David Banner's Message to America on Sway in the Morning [VIDEO]

Published on Dec 16, 2014

Following his conscious freestyle at the Hip-Hop Cypher at the BET Awards, David Banner swings by Sway in the Morning to speak his mind. He has a message to our culture and gives us tips and a probable solution.

"How can black people be held accountable for things they do, when they don't know what they're doing." Says Banner. "We don't know why we hate ourselves. We don't know why we're doing what we do." 

Further more, he suggests to have a strong "Knowledge of self" and tells us to "create our own. Distribute our own, and buy our own." While comparing ourselves to the "White Supremacy."
