Killer Mike: Bernie Sanders Is Our Guy

"...His record with African Americans is flawless, and the reason you don't know about it is cuz he don't have to go around preachin' and teachin' about it. Now's the time for us to research, to Google, to watch his speeches, check it out on YouTube, see what you think about him at home. You're going to be compelled to vote for this man.

And if your minister's not telling you to, that's not the church you need to be going to. If your lodge members' not telling you to, you need to leave that lodge.

That's it. That simple. This is our guy and he should be."

Sanders wants to bring life to Dr. King's dream.

This is bringing up the political tone of this country. No more doing politics while under the influence. The influence of money, or stupidity, or hate.

I was excited about Bernie before entering the race. But to see this kind of diverse enthusiasm is really surprising to me. There's nothing apathetic going on here.

It's crucial to these younger folks listening. The whole notion of nonviolence. Being civil in every way. All we have to fight is fighting.
