Music News: AIC's William DuVall Says He Was Detained Because of Race

The news just seems to keep getting worse and worse lately - that is, if you're black. And apparently, being rich and a rockstar doesn't help.

New Alice in Chains frontman William DuVall claims he was detained outside his West Hollywood home for 30+ minutes. Here's the tweet:

 DuVall's use of the hashtag #AliveWhileBlack further makes the point that race played a part.

This is my take on the whole thing: if a white officer choking a man to death - ON TAPE - isn't enough to get him convicted, I don't know what will be. I'm appalled by the unrestrained, racist brutality of some police officers, and their continued ability to get away with it. The video of Eric Garner makes me sick. People who think racism is dead need to wake up. And the rest of us should be doing what we can to get rid of it.
