Seems like Killer Mike is ready to get in formation.

On Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher, the rapper joined comedian Margaret Cho, journalist Joshua Green, and host Bill Maher to discuss Beyoncé's Super Bowl halftime performance.

Maher quoted several conservative men, including Rush Limbaugh and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who've criticized Beyoncé's pro-black message. “White people, it’s not always about you,” Killer Mike responded.

The rapper and activist continued:

Killer Mike then gave a brief history lesson about the Black Panther Party, reminding people that the organization sought solidarity and education of "the people," and not just "black people."

“Black pride doesn’t have to take anything away from white culture,” Cho responded. ” I think this is what black America needed. It’s what all of us needed.”
