“I’m sorry, I don’t buy the racism. Last time I looked I was black," she says, glancing down at an ebony arm. “I’m still black. It’s an excuse."

When people talk to her about racist cops, she rolls her eyes. “Racism in the police? I’ve heard it all. I’ve even heard that police have killed some of these kids and paid other kids to do the killing. I don’t buy it. The fact is that police are here to serve and protect us."

Views like that have made her a controversial and often lonely figure. When she held a news conference on Friday to introduce rappers who were going to foreswear the use of guns in their music and videos, precisely one rapper showed up – and he said rap was not to blame for gun violence.




(basically the globe and mail were sent an email from Kemi promising a news story when in fact only one rapper shows up and pretty much denounces Kemi in front of the media LOL)
