Chris Brown Vs. Donald Trump: ‘F*** Trump!’ Singer Declares, Calls On Black People To Defend Themselves
Chris Brown, the 26-year-old R&B singer, posted an angry reaction to a series of racial attacks at Donald Trump campaign rallies on his official Instagram account Thursday, in which the controversial star, who has faced allegations of violence of his own, called on African-American people to defend themselves by attending Trump rallies in large groups and challenging the overwhelmingly white crowds there to “keep touching us, motherf*****!”
The profanity-laced tirade from Chris Brown came a day after video emerged from a Trump rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, showing a white man, later identified as 78-year-old John McGraw, throwing an unprovoked punch at 26-year-old African-American protester Rakeem Jones.
Later interviewed by the media, McGraw not only expressed no regret over the “sucker punch,” he appeared celebratory and threatened to escalate the violence.
“You bet I liked it. Knocking the hell out of that big mouth,” McGraw said. “He deserved it. The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don’t know who he is. He might be with a terrorist organization.”

The incident was only the latest in a series of attacks on African-American attendees at Trump events. In several cases, the victims were not protesting but said they showed up simply out of curiosity.
Despite previously claiming that “African-Americans love me… They’re gonna like me better than they like Obama,” Trump has also encouraged the violence at his rallies, violence which is frequently directed at African-American attendees.
“Knock the crap out of ’em, would you? Seriously. Okay?” he exhorted a crowd at one recent Trump rally in one of a series of similar proclamations from his pulpit.
“Just knock the hell — I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise. I promise.”
Chris Brown posted his video response on Instagram Thursday, along with a lengthy, profanity-laden caption. Watch his video below, but readers should be cautioned that the language used by Chris Brown contains potentially offensive language.
At the same Donald Trump rally in North Carolina on Wednesday, East Carolina University student Adedayo Adeniyi said that he was “targeted” even though he sat silently through the proceedings and was simply there to observe, not to protest.
Adeniyi posted video of his incident as well, which can be viewed below.
“It was all just a product of being black at a Trump rally,” Adeniyi later said. “Basically in that environment I’m guilty by association.”
In his written caption to the Instagram video, Chris Brown lashed out at Donald Trump, as well as at American culture in general, for its treatment of black workers and artists.
“F*** TRUMP AND F*** THE PIGS,” he posted. “THIS EVIL S*** IS SO WRONG! GOD WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE! TRUST ME!”
Brown continued, saying that white Americans have not appreciated the contributions of black people to American culture.
“People are so afraid to say s*** because y’all just find a way to kill our leaders!!!! WHO THE F*** U THINK CLEANS YOUR HOTELS AND WORKS HARD TO FEED A WHOLE FAMILY. US! YOU A B***H, ALWAYS BEEN A P***Y!”
At the 12th Republican presidential debate, held Thursday night in Miami, Florida, Trump was asked directly about violence at his rallies, and while saying he did not “condone” the incidents, the GOP frontrunner appeared to justify the violent actions of his followers.

“People come with tremendous passion and love for their country,” Trump explained, describing the attendees at his rallies.
“When they see what’s going on in this country, they have anger that’s unbelievable. They have anger. They love this country. They don’t like seeing bad trade deals,” Trump continued. They don’t like seeing higher taxes. They don’t like seeing a loss of their jobs…. There’s some anger. There’s also great love for the country. It’s a beautiful thing in many respects.”
