[SanDelly]

[Clearteeth101]

Thumbs up if you're picturing Homer walking out to fight Dredrick tatum.

[tomlawrie1989]

The black guy high fiving the Klansman was a bit much.

[SifterOfwheat]

@tomlawrie1989 LoL @ Klansman^5. Now you made me go looking for that clip. Still can't find it.

[degilbert1]

Excelent music, I listening the music!!

[warrenkeith360]

well there are many reasons we cant be friends:

race

religion

morals

society

etc... :(

[SifterOfwheat]

@warrenkeith360 Diversity is the source of strength and progress in almost everything, from art to music to the world of nature. Why can't it be so in Human affairs?

"This is a new cycle of human power. All the horizons of the world are luminous, and the world will become indeed as a garden and a paradise … The gift of God to this enlightened age is the knowledge of the oneness of mankind and of the fundamental oneness of religion." ~ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

[warrenkeith360]

@SifterOfwheat While I agree with you and disagree with you...I will defend to the death what you are saying. :)

But aside yes I see what you mean.

[SifterOfwheat]

@warrenkeith360 Good. Cause If everyone agreed 100% about EVERYTHING then we'd stagnate and never make any progress. There's always something worth considering in someone else's opinion, or if not the opinion itself, then the perspective from which it's expressed. Thanks for respecting my opinion as I would yours. I just hope it wont come to defending it to the death! Cause that would kinda suck! :-0

[DuckmanProductions1]

Whenever i see a fight on facebook, i link this video in the comments....probabaly responcable for a good thousand of the listens :P lol

[Mzmario64]

by that "let's all be people" you know i mean friend cuz that what people are

[Mzmario64]

let all be friend: all the black hater love the black people all the white hater love the white people let's all the people :)

[Aliendear]

"i see you workin for the mafia, they wouldn't have you in the C.I.A.!"

[lowkeeee777]

good job finiding the original...that was a real treat. thx

[darrickg1]

why cant we be friends really tho put down the guns..

[kja427]

One of the reasons that WAR was one of the funnest bands in The 70's. Just listen.

[wthugw]

this world is perfect , human"s fuckt it up with cars and shit , this world is close to a end . humans are like a virus they multyply till they consume evry thing , if humans didnt excist earth would be a better place . sory for bad english

[TheWanderingCactus]

@wthugw XP kinda true but not really. the world isn't that simple. Of all the ways we destroy the world, cars are only a small part of the problem. Moreover, the rate of human population growth in developed countries is decreasing. Plus if we didn't have humans, we wouldn't have songs like this ^_^

Incidentally, your english is just fine (swearwords and all.)

[MoneyMustGo]

They don't make them like this anymore

[WEEDITA]

Way back , when I first heard this song as a teenager in (war ridden Central America.). I felt in love with it. The Dream remains thru time ( Why can't we be friends?) One Universal Society. No Matter What. We Are Brothers and Sisters.

"Wise Up" Para todos.

[shanehenning26]

great song

[vidgamerdave77]

8 can't be friends :(

[tommieparch]

this is one of the best videos ive ever seen, because it goes so well with the song & the message of the song is still as strong as ever!.. i was a teenager in the 70s & our group was very mixed race, doin all things together.. but a jew & arab playin chess, & the black & kkk 2gether... man, funny shit! best is the cop pickin up a welfare check!.. the reality is the 70s disco era is the closest were ever be to all gettin along... hate has come back more than anytime since the mid 60s....tommy

[Grimnance]

[jrbexar]

Great song wish I had the answer!

[sweetnpeachy1]

Great editing for a fine song, a classic!

[piperlovegood]

I was born and raised in the south as were my parents and their parents. But I am so thankful that I grew up in a town that had just about every race and religion in a neighborhood where white was the minority. I didn't realize until I was older at 9/11 just how rasist people can be in todays world. It makes me sad.

[ShadowCompany9]

Why can't we all be friends? I ask that from the world

[TehSecretAgent]

We can be better, one person at a time. Everyone do your part! Do something nice for someone you don't even know tomorrow! Maybe they aren't really so bad of a person :)

[nickjjack10]

hmmm a black guy and a KKK member if they can be friends anyone can

[DoloresKostic]

People are affraid from anything different from what they got used to and what they know.Who cares what color of your skin is,or what do you do in bed,or what religion you practice...all that matters is a person himself and how he gets around the world.Nobody should be discriminated by either of these factors,cause basicaly we are all just humans-humans who deserve freedom! Why can't we all just be friends? :)

[Lancer265]

@DoloresKostic Damn you are so right =D,these days people discriminate only because of the factors you mentioned and that really sucks,at the end of the day we all are humans and we travel in the same ship,best wishes from mexico :D

[slvw313]

help your fellow person out no matter what race, religion, political, anything that makes us diffrent from eachother treat one and another equally to the best of your ability

[WhiteCookieStudios]

[arturohernandez20]

3:00

Benny Hill Tribute?

[sevenpointking]

8 people can't be friends with anybody. A hate filled existence is such a sad existence.

[SonofGospa]

@Rob ToddyTV: You are very perceptive young sir. The world is full of adulterers, pedophiles, thieves, gluttons, murderers, bullies, scoundrels and covetous morons. Yet, there IS a way to change that; One person at a time simply by asking: "Why can't WE be friends?" Then BEING the kind of friend you would like to have.

[sweetdee1959]

Why can't we be friends? The whole world? All nations, all countries, all races?

[aba2185]

@sweetdee1959 because some religions are focused on the downfall of america

[sweetdee1959]

@aba2185 I don't know that it is the "religions" per say as much as it is some "individuals" in certain religions that has that focus. I still have hope that we will all get along someday. I may not live to see it but perhaps the younger generations will get it right. "One Love"

[WOOBIEDOOBIE]

[scalp340]

2:13 is exactly what happens, only he should be wearing a pin stripe suite and instead of a gun, it should be a voting ballot.

[crash09er]

the5 people who disliked this song dont like black people

[RobToddyTV]

This song makes you realise what a shithole this world is.

I'm 12 and i know that.

Am i right?

[Jimmy1tooth]

@RobToddyTV alot of good things out there your only 12 or i would tell you about them but believe me there is alot of good times ahead of you

[harryreid09]

@RobToddyTV who gives a shit if your 12

[MsJayjay97]

@harryreid09 man, that's so not cool. you just defied the meaning of the song.

[MrWaffles210]

@harryreid09 Who gives a shit if you make a dumb ass comment.

[WhiteCookieStudios]

@RobToddyTV Aggreed mate, 13 London, England here

[zapper12382]

@RobToddyTV sort of but u claim the whole world is a shit hole i beg to differ as my part of the world though it just may be one insignificant place its still perfect :) remeber the world ain't a shit whole its certain people who shit holes for ruining things the world is awesome just not all the time

[TheDENCOnative]

@RobToddyTV Life is only a shithole if you make it that way... smile and live life because thats how short it is bro... i grew up in the ghetto section 8.. i'm 18 survived the gang life and going to college.. we all have choices and you can either let the worlds problems bring you down.. or you can help and be the one who stands out for change.. MUSIC, LOVE, AND PEACE

[FireBuff51]

@RobToddyTV if the 12 year olds think of the world as a shit hole instead of trying to make it better, then maybe it will be...

[Xxsoul56hunterxX]

@FireBuff51 They think the world is a shit hole cuz they want to sound all cool and stuff. ._. sadly they dont understand the meaning of life.

[ryuouji]

@RobToddyTV I know you were just doing it for the free thumbs up.

[furpurr]

@RobToddyTV no it is not. this world is BEAUTIFUL...there are simply too many who cannot see that, which is the sad part.

[fracturepb]

@RobToddyTV I'm 12 and what is this?

[notverysuperdean]

isnt it so ironic how a band called WAR made a song about peace???

:)

[cindiloohoo552]
