POT TV – Rapper, activist and Run the Jewels member, Killer Mike recently spoke to Tavis Smiley about cannabis, politics and money.
“Plot, plan, strategize, organize and mobilize,” remarked Michael “Killer Mike” Render on the steps to social change.
Arguing passionately for control of local politics and money, Killer Mike mused on his mayoral options, as Atlanta debates relaxing marijuana possession penalties. Render continued, “One of the first things [Senator Vincent Fort] came out on besides the minimum wage was decriminalization of marijuana. Atlanta’s a Black city. 83% of marijuana arrests which puts our boys in a probation program are Black men. Why would I want that to continue when I need these boys going to trade school or going to college?”
