Questlove describes the first time he was harassed by police, as a young teenager in Philadelphia on his way to Bible study, to the most recent: being pulled over in his car by the NYPD two weeks ago, despite being one of the most acclaimed artists in hip-hop. He also discusses the message he took away as an African-American male from the acquittal of George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin: "You're guilty no matter what, and you just now have to figure out a way to make everyone feel safe and everyone feel comfortable, even if it's at the expense of your own soul."<br /> <br /> See the full interview with Ahmir "Questlove" Thomson here: <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/appearances/ah...tl">www.democracynow.org/appearances/ah...tl</a>­ove_thompson<br /> <br /> Democracy Now!, is an independent global news hour that airs weekdays on 1,200+ TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
