Ya all haters talking some shit! It's not about being black, white yellow... It's about being human, about loving somebody caus' he's a good man, a good friend! When we cut our self's our blood is red no matter what color our skin is! Everybody's shit stinks too...! That's all about life is... Loving and respecting each other!
I am an American History scholar, and whawt Stat421 one said is 100% incorrect, never in American history were whites used as slaves. Indentured servants, yes, however that was a temporary work arrangment. Yes it was a difficult binding arrangment, but they were still paid. whites were always partly compensated for their work.
Libya is probably doing the absolute best in all of Africa, they're respected, rich and unique all free from white european intervention. During colonialism the country was nothing, following the revolution regardless of international politics the country has blossomed.
First of all, slavery, ended long ago...and second, the whites used their own people as slaves, initially, they were called, indentured servants; later, they decided, also, to use the Indians as slaves but there were too many issues of the white mans varied diseases being spread through native bloodlines: countless Indians died from the white mans diseases...
Ignorance is the pathway of the the conceited, arrogant and pretentious; the path of righteousness is understanding and selflessness. respect yourself and others will surely follow. Do you want to be cool? Then don't be uncool.
First Africa is not a country...Yes Africans practiced slave trade. Sometimes used their POWs as slaves or sold them. A mass enslavement of civilians was enforced by the Europeans. Which one is more barbaric? With it came the concept of whites' superiority over blacks. Skillz114,you sound like you have never read a book about Africa! So why talk? I hate people who try to deny the barbaric acts their ancestors had committed.
no. Africa was the wealthiest Country in the World.
Which is why america Stripped the land of majority of its Diamonds & Gold.
Also, because of Modern technology in Europe the Air smog Filtered into the Africas Sky's and Ceased the Monsoons to occur Annually, now a vast mjoirty of the land in africa is Dry, and un-inhabitable.
You heard of the the civilizations of NUBIA(SUDAN),AKSUM(ETHIOPIA), SWAHILI KINGDOMS(EAST AFRICA),TIMBUKTU + SONGHAI + GHANA + MALI + KANEM-BORNU(WEST AFRICA),ZIMBABWE (Near SOUTH AFRICA)?
Well, the Europeans also divided and ruled Africans, sold them as slaves, and when they left, so many Africans had to die in a war to secure the "borders" artificially created by the Europeans.
Read a book by Christopher Ehret called "Civilizations in Africa until 1800"...IDIOT!
Any white person who defends the nigger race is indeed a more severe raciest than Hitler was. The mere notion that you are superior in thought and you must come to the aid of another race (typically black) and make excuses for their behavior only shows that you think of yourself as superior as they are incapable of having an intellectual argument without you.
No hate in my heart, I simply think we should make write the terrible injustice that has be done to the nigger race in bringing them against their will to this country and forcing them to pick our cotton. We offer restitution in the form of a one way ticket to africa (any nation there you choose) That way you can escape the white devil and be with your own people.
When you arrive in africa you will be solely responsible for yourself and will no longer have that abusive white devil forcing the free housing, food stamps, welfare, Medicaid and numerous other social programs on the peace loving black folks.
In africa you will find that you are amongst your own kind who think as you do and the government there is all black, so are the police. So no more Rodney King beatings.
When he starts making songs about ass, bitches, drinking, bentley's, and the like. Then i'll start hating Common. Until that time, I still think he's one of the freshest artists out there and if he gets more exposure then that's good for him. He's worked hard for where he's at and he deserves it.
I don't see how common or will-i-am are biters/fakers. I don't hear them talking about shyt they don't know about. If their songs sound like other peoples maybe that's cause there's a million plus artists out there and people aren't like snowflakes. I think you're just one of them hater rappers that never made it or your just into that gangsta rap from posers like 50. If you truly HATE this music then there's something mentally and morally wrong with your brain.
Makes it look like only minorities have it tough in America.If you are under-represented, under-educate and under appreciated, it don't matter if you are white, black, brown, red, yellow or plaid, you still a Nigger in Bush's AmeriKKKa.
holyshit man. i cant beleive people actually beleive/think what "09willom" said. w.t.f. dude thats bullshit, you probably beleive whatever your racist dad beats into you, you ignorant fuck. its fucks like you that kill, convict and discriminate against innocent people and start wars, your the inequal, your the lower form of human being.
OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE THE WORLD FOR WHAT IT IS. NOT EVERY AREA IS LIKE THE AREAS YOU ALL LIVE IN. we are not still facing oppression? WOW IT'S THROUGH THE PERSPECTIVES PEOPLE SEE THE WORLD THROUGH THAT DETERMINES THAT. LEARN TO RESPECT P.O.V'S, THATS WHAT BRINGS ABOUT CHANGE. NOT WHETHER OR NOT COMMON IS THE BEST HIP HOP ARTIST, but IF HIS MSG WAS "REAL" AND YOUR NOT IN HIS MIND ONLY HE COULD SAY IF HE TRUELY FELT WHAT HE WAS SAYING!
these pre-human beasts (niggers)are genetically predisposed to show signs of aggression and criminal behavior as their primal brains have not evolved like that of the white mans.They are about 30 million years behind us in evolution, and the media wants you to believe they are our equals.
God will kill you. He hates racists, look what happened to Hitler. And if you do your research the KKK was truly a bunch of fags (not that there's anything wrong with gays) and he smited them too. He destroyed the South cause they were using blacks as slaves. It only makes sense that you're next.

wtf, you people REAAAAAAALLY need to get your facts straight, dumb ignorant fucks, dare i say racists? Stop watching the shit you see on t.v. I co-sign & agree how annoying it is these fuckin rappers today make me wanna kill them too, their not hiphop, i dunno maybe media's to lazy to make drastic genre changing to fit these bullshit bubblegum rappers these days, but get it in your thick heads its NOT HIP HOP ! ...
HEY fellas dont let these guys get to you if you like common then you probably know what hes all about. Sooner or later these guys will learn that its ok to like all kinds of music and stop trying to impress other people by being all METAL and i hate rappers
Id rather be on welfare than have my name attached to this. I'd rather hear a camel fart echoing down my own wind pipe than hear this. You think life is about money, and thats why your woman cheats on you with broke people and let them drive your car.
At least better than those stupid pranksterrappers telling us how cool criminality is i'd rather have this than that.But we got some good for once and it already gets hyped , eventually annoy the crap outta us being too emotional and maybe start becoming racist because this song will get hyped-Man the world is soo stupid.
Alright, This song is great. I can see where hes comin from with all the gang violence and stuff goin on. Its been a while since I've listened to him but I think Im gonna start again.
You know what makes no sense about this and what you just said is that you navigated intentionally to a common video and posted a comment. When I don't like things I navigate away from them. I could understand if you never heard of him, but you wouldn't be able to comment on him so easily.
well i guess everyone can't rap about guns hoes and rims...you need to hip yourself to some real music son...but i can tell by your name you probably aren't interested in anything positive...there's so much real music out here that's 100x better than mainstream rap...Common is the real deal!!!
this from someone who likes LIL' SCRAPPY and THE SIMPSONS...what makes you qaulified to access what good music is...your 27 and you watch the simpsons...enough said!!!
To everyone who posts a racist comment here: I am positive you have no logical basis for your comments, you're just as good as those three idiots who tried to sue Sacha Cohen, and lost.
I Dony Even Know What This Is..Its Just shows some people dancing then some kind of rapper mumbling about something i couldent even understand..AND WHATS THIS GOT TO DO WITH HAVING A DREAM!
"pinten" you embarrass me, you embarrass yourself. you post a racist comment on a topic like this! I feel ashamed to be white when I hear ignorant people like you add towards racism. there are good and bad people in this world and they are of both colours
I went to see Commen and Ciara in concert, Then I went to this after party thing here in Denver where Commen was going to be. I met his dad and he's like 10 feet tall, well not literally but he's TALL! Anyhow, I thought Commen was kind of an ass, No real interest in his fans...left afterwards in a van full of sluts, But his dad was a real sweetie!
Okay you could say that to huge Common fan (me) but hey thats your opinon on him while I think that Common is the best thing that ever happened to hip-hop Peace, love and good life to you ShortyBabyGirl19
Dare2Dream it is amazing to step foot on the place where MLK stood in Washington, DC for me to be there for the first time was amazing. Also to see the exibit. "I Have A Dream" Diversity Much Love Respect
Nice. I'm sure MLK would love it. Thanks for keeping people talking about this issue in a positive way since it's a shame America still hasn't resolved yet. And thanks for making a white woman feel like she can still be part of the discussion.
Ya Common flows like any other great poet, must admit though, was dissapointed with the GAP commercials and all their sweat shop connections, but if you could pick a man to culturally connect with everyone like Dr. King did, it would have to be Common.
You people that say this is wack..you can't see this some real hiphop your watching..Not that ATL Rap bullshit.You know what my dream..you can listen to the radio and hear real hiphop song.
you people only see common on the commercial for gap?hes one of the only true hip hop artist left.he doesnt rap about killing,20 inch rims,or big booty hoes.he actually raps about things going on.look him up and listen before you judge
aaen1, I'm white but even I can see that black people are still oppressed. I live in between Flint and Detroit and these people get NO help. Drive through these neighborhoods and know the history of the past 25 years in government and realize WHY it looks like a F-'IN WAR ZONE.
End of the day mate, come where i live. Its completley different, everyone is given equal oppertunities wether ur black white brown woman or man, i think this record takes away the true meaning of Martin Luther Kings speech, back then, i cannot and will not dispute that they were opressed, and it was sickening. However, i do back up my earlier statement because its completley true through my perspective.
Thing is, from your point of view it's true. For others that don't have the privilege to live in your area and share your own experiences, it's not so true for them. Common's not trying to ruin a great man's speech, he's trying to inspire people to keep that dream alive and make it a reality.
If your calling me or him rascist, i think thats very childish, by saying that you are the one OPRESSING peoples opinions. Wake up and smell the coffee.
Good song, I just hope it doesn't get trashed for all the wrong reasons. I should get some good spins... wait sorry, no gangstas, pimps, playas, weight or hoes = no radio play.

"pinten" you embarrass me, you embarrass yourself. you post a racist comment on a topic like this! I feel ashamed to be white when I hear ignorant people like you add towards racism. there are good and bad people in this world and they are of both colours

great. I'm 50 and this is a great way to make Dr. King's speech relate to
an entire new generation. I will seek out the song.

I went to see Commen and Ciara in concert, Then I went to this after party thing here in Denver where Commen was going to be. I met his dad and he's like 10 feet tall, well not literally but he's TALL! Anyhow, I thought Commen was kind of an ass, No real interest in his fans...left afterwards in a van full of sluts, But his dad was a real sweetie!

Nice. I'm sure MLK would love it. Thanks for keeping people talking about this issue in a positive way since it's a shame America still hasn't resolved yet. And thanks for making a white woman feel like she can still be part of the discussion.

Ya Common flows like any other great poet, must admit though, was dissapointed with the GAP commercials and all their sweat shop connections, but if you could pick a man to culturally connect with everyone like Dr. King did, it would have to be Common.

aaen1, I'm white but even I can see that black people are still oppressed. I live in between Flint and Detroit and these people get NO help. Drive through these neighborhoods and know the history of the past 25 years in government and realize WHY it looks like a F-'IN WAR ZONE.

End of the day mate, come where i live. Its completley different, everyone is given equal oppertunities wether ur black white brown woman or man, i think this record takes away the true meaning of Martin Luther Kings speech, back then, i cannot and will not dispute that they were opressed, and it was sickening. However, i do back up my earlier statement because its completley true through my perspective.

"its completley true through my perspective."
Thing is, from your point of view it's true. For others that don't have the privilege to live in your area and share your own experiences, it's not so true for them. Common's not trying to ruin a great man's speech, he's trying to inspire people to keep that dream alive and make it a reality.

aaen,
If a tree falls in an empty forest,
Just because it cant be heard.
Doesn't mean it isn't happening.
People are oppressed all over the world, from bullying, to protitution, slavery, to Dictatorship.
I agree with these videos, and i find them inspirational. keep up the great work.
