See the warning about white supremacy before Jan 6 attack: Marlon Craft x Ari Melber

As law enforcement and the Senate pursue accountability for the Capitol riot and insurrection, world leaders and cultural figures have been speaking out and condemning the attack on democracy. Rapper Marlon Craft has a new song challenging clichés about unity and arguing America cannot try to be unified until people confront things that should not be negotiated, from scientific truths about Covid-19 to white supremacy. Craft joins MNSBC’s Ari Melber and former RNC chairman Michael Steele to discuss his searing song and his hopes for America’s future.

[@carolwilliams8840]

I'm a Christian. I do understand why you made this statement. I would like you to know that not all Christians react the same way to something that one might consider to be radical or different. As a matter of fact at my church my Pastor believes strongly and teaches that our way (usually the older Christians) is not the only way. We've even listed to the lyrics of some rappers such as Kanye West during our service time in order discuss the truths in them. We know that millennials have ways of expressing themselves that is very different than that of older traditional Christians. They have every right to and as a matter of fact, they are more open and honest. I enjoyed the young man's rap and totally agree with his message. I in no way think he's a lunatic. He's really very intelligent and talented. He is living in his purpose and I applaud that. I ask that just as Conservative Christians should give others a chance and not be so quick to judge, I ask that you please do the same about Christians. Not all of us are closed to different forms of expression and think we're the only ones right. Have a prosperous life and be blessed.
