Killer Mike offers 'homework for all of white America': 'Now is time to stand up'
"But what I need white America to do beyond right now is understand that right now is," Killer Mike continued."It isn't just helping in the now -- it is being a part of fixing it always."
Additionally, Killer Mike offered one specific suggestion about how Americans can start dismantling the biases in their own lives."The first thing I want you guys to do is go to YouTube and Google 'Jane Elliott,'" he said."And spend one hour watching Jane Elliott teach people, not just speak ... she's not just speaking, but she's teaching people about the racism that is given to them, that they aren't even aware they have.
"She asks the question: 'How many of you all see how black people are treated in this country? How many of you all know how black people [are] treated?'" he explained."And then she says, 'If you'd like to be treated like that, stand up.' And no one in the crowd stands up.
The activist then concluded his entreaty by stressing the importance of white Americans no longer sitting on the sidelines in the fight for racial justice. "If there's a riot going on in the streets, you gotta start to understand that now is time to stand up -- with the people who are getting beaten up. With the people who are tired of being treated that way," said the rapper, whosewill be available for free Friday ."So my homework for all of white America, including you, is to spend an hour learning from Jane Elliott on YouTube tonight.
