EXCLUSIVE
Killer Mike says he can forgive Bette Midler for her racially insensitive and offensive tweet about women, but if she really wants to make up for it … she needs to do more than talk.
We got the Atlanta rapper and activist at LAX and asked him — despite Midler’s very poor choice of words — if there’s truth to what she said about the struggles of women.
Mike says yes, Bette makes a solid point backed by history … but he emphasizes that no group of people are treated worse than black women. He thinks if she really considers herself on their side like she says … it’s time for her to step up and do more.
As he puts it — Midler needs to be a co-conspirator with black women, not just an ally.
Mike gives some suggestions on how she can get started too … and even gives an example of how he learned to be an advocate for the cause from Jane Elliott, a white woman.
It’s super interesting stuff … check it out, Bette.
