Killer Mike Previews Bernie Sanders Interview
Killer Mike: “What is socialism and what does it mean to the black community?”

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton rarely came up during the almost hour-long interview and Sanders admitted something he usually doesn’t: He is in a tough fight.
On the other hand, Sanders has been surprisingly popular among prominent rappers. “That’s some bomb shit”, Killer Mike says by way of asking Sanders about his civil rights activism with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in the 1960s. Bernie Sanders has been the force behind an exciting maelstrom in American politics as thousands of people normally stagnant in political involvement have rushed to the forefront of the election efforts. Yesterday the MC born Michael Render posted a wide-ranging interview with Vermont senator and Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders. Sanders’ views on healthcare. Go to Scandinavia, Germany, France…Everybody has health care. “I rap, and I rap about a lot of the stuff that you rant about, and I wanna talk about that”. Honestly, I’m not sure what to make of it. [Free] college makes sense to me… “They don’t know why they are angry, why things in their lives are going badly”.
TV personality Mike Rowe has a large following on social media. Sanders said. “I live…” You’ve got people in this community trying to get by on 12, 13 thousand dollars a year.
Sanders: “Why in God’s name would somebody stay up at night trying to cut their Social Security benefits, cut their Medicare, Medicaid benefits”. At this point, most perusers of any media form are in scroll mode, looking for the clip, the boildown facts and tweets, the next context-free quotable to garner clicks, hits and gives-a-shits, without concern for moving the needle of our general consciousness. “You have the Constitutional right to do that”. You have a right.
When you go for a first bump, don’t miss. “Are you really free?” I got into the politics because I give a damn. You know what, I love democracy. “Why is that person, all else being equal, earning less money?” “Is it moral that the top 1/10 of one percent owns nearly as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent?”
Calling the myth of college for all an “increasingly risky idea”, Rowe bristled at the notion “a college education is the best path for the most people” and said he was replying to “simply shine a light on the knuckleheads who continue to perpetuate this nonsense”. “I saw steel leave, industry leave in the 80s”. What we saw, if I can use some bomb shit, is we saw our friends getting the shit kicked out of them. Trust us, it’s worth your time.

Sanders regularly speaks about apathy, particularly in people who think the political process is rigged.
