"White Mike" on the Absence of White "Killer" Radio

Reverend Michael Smith, known as "White Mike," questions why mainstream radio only features black artists bragging about automatic weapons and murder. He notes that while white people commit crimes and use drugs, there is no "white killer" equivalent on the radio. He argues that black murder has been "normalized" and "romanticized" by white-owned media companies because it is a profitable American appetite.
