Let me correct you there, the vast majority of humans are stupid. Not only Americans. Moreover, just like you don't know when you're crazy, you don't know when you're stupid either. It's not a matter of being okay with stupid, it's a matter of being unaware that you're stupid and thinking everyone else is
Expecting a president to change the country is nuts. Your representatives are the ones who make the laws. Start electing serious ethical people who want to actually do the work of governing to represent you instead of grifting, divisive, self enriching idiots who would destroy democracy to make a dollar.
with 10% of the population being narcissists , sociopaths and psychopaths, these are the people that will fight you on everything and us mild manered folk dont want to compete with them for positions of power, we just drown in the never ending swamp.
You mean the representatives that are more bought and sold than hookers? I'd agree with you if these said representatives actually thought for themselves and fought for what they actually believe in, but that is sadly not the case. You want to know who really controls things and determines what does and doesn't become a law, just follow the money. I know that sounds like something a conspiracy theorist would say, and I am far from being a conspiracy theorist, but what I am saying is true. The entire concept of government is just a charade and facade. Voting is another facade that doesn't matter, as it doesn't matter who is "elected"....congress, senate, and even the president, are all essentially puppets.

Yeah, he really is using Maher's show as a soap box. Forget it, Killer. This country won't do it anytime soon, because as always, the devil is in the details. If one doesn't have a rational plan, one shouldn't persistently whine about anything. Give us solutions, Killer Mike. The 2% from the corporations wasn't a horrible idea, but who is going to take it? The government? Who gets the reparations? If the 2% idea doesn't work, who pays? How much each? Mike isn't stupid, but he is obsessed.
So let's punish people for the sins of their fathers to benefit the descendents of slaves? Two wrongs don't make a right. Equality of opportunity is the only equality that matters.
Even a broken Killer Mike is right once a day. Dead-wrong on cash reparations at a time when we could liquidate the entire American economy and STILL be $6 trillion in debt. Can't even believe we're talking about reparations when there's no. fucking. money. Right on local politics; everybody's focused on all this performative drama in DC when what they do there NEVER impacts people's lives at street level when it's LOCAL elected officials who can and should answer to voters in their local communities.
The local level is more difficult because there's less voter turnout, for the most part. The more local the election the harder it is to get things done; private contractors and city council members stuffing each other's pockets.

Big Mike need to stop advocating for reparations and start advocating for more blk men to take accountability of being good role models & raising good positive productive young blk boys and stop glamorizing crime and gang violence in hip hop music for profit ..
Very true. I believe he mentioned a trope we hear again and again- “uncomfortable conversations we need to have”. By that he means a conversation where a white person is held responsible for a negative black situation. It is true that we’d benefit from uncomfortable conversations regarding these issues, but Mike wouldn’t like who’s made uncomfortable in that scenario. Unfortunately the white people on this panel are either ignorant of this or too afraid to stand up for themselves and call bullshit.
It was funny when California was talking about it having never been a slave state. States like New York, made slavery illegal in 1802. The country formed in 1776. That's only 26 years.
yea but descendants of slave holders and white institutions and the Government got wealthy from slavery. So either pay reparations or remove accumulated wealth - if you wanna be fair.
He's right - all politics are local......if you're not involved, even at the minimal level, then you're part of 'the problem'. You'd be surprised how incredibly easy it is to get involved with your city's political boards.
Reparations is another way of saying I want to force someone to say I’m sorry yet neither person was there! Everyone wants to be owed but no one wants to pay.
I rent from a Navajo woman in New Mexico. Many of her family on the REZ do NOT have water or electricity. In the past I was a Children's Director for a domestic shelter by Chicago. What needs to be done are SAFE community shelters that provide parenting education, community kitchen, wellness check ups, short term daycare for single parents to get a break, information/support for local businesses. Change only works if you start at the center with heart.
I roomed with a Navajo woman who legally took peyote every day. She had scholarships out the wazoo & washed out before the end of freshman year. So what? I think she would have done better in school without the peyote & handouts.

I'd seen Sununu on the show before and didn't have much of an opinion about him but this episode really turned me against him with the things he was saying. Plus on top of that he's also super irritating.
Wow this is why Killer Mike is amazing. Not only does he have such good input, but he doesn't let ppl talk over him or try to switch the topic. He keeps it on point despite others efforts to distract or manipulate the conversation.
@@user-nf4tm1fc3xMaybe read some African history too because OP is absolutely correct. Many African slaves also went to middle eastern countries and castrated there so that their population wouldn’t climb. Don’t see people asking for reparations there.
@@DanBrown96 I’m curious who exactly should pay these reparations. Everyday white people that struggle to make ends meet should go bankrupt in order to pay money to people who were never slaves themselves? Many Americans today are descendants of immigrants who came to America long after slavery was abolished, surely they shouldn’t have to pay? There several black people who were slave holders, should they also pay their current brothers? How do you even figure out who is who after almost 2 centuries? It’s an exercise in futility, but by all means people of any color love to whine…
They arrested Killer Mike for saying this, “ "I consciously set out to tell the story of a young Black boy growing up on the west side of Atlanta so that the world can see that our narrative isn't just victimization and losing, but we can win, we can thrive and prosper."
Reparations? Not fair to pay for something that it wasn't my fault. I refuse to pay for it. I am an immigrant who works hard and pays taxes and doesn't get any help. I do not owe any reparations. Especially, for something that happened a long time ago, not only happened here, in Noth America. It happened to all central and south America and all over the world. Get over it or go after the rich descendants of slaves owners. They are the ones that need to pay since they are the ones who benefit from it. 🤔
Since he went to call out how Abbot was right he was to put up razer wire I am disgusted with him. I live in N.H. and his father was a good gov.He was during the COVID but he's decided to leave so now he's being more Trumpy .
"Me and my wife told a crackheads daughter, that works in a strip club, that she's a great person and she went and turned her life around into an amazing corrupt business woman". Doesn't make you a great person. In the same breath as " I grew up in an all black neighborhood and didn't see white people, still turned out a POS until I grew up" let's blame white people for everything. If it wasn't for white people Fckn up economy,politics and mishandling guilt, killer Mike would probably be a no one in a strip club.
Money for cost of living expenses, education, home ownership, and general necessities to improve quality of love isn't materialism. Hard to tell if that's not something you understand or you're being disingenuous.
@@fgcFooblez the biggest problem with reparations will be extreme racism. There are so many poor people in this country and most are non black. Is it right that these would happen? No, but it absolutely would be a disaster. I think other forms outside of cash payments would go over better.
@@brandonbordelon143 I agree. Racism went through the roof when we had a half black president. I feared my children would witness the assassination of another American president. The problem is the structures that were in place to help the marginalized are being rolled back on a daily basis. From voting rights to abortion.
He wasn't always this way. I think someone 'influenced' him last year or two. As it turns out, that Georgia Democratic party pretty potent with a lot of money.
Disagree with Mike here. I think rappers have made our young people more materialistic. Tho it’s complicated: as Maher pointed out in the show, part of black rap materialism is rooted in economic inequality! Reparations are not going to happen.
@jayray448 Our whole society is built around debt and consumerism. At no point do we stop destroying the planet, to ask if we can make things better. We have children to feed, bills to pay, healthcare to get. It's hilarious how sheepish our society is.
You are wrong. Once you understand it, you will see that reparations are needed. It is what the government has done to Americans for hundreds of years and many generations. Read some of the banned books so you can gain knowledge.
@@jayray448 BS. I'm a single mother and my kids are not materialistic whatsoever. They appreciate every little thing they get. Married couples likely spoil their children more with materialism because they can.
I love rap but for young people it's too explicit with sex so if anything, it's made the kids more sexual too young and made it socially acceptable but not in a good way.
Reparations are a dumb idea - I see this as a grandson of a person raised on a native american reservation - how can you pay for the abuses of a people by melanin content - what about multi racial folks - its just tribal stupidity that will lead to prejudice.
You fool. This country hands out billions to other countries every year. At least if it stays in our country it helps OUR economy. Only an idiot argues against that 🤦🏽♂️
Yes right before the millionaire host in the designer suit went on and on about not understanding pop culture’s fascination with materialism. Lots of 🤦♂️ in this episode
Even if reparations was popular enough to get passed, most Americans don't have $1000 saved up for a medical emergency where do they think this money is going to come from?
Parents are being put on trial for their children's actions, seems like the next step. But taxes come from everyone, people will end up paying their own reparations.
Poverty reduction and crime reduction is a process that has to be continuous and have accountability. There is no payment or program that solves either.
@@D-Fens_1632 You've obviously never been poor. Because when you have no money and no credit cards, you resort to stealing or selling drugs like Bill Maher admitted to doing.
I think America should pay reparations... right after the African slave kingdom descendants, the Dutch and the Portuguese. People need to learn the history of the slave trade, it is lied about so much now. FFS everyone acts like Britan were the bad guys and the African kingdoms were freedom fighters, but reality is Birtan had to bombard them to the stone age to STOP the slave trade.
"We gotta hold these politicians feet to the fire" Good luck with that. Something like 95% of congress run from "safe" districts. They can't be voted out.

Right now in the state of Texas our Governor is wasting tax payers dollars on Bull shit by sending these migrants all over the country and turning around and cutting people off of medicaid and school lunches.

I felt sorry for that lady who had to leave the state in order to get her health for her abortion but this is the kind of crap they are doing catering to people that think they should dictate to others how to live.
Thank you Killer Mike for your intelligent commentary. This country has always been in denial about the sins of it's past especially slavery & it's consequences. Gov. Sununu is the typical Republican who can't give a simple yes or no answer to any question but when it comes to reparations, it's a solid no.
Hello everyone: the question is about materialism in music - any thoughts? killer mike: I’m sorry what was the question. But have you heard of this thing called reparations ? 😂. If you don’t mind. I’m gonna use up half the segment to talk about it. Also. I accepted Venmo, stripe and PayPal 😂. In all honesty - as immigrant who became in an American in 2015. All I can say is my fellow immigrants love this country. Even with all its flaws ♥️♥️♥️
You seem content with the government spending hundreds of millions for wars, foreign aid, military posts around the world, and providing free everything for migrants!
Why does maga focus so much on the 13%? If you want to work for free, go for it. But those who worked for free, unwillingly, for hundreds of years deserve some backpay. Even if they did learn a trade (what an ignorant statement). Are you really one of Putin's useful maga idiots or one of his trolls, spreading hate and divisness?
And that's the problem. If you hooked up w/ the 13%, your struggle would be less. Divide & rule has you thinking only about ' my own struggle.' It is written

If you’re president you can. If you have a classified folder of the highest classification, in front of you, and you’re president, and you want to say show a professor- that specializes in Turkish politics and is an expert on turkey- the president can just open that folder and show him. That is by thought. He doesn’t need to get the professor the classification credentials needed to see that. The folder is in the presidents possession- not in a skiff, they could be sitting in a restaurant and show him. The president just shows him. He is the declassifier And it was done by thought- every president does this. How do you not know this? You must be a common core kid- by that question- I can tell you’re an msnbc viewer. Remember trump dropped the Moab bomb on the mountain in Afghanistan while having dinner w the president of China- trump has a tv rolled out to the table- and both leaders watch the biggest non nuke bomb take out everyone with in two miles- that was of the highest classification- do you think the had xi up to date in his classification- I highly doubt it- 😂. The president declassified the viewing of that too secret mission- satellite classification- tactical classification- the president can and all do declassify by thought. Stop watching MSNBC- it makes you stupider by the minute- I’m really surprised- that your critical thinking skills are that low- you couldn’t game no scenarios in your pea sized brain where you could think of a president declassifying- just by doing- or by thought? Seriously?
The gap between young liberal women and young conservative men is also due to the dating market. Men want more traditional wives while women want to be more career focused
I never understood the point of moving to CNN for this segment. It makes no sense unless you've followed along with the rest of the broadcast. I hope it was Seth that made CNN drop it.

Get a job take care of your self
You got sports and music, Killer Mike
I'm black and I find Killer Mike tedious. There are actually other issues in the world that don't revolve around black people.
Just because you don’t care about black people doesn’t mean Killer Mike shouldn’t! He always talks about to help his community in Atlanta
@@ZoeRose13 And nothing else. Nor does he let anyone else talk about anything else. Plus because he's black they treat him with kid gloves. Everyone on that panel wanted to say he was full of crap with his reparations talk but they were all afraid of being called racist. That includes Bill " I Speak My Mind" Maher.
One issue people are boring.
@ZoeRose Your response demonstrates that you lack reading comprehension skills.
Black as a polar bear 🐻❄️ 🤣
Sununu's "both sides" argument is disingenuous and ridiculous. Dude is a consumate politician.
To me Chris always feels like a Timeshare salesman... I live in a Timeshare town and his BuLLshiT never stops. 😳
*Cheers 🍻 from Cancún!* 💙🇲🇽
His defense of Nikki...and saying she's how you "don't get trump," yet... both he and Nikki say they'll back Trump if the orange guy is the nominee 🤣🤣
Precisely why Trump got elected, he is not a politician.
He’s just Susan Collins in a suit
I'd seen Sununu on the show before and didn't have much of an opinion about him but this episode really turned me against him with the things he was saying. Plus on top of that he's also super irritating.
Wow this is why Killer Mike is amazing. Not only does he have such good input, but he doesn't let ppl talk over him or try to switch the topic. He keeps it on point despite others efforts to distract or manipulate the conversation.
Chris Sununu is the man, even if he said “vote for Nikki Haley”
Do the Africans who sold their fellow African should pay some reparations
Please let's not continue the idiocracy. Read and learn your American history!
@@user-nf4tm1fc3xMaybe read some African history too because OP is absolutely correct. Many African slaves also went to middle eastern countries and castrated there so that their population wouldn’t climb. Don’t see people asking for reparations there.
And the Spaniards and Portuguese
Ah the old 'whataboutism' to avoid responsibilty. Maybe raise that question on an African talk show, not this AMERICAN one.
@@DanBrown96 I’m curious who exactly should pay these reparations. Everyday white people that struggle to make ends meet should go bankrupt in order to pay money to people who were never slaves themselves? Many Americans today are descendants of immigrants who came to America long after slavery was abolished, surely they shouldn’t have to pay? There several black people who were slave holders, should they also pay their current brothers? How do you even figure out who is who after almost 2 centuries? It’s an exercise in futility, but by all means people of any color love to whine…
The last 30 seconds was ghe most profound. Effect change locally is the best way forward
It's the only way!! Trying to get something done in Congress is hard!
@@gailcarmack2954 Hard? Its like trying to remove each individual grain of sand from one beach to another, using just your mouth.
@@originalprecursor LoL
They arrested Killer Mike for saying this, “
"I consciously set out to tell the story of a young Black boy growing up on the west side of Atlanta so that the world can see that our narrative isn't just victimization and losing, but we can win, we can thrive and prosper."
Then he got arrested for Battery at the Grammys after winning all 3 of his nominations.
Reparations?
Not fair to pay for something that it wasn't my fault.
I refuse to pay for it. I am an immigrant who works hard and pays taxes and doesn't get any help. I do not owe any reparations. Especially, for something that happened a long time ago, not only happened here, in Noth America. It happened to all central and south America and all over the world. Get over it or go after the rich descendants of slaves owners.
They are the ones that need to pay since they are the ones who benefit from it. 🤔
Black people deserve reparations 🎉
If it wasn’t for blacks fighting for civil rights which wasn’t that long ago, how’d you think ur time in the u.s. would be?
@@oldheed515fair response. Unfair world
You get the whole package if you want to be an American. We don’t get to pick and choose.
@@user-il9tx9di4b a rigged game of “let’s make a deal”
I didn't know much about Gov. Chris Sununu, but after this show, my opinion of him have decreased greatly.
He gets worse everytime
Yes, couldn't really find a bit of integrity left in his hollow political body.
Since he went to call out how Abbot was right he was to put up razer wire I am disgusted with him. I live in N.H. and his father was a good gov.He was during the COVID but he's decided to leave so now he's being more Trumpy .
This is one of the dumbest conversations I have ever heard.
Remember Welfare in the 60’s and still paying out
So, the answer to "we are too materialist" was "give mo' money!"? I guess that message bounced off Mike like bullets off superman...
When you don't have something you hyper focus on it.
"Me and my wife told a crackheads daughter, that works in a strip club, that she's a great person and she went and turned her life around into an amazing corrupt business woman". Doesn't make you a great person. In the same breath as " I grew up in an all black neighborhood and didn't see white people, still turned out a POS until I grew up" let's blame white people for everything. If it wasn't for white people Fckn up economy,politics and mishandling guilt, killer Mike would probably be a no one in a strip club.
Money for cost of living expenses, education, home ownership, and general necessities to improve quality of love isn't materialism.
Hard to tell if that's not something you understand or you're being disingenuous.
@@fgcFooblez the biggest problem with reparations will be extreme racism. There are so many poor people in this country and most are non black.
Is it right that these would happen? No, but it absolutely would be a disaster. I think other forms outside of cash payments would go over better.
@@brandonbordelon143 I agree. Racism went through the roof when we had a half black president. I feared my children would witness the assassination of another American president.
The problem is the structures that were in place to help the marginalized are being rolled back on a daily basis. From voting rights to abortion.
'Look at his fuckin face" I'm dead😂
My favorite part 😂😂
I think we've paid enough
Wow... Killer Mike's final words really hit home with hyper local and change from the bottom up. Loved that example from Georgia.
I’m Irish, I want reparations too! See how the rabbit hole grows. Never gonna happen brotha
That's different the treatment of the Irish back then is still universally accepted as the correct move.
It’s a stupid idea.
No lie im 100 percent with you....just let me know about one Irish plantation first??lol
People comparing treatment of Irish, while bad, to slavery of African Americans over 300+ years is f---ing nuttier than a squirrel turd.
Imagine an Irish dude walking up to a black dude and saying "hey bro we were slaves too" LOL
Bill throwing out the didn't I buy dinner last time😂😂😂😂
Glad you caught that. 😂🎉 like damn you owe me type stuff
Bill Maher says “she seems to have skipped grades”, referring to Nikki Haley 😂😂😂😂😂
Killer Mike said do not vote for Joe Biden vote for Trump. That’s literally what he said… DO NOT VOTE FOR PEDO JOE!!!
Killer Mike should for president.
Killer Mike only speaking for his tribe but overlooking the idea of economic increase based on merit and not on skin color.
He wasn't always this way. I think someone 'influenced' him last year or two. As it turns out, that Georgia Democratic party pretty potent with a lot of money.
Blk ppl have been speaking for others all the time. Your problem is we’re speaking up for ourselves. Well it’s a new day.
Killer Mike said do not vote for Joe Biden vote for Trump. That’s literally what he said… DO NOT VOTE FOR PEDO JOE!!!
I gotta agree I used to like listening to him but now it’s black vs white. When it should be power abuser vs the rest of us.
He is a racist, plain and simple.
Disagree with Mike here. I think rappers have made our young people more materialistic. Tho it’s complicated: as Maher pointed out in the show, part of black rap materialism is rooted in economic inequality! Reparations are not going to happen.
It's not just rappers. It's mostly single mothers. When you have children brought up by a good father with discipline, they are rarely materialistic.
@jayray448 Our whole society is built around debt and consumerism. At no point do we stop destroying the planet, to ask if we can make things better. We have children to feed, bills to pay, healthcare to get. It's hilarious how sheepish our society is.
You are wrong. Once you understand it, you will see that reparations are needed. It is what the government has done to Americans for hundreds of years and many generations. Read some of the banned books so you can gain knowledge.
@@jayray448 BS. I'm a single mother and my kids are not materialistic whatsoever. They appreciate every little thing they get. Married couples likely spoil their children more with materialism because they can.
I love rap but for young people it's too explicit with sex so if anything, it's made the kids more sexual too young and made it socially acceptable but not in a good way.
Change is not always good.
Reparations are a dumb idea - I see this as a grandson of a person raised on a native american reservation - how can you pay for the abuses of a people by melanin content - what about multi racial folks - its just tribal stupidity that will lead to prejudice.
People like Killer Mike are the exact problem with this country.
Pushing stupid identity politics which are the road to nowhere.
It was pretty easy to enslave people based upon melanin though. 🙄
You told us you're white no matter what your "edgy" background was. Cry less, pay more.
You fool. This country hands out billions to other countries every year. At least if it stays in our country it helps OUR economy. Only an idiot argues against that 🤦🏽♂️
Did the guy with the gold chains just say that America has a fascination with money?
Yes right before the millionaire host in the designer suit went on and on about not understanding pop culture’s fascination with materialism. Lots of 🤦♂️ in this episode
Just because you wear a nice suit for a TV show, it doesn't make you materialistic. @@senortano
He is an American and he said 'Americans are materialistic'. Not sure what the confusion is.
They wear it that slave owners put black chains around-their-necks they now as free people made the chains in to gold.

Killer Mike said do not vote for Joe Biden vote for Trump. That’s literally what he said… DO NOT VOTE FOR PEDO JOE!!!
Any help given needs to be based on something other than race and available to all who need it. Otherwise, more resentment and division.
You and MLK are wise.
If they get it they will still b in the same situation in a decade and will say its whites fault for giving them money
Yea, I think the poorest area in the country is Appalachia.
It's not based on race but lineage big difference
Even if reparations was popular enough to get passed, most Americans don't have $1000 saved up for a medical emergency where do they think this money is going to come from?
Dave Chapelle did a great skit about reparations. The ironic thing is that I'm pretty sure it would be pretty close to that in reality.
I think of that every time I hear reparations lol
I’ve never seen it. I’m assuming I can find it on CZcams.💁🏻♀️
“ I just bought this baby, straight cash” 😂
You're why Dave Chapelle quit the show. Exactly why.
@@ericjones2988yeah when he realize they was they’re who they always been and still are.

pay for your fathers/ancestors debts sounds like some mafia shit
Or pay for the benefits from it.
Parents are being put on trial for their children's actions, seems like the next step. But taxes come from everyone, people will end up paying their own reparations.
Give them mj industry.Next year you'll have to give them sth else.Them are a minority.Them should chill the f out.
@@angeljie6299that’s just ridiculous
They leave thats what happens when you tax someone just cause they are rich.
Killer Mike needs to have a talk with Thomas Sowell.
Poverty reduction and crime reduction is a process that has to be continuous and have accountability. There is no payment or program that solves either.
Nonsense.
Poverty doesn't drive crime.
@@D-Fens_1632 LOL. Ok, Boomer.
@@D-Fens_1632 You've obviously never been poor. Because when you have no money and no credit cards, you resort to stealing or selling drugs like Bill Maher admitted to doing.
It's not the only reason for crime, but poverty is DIRECTLY linked to crime.@@D-Fens_1632
Wow this shit is nuts. Reparations is a joke. Common sense guy get some.
I think America should pay reparations... right after the African slave kingdom descendants, the Dutch and the Portuguese.
People need to learn the history of the slave trade, it is lied about so much now. FFS everyone acts like Britan were the bad guys and the African kingdoms were freedom fighters, but reality is Birtan had to bombard them to the stone age to STOP the slave trade.
Tell Killer Mike to sell his sneakers, his gold chain and his Hummer he can give reparations to at least one town. Lead by example.
Mike looks like he killed a few boxes of donuts.
Reparations says the guy wearing a gold chain😮
No refunds without a valid receipt.
"We gotta hold these politicians feet to the fire"
Good luck with that. Something like 95% of congress run from "safe" districts. They can't be voted out.
And when sheep like you blindly worship biden and other dems becauee they’re dem, is what he is talking about. It’s what we all should do! HOLD EVERY POLITICIAN ACCOUNTABLE! You trump haters only focus on trump when you need to bring that same energy to democrats, even the ones you worship, and republicans! Hold everybody in politics to the same level of scrutiny you hold trump to! But you and every other trump hater never do this and you wonder why trump gets support.
This is why I keep asking why we vote?
Most of the Republicans like you said are in safe Districts. Here in Texas they are so safe the Dems don't try to run.
@@donaldnewman5836 "This is why I keep asking why we vote?" - because things might get even worse, look around the world and history what happens when "strong" and "unaccountable" leaders are elected.
@@rgarbacz I'm not going to argue with you on that because I feel the same way. I think about what my people went through in order for me to have that right.. I'm just tired of these people going into the office to represent just a few instead of all the people.
Right now in the state of Texas our Governor is wasting tax payers dollars on Bull shit by sending these migrants all over the country and turning around and cutting people off of medicaid and school lunches.
I am really disgusted with this system.
The Dems are acting like they are afraid of these Republicans. I felt sorry for that lady who had to leave the state in order to get her health for her abortion but this is the kind of crap they are doing catering to people that think they should dictate to others how to live.
Yep...corporate parasites
Sanunu is FANTASTIC!! Love Him! But he was too nice here.
Thank you Killer Mike for your intelligent commentary.
This country has always been in denial about the sins of it's past especially slavery & it's consequences. Gov. Sununu is the typical Republican who can't give a simple yes or no answer to any question but when it comes to reparations, it's a solid no.
"Didn't I buy dinner last night" 🤣
Hello everyone: the question is about materialism in music - any thoughts?
killer mike: I’m sorry what was the question. But have you heard of this thing called reparations ? 😂. If you don’t mind. I’m gonna use up half the segment to talk about it. Also. I accepted Venmo, stripe and PayPal 😂.
In all honesty - as immigrant who became in an American in 2015. All I can say is my fellow immigrants love this country. Even with all its flaws ♥️♥️♥️
Also give me a weed store
KMike used to talk about everything except Reparations when he first came around. Now it is his #1 go-to.
He literally said in the beginning that materialism is in American society. Sounds like you have selective hearing
??? I think you're in wrong thread prof>>@@ProfessorCDO
That's because you know what it's really like in the real world.
Killer, Mike nails it as usual!!
Big Love for KillerMike. Congrats on the Grammys.
Everyone should focus on 13% of the population 100% of the time. No thanks, I've got my own struggles to deal with. Give 'em your money Mike.
You seem content with the government spending hundreds of millions for wars, foreign aid, military posts around the world, and providing free everything for migrants!
Why does maga focus so much on the 13%? If you want to work for free, go for it. But those who worked for free, unwillingly, for hundreds of years deserve some backpay. Even if they did learn a trade (what an ignorant statement). Are you really one of Putin's useful maga idiots or one of his trolls, spreading hate and divisness?
And that's the problem. If you hooked up w/ the 13%, your struggle would be less. Divide & rule has you thinking only about ' my own struggle.' It is written
WOW. Your ignorance and bigotry are palpable
Who said 100% of the time?
I think I'd rather just take off and leave the country if my money goes to pay reparations to LeBron James and Kanye West. Hell no.
I hope you're joking
so unrealistic
Free Killer Mike!!!
He was never locked up.
Killer Mike coming out at the beginning set the tone of the show "White people standing up and I'm not being lynched...this is amazing." Richest damn victim ever.
Killer Mike is annoying. He talks over everyone and doesn’t know when to shut up.

@@TheSands83 No it isn't. If Nazi Germany had to pay for its atrocities, why not America? Instead America doubled down on its denial of opportunities to black people.
Can you declassify documents by just thinking about it?
NO! Only Putin & Kim Jung Un can. Is that what we want?
If you’re president you can. If you have a classified folder of the highest classification, in front of you, and you’re president, and you want to say show a professor- that specializes in Turkish politics and is an expert on turkey- the president can just open that folder and show him. That is by thought. He doesn’t need to get the professor the classification credentials needed to see that. The folder is in the presidents possession- not in a skiff, they could be sitting in a restaurant and show him. The president just shows him. He is the declassifier And it was done by thought- every president does this. How do you not know this? You must be a common core kid- by that question- I can tell you’re an msnbc viewer. Remember trump dropped the Moab bomb on the mountain in Afghanistan while having dinner w the president of China- trump has a tv rolled out to the table- and both leaders watch the biggest non nuke bomb take out everyone with in two miles- that was of the highest classification- do you think the had xi up to date in his classification- I highly doubt it- 😂. The president declassified the viewing of that too secret mission- satellite classification- tactical classification- the president can and all do declassify by thought. Stop watching MSNBC- it makes you stupider by the minute- I’m really surprised- that your critical thinking skills are that low- you couldn’t game no scenarios in your pea sized brain where you could think of a president declassifying- just by doing- or by thought? Seriously?

Way to go, Killer Mike .Bill needs someone to temper his overreaction with reasonable counter argument .
The gap between young liberal women and young conservative men is also due to the dating market. Men want more traditional wives while women want to be more career focused
