Queen Latifah Talks Tensions After Shootings | TODAY Show 

“It’s been a week of shocking deaths and mounting tragedy that’s seen two black men killed during interactions with police and five police officers shot to death at what was meant to be a peaceful protest.

On Friday morning, Queen Latifah visited TODAY to discuss the rising tensions across the country and what might just be a way to work past them.

“It’s terrible, but we have to get real about it,” she said of the recent events. “If we get real about it, we can deal with it. But if we want to act like, ‘Oh no, that’s their problem,’ and ‘This only happens here.’

“No, it’s happening to all of us,” the actress and rapper said.”
