This man (Killer Mike) speaks Pure Truth. Do Not Back down, because you sir are Louder than a Bomb !
Blacks and native Americans are the best example of what happens to ppl that are unarmed.
natives weren't unarmed, we were out classed by weaponry, numbers, and disease
Jiles Rodriguez
Doesn't matter what you had. You obviously didn't have enough of it because you lost. No civilization should be unarmed.
ray hanes a gun can't stop small pox so it did matter
Jiles Rodriguez mostly diseases though...I mean overwhelmingly even.
Commanches,just to name them,kicked white,mexican and other tribes asses for a long time and there's nothing that anybody could do about it either, for a fairly long amount of time.
galoobigboi
I agree with all you guys. We can't let history repeat itself.
This man should've never apologized for his interview with colin
What an intelligent, insightful, powerful man!!
“Guns...they bring people together.” Listen, freedom loving Americans that own guns want all people including the black population in this country to exercise their rights as citizens of this great nation. Statistically proven that people with carry permits cause less crime than COPS! Let that sink in.
Don’t get it twisted-Killer Mike disavowed NRA. He needs to be reminded that he said this.
Just joined
Hello Mr. Smiley! I watched this interview in it's entirety when it aired, I'm a fan of your program:-) Is there any way you could post the entire interview here publicly? Killer Mike was truly inspirational! Thank you and have a great day!
Mike working for the NRA now. Its so clear.
Great Show
Killer Mike spittin knowledge. Straight up. He's right, we need to encourage minorities to exercise their rights as well. Guns are and should not be a blue or red political stance. If you're a democrat, republican or liberal it doesn't matter. You should be in favor of procting yourselves.
Mike I appreciate your candor! Direct to the approach. I grew up hunting and had my first gun at age 10. My father taught us how to load, carry and gun safety, if this was not followed. We would not have access to our guns. Responsiblity! I'm with you, those I know that own guns, as I am, are home owners, fathers, tax payers that obey the law.
Killer mike am a white man and hell yea a black man that knows what the hell is going on run for office we need you
james gaddis Pay attention black people to this here^^^^. There is a difference between need and want. White people don’t want you. They need you for certain objectives. When that need is over then what? I think you know the answer. Pay attention to what and how they say things.
So what purpose does it serve for me to join the nra?
King David 314 Because this is chess not checkers. Politics makes for strange bed fellows.
NRA is one of the most influential lobbies in DC. They affect elections, legislation and serve the interests of their membership with the power of the almighty dollar. I believe if you want to have any sway over the political and socioeconomic systems that affect the black community, we have to get into the positions where we can be influential.
Killer Mike Killed it! Well said!
It always struck me as odd to hear "there'ls institutional racism in our government" and "the police can't be trusted" come out of many of the same mouths as "we should give up (or at least partyl give up) our right to defend ourselves". And now we have donald trump in office.
They teaching this outside our country and I’ve seen videos not no edit videos
i love this!!!
We need to get ALL Americans shooting and most importantly knowledgeable about gun laws.. I don't have a clue who Killer Mike is but I like him.
this Guy is Great!
We are Americans, it is our right.... It is our responsibility to protect the 2nd amendment! Get some Mike! :)
I'm a white dude, and I agree with everything that Killer Mike had to say in this video.
thoughts and prayers... thoughts and prayers.
If Killer Mike feels this way why did he feel the need to
backtrack after the NRA video? Should’ve stuck to what he believes in.
👏🏾👏🏾
Marchelle Washington - Trigger Happy Panda, I believe is who you're thinking of. :-)
Robert F Williams was a prophet amongst lesser men
Mokku Red He was a Marxist. That makes lose all respect for him.
I’m a proud black gun owner I don’t see nothing wrong with it
The NRA doesn't discriminate against any money.We as black people don't need the NRA for us to be gun savvy.Im not a member and I have a safe full of Ars and Aks and are well trained.The money that the NRA collects from it's members is squandered buying millions of dollars of personal items for the hierarchy.
fuck yeah
You tell him killa mike,glad youre working for atl
The NRA's membership is only 5 million people, each with the right to vote for their board of directors. If 1 million black folks joined the NRA in a week and voted as a block, we could completely change their board of directors, kick off any perceived racists, and shift their messaging to something more inclusive to us and other minorities.
What I have seen over the past year+ has been a shift away from just advocating for gun rights, toward advocating for conservatism in general and against liberals (not just anti-gunners) in particular. Everything becomes a plot by socialists/communists. The thing the NRA refuses to acknowledge is that there are tons of liberal/progressive gun owners. That would be my push. Folks feel afraid of Neo-Nazis and KKK types walking around their area with AR-15s, then the NRA can teach those local progressives to arm and defend themselves (just like they did with Robert Williams in Mississippi during the civil rights era).
Now this ^is a man who thinks in 3 dimensional chess terms and not checkers.
mcjon77 way to think outside the box. We playing checkers instead of chess. People get caught up in the bullshit instead of moving as a team and using cooperative power. Move as a team, never move alone. Now welcome to the terror dome!
good show!!¡!
"The Spirit And The Shotgun" -Simon Wendt. Tyranny is here, now.
The “theys” don’t care if you have guns. Why does Travis keep saying that.
Mike is one of the last ones left...
100 Crypto last what?????
Eminently sensible.
Arm the poor.
Tavis, you been to a range yet?
Tavis at the range? With a diaper. Lol
I can feel killer mike to but killer mike? Ok got that, but he talks real positive and gets his point across with his research but with him it’s just talk, I’ve not seen him in the community doing anything other than talking.
Poor white here. Everyone has a right to defend themselves and I don't want to see anyone victimized. I'd still support gun rights even if I was the only white guy in the movement, because I want the right to defend myself. I'm actually happy to see all kinds of people learn to safely use weapons so that they can be responsible for their own safety. You can't rely on someone being there to rescue you when your life is endangered. I'm not on board with the progressive left's agenda, so maybe Mike would consider me an "ally" more than a "friend", but that's fine. I don't care if you believe in all kinds of ideas I disagree with so long as you won't harm others and will respect their rights. Then we can indeed be allies in liberty and support one another since we may have different lifestyles but we accept that diversity rather than forcing one way of life. I'm OK with communists in my community so long as they're not trying to force me to be a communist. Do your own thing, join a commune, have guns to make sure no one can enslave, rape, or murder you. I'm fine with that. I'm just not OK with authoritarianism.
Good on Killer Mike for promoting this kind of personal resiliency here. If the public are armed, they have the means to refuse tyranny. If they're not armed, those in power can treat the public as slaves, and they can do nothing about it but beg their masters for leniency. All of Hong Kong is demanding that they simply maintain the civil rights they have. And they're ignored by their authoritarian rulers. Hong Kongers do not have the means to rebel. Black Americans and all other Americans should maintain the means to rebel, so that if it's ever justified we can do so. The alternative is accepting that we may be ordered into slavery or mass murder.
Absolutely, killer Mike is on the money with this one, I'm on board locked and loaded ready to serve and protect my family and community.........100 SALUTE
Locked and loaded eh? you really are a scared little man aren't you? It must be awful to live in such fear. I walk the streets unarmed and am afraid of no one. I AM FREE.
Killer Mike said he and his father are long-time members of the NRA, yet now he's trying to distance himself from the organization as if he was just talking to the other side and he didn't know better. Man, he even predicted this in his interview with Colion saying "celebrities often don't know what to do; they're told what to do" and followed that up with an example of with a rapper he knew being pressured at a radio station to record an anti-gun message which he did not believe in. Killer Mike in his apology repeatedly emphasized that he is now trying to be a "good ally," when in his NRA interview he said that white anti-gun activists needed to prove to black gun owners like him that they were good allies and completely agreed with Colion when the latter pointed out how $3 million should have gone to failing public schools rather than a march. Yet because Killer Mike prioritizes his inclusion in elite circles over his political convictions, he pretended as if he had no idea the NRA would use the video against the march. I've always loved Mike's music even though I wildly disagree with his political beliefs but the one thing I can not tolerate is him tailoring his views for mainstream liberal audiences because that's so unlike him.
Again, failed to address the 1967 NRA lobby to pass gun control legislation as a result of The Black Panthers' arming themselves. This needs to be addressed.
Paul Chapman ....Don't be Stupid, You already know that the Black Panthers were Considered a Radical Militant Group by the "Establishment". White People were terrified of them....so the Milford Act went into effect and was also endorsed by the NRA. But the Irony of the whole thing is that this Law affected EVERYBODY.....Black, White, Yellow, Brown etc. If this Law had only Applied to Minorities then you would have a valid argument.
There's no need to insult people who are trying to engage in conversation.
I think it's ridiculous to assume that anyone would believe that any seriously considered act would be explicitly against one race in this particular period of history. Many acts have been written and implemented that apply to every person--yet, many would argue that they have an adverse effect on a particular group.
No need to address it. This is chess not checkers. If something serves your purpose then you use it.
Why are guns so important? Why is he so zealous about them? On a fundamental level, guns are simply lethal weapons. How exactly is that a positive thing
One of the first form of gun control was racist, gun control has a racist history
And the reality is that a Black man (or woman) with a gun is going to be perceived as even more of a threat to the police (or anyone else) and is more, not less, likely to be killed. So you can say you are protecting your family but when that Black family calls the police to report the burglar, that Black male is more likely to be shot and killed by the police than had they not had a gun. Does that mean that they should not have a gun? No. But my point still stands.
That's partly a lie. More black men are shot by police true, but given the numbers of police contacts is so much higher naturally there will be more. If you turn the totals into percentages black men are LESS likely to be shot by police. That's like saying more black men are rejected from the NBA than white men and claiming bias....no there's just way more of them trying out.
Lucas, there are way more White people who come into contact with the police. Blacks actually interact with the police in percents proportional to their percentage in society (~13%) www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/pbtss11.pdf
JB the root of the problem is white supremacy.
A few things:
1) People are killing unarmed black people already. While Philando Castro was an absolute injustice, I've been pulled over while armed with no issues. We followed the same steps. I just lucked out by not running into shitty, fearful cops.
2) If a black man has a home defense weapon, they won't be dependent on calling the police for a burglary. Yes, they will have to report it, but that's after they've handled their business.
3) If you have no methods of defense in your home and someone breaks in, the police are the last thing you need to worry about.
I love this guy! NRA 👍🏻🇺🇸
Definitely an area where I'm 100 percent with Killer Mike. Most other areas as well. Just dissed him on a video where he talked about Trump... felt bad so I had to come here and give some positives. I would really like to hear Mike and El-P both expound deeply on their feelings about the Trump presidency. Positive or negative... I really don't like the fact that everything I hear coming from their camp is pretty much just regurgitation of "Trump's a racist", which is such buzzy bullshit, I can't believe it's coming from the same person in this video right here. Mike and El-P are usually not the type to regurgitate the status-quo... but given that black militancy is such a personal topic for Mike, and even El-P, though he's white, I can see some possible and forgivable discrepancies. But if there is something wrong with Trump... it's not racism... and if he IS racist, we don't know about it, and it's not a public fact. It's literally a CNN meme.
Except that Trump IS a racist and that's a fact. His whole campaign was based on racism, he was extremely hateful toward Mexicans and Muslims. And you know it so why are you trying to deny it?
I know it? I know what I know, you don’t know what I know and I don’t know what you know. Trump expressed “hatred” for illegal immigrants, but it wasn’t so much hatred as saying, hey, what they’re doing is illegal. As far as Muslims... maybe we shouldn’t make a priority to let as many Muslims into our country as possible.
a while ago someone interviewing run the jewels implied that america was racist for voting donald turmp in and mike turned that around with "not everybody that voted for trump was racist, and they didnt vote for him for those reasons. They're not ultranationalists, there are scared people who dont have jobs, some people just want to support their families."
Even if i dont agree with everything he says i appreciate that he thinks for himself and doesn't demonize those who disagree with him, something people both sides of the political spectrum could really learn from him.
Yeah, I saw where he said that, but the implication was that although not EVERY voter was racist, or voting for racist reasons, they were incidentally being duped into voting for a racist candidate. I still don't see any evidence that Trump is a racist president.
well racism is subjective isnt it? what one person find racist another may not. so in his eyes he very well may see trump as racist where you dont. simple as that. its an opinion, not a statement
Killer Mike thank you. Race baiting Tavis needs to be on a range
walter doughty Race-baiter????? FOH! Clown boy!
all these comments praising their new negro mouthpiece that they never heard of will be the first ones laughing when or if ‘house nigga mike’ gets his fuckin brains blown out in atlanta... especially if its the police. and his daddy bein a cop dont mean shit.

The only intelligent rapper.
LOL
KRS-One, Slick Rick, Rakim, Nas, Tupac, Intelligent Hoodlum, Chuck D, Paris, Wise Intelligent, Common, Prodigy, Queen Latifah, Lauren Hill, Andre 3000. That is just a few really intelligent rappers. Or better yet. Conscious and intelligent and woke.
He should have said "One of a small group" Most people don't know those names, sadly enough.
@@prfu1222 Thanks for being informative and courteous. This is the Internet, done right.
I don't want to see any children get killed by a gun but if one has to, please let it be Killer Mike's.
You are one wicked devil.
I don't want to see any children, woman or men get ran over by a car but if one has to, please let it be ........
You are a piece of shit.
