Killer Mike Says His Grandfather Believed Desegregation Was Bad for Blacks in America

Killer Mike is more than just an American rapper from Atlanta, he is a political activist, and a very knowledgeable individual. During his interview on Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club show this morning, he was asked by one of the hosts of the show, Charlamange the God if he felt desegregation was bad or good for black people in America, and he said...



"My grandfather thought it was incredibly bad for black people. And he gave me two prime examples. He was like, the black community was richer, because on Sundays, it was Baseball time, and they had a negro barn league, and a negro leagues would come through, and they would spend 3-4 hours in the community, people come and cook...money got spent. But, integrating into major league baseball, it took a pool of money that once was in negro league baseball to major league baseball, right. It's nothing wrong with the players going, but in a 100 years or so...almost a hundred years we've integrated, we don't have ownership. We don't run upfront offices like you would expect us to."

His grandfather sure does have a point. Read on to know what Killer Mike personally feels about desegregation in America.

Waka Flocka Blames Black People For the Way They Are Treated By Police

In his recent interview on Hot 97 radio show with Ebro, Waka Flocka talks about how black people's acts are the cause of why the police treat them badly. In the interview, he is basically saying, you are treated the way you portray yourself. He spoke about most African Americans from the ghetto posting all their illegal moves on social media, and being surprised when they get arrested. Waka has been off the hip hop scene for a while now, and I think it has worked out well for him, cos he seems a lot wiser now.

J.Cole Speaks About Racism In America

Although slavery was abolished over a hundred years ago, and black people are now free men in countries in which they were held as slaves, there is still no equality. This is no longer the 60's, when racism was still very prominent in the southern part of U.S.A, when freed slaves were just getting adjusted into the society in that part of America. This is 2013, where you have hundreds of black millionaires in America, but still, racism prevails.



Just to note, Jermaine Cole's (J.Cole) mother is white, and his father is black, so he is half Caucasian half Negro; but still, he speaks on Racism in America. During a recent interview with BET, he was asked if he has ever experienced racism, and he said...





"For sure, absolutely, I just got pulled over on 42nd street in Times Square for what I believe was nothing. They said it was for tints on my front window, which is barely tinted. I really believe it was because I had my hat low. I was driving through Times Square and I just didn’t want to be seen. So I had my hat low and I think I was looking “suspicious” just as a Black man with my brim low, when I was really just trying to cover my face. They came to my window, pulled me over. I feel like if I was a white man driving, they wouldn’t question me about my tints. They told me to roll down my back window; they look in my car as if they’re looking for something. I feel like that was the real thing, they were trying to catch somebody slipping. That just happened three days ago. I almost didn’t even name that because I am so used to that. That’s something that I feel like somebody my age that’s white doesn’t have to go through, especially in New York City. On the other hand, every time I’m on the plane in first class — this is a lesser evil but it still represents their mind state — I promise you, 60 percent of the time somebody asks me what basketball team do I play for or do I rap. [Laughs] I am a rapper, I wish I could tell them something better — that happens all the time and I hate it. I hate that we’re stereotyped and I hate that I’m fitting into the same stereotype."



Personally, I don't really think it is all about racisms...at least not to the degree people are speaking of it. I think white people see black people as a particular group of people they have to be careful around, because of what majority of black people in ghettos do. They don't necessarily look at the colour of the skin and determine to treat them inferior, but they treat them based on the behaviour of majority of black people in America. When majority of black people clean up their acts, and white's still discriminate against them, then I will call that racism.

Miguel Says Black People Are The Most Judgemental People in the World

Well, I totally agree with him, but ofcourse some people will fight the truth. In a series of tweets, R&B singer Miguel said that black people are the most judgemental people in the world...and he gave his reasons too. I joined the tweets together, and you can read his words below-

"Im proud of my heritage but honestly, black people are the most judgemental people in the world. Shits sad man. We've been conditioned, pre-programmed to hate ourselves. That's why I appreciate those who choose to think and act for themselves regardless of ethnicity or culture. The problem can not be fixed until the problem is recognized. Not everyone is the same thank goodness. And obviously, I love all my fans. Of course EVERYONE is judgemental. I just PERSONALLY believe WE are the most critical of our own" 

We judge ourselves; we condemn ourselves; we judge the white man and blame him for all our problems, playing the blame game. Forgetting that it was our own people that sold us to slavery...for a couple of mirrors and bottles of liquor. We have that crab in the bucket mentality...believing you must take one man down to climb up.We complain about everything, and instead of looking for a solution to our problems, we play the blame game, or we bring the devil or all the Illuminati and conspiracy theory crap into it. It always amazes me how black people in the States have exactly the same mentality as those in my country, Nigeria. I do believe that slavery and colonialism left the whole black race feeling inferior, but times should have changed yesterday, and we should be thinking differently by now. We are our own worst enemy. And as Nas once said, we are the question and the answer.
