Activist/Rapper #KillerMike offers a POWERFUL speech in light of the #AtlantaProtests & #GeorgeFloyd MURDER! [Vid]

Leave a comment

When Activist, Scholar, actor, rapper Killer Mike was coerced to speak, I’m almost certain CNN was hoping he would corral the ‘troops’ and URGE us all to go home. Stop the LOOTING, stop the destruction, and go home. He did that….and so much more.

He asked for a call to order..a charge to the powers that be to STOP, THINK and LISTEN. Rebellion comes out of oppression. Rebellion comes out of frustration. Rebellion comes out of systemic, blatant RACISM that we see, endure and cultivate EVERY DAY.

Killer Mike nee’ Michael Render said, “It is your duty to not burn down your own house down for anger with an enemy.” Truth. If you burn down your home, where do rest to regroup, reenergize and to strategize to fight for justice again. We have to fight again and again and again until our cries are heard. Listen to his moving, passionate and empowering words:

State police detained CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez, his producer and his photojournalist shortly after 5 a.m. CT (6 a.m. ET) as Jimenez was reporting live from a street south of downtown, near where a police precinct building was earlier set ablaze.

90-yr old grandmother tries to diffuse situation as Texas police draw weapons on #TyeAnders for running a stop sign! [Vid]

Police!? All of this for running a stop sign? Is this JUST?

A 21-year-old black man justifiably panicked when several cops pulled guns on him and repeatedly screamed, “Show me your hands” … even though he was clearly already showing them.

The incident played out in Midland, Texas on May 16 but video of the arrest started circulating late last week. It’s going viral now due to George Floyd’s deadly arrest in Minneapolis, because it underscores the tense dynamic between African-Americans and police … even during something as minor as running a stop sign.
