Killer Mike Tells Black Voters To Stay Home Unless Demands Met

Killer Mike campaigned hard for Bernie Sanders during the primaries, and he’s criticized both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, saying that a vote for either candidate is “the same thing.” On Friday, the rapper wrote a note on Instagram urging black voters to “stay the fuck home” and not vote unless politicians promise to create jobs, decriminalize marijuana, federally prosecute trigger-happy police, and more. “Don’t remain a patsy and pet simply doing what you are told,” the caption of the post reads. “Get something for your vote or stop complaining and accept your role as a second class citizen once and for all.”

...never heard of him until a friend sent me his interview with Bernie Sanders back in Nov 2015.

He did do a nice interview with Bernie Sanders in his barber shop tho. The hour long interview is on youtube.

and his overall message. Our leaders have to push what they preach. We can't afford hollow promises.

Both Mike's latest solo album and the Run the Jewels project ARE AMAZING

The African American Community knows better.. they know the history and they know Hillary's history.. they're the reason she is our Candidate.. and they appreciate John Lewis' Message.

Killer Mike's message is a dead ender. We know what we're getting with Hillary.. thank you.
