Killer Mike has advocated for unity throughout his career, though even he makes one exception when it comes to racial integration.
During an episode of The Breakfast Club that aired on Wednesday (February 14), host Charlamagne Tha God asked the Atlanta native to elaborate on his 2019 quote on the same show: “I married a Black woman; lot of my critics did not.”
“Walter E. Williams said there’s only one case he agreed with in terms of segregation,” the 48-year-old explained. “He says: ‘That’s when it comes to marriage — you should marry a Black woman.’
“Who’s going to understand me like a Black woman? Who gon’ understand my pain, my strife, my struggle? Who’s going to understand culturally how important it is for my Black children to be proud to be Black? Even when she didn’t birth these children, she’s still their mother — nobody’s going to do that like a Black woman.”
He concluded: “That’s not putting down other people, but that’s [to] say before you criticize me now, I’m going to look at your life decisions, n-gga, and if your life decisions didn’t bring you to a Black woman, then, n-gga, a lot of the shit you say might not be [credible].”
Watch the Run The Jewels MC discuss interracial marriage at the 22:57 mark below:
Killer Mike has always been outspoken about sociopolitical matters, never shying away from defending and clarifying his stance when challenged. Earlier this week, the MC made it clear that he won’t stand for people lying on his name when it comes to his values and those he associates with.
The Grammy-winning rapper stopped by The View for a chat, during which host Sunny Hostin grilled him after he said he has a “good relationship” with GOP governor, Brian Kemp.
When she said Mike “lost her” with his “support” for the Republican, who defeated Stacey Abrams in the Georgia elections, Mike called her out for misrepresenting his politics.
“Not support of Kemp,” the Michael spitter said. “That’s some misinformation. You can not like me, but don’t lie on me.”
He continued: “He’s the governor of my state — I have to be involved with him. I can’t divorce myself. But let me say this: if you criticize someone, don’t lie. Don’t say I didn’t support Abrams, because I did.
“Don’t say I don’t support Democrats because I’ve helped get three Democratic mayors elected, two state representatives elected, but if someone is in the king’s seat, I’m not going to not have dinner with the king on behalf of my people. I have to do that.”
killer mike assumes every black man with a white woman specifically chose that and has some preference for white women. I can say for a fact that’s not true. unfortunately killer mike does have a point but I do believe where a lot of interracial couples fall apart is that families and backgrounds won’t mix. rather have a noble white wife than a trash black one and of course vice versa
Fuck that. Arguing all the time about nothing, baby momma drama, short tempered, confrontational, hostile, fickle women who hang around when things are going great but bail on you when things get rough and will likely place the blame on anyone but themselves. You can have that all day. They’re good for sex but responsibilities and dependability are not likely unless money is involved and as soon as that’s gone so are they.
What black women have you been dating because the black women I know are educated and hard working. Please don’t categorize and stereotype all black women because they’re not the same. That’s probably the environment you were raised in.
What pain would that be Killer Mike? Diabetes related you fatso?
Killer Mike displaying racism while constantly on his anti racism shtick. Imagine. White rapper said whites should only marry whites
As a man who only dates black women I strongly disagree. When you move to a good neighborhood the first thing you notice is how diverse the schools and parks are. If someone grows up with positive experiences with other races you don’t see the world that way. It’s the BULLSHIT that makes black people distrustful.
I love how black people live their entire lives constantly reminding themselves and others that they are black. Constantly alienating themselves from the rest of the population in interviews, music, movies, etc. Generations of black people fighting to be treated and viewed equally just to constantly remind themselves and others that they look different. They get called the n word once on the internet and grow up convincing themselves the entire universe is working against them. African Americans has to be one of the oddest groups of humans on the planet. Nobody else can openly talk about it because it’s “racist”, but boy is it so funny to watch from the outside in.
shhh dont tell em. keep the show going
I think the African American community as a whole is confused on what they’re even trying to do at this point. It’s always one extreme thing that contradicts another. Not enough black people on TV? Sure let’s make an entire channel for only black people. Let’s do exactly what we didn’t like in the first place. Don’t say the N word EVER, only let us use it casually amongst ourselves in daily conversation and in music and movies ALL OF THE TIME. We don’t want to be segregated in school, but let’s make black colleges. Not to mention the fact if Killer Mike was white and said white men should only marry white woman, he would’ve been cancelled before the interview was even over. Yet nobody says a word and I thought he was against racism correct? Like what is going on? Lol
N****, Are you retarded?
stay tuned for black millionaire complaining about imaginary “racism” at 6!
well what ever floats your fucken boat mate
What pain? He’s a fucking millionaire with several businesses kissing the ass of both republican and democratic politicians. Dude doesn’t need to be comparing himself to black people of the past, or modern poor black people. These cats from Atlanta be rich as shit running the city and claiming their struggling GTFOH. Only thing he struggles with is his weight.
Worst move Mike could have made. Racist opinions are just that.
Foh Killer Mike. Love is blind dummy. A true good person will understand any kind of pain anybody been dealing with and will show support.
He’s just a racist POS. That’s all there is to it. Stop focusing on your skin color your whole life. How mentally weak can you get…..
I’ve always thought Mike was a conscientious person but this is a ridiculous claim. It’s something a klan member would say. If you think your partner can only have your back if you have the same melanin count then you’re pulling the wrong women or/and you’re an idiot.
Excellent, just more racism towards whites. Just what we need

Wow, a host of racists upset that a black man is asking other black men to only marry black women. He’s 100% right. Only another black woman would understand because only the black woman goes thru what the black man goes thru.
So, for people to love one another, they must fully understand everything they go through in life? By that logic, only same sex couples should get married, because as men, we don’t understand truly what women feel or go through, and they do not understand things from mens side either. Nobody can truly understand or know what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes, including people of the same gender or rave. We all have difference experiences and perspectives.

Oh god, here we go yet again.
Is he right or wrong who knows? But The biggest night of his life he was arrested by some karen rent a cop. so clowns on here need to shut it. rap is worthless to me if all it generates is anti-black idiocy. we don’t listen to the people you rate
Love isn’t a skin color. It’s a personality trait. This fool is equating personality traits to skin color. Racist idiot.
Good lord. How long is this going on for? Marry who you feel happy with. I’m black and I don’t care who you marry. We have this unhealthy obsession with it. I don’t live my life based on the “community”. I’m starting to think some are just brain dead. We must all think..do and act the same. God gave us all a brain. Maybe we should start using it.
I hate this fat pig. I don’t know who decided that “Killer Mike” is going to be the mouth-piece for the ‘progressive black-left’, but he is not qualified to be given such a platform. First of all, a guy who doesn’t even have the self-awareness to understand why the name “Killer Mike” is a problem, or why being 400 lbs is a problem, but he thinks he’s somehow suited to tell others how to live their lives? This guy never has anything to say but divisive garbage. He’s not even a good MC, he’s a sweaty, blathering blow-hard, that goes on tv looking bummy, flabby, and sick, acting like he’s been appointed as the spokesperson for the ‘woke’. Somebody expose this fraud already.
When white ppl said this they were racist.. they notice their black woman trying other races after decades of sayyng w.o words they value white woman more than their own woman . I like black woman keep talking down on them so they keep running by me 🙂
so many haters and racists claim to love rap music and want to post on every topic. it was clowns like the kid mero and his stupid sellout attitude that let them in. that’s all
