In frustration, Clarkson expressed his feelings during a club party. “N****s killed my motherf**kin’ uncle, n****. F**k that. Why we doin’ this s**t? Why we doing it? Why we killing each other? Why we killing black people, n****?” He continued, “Why the f**k we doing that s**t? Why we hating on all the black people, that’s successful? F**k that s**t. That’s my motherf**kin’ uncle,” Clarkson yelled to the crowd.
