The singer said Trump holds the most powerful office in the world, yet offers 'nothing but ignorance and prejudice.'
"The voices of the black community have been silenced for too long and that silence has proven deadly time and time again. And no matter what they do to protest, that are still met with no compassion by the leaders that are meant to protect them.
" "Everyday people in America are racist, that's a fact," Gaga noted, and said it was a"critical time" for the black community to be supported by others"so we can put a stop to something that is intrinsically wrong." She added:"I urge people to speak gently to each other, speak with passion, inspiration, and impress the importance of this issue until the systems that keep us sick die, instead of people we love. We MUST show our love for the black community."

"This isn't justice. This is an epic tragedy that defines our country and has for a long time. I am sad. I am angry. And I will use the words that I can find to try to communicate what needs to change in as an effective and non-violent way as possible for me.", criticizing him for"stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism" throughout his presidency.
