The album before this was literally called "White Trash, Two Heebs, and Bean." The song is sung by a jew saying "don't call me white" because I'm not "white." NOFX has many songs about race, including "Kill All the White Man" sung by guitarist El Hefe and "The Bews" which is pro-jewish and anti-nazi punk. Don't sleep on NOFX, they are freaking geniuses at lyricism and very serious subject matter.
I wholeheartedly agree 👌
Yessir!
Do they know this song is over 20 years old?
Pretty sure the song is being sung by Mike, who isn't Jewish. Or is the drummer singing?
Also, on Vin's statement, Marxism doesn't say that everyone in the disadvantaged class is "good" and everyone in the advantaged class is "bad", rather Marxism posits that such antagonisms do indeed exist and are fundamental as to why society works the way it does - which seems fairly non-controversial and if I'm not mistaken is what Vin himself is also saying.
Fun fact, a lot of Fat Mikes musical influences were straight edge bands in the 80's.
The CONTEXT of this is in the make-up of the band. They even have an album “Two Heebs, White Trash & A Bean” and this song was written because while they’re light skinned, they’re Automatically “white”. This song is also from the early 90s!
You almost got that title correct
@@BrandonKClark86 fair enough, so I mixed up the title a little lol ya still know what I meant
@ocfyrefyghter just busting your balls haha :)
More NOFX please... The decline bring me here... You're both awesome
I’m pretty sure they did the decline
This was one of the best, most interesting, and informative reaction vids I've seen. Loved it! Thank you.
Ya'll are good people, & I don't agree w/ all of your views/beliefs/positions - but I have a great deal of respect for you because you're honest, intelligent, thoughtful, informed, fair, tolerant, & humble. And I'm sure you're having a positive impact on the world by sharing what you have to say, & what you see & experience, w/ us all.
Keep up the good work, & keep working towards your goal.
I loved this song growing up because it seemed to represent my feelings about being grouped with other white people. I grew up in east Texas. I was a privileged white male from an intact and loving family who was also a teenager so I had to be mad about something. So I got mad about looking similar to all the racist fundamentalist assholes around me. It represented everything I hated. I don’t know that that was the intended meaning of the song, but that’s what I felt listening to it.
Nah its about Rittenhouse is cool
@@dstrtdabortion just stop. Get some help.
Nofx and Nomeansno reviews in just the last week, I love you so much.
Damn thought you were going to discuss the great nofx song but 20 mins haven't heard anything about the song yet
Strange take. It’s about people assuming he’s a racist or a jerk because of the color of his skin, it’s not like we’re talking quantum physics here.
Thank you! Exactly, that's how I've always felt this song was saying and it's exactly how I feel as an individual! I think someone needs to tell them; You do know that punks reject and rejected the system before it was a trend or a fad or lectures about pronouns were lobed fasciately at people right?
I'm unapologetic. Reparations aren't ever coming out of my pocket. All my good black/native friends know this. I'm part of NO COLLECTIVE MF. Get your damn hand/eyes outta my wallet!!! You wanna eat? Come the fuck over! I'll treat you like family.
@@thomasmichael2766 sorry that I’m only just now responding, but yeah. I don’t see how anyone could misconstrue the meaning of this song so badly. They talk about the song for over an hour and they don’t even get close to being on point with the subject matter. Pretty disappointing. 😂
@@KickflipGnasty Thank you, never too late!
There was a different dynamic in the eighties and nineties, and it was an us VS. them mentality, but it was the downtrodden and the victims of prejudice (redundant) against the elite) Thank you for your response, man, I'm glad PUNK ROCK isn't totally dead, it lives on through people like you and me ";)
Only lasted 15 minutes but I'm sure they understood it better eventually but they're misunderstanding nofx from title alone
He is a lefty from Northern California. He is also singing about his shame at being White. I bring this up because he is saying that he is both ashamed of the crimes that are associated with his ethnicity and also that he doesn't want to be blamed for those crimes based only on his ethnicity. I also am a lefty who grew up in California in a town where there about 5 or 6 white kids per grade in a school with over 5000 kids in total. I got beat up many times while being pelted with ethnic slurs based on my perceived 100% White ethnicity (my mother is half Puerto-Rican) and I experienced a lot of being excluded socially as well. I am unaware of my place in a collective either. I have 100% had privilege once I left my town in California for sure, but I also remember what its like to be mistreated and ostracized daily by a large portion of the population in my home town just for my race. I think if you knew enough about Fat Mike - the singer - you would realize that his understanding of his place in the collective is far more nuanced than you have perceived about him on the basis of this song.
I think it's also extremely important to point out the fact that Fat Mike is jewish
next you can break the ice with Guilty of Being White by Minor Threat
Cringe lyrics imo
@@Imnottapinata but many should hear the pre-pc way of rational thought in song. very cringy indeed. Just weird how afraid people truly are of common relation/disruption. That band couldn’t release that song now even with clear understanding. that’s the point
@@lustalgia... Waaahh, some Black kids were mean to me at school, so I’m gonna write a reactionary, angry song about it LOL Song is stupid. Always has been, always will be. 🤷♂️
not a chance and that’s the problem with emotion over understanding. Racism is racism and that hurts some to an extent because of levels of racism historically or currently but silence is anger brewing.
@@lustalgia... The lyrics are dumb. I’d be embarrassed if I were Ian. It’s not even offensive, just plain silly.
NOFX is dope as fuck live. Do you know what felching is?
More punk please. Pennywise. Perfect People. Please!!!!! Be the first please
Haha aliteration
I think you need me for that one !.. I reacted a lot of times to pennywise !.. 😎
“Yeahhhh!. I am a perfect people”
Agreed!
There shite
Something worth noting, because this song is in many ways about white identity, it's actually really muddy in the American context. Internationally it's pretty much not used within the context of oppression - I.E. in Germany they don't have white nationalists, they have German nationalists. In Poland they don't have white nationalists, they have Polish nationalists. In America, whites aren't even native so that sort of nationalism doesn't make sense. However, we still have white nationalists. Additionally what constitutes as white in America has shifted a ton. At various points in US history neither Irish nor Italian immigrants were seen as "white". This was largely due to the fact that the whites in power had British roots. Interestingly, if you look at census forms Hispanic is not an option - this is because Spanish people (as in people from Spain) were considered white. Due to Spaniards invading South America it actually leads to an odd situation where a lot of South Americans will use "white" as their racial identity due to the Spanish heritage. This also means that historically a lot of Latino/a people have been considered to be more white than Italians and Irish people are. In modern America, white supremacists can't tell the difference between beans, potatoes, and pasta, so they've shifted to accepting the Irish and the Italians as their own and turning their back on Spanish people due to how closely they are associated with Latin America. It's all sorts of goofy and dumb. To me, the real tragedy of whiteness is knowing that white identity is closely associated with idiots instead of being associated with my beautiful porcelain skin.
💖💖🦄🦄
Even though your Koala face don't make sense a lot of times, you did spit some facts here. And for that, I congratulate ya.
@Loki Gneiss I think a lot of that perspective actually comes from growing up in a poor very mixed area. Some of my best friends growing up weren't white. I also grew up relatively poor with dinner sometimes being whatever the bakery didn't sell that day. So on one hand I had the experience of being poor, but on the other hand I had experiences with both sides of the social coin. I mostly understand the struggle, I think, but also as bad as it got nobody treated me as lesser either. You know, I had those weird experiences of having 1 Christmas present shared between 5 people, but also people thought I just owned a Sega Genesis to myself so I was still at least somewhat in the in group despite mostly preferring the outcasts.
Everything above. White as a category of people only came into being as a tool of anti-abolitionist propaganda, in America somewhere around the 1800’s. There is no real group of people called “white”. No ethnicity, no shared identity, experiences, mindset, music, food or culture. It was invented as a way of unifying all European peoples in America, many of whom hated each other, so as to create a curated and controlled sense of us vs them, the us being “whites” and the them being, of course, enslaved Africans. There are, in fact, no white people. It’s not a thing you can be.
ohhh ok I get it now. A repost of a livestream. I was so confused for a minute there.
I love this song because fat Mike had the balls to make a song about this subject.
I'm totally loving this video! Thanks for educating people. I always thought this song could be difficult. As a kid in the 90's I loved that nofx kinda expressed embarrassment here, but I didn't know anything. I've always lived in Europe and couldn't read english lyrics well (not my native language). When Barack was elected i was crying from happiness (as a white non-american), Europe isn't better at all but i feel pain whenever horrible news are coming from the states.
Love your videos! 💜💜💜
yeah you totally missed the meaning of this song.
Im part of the collective? I have original sin? I can say im an American because I physically am but some dude who died 300 years ago represents MY entire race in the 21st century your takes are ridiculous
It was a ripost against Minor Threat's song Guilty of Being White
This guy would clearly hate that because he didn’t even get the meaning of this song. Lol this was pretty discouraging to listen to. They talked about this song for over an hour and didn’t even get close to being on point about the subject matter.😂
Try "leaving Jesusland"
Or "You Will Lose Faith" from that same great album Wolves in Wolves Clothing lol.
Or You're wrong
You should listen to the "the idiots have taken over", it's about you
hahaha nice
If you are impressed on this song, Wait till you listen to "The Idiots are taking over" "72 Hookers" "I'm outta angst" and "The Decline" . Keep in mind that this song is early 90's not the F'd up 2020's! Honastly they have a LOT of AWESOME songs.
NOFX ❤
I believe the song to be a question less of "am I the victim?" and more so "am I the enemy?" I think he's really trying to speak that "don't point the gun at me"
Much love to my family
Your editor shouldn't quit their day job
this band is made up of 2 jews a white and a hispanic so this song makes sense.
Punk In Drublic is one of the best '90s albums,so I'll sub. ya! 🏴
God I miss this scene so much!
Can you guys check out nofx radio. Nofx and rancid did a CD where they sung each others songs and nofx turned a hard punk song into a mellow reggae sounding song
Love the community you have built didn't get flamed for my opinion even though controversial mad respect too all of you
NOFX Double at the triple rock 🎧 will shock you 😇
More NOFX please…Or Radiohead
Glad that you guys gained the courage to speak out the truth about the Israel conflict unlike many other Christians in this country. Let's hope y'all don't get called out as "anti-Semitic" for that.
Great discussion.
I love this song!. If you want or at least if your interested in more NOFX to listen in your free time, they got two great songs I really like. First NOFX song is "best god in show" and second song is "seeing double at the triple rock". Hope you all like the songs, hought you all might be interested. Hope you like them.
I'm in my 50s now... and that makes me aware it's now roughly 30 years ago I was jumping around as hell on a NoFX-Concert in Germany which was part of a festival including Lagwagon and more in an old public pool without water and the crowd in the bassin...I broke my nose that day but it was worth it! :)
Don't call me white was my hymn because of so many situations I was in so many times in my life , mostly in other countries like Portugal , Morocco but even in the Netherlands and Belgium.
I'm heavy tattoed and naturally bold headed since my early 20s...and I am German so I got called a Bonehead (Nazis are not Skinheads in the traditional meaning) , what I am definetely not, for so many times including the Nazi salute and getting called "Kamerad" , what always was disturbing to me...
I am aware of the crimes that took part in history of my homecountry , but I am not responsible. I would , if I'd let it happen again but I am not ashame for my Country because the majority is against National-Socialism and racial prejudice . The problem is that there are some Di...heads feeling disadvantaged in many ways and aren't immune against manipulation by antidemocratic headhunters of the Nazi-Scene that promise recognition and unity ,catching the rats...Sadly this is exactly what the community should do but fails more and more...so I will be exposed to social (not racial ) prejudice although one of my best friends (coming from Zaire) once called me "the blackest white dude he ever met" ,what was a compliment to me...:)
But at the end of the day I think the diuscussion of race , colour ,religion , gender and so on and on and on is totally obsolete when people finally recognize that we are one big family on a tiny rock moving Through endless nothing and we are all we can rely on. Politics , religion and the colour of our skins are only made to divide and put one group ahead the others...sad but true...
Love this song. Haven’t heard it on over a decade. I think you’re right about not listening to each other. Also, think what you said is the biggest issue we face as Americans. You said “I grew up being horribly portrayed in the media”. Now white people are being betrayed horribly in the media. I understand the lack of sympathy towards it. Truly
The bigger problem I think is that the media drives racial issues to divide and boost ratings. 80% of the country just want to get along and be treated like people but there’s the other 20% that are pushing narratives.
I grew up with every one of my heroes being black. Sports, music, TV movies etc. Never thought to dislike a race because of their pigment, but that’s the narrative media pushes so hard because black/white is a ratings grab.
Don’t mean that to down play the life anyone has had or struggles they’ve faced, but in my day to day I encounter all races, religions and economic classes. It’s never a thing. It’s good people treating people like people.
We need more of that.
You guys should check out “The Big Takeover” by the Bad Brains
Please do pennywise- society. I think you'll find it extremely interesting
Please react to the band One Of Us, their song The Force.
Do some descendants, bad religion, black flag,old Green Day,etc
Dead Kennedys
Nick Fuentes won!
Songs about not being labelled! What my generation was all about..... Be a good person and thats what matters....
Listen to NoFXs Leaving Jesusland
Toll Paid
We celebrate the Fourth of July because we have one of the best founding documents and the longest running Democracy in the world. We can celebrate people that came before even if we're not related. We can love other cultures more than others because they celebrate the same things that we do, democracy, equality, freedom, science, and progress, and defend them from their enemies because those people are the opposite. This is not "Cheating" or taking sides arbitrarily.
Also, I always loved this song. It's POSSIBLE that some of my IRISH ancestors (NOT) had slaves but that's not my fault and I hold all people's inborn traits equally. I have no problem disliking you for your actions, and nobody should.
Christians saying "gang gang" and "the big homie" okay now
Comtinue with PARADISE LOST - Eternal. Please!
You guys need to watch "Heil Satan" and realize it's not glorifying Satanists
also fat mike the singer/bassist calls himself jew-ish.
Pennywise - Fight Until You Die or AFI Days Of The Phoenix next . This song is anti-racist song !..
Solstafir - Non 🙏
Oof totally forgot about this song. I wonder how well it's aged...
Honestly like fine wine imo
Vin being sociopoliticaly rational.Then believing in a god. Weird .
"sociopolitically rational" what a joke
Yes because being religious means you are inherently stupid
Odd rant in the middle. You seem to know just enough to get you into trouble. Selective knowledge applied improperly.
Does the song actually PLAY at ANY POINT IN THIS VIDEO? Thumbs down.
Yeah, it starts 2 mins into the video 😂
Good job getting the entire message wrong. Right wing christians
Yep!
The singer is a jew. Don't call me white means something
I’m surprised you have don’t any of your man Nergal’s side project Me and That Man. His new album is out and I wouldn’t mind seeing your philosophy in “Angel of Light.”
Oh, saying Secularism = opinion = the wrong one.
The hole is shit!!!
Bro wtf
Boomer editing. *spring sound*
Destroy Nations.
I was wondering how we milked from this one. I kinda agree that the Kyle rittenhouse situation is an absolute mess when it comes to public opinion, media loves a firestorm and oh boy what a firestorm you can spread on this one. Both sides are just throwing up whatever npr or fox has told them and everyone is an arm chair legal expert. I think one element is the cultural imagery your dismissing with the Texas shooter and Kyle rittenhouse is kinda more important than maybe your giving it. So I get it, in a legal sense this kid is innocent and I'll even admit he has self restraint when operating the fire arm. I do understand that this is just ultimately tragedy. But cmon the "message" this case has sent is signifagent even if its distoreted. Seeing a kid kill protesters and get off with no charges is justified under a nuanced understanding lost on FUCKING EVERYBODY, so what penetrates our culture is white people can do whatever the fuck they want. People arent going to give this the nuanced understanding it deserves, that is sadly the cultural message that has been broadcasted if that makes any sense. You can reply so people dont deserve justice in court if it tells a negative cultural message. I am an American, this place was built by slaves over the bones of the native population, doctors have profited off creating an opioid epidemic, banks left people homeless over illegal scams, police act with impunity, and were funding a Palestinian genocide that both parties love, where is this illusive justice. What obligation do we have to justice if it stokes a terrifying message. We seem perfectly happy ignoring justice when there is money. this justice is a whites only club. I guess I'm concerned the false narrative this situation projects is being drilled into everyones head and will encourage more abject human tragedy. We live in a post truth era and should you dismiss that. Sorry if that was rambly and incoheirent.
That is pretty f..ing awesome. I did read it all.
The guy who wrote and sings this song is Jewish, so I’m pretty sure it has a lot to do with that.
We are the Body of Christ we are a collective👍
The difference between individual racism and systemic racism is that you could say "I don't agree with slavery because I'm not racist, so I won't have any slaves. But if I would, I could".
wow you need to get a new hobby if you sincerely think about racism to this extent
@@bigbirdmusic8199 What part of what I said was wrong?
@@bipolarewok its a completely made up scenario that no normal person would ever conceptualize because they dont think about race as much as you racists do
@@bigbirdmusic8199 first of all I was just putting an example of a difference between one and the other. And second, it's an example that happened in a lot of countries, and assuming you're an american, including in YOURS. So again, what part of "if it's legal to buy a race of people as slaves, then the system is racist" is wrong?
@@bipolarewok You cant buy slaves today, so the system isnt racist by your standards right? Stop putting mental energy into something that isnt even happening, racist.
many of the anti-sjw type dudes have now grown up into transgirls, is something i feel like i see a lot
This song literally is a joke. No facts is made up of two heebs a bean and stinky.
You're incredibly hypocritical.
