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.

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.

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.

[@robvangessel3766]

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.

"But you benefited from it." Uh huh, right. Not only did my family not immigrate to the USA until the 1920's..... But the words of Slavery and Slave were derived from my heritage, The Slavs.... Because white people were also slaves for a really long damn time, too. Apparently slavery only happened in the United States thanks to this woke, revisionist nonsense. In reality, my ancestors were slaves for 1000 years in the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East, but you don't hear Slavic people whining about it everyday. 😎 Not only that, we didn't get freed until the fall of the Ottoman Empire (20th century).... That means we were still slaves for 50 years after the slaves were freed in the USA. But nobody talks about that -- because it's inconvenient to the agenda they are pushing. I hate to break it to Killer Mike, but if everyone who was a descendant of a slave got a check -- it's basically every citizen of the United States (since we are a nation of immigrants). Every single continent had a slave trade about 250 years ago, so basically every single US Citizen would have at least one relative that was enslaved in their family tree.

[@BadGVideoGames]

@SubliminalMinded2011 Who is profiting from Slavs today? Seriously, are you this dumb? We're getting blown up / exterminated in Ukraine at the moment, nimrod. Slavs generally flee when bombs are landing in our countries. Poland was invaded over 200 times since the 10th century. SMH

[@LordIstar]

What a load of bollocks. This is about America's history, both past and present, with slavery and the kind of racism that persists in sectors of society and systemically in our institutions. And here's another tip about why it doesn't affect you like it affects descendants of Black American slaves: you're white, so you pass. You don't have a permanent target on you that becomes the object of racism in America.

[@BadGVideoGames]

@SubliminalMinded2011 Seriously? Who profits from the Slavs? I dunno... Maybe you should ask all the Slavs being blown up / exterminated in Ukraine right now. SMH Poland has been invaded over 200 times since the 10th century. Ever hear of gas chambers? 1.5 million Slavs were sent to them in the 1940's. The ignorance of your comment was NEXT LEVEL. Slavs generally flee from the constant genocides (Nazis / Russians) usually when the bombs begin to fall in our respective countries. Those are just some of the recent highlights after we were FREED OF SLAVERY.

[@BadGVideoGames]

@SubliminalMinded2011 Who profits from the Slavs? I guess the gas manufacturers who provided the fuel to the gas chambers when 1.5 million Slavs were killed by Nazi's in the 1940's. I guess it's the people who make weapons for the thousands of Slavs that are currently being exterminated / blown up in Ukraine right now. Your comment was NEXT LEVEL ignorant. Poland has only been invaded 200 times since the 10th century, I can't imagine why people would flee that environment.

Aren’t we supposed to work for our survival or for what we want? Isn’t that the American dream? Having the right to get a job? There is no net. Killer Mike sounded like a broken record.
