(488 posts)This video, this music, and the lyrics are the most powerful I have seen and heard since Childish Gambinos This is America. It is a direct rebuke of Trumps vision of America. It challenge the overt racism of the radical right. It is also a a direct , I am as mad as hell and I am not going to take it. Refrain that I hope will spread across our country from our Country as a whole. The guitar work is intoxicating and a 69 year old aging white hippy is now going to download everything that this young man has written and sang. Wow it is amazing!

(6,699 posts)I've had it with the South honoring their greatest mistake....trying to destroy the United States and preserve their slavery. Can you imagine what it would be like had they won? Sweet Jesus.
It's time we deplore that disgusting symbol that destroyed 600,000 lives 150 years ago. I'll spit on any dixie rag I see, and I'll do my damnedest to pull that rag to the ground as long as I live.
When I think of the blacks that fought in WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam, and they returned to being the same second class citizen they have been since slavery was "abolished". We should recognize our shame and move on...but recognize our shame first and foremost.
I suggest you watch the PBS Reconstruction documentaries on YouTube to get a perspective on just how awful a history this country has with relationship to people of color. We are continuing the same tyranny today that we have exercised for 500 years. We are ALL one race.
