Great song, check out Chuck Ds song Make It Funky.

[AnneliesSN37]

I agree, racism is not the option and sweeping the immigrants away from the United States is not the right path for a future success, without the Hispanic and others around the world that came here, illegally or not, there will be a huge problematic situation around the world, not just the world, including God's willing and human rights and civil liberties to individuals.

And remember, everyone's equal, no human being is illegal.

[unlimitedvenom]

Nice work again Chuck D! Much respect from a third generation American citizen who would probably be pulled over and harrassed in AZ

[thepathofice]

Chuck D is actually working for the elimination of Black in the Southwest and their further marginalization in American life by championing the illegal invaders who hate Blacks just as much as the 'white devils'. He has no interest in helping to normalize America and correct the injustices of the past - he simply is programmed to 'react' by his masters like a machine to keep the game going - and his own people lose that game too - just like everyone else.

[jacksonwonderful]

@thepathofice Immigration rights = the destruction of black people. Good analysis. I'll be seeing Chuck later today. I'll make sure to observe which machine is keeping him going. Leftists hip-hop artists like him have always been part of mainstream America's hegemonic master machine. And white republican reactionaries like you have always had black people's best interests in mind.

Hey, if you don't like blacks and latinos, just say it. But don't be a coward and make up BS about Chuck D.

[thepathofice]

@jacksonwonderful So long as immigration is framed in racial terms with a racial agenda - which is what most immigration/'minority' rights activists (LA RAZA, for example) are all about,America will never grow into a nation. It will break up catastrophically. Ironically, the same colonialist forces that Chuck and others call out are the same one's still encouraging it through race-based 'minority' activism. White reactionaries are under their control too. Stop playing the game

[jacksonwonderful]

@thepathofice You're crazier than I thought. I was going to address your point on framing and that it's clear that the framing is being done by those who have interests in race/class exploitation and the prison industry (specifically as it relates to Mexican immigrants)... but your notion that imperialist powers are supporting anti-imperialist grass roots organizations is as ridiculous as the underground lizard people illuminati conspiracy theories I've heard people rant about on youtube.

[number098]

@thepathofice "Chuck D is actually working for the elimination of Black in the Southwest and their further marginalization"

Chuck D is championing human and civil rights for minorities. What he's doing also in the process is what the Reverend Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Desmond Tutu, the NAACP and other human and civil rights advocates are doing in the process -- advocating unity among minorities. What racist whites fear more than black people is the unity of black and brown people.

[thepathofice]

@number098 First of all, such a unity has only one purpose - to take power from the Whites who are perceived to be the reason for the 'minorities' ills. This is a flawed agenda because it not only perpetuates racism, but it also further destroys the 'minorities', themselves, in the process. Look at South Africa - where Whites actually voted to end apartheid. And how have the Blacks repaid them? By killing them, killing themselves, and destroying the nation entirely. A new way is needed...

[number098]

@thepathofice You're wrong. Advocating for human rights and civil liberties and in doing so, promoting solidarity, is not racist or promoting racism. Not all white people support SB 1070 and the systematic racism that built up to it. In my statement that you're taking objection to, I wrote that white RACISTS fear the union of black and brown people because the truth is they'd rather divide and conquer than to take on a bigger challenge of people in unity. What's flawed here is your rationale.

[thepathofice]

@number098 As a matter of fact, white racists are encouraged and find their own validation when other groups are formed around a version of racial ideology that appears to oppose them. All groups who base their identity on 'race' are encouraged by emotional reactions to 'the other' and are maintained in opposition for the sole purpose of denying human rights and civil liberties. I'm all for solidarity - of individuals - who advocate for the non-group based application of rights and liberties.

[number098]

@thepathofice White supremacists are motivated by and preoccupied with European ethnocentrism, by racism -- and by illogical fear and hatred as well. I suggest you go take your admonishment against racial ideology to the white supremacists who make it the foundation of their groups. I suspect you won't though, because based on your other posts, I suspect a snake in the grass among us. cont. ...

[jacksonwonderful]

@thepathofice Are you...by chance... a white male?

Nobody, not chuck, not the black panthers (old or new), not La Raza (which you probably misunderstand to mean literally 'the race') not the native american rights movement-- NOBODY-- has advocated for the killing of whites. But I guess you figure that the killings in African must equal chuck d... I mean, blacks are all the same, right?

[thepathofice]

@jacksonwonderful Of course noone advocates the killing or oppressing of anyone. But, that's the result no matter what power-seeking group we're talking about. Chuck's ideology plays a role, yes. Why? Because he thinks he's some kind of 'black man', whatever that is. All so-called races are the product of someone's social engineering theories. Fact is, no such delineation of 'races' exists. In the human realm, nature knows no color line. The only line is individual spiritual character/essence.

[jacksonwonderful]

@thepathofice Oh get over it. You're not some zen colorblind advocate of equality. Just be honest. Do you post equally ridiculous comments on white supremacy videos (which are not the same as a song against a piece of legislation)? If you're a crusader for equality, you're a bit confused, but my guess is you're full of it and don't want to come right out and say that you don't like chuck d, undocumented immigrants or a number of civil rights groups.

[thepathofice]

@jacksonwonderful What's so ridiculous about the posts? You're quick to try to label me and don't address the issues raised. Equality doesn't mean color-blindness as if the spectrum of individual diversity of lineage doesn't exist. It means something else entirely - something you are obviously not understanding. I happen to like Chuck D and his projects because they raise issues that need discussing so we can come to a higher understanding. I support individual rights and not group-based rights.

[jacksonwonderful]

@thepathofice What's ridiculous about you suggesting that colonial interests are somehow in control of left-leaning organizations? Quite a bit.

[thepathofice]

@jacksonwonderful The entire 'left-right' dichotomy is part of a singular system that hasn't changed at all. The only difference between the 'left' and the 'right' is in means to achieve the same end - imperialism, power, and continued colonialism. Just because the hats change doesn't mean it's not the same 'thing' wearing the hat. I really hope you're not going to argue that the 'left' has actually helped the people it claims to stand for?!

[jacksonwonderful]

@thepathofice ... are you telling a joke?

[thepathofice]

@jacksonwonderful Immigrants should be documented - so I support applying for citizenship just like you apply for a job or apartment. I support civil rights for the individual and the equal application of the law to individuals - which means ALL group-based rights and special priviledges need to be addressed. ALL. Whether it's 'white' priviledge that is or isn't written - 'black' priviledge that is or isn't written - or any other group. This perpetuates oppression, hatred, and division.

@adelelles Google search: eat a dick.

[RyanfromtheShire]

"..new dust bowl poet..."

Look up Woody Guthrie. White folk musician who wrote "This land is your land". The "dust bowl poet". Wrote songs about workers and immigration from the 30's to the early 60's.

A timeless, universal message.

[antsorter]

chuck d's still fuckin' got it

i live in arizona and i saw some "immigrants" getting pulled over and arrested just as i was driving down the highway the other day. honestly it was harrowing to have that scenario right in front of my eyes. im totally up for dumping the immigration law.

[Perrickan]

...and with one swipe Chuck D reminds us all what hip hop should be about.

[eddieakapapi]

@CivilizedJerk look here you piece of shit, just because your too lazy to go look for a job, dont be blaming other people. im not racist but an "Illegal" is picking roses, fruit, vegetables.ECT. under extreme heat, would you take that job? and i dont want to hear "if thats the only thing i can find" they take jobs which majority of the americans wont take...including yourself.

[thepathofice]

@eddieakapapi Spoken like a true slave who loves his master. This is what the slave owners educated their slaves with as to why they were needed to pick the cotton and were 'essential workers'. Cheap labor who will work for next to nothing. Willing serfs to be 'protected'. And here it is again - the 'hard working illegals' will pick the lettuce those lazy Americans wont. Slavery still exists - and here is an advocate for it on full display.

[betito4887]

@eddieakapapi couldn't have said it better myslef

[hjamie1]

The day the people look to criminals and drug addicts for political advice...we are all in trouble. 

[jacksonwonderful]

@hjamie1 meaning what exactly?

[icecubefosho]

@hjamie1 The day we look to people with community college certifications to run states is when we're all in trouble... Oh wait, Jan Brewer is running a state...

[CivilizedJerk]

Lots of black people are for SB 1070. Illegal Immigration takes away jobs on the lower end of the pay scale. Jobs that many African Americans would take. Go Fuck yourself Chuck D. BTW your song sucks and it's unintelligible.

[jacksonwonderful]

@CivilizedJerk <--- not a hip-hop fan, mostly likely a white male, most likely not outraged by NAFTA, happy to play divide and conquer by bringing up the obvious point that there is some black support for SB 1070 but in doing so supports the notion that blacks should remain at the "lower end of the pay scale." Overall, not worth arguing with, just another hater on youtube. Thanks for watching!

[Eyetileye]

We Cannot say FUCK ARIZONA!

WE CAN SAY FUCK THE ARIZONA GOVERNMENT & CORPORATIONS! OVER 1/4TH IS NATIVE LAND AND PLENTY OF PEOPLE OF COLOR FIGHTING AGAINST SB1070, JOE ARPIO, BREWER AND ALL THE OTHER RACIST BASTARDS THERE... WE WILL OVER COME AND SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM!

WE ARE ALL FOLLOWING THE MONEY...THOSE REPUBLICANS AND OTHER SNAKES WILL FALL AND FALL HARD WITH THE WALL!!!

'ALL OPPRESSED PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT FOR REVOLUTION" -RCG

[Mastr1ani]

Only the MO-rons who haven't read the statute make a "call to action" about absolutely nothing.

Not surprising, you obviously are too uneducated/illiterate to realise what the Constitution says about the matter. Arizona has it right, it's a matter of law.

"Illegal" isn't a race. Literacy isn't a crime.

[jacksonwonderful]

@Mastr1ani This song says nothing about constitutional matters. In application, the law has always targeted mexicans and chicanos. If the vague nature of the statute and its application are not problematic to you, you cannot and will not attempt to relate to being a target based on your ethic background and I'm done talking. To a MO-ron. Whatever the hell the hyphen is for.

[onefreakedoutcat]

@jacksonwonderful

Mastr1ani raises a valid point. Every time the word "illegal" is uttered the Latino community thinks it is a campaign against their race/culture/ethnicity. IT IS NOT. There are illegals of every race/culture/ethnicity, esp. in LA where I live. However, AZ, CA, NM, TX happen to be in a part of the world where the majority of people are of Latin decent. Illegal immigration is costing this nation a vast amount of money per year. It is out of control.

[allinonethegreat]

Damn Pain you really came off on this one. You showed your east coast versatility side. The song was dope working with a legend Chuck D and the scratching was off the chain. Keep building that resume of artist.
