To racist morons like Uber, don't bother watching it, given that you think that EVERYONE IS PERFECTLY EQUAL AND THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS RACIAL TRENDS.

But otherwise, first good messaged hip-hop song I've heard in a long while.

Technically, everyone is equal, or has the chance to be.

I think everyone is equivalent, not equal. If we were all equal than we wouldn't have a reason to become a racist or bully people. What racists may not accept is that (for example Belgium people) are equal in terms of ‘value’ in regards to for example Dutch people. Doesn't mean they're equal though.. hell those crazy Belgs can't even decide if they want to be french-, or dutch-speaking .

To be equal means to be the same as something else. No-one is the same as anyone else. Equality is not something that corresponds to natural reality, it's a modern, western moral ideal with a view to creating social responsibility for the weak and restricting prejudices which can cause social tension, injustice and inefficiency.

So it's good and I don't diagree with it, but the idea that everyone is equal is laughable. It should be seen as the moral guideline that it is and not an actual fact.

I'm aware of the classics, and I have much respect for real, true to the tradition hip-hop. However, this song is the best to ever gone mainstream.

Huh? I'm racist because I understand that race is a social construct? But go ahead, keep believing people of different ethnicities shouldn't have sex, like NuK3m. You'll just be another dumb fuck that can be ignored (as if you aren't already).

He obviously doesn't understand the term 'racist.' Hopefully my last post straightened him out.

Racism is the belief that your race is superior, or the repression of another because of race. However, it's just as ignorant to assume that there's no such thing as cultural differences that are affected by race.

Then again Uber, you also believe that we're the sole reason why the WORLD IS GOING TO FUCKING END, so I'm not surprised. Live real life for once, not a sheltered load of spoonfed bullshit.

I know several black people who are very well off and respectable. However, I do believe that race has an affect on culture and a person's upbringing based on todays world. If a white woman wants to have sex with a black man, go ahead. If it's vice versa, go ahead. I don't care what others do in bed. I've been through enough shit to know that race is a factor in some parts of a person's life, whether due to society or genetic reasons.

I believe that everyone is equal in terms of deserved rights. However, I do believe that people vary, and race can be a major factor.

Now excuse me, I peed my pants at the thought of getting in a fight with an internet tough-guy.

If an African guy was born and raised in China, he might be ethnically African, but he is culturally Chinese.

It is less about the color of your skin and more about the culture (and perceptions thereof) you grew up in.

Well, Mr. Furry, your quote, "[it's] ignorant to assume that there's no such thing as cultural differences that are affected by race," matches perfectly with the definition of racism: "a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement." It's clear you're a racist. There's no denying it. The problem you have, I think, is that you're simply ignorant and feed on the stereotypes you hear. You're still like 14 or something, so I'm not surprised you lack any great logical reasoning. But you're having a very tough time differentiating between race, ethnicity, and culture, and where these come from. This, also not surprising, considering you've probably had no formal education on the matter and spent you're entire life inside an animal outfit.

ANYONE WHO SAYS THEY DONT LOOK DOWN APON OTHERS ARE HYPOCRITES! ITS THE SAME THING AS SAYING CHRISTANS ARE PERFECT! TELL ME IF A NIGGER SHOT AND KILLED YOUR SIBLING IN COLD BLOOD YOU WOULD NOT CALL THEM A NIGGER. OK /RANT

point being, people like uBeR, are what we would refer to as a hypocrite. hear no, see no evil, speak no evil. take your head out of the sand and look at the real world you dumb fuck. Racism isn't taught, its learned. it may be taught for the children of KKK members, great. but its a trait learned over repetition.

how many "Gangstas" you know? none because im sure you dont associate yourself with them. Why not? if everyone is equal how come they aren't your friends? because your a racist fuck like the rest of us.

anyone who brought up the debate whether barak obama is black enough is obviously what im talking about. the black community is being represented by niggers alike who call themselves "gangsters" wear some normal cloths, get a job, and drop the attitude. show some respect to others and respect will be given.

How many Ethiopians do you know? Why don't you associate with them? Why aren't they your friends?
How many rocket scientists do you know? Why don't you associate with them? Why aren't they your friends?
How many movie stars do you know? Why don't you associate with them? Why aren't they your friends?
How many gourmet chefs do you know?
Do you see why you're a moron now?

I would assume you're very accepting and tolerant offline because you have to be. I would assume that if you walked around talking about how you hate "niggers, spics, [and] chinks", you would likely get a beating.
You are who you are on the internet because you don't have to fear any repercussions, and can say what you really think. You don't have the guts to do that in the real world. As for your weak "lol if you think there's a correlation, you're a total moron" defense, it's just that, a weak defense.
