Chuck D thinks ''every single emotion'' young people are currently experiencing is justified.
The 59-year-old rapper has admitted he's struggling to contain his own emotions following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the race riots in the US.
The Public Enemy star reflected: ''My statements are politically incorrect.
''It will not behove anybody for me to say these things. They're really incendiary and they're not helpful. It's not conducive.
''When you don't feel good about saying what you really feel you should say, you shouldn't say anything at all. Older people know that.''
Chuck empathises with the pain and anger of young people, insisting their reaction in recent days has been ''justified''.
He told HipHopDX: ''If you don't really feel it's conducive to say certain things, you just stay f***ing quiet until you find the right words for it. And right now, there are no words for this s**t.
''I got no voice at this moment, because every single emotion young people have is justified right now. It's emotion.''
