She's often criticized for sharing information about conspiracy theories, making her a target for naysayers who dismiss her opinions, but Summer Walker's recent remarks about the Black community have caused a social media discussion. The Over It hitmaker uploaded a screenshot of a response she had to an Instagram user who gave their thoughts on the political arena. "The whole system is corrupt," the user wrote. "Burn everything down." While this isn't an uncomment sentiment, Summer chimed in to disagree with the person and gave her assessment on why the Black community is struggling.

Black people have no unity. we want everyone one else support but won't support each other but nobody wants to hear all that. so unorganized."
