Killer Mike Has Some Advice For White Liberals Afraid Of Donald Trump
“Go find other people and become a part of movements that you don’t lead.”
WASHINGTON ― The crowd packed into Echostage nightclub on the eve of President Donald Trump’s inauguration was raucous when Michael Render, better known as Killer Mike ― half of the hip-hop duo Run The Jewels ― walked to center stage.
Render had worked for Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign last year. He told the audience the Vermont senator’s words resonated to him in a way similar to those of Martin Luther King Jr. That meant a lot to a black man from Atlanta who had distanced himself from the kind of blind faith some people seem to have in their politicians.
“I just want to tell everyone who worked that campaign, or who works any campaign, that, at the end of the day, no politician is your ruler, or your master, or your lord,” Render said to loud applause. “These people work for us. We do not work for them.
“No matter who won, the day after tomorrow, this is our motherfucking country,” he continued. “Who gives a fuck who is president? And what we will build or keep this republic going on is truth, honesty, integrity, love and democracy.”
