      Jack Sparrow Naw, it's clear he learned his flow from Scarface. But he put that style to some proper hardcore lyrics. I'm a racist, but I'll give props where it's due: not many, white or Black, will focus their intellect or rage at the right targets. He does.

      I like your profile pic, Amanita Muscaria aka alice in wonder land mushroom or mario shroom. I sell them for 5 dollars a piece and the cops can't touch me because it is one of the four only legal psychedelics. It contains no psilocybin just muscamol which is why it is legal and also hallucinagenic. I have people call the cops on me all the time and the cop just says oh sorry for bothering you and I'm trippin.

    In my opinion I found this song brilliant and most importantly a message that you don't typically find these days in rap. Yes we are blessed to be in America, but we as citizens have the power to have a say in what Ali is spitting in this song. Brother Ali is my favorite rapper of today for the fact that he doesn't receive enough attention due to his controversial lyrics.

They are blinded by their media to ever care what happens outside their borders. And its that American pride (particularly in the republican party) that justifies anything we do. Bottom line its education.

    • @marc3491
      @marc3491 Před 7 lety +3

      It's not as much progress as we'd think.
      New York is the most segregated school system in the US with blatant inequality, It was always like that and escaped the early days of integration because the legislation was specifically crafted to enable the northern school system to continue to be segregated.(The method is simple. neighbourhoods aren't integrated due to inequality so just maintain schools based upon local demographics) The southern states have within the last few years done a massive amount of backsliding on that front thanks to a random white parent undertaking a lawsuit over his daughter losing out on a spot because a black child got it instead.
      There was some early progress but that took a massive dive when the war on drugs started since it was clearly the war on blacks. Instead It targets blacks in this war involving military ordinance used upon civilians to remove the drug problem when all statistical data shows that whites are more likely to sell and use drugs. The inequalities in prosecution are ridiculous too. All of this leads to the disenfranchisment of the black man. Then they make it to the prison industrial complex reminiscent of the chaingangs of old where they are made to work for the profit of these prisons. This has grown so massive that we exceed the amount of people in the russian gulags while the soviet union still existed.
      Several years ago the FBI warned that the KKK and various hate groups were aiming to take control of leadership positions in law enforcement across the country. Nothing has been done since that warning and now it is a rarity to go a DAY without a (predominantly black) person killed at the hands of law enforcement. Children are now taught how to avoid being murdered at the hands of the police as a part of their curriculum. It is profoundly disturbing to me that we have "advanced" to the point that children have to be taught how to beg for their lives in school. I cannot understate just how messed up this is.
      Thanks to the power of this information age the moment we see a great many things anew. We read the newsletters filled with hatred and bigotry disseminated among major police forces. For some strange reason the college elite of America tend to sing with joy and exuberance about the virtues of lynching n*****rs from trees when they don't realize people can see them. Psychological studies show that this most recent generation is just as racist in their worldviews as they were 60 years ago and merely have different excuses for why things are the way they are.
      With all of this one might have to ask just what is different now? It's pretty simple. As long as you aren't caught saying an N word then everything and anything is perfectly fine. There were little concessions here and there but so long as you aren't openly racist you can get away with it.
      And that's how we have a racist/sexist/bigoted in ten thousand different ways pedofile conman in a position where he could legitimately win the presidency of the United States.

    This is a conclusion I came to as a result of working in the system and realizing we can do more to change the system by the way we live verses trying to use force or psychological manipulation to change people. How do you change someone who does not want to or see the need to change? Brother Ali is an amazing artist with a powerful message. However, I believe the real revolution is that of the mind and conscious elevation. You cannot be a slave to the system if you live free in the mind.
