    Thank you Killer Mike. I will never forget the day one of my coworkers interrupted a group gripe session where we were harping on one of our favorite targets. He said: "I think we're not listening." Calmly, quietly, because that's who my coworker was. Neither I or any of the rest of us changed that day but, for me, when I feel a rant starting, I try to ask myself "Am I listening"? As you might say, "Am I open to hearing?" Thank you again. I might actually try listening to so e rap music because of you and this speech.

    We live in a Feelings nation.
    Some feel they are superior to others. Some feel they are more deserving than others.
    Some feel they are above the law. Some feel they can rule over and subjugate others. Some feel they can tell others how to speak, when to breathe, live and raise their children. Some feel ALL others must worship within the same religion and pray to only their "god." Some feel their previous horrific actions, along with others history, accomplishments, culture, and humanity are erasable from existence.
    When some begin to think their feelings can revoke the human rights, life and livelihood of another, its no longer feelings. Its ego with an added narcissistic, abusive character trait.
    That is what created this nation and that's what leads it til this day.

    Solid speech by Killer Mike. I can appreciate anyone taking action on behalf of their people and not just talking about it. My only constructive criticism about this address is the use of the word, HEAR. Brother @KillerMike hearing is simply detecting sound, but LISTENING is with intention and it’s an active process to give your attention. It involves not only the ears (like hearing does) but, LISTENING involves the mind and our ability to process and make sense of what we “hear” because we are actively “LISTENING.” #RESPECT #LOVE

    An article in the German "WELT" about KILLER MIKE brought me here. I could only read the headline and the beginning, because a subscription was needed to go further. But it was enough to search him up and see what else he has to say. Since I'm not a big fan of hip-hop I had to find another source. I'm glad that I listened to what he had to say. I'm glad I did. I will spread his message. I'll listen even though others don't want to hear what I have to say.

    Killer Mike killed it. (Bring back civics in education! Along with Mrs. Henderson types!)

      This speech is a great, great example of why we need to teach civics. I was thinking as he spoke about his teacher.

    I dont always agree with everything he says but Killer Mike is an intelligent and wise man who's always looking out for his people. I'm 10 min in and so far this is a great speech
