Rapper Jay Park (Park Jaebum) has donated $10,000 to a human rights group in anger over recent crackdown of black people in the U.S

Jay Park posted a photo of George Floyd, a black man that was killed due to over-suppression by US police and wrote, "Sick of making posts like this and sick of the same s*** happening over and over again. Me being inspired by black culture aside, me having black homies aside, just as a man and a human being...to think how helpless he felt and how inhuman he was treated...to think what if that was my dad, or uncle, or homie makes me sick to my stomach."

Jay Park went on to express his anger writing, "Countless INNOCENT UNARMED people losing their lives and nobody taking responsibility or being help accountable. People in positions of power not doing anything to provoke change...all of it makes me sick...the whole system is corrupt. Can't even begin to fathom how fed up the black community is with so many years of abuse."

On the same day, Jay stated on his Twitter account, "just donated 10k (~12.4 million KRW). Pray to God the truth prevails," and posted a link to the human rights group. 

The link he posted was of a website of an organization that raised funds for the protection of black human rights. The group thanked Jay for his donation saying, "Thank you for your contribution."

Meanwhile, the FBI has fired the four police officers involved in the abuse after public criticism of the police's excessive crackdown. However, the wave of protests by angry citizens has intensified, spreading from Minneapolis to other major cities such as Chicago and Houston.
