Racial inequality in banking is a huge problem. Killer Mike thinks he has a solution
www.cnn.com
Michael Render — the Atlanta rapper better known as Killer Mike — says he got an early lesson in personal finance from his mom and grandfather, who bought him and his sister stock in Delta and Coca-Cola, two of Atlanta's largest employers, before he was old enough to drive.

We don’t think you fight fire with fire best ; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism. We’re stood up and said we’re not going to fight reactionary pigs and reactionary state’s attorneys like this and reactionary state’s attorneys like Hanrahan with any other reactions on our part. We’re going to fight their reactions with all of us people getting together and having an international proletarian revolution.

            Sauce? Haven't listened to them for over a year as they haven't released any new good stuff, but I didn't know it goes beyond Ameer.

                after his tweets Titus said Jon used to make jokes about noises coming from Ameer’s room.
