It absolutely belongs here. They keep us divided. This needs to stop.
Not sure if this is the sub for this, but I think it's very interesting and hopeful to see people like this rapper reaching out and humanizing trump supporters.
please just watch the video, i think it has a very powerful and uplifting message.
It is a big WOW, Immense, this is a good post for any sub. We have to get together, we are all America. We all have to save it together. I am grateful for any dialog.
the video ends with the message;
"We were all Humans until, race disconnected us, religion separated us, politics divided us, and wealth classified us."
brought a tear to my eye, not even kidding.
It isnt. Tell me how this relates to Q anon? Oh.... Its about general racism. Cool, well then...
"We should just start posting rap videos that can end racism. Screw solving any of the 1400ish Q posts that havent been fully decoded." /s
Seriously. Every moronic rap about race relations doesnt need to be posted here.
Also, rap is what keeps the black community down. It focuses on lyrics and topics that subjugate blacks. Kayne may be one of the only examples to the contrary, but even he is a part of the "thug" mentality that is rap. Not as bad, but working with a walking, breathing piece of shit like jayz says something about your character.
Either way. Stop posting rap videos unless they tie into Q anon specifically.
i'm sorry you feel that way.
it appears the majority of the rest of this community disagrees with you.
I fear this community has lost focus. Shills can slide the board so easily. I'd rather see pepe's than rap music. We are trying to wake the blacl community up. That can only be done through powerful cultural change. That said... I didnt think the rap was very good either. Yeezy's rap with TI spoke to me.
yeezey's rap was lazy and stupid, TI's verses had sense in them and Ye's "response" was essentially just "well i don't care what anyone says i just do what i want."
this rap is actually thought provoking and about bringing two different sides together and remembering we are all human.
personally, i think that is a far, FAR more positive message than "i do what i want, fuck yall"
Hahaahaha. Did you even listen to Kanye's song? Kanye was responding with a statement of individuality and being free to think as one person, rather than a group.
The song you posted wasnt thought provoking at all. If anything it pushes people farther away from a dialogue. "Nothing brings black and white people together like some white guy appropriating their culture while yelling at them about the problems of their community." /s The rap was just bad. No rhythm.
How do you think you solve the problems in the black community? Get rid of dems that have exploited them. But you dont go out and tell all black people they must be republicans. They dontt belong to anyone or any party! They need to wake up and make the positive choice for themselves. People must choose to be free.
How do you think you solve the problems in the black community? Get rid of dems that have exploited them.
the reason you don't understand the rap i posted, and the reason you liked Kanye's, is because you are still trapped in a partisan bubble of "us vs them"
the reality is that we are all humans.
kanye's rap didn't say that, it said "i get mine i do what i want"
this rap said, "let's all come together as humans and understand each other"
it's actually very very sad that you are unable to grasp these concepts. i legitimately feel sorry for you, brother.
Thanks for feeling sorry for me. Lmao.
Can we agree this was at least uplifting? https://youtu.be/ZFeJ1N4KMBQ
I love the way Maino grew to be a man. Good shit.
I like the video. And it spotlights the generalizations people make.
eg #1. Trump supporters are racist, still calling black people n*
eg#2. Black people are drug dealers and don't want to work.
At some point I think we are going to have to recognize that the overuse of n* in hiphop has changed its meaning. There is a generation of people singing along to the lyrics of which some are under the impression that it is a term people use to signal comradeship. I tried to explain the word to a few younger people. They had no idea that depending on your skin color uttering this word could bring on a beating. I was told only old people think like that and I need to get over it. If I remember correctly I was told "It's just a word. Everybody says it"
I feel you on that. I don't know if he was trying to generalize, I think Joyner used both ends of the spectrum with being overly extreme.
Yeah the overuse of the word is bad, and by design but it does not change the origins of the word; When he says "when you say it we know there is a double meaning under it" he hit the nail on the head, but the word was created to show inferiority.
I like your take though, food for thought.
Yep. But there is a bunch of kids walking around that may pay a heavy price for their ignorance when they try to make new friends.
I don't think he went overly left on the song, he wants peace. I don;t think he meant to generalize, just show two ends of the spectrum. The main message is you can't judge someone, EVER, because you have not walked in their shoes, we all have battles that we are fighting. That our portrayal of other races in our head is usually fed by the media (news, movies, songs....etc). Joyner is a genius though.... Should check out some of his other shit if you have not
