Ghettoboombox51, I could not have said it better. my wife is white, and loves this song. Matter of fact, the only white person she likes is Eminem. The rest are black. And we are going on 20 yrs together.
I don't see the point in all the hate just because of skin colour the world needs different cultures no race is better but each has different qualities :) I do think this song sparks of arguments today but back then it stood for something and tbh its catchy :)
@TheGRATZIO that is one of the best comment I read, no race is more superior than the other, God made all colors, this song is about being proud of the skin color you have, it is beautiful, I'm black and very proud of it,
I AM BLACK AND I AM PROUD THEY SAY THE BLACKER THE BERRY THE SWEETER THE JUICE IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE BLACK FOLKS THERE WOULDN'T BE YOU ! WE ALL COME FROM THE BLACK MAN AND WOMAN BE PROUD AND SAY IT LOUD ! I AM BLACK AND I AM P R O U D !
@mystifying1 HEY NIGGER SLAVE GIVE ME YOUR MASTER TO SPEAK WITH HIM YOU STUPID MONKEY I WILL TELL YOUR MASTER TO SELL YOU TO ME IF YOU CONTINUE WITH THIS.
@CroatiaUberAlles I was actually, deciding to make a trip around the Mediterranean. My name is Dale. It would be difficult to sell me on that trip, if I could kick your ASS all the way back to Slovenia. You're a product of German slavery. No? Doesn't Angela Merkel tell your Prime minister the rules, Croat? You don't. Your master lives in Brussels.
To all the racisits tushs on this page you should know only a black people has this unique groove because it is in their DNA and you can't ever get there, deal with ie & take it from a white girl!
@littlejayz365 ; by virtue of the fact you are proud means that the people before you have achieved what they set out to do. To know the meaning of this song is to look back at history.
Message Speaks a Million words .. Appreciate yourself and everyone around you .. United minds can take over planets .. all we need is a little more love. More love and destroy the hate .. THANK You for all the Civil Leaders and human Beings who made a difference.. alot of us wouldn't be here if it weren't for them . THANK YOU
WOW !!!!! Its amazing how many racist and ignorant people are out there, Iam 33 and my mother and father are almost 70 i have a white father and a mex american mother from the south i am the youngest of four and my mother went to segregated schools and and was beaten for speaking spanish at scool and my dad was casted out by his family, So WHAT Im saying is that this song was grat for ALL races at the time
to the jerk uneducated racist...at the end of the day...we all will die and you only have a measured time on this earth so why spend it saying something that does not matter...to those of us who are of African decent...you can't get rid of us no way no how...there is no such thing as black power or white power again at the end of the day...its all an illusion you better enjoy this short life that you have...mark my words God has a way of humbling all of us eventually!
This song examplifies his greatness. He lost a lot of his "cross over audience" because of this song. He did it anyway. This is what separates good artists and great artists. Its not all about the benjamins. It's about being ahead of your time. He's still got us talking. And that's an important step.
LOL YOU NASTY ASS BLACK PEOPLE ARE GREASY AND OILY AND HAVE RETARDED ASS HAIR! LOL YOU SHOULD ALL BE HANGED AND BRUNT ON A BURNING CROSS LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I LIKE TURTLES LOL BYE
@srpeeps2099 Blah Blah Blah Blah, American Blacks are the Blessed Seed. Deal with it. And fool yourselves that all thieves wont Burn under the Sun, and prepare for Hell. What God has given none can Take aWAY, THEY ONLY DELUDE THEMSELVES. THAT IS WHY THEIR CHILDREN ARE NOW GETTING SKIN CANCER. AND IT WILL INCREASE, MORE AND MORE. LOOK ON GOOGLE MELANOMA EXECUTION.
@netxa Really? "Bitch". "Retarded Ass". "Ur genitals". Save that disgusting verbiage on a personal phone. And even then, watch your mouth. I'm from Philly. If you have a problem with my words, then I'll meet you. This is ALL about the music.
@A1D9H8D9 there is no such thing as white power..the black race came up with the term BLACK POWWER..and u crakers stole the word and put white in front of black..BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT THE WORD AND ITS MEANING BELONG TO THE BLACK RACE..SO WHITE BOY INSTEAD OF SAYING WHITE POWER..JUST SAY WHITE WEAKNESS....
Actually, the song was written as the civil rights movement was in the decline, and the birth of the Black Power period was being born. Let us not forget, when King was shot, members of SNCC were leaving that organization to begin new organizations and a new period in Black History in America--- The Black Power Period...
James Brown career took a nose dive after this song. Whites used to love JB but when he made this powerful song whites said this nigger is Black. We Blacks already knew it. James Brown for all who listen to him know this man gave everything he could to help the Black race be proud and respectful to each other but somehow the message is lost in today Black world.
@oOOpIIIqOOo Put yourself back in the late 1800's thru middle 1900's of US society. The crack of the bullwhip and the boot of Jim Crow. That was our message to us to get out of the bowls of AmeriKKKa. Now as you see in today's news.. The Egyptian people are fighting for their civil rights in 2011. Say it loud when you really have to fight for a REAL CAUSE! Continue to be white ass fcuk and be proud of your jaded ass history!!
@GhettoBoomBox51 You just lost your license to be black. This song isn't about hating white people. It is about being proud of your culture, this song was written during a time people were fighting for their civil rights. And being black was considered a bad thing. He is saying be proud of your skin color don't hate it. You sir aren't any better than white supremacist. P.S I am black.
@kmashers That's right! The song is just about being proud about who you are whatever color you are. When James Brown did this song, he did a casting call for the voices in the background for a variety of teenagers. And most of the kids in the background you hear are asian
@McCray2338 Frankly and with no disrespect, we already share most of what we have with the brown brother (i.e. political and economic resources, media projects, music, men and women, community, etc). Frankly, I would like to see the brown man reciprocate more and show a bit more deference to those of African American heritage. This seems like a one-sided relationship to me. Wake Up! Peace.
everyone should see this one this for the dr. kingl. my wonderful person james brown this was made for this day. thank you brother james brown( my best dancer)that foot work.l.o.l
shit im an old school cholo with black blood running thru these mexican vains , guess that makes me a BLACKEXICAN " say it loud IM BLACK AND BROWN "!!!
Black Power is the 76 trillion miles of this universe and all that it contains white power is a grafted people whose genetic beginning is from black people..they are apart of us minus melanin ....our white people ....that's right .....our whte people...they came from us and are apart of us and can not escape their being made by us white power exist because Black power exist
motherfucking niggers get jobs and quit bringing down the white man. the white man is a proud people just ask our leader aliston sharpton. p.s. the white man is better at rapping. bitchin'
you know everytime i listen to his music i makes me cry its a shame how tomi raye could not come here and help his family with the turkey giveaway and instead shes in las vegas she should rot R.I.P James Brown
This is the United State's incarceration rates by race. Let me first start by saying these statistics are based per 100,000 population as of 2004. Whites: 393 Latino: 957 Blacks: 2,531. The national incarceration demographic says it all. Blacks are a threat to civilization. If you disagree think about this: What are jails and prisons for? Answer: To incarcerate those who are problematic, a nuisance and a threat to society. Statistics do say Blacks are more of a problem then whites. BY FAR!!!!
@mcnalga do you know the history behind this song? watch?v=KBurJmqZBTE
they wouldn't play it in the US so Wolfman Jack went down to Mexico and broadcasted it back into the US. It is an anthem for black americans when we were fighting to get civil rights.
@ddsharper yeah i heard about that being broadcasted back to the US, but i love this song because it sends such a powerful message no matter what race you are
@ddsharper it all depends on how someone who isn't black takes the message, i'm mexican but i can relate to this song because being a fellow minority you can feel an instant inspiration from this song to be proud of your race and culture and not be ashamed of it.
whats funny about this song is the kids in the back ground were NOT BLACK lol they were white and asian kids from a school ( they were cheap lol) Most important color is GREEN
@kcallicoat I see most of the readers on this post don't know about Jim Crow and why James was singing to a predominantly 99% white or as you say green audience. Can you believe that in this land of milk and honey (AmeriKKKa) there was a white and black section! Say it loud and continue to STAY PROUD, but understand fully why he was singing this song to his peeps.
get back to your roots people! now is the time! we can't afford to wait! We got a brand new president! And now that he is elected, we have left him to the wolves!! A nd they are biting! If you sit around and you don't try, you will let life pass you by! BELIVE THAT!

What the fuck does the african americans have to be proud of? They just rob people and rape people, and they also abandon their children, how could you be proud of that? Shame on you. james brown beat his wife and was a pervert, and yet the african americans idolize him? Say it loud i'm black and i'm ignorant.
@TheWhiteKingOfGod What do you PInk Caucus piece of shit have to be proud of? Raping children, creating child pornography, raping donkeys, smoking meth, molesting you're dogs, Bringing Drugs and Guns to America, Stealing every bodies culture and style, I think you serial killers, Jefrey Dahmer , green river killer, mother fucking freaks definitely have nothing to be proud of, (fucking jealous freak) you're just mad because black people are genius and have great music thats why you listen to it!
@KillaCali95 You are an illiterate fool that can't even speak properly, you have nothing to be proud of, the black race is a sack of shit that just rape and rob people, just look at america,africa,haiti, the list goes onn and onn, and you seem to be very proud of that. black people are not great musicians, the best musicians are White people, it's a documented fact. Now get back to your black panther racist bunch of fags.
@TheWhiteKingOfGod It's a proven fact that blacks are the best musicians, were the best singer's, dancers, and performers, we invented Jazz, Rock n Roll, Hip Hop, Reggae, and more!!! How in the hell are you going to call me illiterate do you even know the definition of illiterate retard hahaha typical caucus stereotypes, if I was so illiterate i wouldn't have spelled all my word's correctly nor would I have properly punctuated my sentences hahahaha what an autistic fag you are!!!!
@TheWhiteKingOfGod And you're skin is the color of bird shit, hahaha before you go around calling anyone "illiterate" learn how to spell "color" incompetent dumb ass!!!
@KillaCali95 not that I agree AT ALL with the racist moron whom you are rightfully insulting, but (s)he did spell colour correctly if he is located in basically any English speaking nation other then the U.S.A . I live in Canada and come from a British family, this is how we spell colour.
@SyriusFerreal Alright that's fine I'm American so yeah i kinda knew that, i just needed something good to say to that bitch, and obviously he really is stupid for not even correcting me!!!!
@JamesSayne y would u say sumthin so stupid look above u theyre 2white ppl 1 sayin theyre white but black n proud d other sayin theyre white but if they were black they would b proud. james brown made that song when blacks were mistreated like they were second class citizens couldnt vote got betaened hoses were sprayed on them whites even spit on them james wanted us2hold or head up n b proud the afro n platform shoes was4us 2stand tall n stand proud im blk n proud n beautiful
Indisputably the best song James Brown ever created, produced and sang. Even today some people are ashamed to say it! I'll say it! His hair was like wool. His skin was bronze, say It loud, " I'm Black and I'm Proud!"
Say it loud!!!!!!!!!!! Black is beautiful we are different colors light skin, high yellow, caramel ,smoth chocolate, dark chocolate Black is beautiful baby!!!!!
I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD!!!!

This is the United State's incarceration rates by race. Let me first start by saying these statistics are based per 100,000 population as of 2004. Whites: 393 Latino: 957 Blacks: 2,531. The national incarceration demographic says it all. Blacks are a threat to civilization. If you disagree think about this: What are jails and prisons for? Answer: To incarcerate those who are problematic, a nuisance and a threat to society. Statistics do say Blacks are more of a problem then whites. BY FAR!!!!

@mcnalga do you know the history behind this song? watch?v=KBurJmqZBTE
they wouldn't play it in the US so Wolfman Jack went down to Mexico and broadcasted it back into the US. It is an anthem for black americans when we were fighting to get civil rights.
ddsharper 1 year ago
@ddsharper yeah i heard about that being broadcasted back to the US, but i love this song because it sends such a powerful message no matter what race you are
mcnalga 1 year ago
@mcnalga - what message does it send to those that aren't black? Just curious as to what you are thinking and saying in that sentiment.
ddsharper 1 year ago
@ddsharper it all depends on how someone who isn't black takes the message, i'm mexican but i can relate to this song because being a fellow minority you can feel an instant inspiration from this song to be proud of your race and culture and not be ashamed of it.

@kcallicoat I see most of the readers on this post don't know about Jim Crow and why James was singing to a predominantly 99% white or as you say green audience. Can you believe that in this land of milk and honey (AmeriKKKa) there was a white and black section! Say it loud and continue to STAY PROUD, but understand fully why he was singing this song to his peeps.

Shame on you. james brown beat his wife and was a pervert, and yet the african americans idolize him? Say it loud i'm black and i'm ignorant.

@TheWhiteKingOfGod What do you PInk Caucus piece of shit have to be proud of? Raping children, creating child pornography, raping donkeys, smoking meth, molesting you're dogs, Bringing Drugs and Guns to America, Stealing every bodies culture and style, I think you serial killers, Jefrey Dahmer , green river killer, mother fucking freaks definitely have nothing to be proud of, (fucking jealous freak) you're just mad because black people are genius and have great music thats why you listen to it!
KillaCali95 1 year ago
@KillaCali95 You are an illiterate fool that can't even speak properly, you have nothing to be proud of, the black race is a sack of shit that just rape and rob people, just look at america,africa,haiti, the list goes onn and onn, and you seem to be very proud of that. black people are not great musicians, the best musicians are White people, it's a documented fact. Now get back to your black panther racist bunch of fags.
TheWhiteKingOfGod 1 year ago
@TheWhiteKingOfGod It's a proven fact that blacks are the best musicians, were the best singer's, dancers, and performers, we invented Jazz, Rock n Roll, Hip Hop, Reggae, and more!!! How in the hell are you going to call me illiterate do you even know the definition of illiterate retard hahaha typical caucus stereotypes, if I was so illiterate i wouldn't have spelled all my word's correctly nor would I have properly punctuated my sentences hahahaha what an autistic fag you are!!!!

@KillaCali95 not that I agree AT ALL with the racist moron whom you are rightfully insulting, but (s)he did spell colour correctly if he is located in basically any English speaking nation other then the U.S.A . I live in Canada and come from a British family, this is how we spell colour.
Otherwise, give tat asshole hell!
