multi-millionaires who don't have to sustain a business to survive what to do.
Bored to death
Wtf stay home
You do realize that if the city opens you still can stay home if you scarred right 😒
