(14,896 posts)I am just getting to know Killer Mike and Nina.
Killer Mike was impressive.
The more I see and hear of him the better I like him.
He is so very intelligent and informed on the issues.
Nina had some great insight as well.
Dr. Cornel was so excited at the end.
"Ohhhh that's rich.

(357 posts)I watched live too. Great discussion.
A striking side note (in my observation) is how clearly those four visionaries like and respect one another.
Killer Mike and Sen. Turner also discuss the heat they've taken for "stepping out of line" within the black community by backing Senator Sanders. Sounds similar to the view of many HRC supporters here that it's Hillary's turn and that's that. Some folks see past labels, to the heart of things. Those who support Senator Sanders get that this election is about "the people." We've gone long enough with excuses and apologies for a system that is rotten to the core.
