♪ >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY.
WE'RE BACK WITH "RUN THE JEWELS 4" KILLER MIKE.
YOU HAVE "RUN THE JEWELS 4" COMING OUT FRIDAY, L.P. THE
OTHER HALF OF THE DUO FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW.
ANNOUNCED THIS WEEKEND IT WOULD BE FREE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS
MUSIC.
HOW DID YOU COME TO DECIDE TO DO THIS?
>> EVERY "RUN THE JEWELS" ALBUM HAS BEEN GIVEN AWAY FOR FREE AND
YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO BUY IT.
WE GIVE IT AWAY BECAUSE EVERYBODY CAN'T AFFORD MUSIC.
PEOPLE HAVE BILLS, CHILDREN, JOBS TO GO TO THAT'S NOT PAYING
THEM WHAT THEY DESERVE, SO WE DON'T WANT MONEY TO BE AN
IMPEDIMENT FOR YOU TO GET OUR RECORDS.
SO YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THEM FREE, ONE, TWO, THREE, AND FOUR.
>> Stephen: WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THIS ALBUM?
>> LIKE DRINKING A FRESH CUP OF COFFEE AND GETTING PUNCHED IN
THE FACE.
>> Stephen: THAT'S POSITIVE?
AND THEN SMOKING A JOINT AND GETTING A HUG AFTERWARDS.
>> Stephen: WOW, I'VE GOT TO SPEAN SPEND MORE TIME IN
ATLANTA.
( LAUGHTER ) ONE OF THE THINGS A LOT OF WHITE
AMERICANS DON'T WANTED TO NECESSARILY FACE OR ADMIT IS THE
HISTORY OF OPPRESSION OF BLACK PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES AND
THAT IT STILL CONTINUES TO THIS STAY.
>> ABSOLUTELY, IT DOES.
>> Stephen: SKIP GATES AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW SKIP.
>> I KNOW SKIP.
>> Stephen: HE DID MY GENEALOGY ONCE AND SAID TO ME
AFTERWARDS, HE SAID, YOU'RE WHITE, BABY.
YOU'RE THE WHITEST MAN I'VE EVER MET.
( LAUGHTER ) SO I'LL SPEAK ON BEHALF OF ALL
WHITE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW IF YOU WILL SPEAK ON BEHALF OF ALL
BLACK PEOPLE NOW WHEN I SAY, FOR WHITE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SUPPORT
BLACK PEOPLE NOW IN THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT, DO YOU HAVE
PHI ADVICE ON HOW THEY CAN BEST DO THAT OR JUST STAY OUT OF THE
WAY?
>> SO, NO, WE DON'T NEED YOU TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY.
WHAT I NEED YOU TO DO IS SEND FINANCIAL HELP TO SOME OF THE
ORGANIZATIONS I JUST NAMED BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE
ORGANIZATIONS ON THE GROUND, THEN GET YOUR BUTT DOWN THERE
AND HELP THOSE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PHYSICAL.
WHAT I MEAN WHAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW IS UNDERSTAND RIGHT
NOW IS ALWAYS.
IT ISN'T JUST HELPING IN THE NOW.
IT IS BEING A PART OF FIXING IT ALWAYS, AND THE FIRST THING I
WANT YOU GUYS TO DO IS GO TO YOUTUBE AND GOOGLE JANE ELLIOTT
AND SPEND ONE HOUR WATCHING JANE ELLIOTT TEACH PEOPLE -- NOT JUST
SPEAK, 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?
SHE SAID, IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT, STAND UP.
AND NO ONE IN THE CROWD STANDS UP.
>> Stephen: I SAW THAT.
O THAT MIDDLE EAST TELLS YOU YOU KNOW HOW WE'RE TREATED, YOU
KNOW IT'S BURDENSOME AND TROUBLESOME AND WRONG, BUT YOU
SIMPLY DON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S THE "NOT ME" FACTOR.
WELL, IF THERE'S A RIOT GOING ON IN THE STREETS, YOU HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND THAT NOW IS THE TIME TO STAND UP WITH THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE GETTING BEATEN UP, WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TIRED OF BEING
TREATED THAT WAY, SO MY HOMEWORK FOR ALL WHITE AMERICANS
INCLUDING YOU, IS TO SPEND AN HOUR LEARNING FROM JANE ELLIOTT
ON YOUTUBE TONIGHT.
>> Stephen: MIKE, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
>> I WANT TO APPRECIATE YOU ALWAYS FOR BEING AN ALLY.
I WANT TO APPRECIATE THOSE ON THE STREETS FIGHTING EVERY
SINGLE DAY FOR THE RIGHTS OF US ALL, AND I WOULD LIKE TO
APPRECIATE POLITICIANS THAT ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING ON A
PROGRESSIVE LEVEL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TINA TURNER AND
THE WOMAN OUT THERE WITH THE YOUNG MAN WHO WAS KILLED AND
TRYING TO GET JUSTICE FOR THEM NOW.
>> STEPHEN: "RUN THE JEWELS 4" IS AVAILABLE THIS FRIDAY.
KLLER MIKE, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH CHRIS HAYES.
