July 13, 2016. Leave a Comment

Mic Media has partnered with Alicia Keyes on a poignant video titled “23 Ways You Could Be Killed If You’re Black in America,” featuring 26 celebrities listing high profile deaths of black men and women killed by police, vigilantes or white supremacists while going about mundane activities. Individuals include Sandra Bland, Philando Castile, Ramarley Graham, Eric Garner, Oscar Grant III, Gregg Gunn, Freddie Gray, Alton Sterling, Trayvon Martin, Mario Woods, Laquan McDonald, Samuel Dubose, Tamir Rice, Walter L. Scott, Sean Bell, Akai Gurley, Renisha McBride, India M. Beaty, Cynthia Marie Graham Hurd, Susie Jackson, Ethel Lee Lance, Depayne Middleton-Doctor, Clementa C. Pinckney, Tywanza Sanders, Daniel Simmons, Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, Myra Thompson, John Crawford III, Rekia Boyd, Amadou Diallo, Jamar Clark,

Filmed in black and white, each celebrity lists the activity the deceased were in the midst of before being killed followed by an image of the individual, starting with Alicia Keyes, who recites “failing to signal a lane change” for Sandra Bland, who died in prison in Texas under suspicious circumstances in July of last year.

Keyes is followed by Beyoncé, Chris Rock, Pink, Talib Kweli, Janelle Monáe, Chance, Taraji B. Henson, Pharrell, Common, Queen Latifah, Kevin Hart, Rosario Dawson, Swizz Beatz, Lenny Kravitz, Zoë Kravitz, ASAP Rocky, Jada Pinkett Smith, Bono, Jennifer Hudson, Van Jones, Tracee Ellis Ross, Adam Levine, Maxwell and Rihanna.

The video was inspired by an article written by Mic senior editor Jamilah King, who wrote, “I did this to prove a point: There is a tax on black life in America, and we are better than this.” Keyes aided in bringing the celebrity contributions, and closed out the video with a call to action, asking watchers to contact Congress and President Obama, saying, “We demand radical transformation to  heal the long history of systemic racism so that all Americans have the equal right to live and pursue happiness.”

INSANE STORY AHEAD: Lady Gaga's dog walker was sho INSANE STORY AHEAD: Lady Gaga's dog walker was shot in Los Angeles by individual who then stole two of three of her French Bulldogs! The crime took place at 10 PM on Wednesday night in Hollywood. 

According to a recent TMZ update, crime scene video has emerged showing a white car rolling up on the dog walker. Two men emerge from the vehicle and one, who is brandishing a gun, tells the dog walker, "Give it up."

The dog walker put up a fight (!!) before the gun goes off, striking him in the chest. The two thiefs each grab one dog and flee the scene. In the video, the black dog shown here, whose name is Asia, manages to escape and is shown running back to the fallen dog walker. 

Gaga, who is currently in Rome working on a project, is currently offering at $500,00 award for the safe return of Koji and Gustav (on the slide). The dog walker was hospitalized but thankfully will recover.
