I understand this view but sometimes it’s not about changing things but just speaking about it. Idk, I don’t think every song on racism has to have an end goal of changing minds. Sometimes it’s just about speaking your truth and sparking conversation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but for me this message has been repeated over and over and isn’t anything new or controversial. It’s the same stuff we’ve been talking about for the past few years.

I mean we went from a progressive president to a nut-house so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are really dumb. Aren’t you? I have also been called an Uncle Tom. Because I call out the African american community when it’s needed. I do know that more black folks have to take responsibility for the crimes they have committed but I also understand that there is systematic racism. And no, things are not like they were before. But that does not mean that African Americans are not facing struggle within the system. Because of their race. I’m no savior. And I’m not trying to be one. I’m actually nice.

Pretty sure a lot of people have already realized it though Idk why people act like most people don't agree with everything this video is showing already, it's legit nothing new being preached.
