@Augustus Freeman that is what I was wondering lol

[@hammun6]

"Wherever you interject money and jobs, gang violence dissipates." It's amazing that someone has to actually come out and say this out loud. Should be common sense, shouldn't it? The fact that it takes a famous rapper to come up with a friggin' soft drink (!!!) and a whole Netflix show (and a new effin' religion to boot!) to bring attention to this fact just boggles my mind. Still, the idea of a "church of sleep" (much like the idea of a "church of bacon") is very enticing....

[@aluisious]

A healthy community doesn't need anyone to "interject" anything. Do what everyone else does: start businesses. No groceries in the poor part of town? Lease a building, make some distribution agreements, and sell food. Now you have jobs too. Here's an idea for a religion: "Shut up and do your homework."

[@youtubesucks898]

@@aluisious , you're an idiot! In every darn situation where people are held back financially or mentally, it always takes certain types of people to step up and help others out. Usually it's those that are doing better financially because maybe they are just better at it. Not everyone is the same. Many people are better followers than leaders. If we wouldn't have as many people who are good followers, there'd probably be even more wars than we have currently. The way the world stays balanced is by having a certain amount of leaders and a certain amount of followers. However, when the leaders start taking advantage of the followers and vice versa, things become unbalanced. The minute we stop helping each other out, we're all doomed!

So...I'm a pasty white, Anglo-Irish, boomer, Canadian Hockey Mom and I LOVE Killer Mike. I was introduced to Mike via Bill Maher and I think he is great. I don't always agree 100% with everything he says, but 9 times out of 10 I think: " Spot On, Mike". I also love that he supported Bernie in 2016. I ask myself: " would this person pass the All-Stars Test??" when I am assessing if I think someone is a Good Person. Now...the All-Stars are my Deceased Parents and my Aunts...and I won't go into detail, cuz that would be a Book, but I'll tell ya...they were some SERIOUSLY GOOD PEOPLE, and even my 93 year old Aunt would have liked Mike. I'll be logging in to my Netflix to check out this new show. Way to go, KM !!

Mike is right about the friendliness of Atlanta. When I visited it briefly years ago, I asked a shopkeeper for directions to the cemetery where Dr Martin Luther King is buried. He told me, then asked if I had a camera to take a photo. I didn’t. He lent me his Polaroid camera! “I know I can trust you to bring it back” he told me. He was correct, of course.... I kept the Polaroid in my wallet until one day I had the misfortune to fall asleep in the Subway, woke up minus wallet. That photo was the only thing I pined for.

Nope gangs form to push crime and push drugs instead of getting a job. You think white people dont have to start at the bottom? I grew up with gang members and spent 15 years in foster care. When you have a world view that is the size of a pin you cant see past your neighborhood. I choose not to make a life of crime and drugs, i worked my share of shitty jobs. Just because life is hard is no excuse to be lazy and blame others for your lack of drive get out. First step in being an adult is take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming others. If you do stupid shit and end up in prison you have no one to blame but yourself.

What does he think happened in Vietnam, Tibet, Mongolia, THE FUCKING USA. I wonder of his gold was mined from a sustainable, organic, sacred heart of bleedin' jesus mine where right after worship they go pick through rocks at $1.50 per day because it's their "culture". Do their children wear Nikes too? I'm all for his activism in the black community that is a good thing what is bullshit is wasting time trying recast the jesus script and ironic as hell to watch him ponder the fate of nomdic tribes. If he wants to be humanity's modern day savior he needs to chuck the jesus script, teach people to give and receive love and compassion and perhaps ponder their buying and speniding habits and lifestyles and what happens as a chain reaction further on down the road because of it. That goes for white people as well and any other shade of human.

The thing I love about Mike’s ideologies is that they are somehow idealistic and realistic at the same time. It is idealistic to think street gangs can keep their image, but somehow still integrate themselves back in to the monetarily legitimate side of society. The way he wants that to happen though is very realistic. It won’t happen overnight, but without creating that path and only expecting quick results will get you nowhere. He’s using the “give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime” method and that’s the most realistic path towards helping any group or individual.
