Killer Mike: We Must Put Our Religious and Cultural Differences Aside and See Ourselves as One Race and Species and People

EXCERPT:

KILLER MIKE: “Go somewhere and meet someone and have a conversation with someone who is not like you, not from your cultural background and continue to push humanity forward. I got an opportunity to ask the Dalai Lama a question a few days ago. I asked him why when every religious organization, every religion ever has told us that love is the greatest conqueror of all, do we as human beings continually choose fear? I don’t know if he answered the question directly, but the answer he gave me was profound. We must put our religious and cultural differences aside and out the door and see ourselves as one species and race and people. The only way that you ever get to that oneness is to acknowledge your differences, to make friends with people who are different from you so that you can see and acknowledge the differences on a personal level and then begin to see the similarities that bond us all. The Creator that put my people closer to the equator, which calls me to be dark with curly hair, is the same Creator that caused people in the Caucasus Mountains to have lighter skin and longer hair.”
