Tyga has become the latest celebrity to speak out against the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.

Both of these African-American men were shot dead by police this week.

On Tuesday, Sterling’s life was taken despite the fact that he was being held down to the ground by officers at the time of his shooting.

A day later, Castile was killed while in the car with a woman and child.

The backlash against these deaths, which are merely the latest in a string of white police officers killing black citizens on the street, has been strong and swift.

Beyonce, for example, pushed for action and respect.

Drake, meanwhile, shared an open letter online regarding the tragedies.

On Thursday night, a protest in Dallas turned deadly with two snipers killed a multitude of police officers.

It’s a very troubling, scary time in America.

Prior to the aforementioned Dallas shooting, Tyga took to Twitter in order to share his thoughts on the racial strife.

"I’m no politician but I know right from wrong. What is it going to take for innocent black people to stop being murdered by the police," he wrote.

"We think this is bad if we don’t get out and vote and Donald Trump gets in office we’re really f—ed!! Black lives matter!! All lives matter!!"

Tyga included with the message the photo we’ve shared above.

On his hands, the rapper has written the words "Don’t" and "Shoot."

He continued:

"They don’t give a f–k if you innocent they’ll kill you and say you was guilty. There’s no justice being served.

"How would I look to raise my son in this world and teach him to honor a badge when we’re being taught to say f–k the police at a young age?

"All we see if people that sworn to protect and serve dishonor that and murder black men, sooner or later we’re gonna start taking s–t into our own hands!!"

That last point is a dangerous point to express.

But, in general, it’s easy to see where the frustration and anger stems from.

In light of the Sterling and Castile killings, President Barack Obama released a statement of his own.

“When incidents like this occur, there’s a big chunk of our citizenry that feels as if, because of the color of their skin, they are not being treated the same, and that hurts, and that should trouble all of us,” he said last night upon arriving in Warsaw for a NATO summit.

“This is not just a black issue, not just a Hispanic issue. This is an American issue that we all should care about."
