He also posted on the shop’s @golfwang Instagram about the revolutionary political organisation The Black Panther Party, writing: “BLACK FURY: keep your eyes wide and educate yourself. ( black panther party, 1969)”.
In a comment below the post, he wrote: "and the store is fine, but even if it wasnt, this is bigger than getting some glass fixed and buffing spray paint off, understand what really needs to be fixed out here. stay safe, love."

PROTESTERS AT THE GOLF STORE, Hopefully they realize this is a store ran by a black artist. Either way, the store can be rebuilt but the lives of those lost cannot. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #LosAngelesriots #golfwang @tylerthecreator pic.twitter.com/KQ0CMDysmU
