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.

    i dont blame him or any black person coming to this conclusion at all!! I think its shitty when white leftists get superior about marginalized people who never got a taste of capitalism and wealth being apprehensive about dismantling the one thing that we've (falsely) been told all these years can give us more equality. i do think mike should know better though given who he capes for (bernie) but yeah, black people coming to the conclusion that black capitalism is the way to go is understandable and is meant to be called in by fellow black people and not to be sneered at
