mutabaruka- it no good(to stay in a white man country too long)

[horusasar]

SO TRUE

[Ancupola]

I love this video! I am Chinese, the industrialized world is becoming too stressful and people are just numbers. So, it is not just 'the whiteman country' but also Asian countries where people are not valued. I love this song!

[SteveSteppa]

This is the song of the week, livicated to the U.K !!!

[missysummertime]

Love Mutabaruka!

It's no good to stay in the whiteman/woman country too long

[MrNanabrobbey]

John the baptist spoke about Herod wrong doing and they cut of his head but today we this generation love the work that John did and praise him so why can,t him talk about what he knows is not good?

[MrNanabrobbey]

What makes him bad tell us it was not bad when the white man slave the Africans.

[tarbethia]

I LIKE WHITEMANZ B TOUCHING DA MUTHAFUCKERZ

[p6licenthiev9s]

This song is not racist. A lot of Muta's music is from experience and talking to & about someone who has tried to move from their country to colonial mother countries only to experience physical, mental, emotional brutality. He's talking about how some folks begin doing things one normally wouldn't /couldn't do. He is saying that for all the problems that your home country my have, many times life is more simple and the lifestyle not as corrosive to a black persons sense of self.

One Love.

"cuppa tea please"

[lulatil06]

That man is a good artist he sings good .

But his words, this is not music, art spirit. He's a racist. A bad man.

The first Right of all religion doesn't say that we have to respect every one?

There's loads of bad whiteman, but there is also many bad blackman who are racist!

[ringleada1237]

@lulatil06 Indeed.

[JamaquinaCubana]

@lulatil06 When the 'defective' wants to pass any and all types of prejudice, stereotype, bias & yes, rascist remarks, ideologies, comments it's OK but if ANY-ONE else does it, it's rascism! Rascism began with the caucasoid race...not knowing what their purpose was on the earth they scorned each other by creating caste systems amongst themselves then robbed from the earth and put values on their spoils while the other races were simply living and living harmoniously at that!

[shzzmack]

@JamaquinaCubana That statement in itself is biased. First of all, there is no such thing as "Caucasoid race", there is only the Human race. We are all related, that's a fact. There have been albinos in Africa for thousands of years and many of them have experience the humiliation of discrimination. Prejudice exists in all ethnic groups. Demonizing one particular group can only make a weak hearted person feel superior.

[dude75able]

@shzzmack Show me someting good from whiteman culture.

Only greed, stealing resources, keeping the masses opiated!

[PeaceAndJustice357]

@dude75able damn couldn't of said it any better myself

[dude75able]

@PeaceAndJustice357 Jah know

[ruckus37]

[pakidonpedigree]

[janaries1]

the enemy has to make up so many different method to kill and control the black man from physical salvery, mind slavery and disease that they make. yet still the black man is still around the black man can never die we are the original. wake up my people and live.

Wonder what Muta thinks about Obama circa 2010 ??? The bass line on this song kicks ass.

[GringoDJ2010]

say a white man made a song saying this about a black mans country still good?

[citizenmax]

@GringoDJ2010

you don't get it, and never will!

stick to your angry white/blight noise and mosey along gringo!

[GringoDJ2010]

@citizenmax care to explain then? set me straight? the worlds changed man, its about time people changed with it! you could point out a million things wrong with the as you put it " white mans culture" and i could point out a million things wrong with the "black mans culture" but at the end of the day were all equal every culture race creed as good and bad people !

[Bahiyya23]

@GringoDJ2010 The poem isn't about making any one culture superior to another, it's about a people whose history has been erased crippling the problem by living in a society in which the immigrant's past is not as valued. You tend to lose yourself (I speak from experience). & it's not right, no matter how many multiculturalists wish it so, to expect (for eg) England to highlight Jamaica's history over its own. It is important to keep a strong bond with one's roots & this means going home.

[mandamandalove998]

ahahahahahaa

[OahuJenn]

Truth! Serious word sound from Braddah Mutabaruka right deh!!

[BROWNEYEGURL9]

eye have always luv'd Mutabaruka...heah me'now!!!!

[psyimology]

Oh, no. This Catholic liar had turned up again singing more misguided songs. Mutabaruka (Allan Hope) your as fake as your conversion from Rasta thought to the Catholic religion... You contradict yourself many times over. Your songs are just filling your pockets with 'gold' from exploiting black brothers like you charge others with. Your history is also flawed Muta - go home to Jamaca, read all history, stop smoking drugs and telling lies in your songs. Yes this is really him folks! A hypocrit

[screwface1011]

Big up dem and JAH bless.

[contort69]

Its good to stay in a white man country and make it a brown country. hell yeah

[crazymandan59]

Evil has nothing to do with skin color. Ask the Tutsi, or South Africans who suffer under the worst crime rates in the world, or even people in American cities who dodge the bullets of Bloods and Crips every day..

If you're black, ask your ancestors huddling in the African dungeons of the black Songhai, Ashanti, Yoruba, Imbangala, or Nyamwezi people who got rich trading their own kind to the Arabs/Europeans for money, guns, alcohol, etc. Are good and evil as black and white as you think?

[2010youngboo4]

@crazymandan59 ,please dont say stupid shit, we all know that evil has nothing to do with skin color, cos black kills black, white kills white but for you to say they shd pass the buck on their former african kings, l surmize you must going crazy.On the face of it you people(white) tricked our people( africans) into slavery, one question,if white people had not been in AFRICA there would not have been a slavery, so fuck off with ya crap comment.

[crazymandan59]

@2010youngboo4 Don't be a fool, you need some school; put down dat ganj, learn bout dem Zanj. 600 year, before Columbus get here, before the white mon set sail, dem Zanj was in gaol; before dem white mon bring chain, Zanj slavery was plain. Arabs made dem slaves, before the white mon sailed waves; so here take a look, since you can't read no book. Don't act like a hoogle, just use Google

Cause from days of old, Africans were sold, by Africans to anyone with gold.

So fuck yaself, I and I.

[blackcranberrycrush]

Jah!!!!!!!!!!!

[WymeWruscel]

[ispeeklife]

Thank you for that statement sweet heart, i am a jamaican lived many years in the UK and i agree with you whole heatedly, "it no good fi stay inna white man country too long"!!!!

But i would say allow all there freedom of opinion it's only fair you have a right to yours also. Bless you.

[Biafrans7]

@agricola, If reparations would be paid for 400 years of free slave, skilled and intellectual labor and wealth which built the West. Calculate. The West owes incalculably.

[wwwmobilstarde]

muta talks or sings everytime the truthg !

jahhhhhhhhhhh bless him and allah give him the light !

[bert666666]

Come on, Iraq is a US stuff. You broke it, you fix it.

He is not a US singer.

[jamesnjamie1]

go to iraq then. it no good

[TrueRebelRas]

It No Good fi stay in a whiteman country too long, being where you come from is promoting your culture and when the globe becomes a big village you will be proud to show your natural culture and when you go to whiteman country you can celebrate whiteman culture like halloween and christmass and they can come see Our Black Rain and Harvest Festivals. it good to stay in a whiteman country to know your ppl of the world but not stay there too long. They also have few resources ya know.

[TrueRebelRas]

MUU-Tahhbaruka

[greenthumbh]

one love..

[1DAWWWG]

respect

[jhendrix7911]

this song may be racially motivated, but none the less true, yes? yes, mon i believe so.... But you also right in sayin no matter the skin color we are all from the same place. But listen when i tell you this, the black skin has been hated for a many century now, do ya tink dat a man can let go of what has been done to generations of his family so easily? To a man him family is most important, so the white man has enslaved and beaten and rape what is nearest to I heart.

[DjKelavey]

Im talkin to de white smelly dog rass below, him lick a pure shot!

[soyabean4]

nobody asked you to stay at all,unfortunetly their countries are safer than ours,whether your white or black,

[HOUSEISHOUSE09]

CUTTING EDGE!!!!!

[babylonisfallingdown]

the white men got so much fear for the black men

[nuneswhite]

Blacks were in Jamaica long before slavery. The Tainos in Jamaica were black ppl. As far as this video, living in places where the eurpoean ways of living are the dominant culture have crippled our relationships with family and spouses because we practice ways of living that are not natural to us. I'm seeing 3rd gneration children who don't eat "spicy" foods, are rude to their parents and have no cooking skils and are nasty. It nuh good, fi stay inna whiteman country too long!!

[nolifemerc]

lol ur funny cause ou just tell same of the truth, liar slaveman

[fuckyoufucktubesac]

Great point! Many shall be called but only few shall be chosen...

[GringoDJ2010]

@nuneswhite wont that partly be the fault of the generations before not teaching the future generations how to act cook and behave and most of all respect !

[nuneswhite]

@GringoDJ2010 whn ppl left the caribbean to go abroad, it was with the expectation to assimilate. With assimilation comes the loss of your own culture but they didn't understand the dangers of assimilation. The blame wouldn't really go to the elders because they had good intentions. The problem is when your root is replanted in another country then time takes it's toll.

[saxonfield]

@nuneswhite mutabaruka has put some very constructive lyrics. You are right. Now the 3rd and 4th generation are saying for 'A cup of tea please.'

[lmvalle]

@nuneswhite

Tainos are not black, they are Amerindian.

[KillTheConqueror]

@nuneswhite I'm a white european and respect your opinion very much. On of the few things I hate is the kinda lifestyle we all are given here. I hate how people are just exploiting other people and calling it freedom. I totally feel you, but I have to say, it's not good to life in a whiteman country for anyone in our world.

Peace!

[nuneswhite]

@KillTheConqueror I am black so i speak for black ppl but i do agree; anyone not living within the confines of white supremacy is a good thing.

[nuneswhite]

@Phobias777 Don't try to use my statement to exalt yourself. Most black Dominicans don't even consider themselves black so i wouldn't depend on you as asource for a definition.

[Phobias777]

@nuneswhite its not a racial thing its more political. its just has different meaning.

[innosensi]

it no good fi listen foolnish too long

[flowersofathena]

Live long true reggae...I am thirty-two, I have listened since twelve...so many words...

[peezhead]

When u think about Jamaica is not even the black man's country it really belongs to the indigenous people (Arawaks). My parents are from JA and this is one of the reasons why they don't have national pride.

[kwacou]

That's nonsense.

[1selfmademan]

Since we got a black president, is it good for white folks to stay in a "black man country too long" too?.. lol.

[nolifemerc]

hahhaha black man country ahhhahahahaha ye susa belongs to the arrawacks who lived there before the asians came some 5000 years ago from the malyasia fllipins and singapore.....black man country yes ahahhahahahahha moron

[1selfmademan]

What country do you think Iam talking about? You from Mali? Go find some food to feed your village.. lmao

[ktc311]

[Mannanann]

Ain't no good, to stay in any country to long...

We're all united under the heavens

Great track

[BadPsyTron]

[1jaq]

Have been looking for this for a long long time!! I remember reciting this to my mum and dad when I was a kid, they never said anything disrepectful, but give thanks they have retired home now. Maybe it had an impact!! lol
