Meek Mill and Waka Flocka Flame Respond to Donald Trump’s Comments on Baltimore Riots

The escalating situation going on in Baltimore has captivated the country and once again shined the limelight on the ugly relationship between the police and African-Americans in America. Not one to keep his mouth shut, Donald Trump has weighed in and, unsurprisingly, ruffled feathers with his comments. Taking to Twitter to voice his opinion, Trump pointed the finger at Obama and deemed all those protesting in the streets of Baltimore as "thugs":

After getting wind of Trump's off-color remarks, Meek Mill and Waka Flocka Flame weighed in on the billionaire. Meek, who is from Philadelphia, which is about 100 miles from Baltimore, called out Trump for being a racist while Flocka kept things much more simple:

Clearly emotionally impacted by the events in Baltimore, Meek Mill also took to Instagram and detailed his own experiences with the police as a teenager:

Lips swollen .... Stitches in both swollen eyes! One of my braids ripped out! I weighed about 130 at the time And I was found guilty of assaulting cops! It's clear 2 see I was punched and stomped by a few cops! If I wasn't blessed the way I am I still would have hatred in my heart towards cops but I forgave bcuz I know all cops ain't the same! 2 "black cops" got on the stand and lied and cried about how I chased them down with a gun and tried to kill them! I caught that case at 18 and was stripped of my freedom and taken away from my family 4 times for the same case and still on probation.. 1 step away from jail if I make one mistake! I can't blame my judge because the law labels cops as "expert witnesses" and it was cops against a black kid and she's suppose to believe a cops testimony first!! I never got a chance to speak to my judge about this from young man to woman and I hope she sees this to help other young men that won't b able to make it thru what I made it thru! After I caught the case I had no choice to hustle in the streets to get a good lawyer aka a good liar to help me get my freedom!
