Same. I was surprised that he stayed quiet when the other guy brought up ESG and DEI though. I’ve heard him rail against divisive programs like those that are intended to create tribes of poor people and divide what could be the largest group/union/class in the US.
Killa Mike’s philosophy is 'When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do'. Never mind that Rome is an imperialistic power and the chief beneficiaries of Roman imperialism are Romans and the most exploited by Roman imperialism are the Non-Romans.
@@Josh-fz9rhso you’re saying in another reality where he somewhere down the line didn’t succeed he’d still be saying this because the opportunity was there? I doubt it. It’s just his personal bias (and ego) speaking in my opinion
@@llRoBoBinHoll usually, yeah. People eventually come to terms with they Fd up on their own. Or even more simply - they are satisfied with what they have. But in THIS reality we have a generation that is obsessed with immediate gratification or is always in envy of others due to social media. Furthermore, we now have a generation that don’t wanna work for shit and they’re becoming a sheep to a government to take care of them. Just as any communist would prefer
To those criticizing Mike go look at everything he's involved in and the fighting he does. Capitalism isn't perfect but life is playing the hand that you're dealt. Are you financially literate? Part of beating the game is knowing the rules and the players. You change what you can but those who are making sarcastic remarks what are you doing to even the playing field? What are you doing to bring change? Or are you just commenting on the net, and looking at IG all day? Foh
As the saying goes "the rich get richer" in a capitalist system should also add "the poor become less poorer". There has been no economic system trial and tested that has achieved what Capitalism has done since its first writings under Adam Smith
@@Edison.m3806 But that's simply not true. The wealth gap in the US is widening every year while purchasing power for the average person continues to dive.
@@jimmyvau but I didn't mention anything about the US. The Nordic countries (which are universally labelled as the gold standard) use a capitalist framework with a strong social safety net. The US is just an extreme version of capitalism, same way China before Xi Jinping was an extreme version of communism.
@@brianmeen2158 equality isn't a goal line, it's the starting point. I.e. we all have equal rights to do with this life what we can. It's already been attained. "Equity" is the view that instead of equal opportunities, we should have equal outcomes. Equity is impossible, equality has already been realized.
Killer is Mike is the definition of a Chameleon which is not entirely a bad thing however you cannot present yourself as someone authentic when your actions and your actual beliefs say otherwise. On one hand Killer Mike says send your kids to black schools then on the other hand constantly operates within the larger capitalist and white dominated economic structure and uses their resources and presents it to black people as if its black owned , funded and operated which it is not. Killer Mike is against police brutality but champions capitalism which feeds police brutality. Killer Mike is smart but he has a little more reading to do and personal reflection if he wants to reconcile the numerous amount of ideological contradictions that he has
He shouldn’t be up there. Whites, Arabs nor Europeans would have someone that raps, taps or sings up there. Yes he’s smart, but be smart enough to say this isn’t my platform.
Because he pretty much sounds like every ‘well-intentioned’ wealthy person. ‘It’s okay that I get a crazy disproportionate amount of wealth because I’ll help some people with it.’ Even though they only give back a small percentage of what they have gained through exploitation of others
A venture capitalist having humanitarian causes is hilarious. And then that same venture capitalist saying he doesn’t agree that VC is the root of issues is even more funny.
I like free market capitalism. I think it can be even better without monopolies. They make it unfair and hard to compete. Get the government out of the college loan business. Let college compete with each other so tuition can be more affordable and average person. We need more private investment in trade schools in minority communities. This might sound strange but we need to figure out a way to turn street pharmacist into legitimate business owners. Can't keep poisoning our youth and expect different outcomes. We need to get back to educate our children to be able to compete for their future . What they are doing now is healthy for their future. Our grammar schools are failing and have been failing for years. Math, science in vanishing from our education system and replaced with inappropriate behavior.. Need to figure it quickly because that's where it starts.
@@amgirl4286 That statement is such a snide non sequitur. It's also what I call "cotton logic." By your logic, no black person should wear cotton. Never forget, the purest water is without fish. Purity is a fools errand.
@@amgirl4286, I don't believe in capitalism.

Everyone with something negative to say I’m curious if you were talented and your gifts made you financially successful would you give it all away to be anti-capitalist? Or if you could use said wealth to help your family and your neighbors does that make you some of the grotesque things you are saying about this man grow up
For one STOP ACTING LIKE AMERICAS VERSION OF CAPITALISM IS THE ONLY FORM OF CAPITALISM. All those countries in the eu have a different firm if capitalism. America has a far more greedy formnif capitalism that isnnot sustainable. Ifnyoy cry about the cosr of things RIGHT NOWA AND YOU TALK ABOUT INFLATION you are mad at the current version of american CAPITALISM.
Killa Mike is the whole reason I would actually listen to this conference.
Even still I’m fast forwarding a lot because they will chop it up
Hence his value at this conference. 🎉

Don’t it’s a SCAM
I’d love to hear a conversation between Killer Mike and Cornel West.
Hmm I like that.. can we add Thomas Sowell in that convo?
@@AndreColonno 🦝s allowed
Look at all these slave masters.
@Joey Afrika "Kill your masters." -Killer Mike
Now we know the REAL reason Rage cancelled the rest of the tour. Zack can perform with one leg just fine but he wasn't having none of this shit lol
I think there won't be more collabs between Zack and RTJ
Killa Mike’s philosophy is 'When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do'. Never mind that Rome is an imperialistic power and the chief beneficiaries of Roman imperialism are Romans and the most exploited by Roman imperialism are the Non-Romans.
Well said brother
Mike sitting between two elite, skinning and grinning, hoping to keep those checks coming.
What are you doing to bring change? How are you changing lives?
he changed my life with his comment, gtfoh @@amsf1
Easy, he’s not anti-capitalism because he’s RICH
Its always more complicated than that
easy, capitalism gave him an OPPORTUNITY to become rich.
sss

"All you guys do all day is comment on the net" -- a comment on the net.
This shit made feel sick
You lost me at equity. Even Bernie said equality, not equity, is the right way.
Equality is still an impossible goal to reach. Equity is even more absurd

i heard equity in the begg. and im triggered... and as the dude keeps talking im getting bad vibes 😥
Still going to listen
Why are people so mad at what Mike had to say?

@@llRoBoBinHollwell said comrade

Claud Anderson should be up there not a rapper. Yes I like Mike, but put Claud Anderson up there.

ESG?-F$&@ that!
Did you here that? "E.S.G."

I can tell you that the countries with the best education level among its citizens is more often those with socialised education system than not
You can’t have capitalism without monopolies
Capitalism cannot exist without oppression.
DAMN. That hit me hard.
Well, the proof is in the pudding. All those capitalists talk about is how they will get more and more for those who have less and less. It's nuts!
Collectivism IS oppression.

😂 ok
Notice he said his whole family made a decent living. They didn't sell drugs, commit crimes.
And you believe that?
@@Marc-n5e statistics support him lol
🎲🐍🎲
It's like he almost gets it. Mike can't be an ethical billionaire
He knows what to say to camouflage. He is pro exploitation.
Lmaooo I have 0 heroes now. Ok, 1, if ish pulled this id be balling.

Yes I would and many before has. Grow up and be aware when bs is being poured on your head.
He's a fraud. That's all I have to say.
Watch out for dudes like Mr. Killa Mike!! He’s a spook!
Drop some of that weight, brother.
