Be Heard: What's Worth Fighting For?

[Thorrific]

If it took watching a movie for you to figure out that gangs are stupid then you are still stupid.

[Muzik4daSoul]

Nah Canada goes through harsh violence and gang and racism stuff 2, we dont live in igloos u noe. But u see, ppl aren't well informed about that kind of stuff..many ppl aren't.Most ppl only think mad cow iz the worst thing that happens 2 us lol

[Trulyamayziing]

333TGINN333 u r totally right.

[arodaparg]

¿y quien eres tu para decidir quien se lo merece y quien no? a ver si el que no se lo va a merecer eres tu por racista.

[333TGINN333]

Theirs idiots all over the world only in America the idiots have guns. If YouTube does one thing I hope it will ram home the fact that WE ARE ALL THE SAME YOU DUMB SHITS

[hrnalanna]

no we ARE ALL DIFFERENT thats what we all need to accept and get over in order to be less violent

[rizzock]

This is ture evry last word. People say go to school etc.. but thats not a reality to evryone especially latinos in cali.

[ArcticFox90]

The name of the song is "A Dream" by Common

[lumel1985]

What's the name of that song in background??

[jjeremyy]

THERES UGNNA BE A MOVIE?

[kalessandro21]

wow this is my first time on youtube and seeing and listening is what i didnt really expect .

[linusmari]

to everyone who is in trouble with gangs, guns, violence and the hardships that may have caused you to get entangled with the wrong crowd..

i pray you all get out.

believe. strive. and you will.

[Beatlebabyagain]

Keep going with your thoughts -- they are good.

[cvbncvbncvbn]

stepmasha you shouldn't be talking because you don't even know how hard it is to live in places where people have guns and shit.

[techthrill]

This video is totally awesome beheard, this takes the mystery out of what really goes on with kids today. Thanks for posting such a heartfelt positive message.

[plumflowerfist]

I was on here last week and wanted to re to a not so nice comment and didn't have time, but now i see since coming back the comment was removed. As much as it hurts to see these not so kind comments, it is good to let these ppl be heard; so that ppl like me can help them to see the errors of their ways.

[LinnOuthit]

Lets put all the wealthy, opinionated (and probably white) people in a slum and watch 'em dance!

How good's your education now?

[burnslondon]

cuz that will solve all the worlds problems(rolling eyes); that way economy's will falter, housing will collapse, kos will rank supreme due to lack of imports from surrounding country's and civil war will break out.

[burnslondon]

cuz that will solve all the worlds problems(rolling eyes); that way economy's will falter, housing will collapse, kos will rank supreme due to lack of imports from surrounding country's and civil war will break out.

[burnslondon]

There is corruption among the wealthy, but without many of they're big businesses the current way we live would be nonexistent. Unless you want to give up on all material things and live off the land, if not that leave your comments to yourself, you sound like a communist.

[LinnOuthit]

Think a little harder, it's big businesses that have the negative impact on this world. Sure our cheap and easy access to apples or rice from China is great (I live in North America), so how come people in China wither and die because they don't have any food? Trans-National corperations.

[LinnOuthit]

We as westerners take our cushy lives for granted like it's some sort of god-given right, but the reality of it is that the majority of the world sleeps in filth and starves while we drive SUVs. Even the dirtiest of western ghettos pale in comparison to other parts of the world.

[LinnOuthit]

And any smart economist knows that the most stable economies are localized and self-sufficient, thus not needing outside service. Communism has never worked and probably won't ever work, but something tells me you couldn't even clearly explain the different political ideals to me if you tried.

So shut up and come back when you actually have a valid point, bag-head.

[burnslondon]

I never said Communism works, nor did I ever say we can't live off our own economic strength. I'm just saying with many country's current energy consumption they cannot sustain they're own population without foreign exports; significant change will be needed in order to do this, not only that but these corporations are responsible for hundreds of millions of people's jobs

[burnslondon]

. We're do you think places like Japan get they're oil from? They need these trans-national corporations to survive. I also recall saying that these large organizations do have corruption among they're numbers, which can cause people to wither and die as you say.

[burnslondon]

But the sad truth of the matter is that all the low cost housing complexes you find in ghettos are from large corporations, without them there would be a vast jump in the homeless populace numbers. Your right though, I couldn't explain all the political ideals... can you...

[LinnOuthit]

That's better. So, yes, large corperations do provide housing, and sometimes it's even more than a shack, but this is no excuse for the role they play in advocating child labour, dodging environmental law, and funding morally wrong gov'ts.

[LRamsey89]

ur being racist by making the assumption its white people so watch what you say racism is a double edged sword.

[LinnOuthit]

Racism is a concept created by white people to exploit the weak during puritan times, it's an extension of poor bashing. White people "racialized" people of other ethnicities to create an idea of superiority for themselves.

[LinnOuthit]

This "double edged" sword is pretty damn blunt on one side, at least in my country. The majority of people here are most certainly not old rich white people, but about 95% of our political body consists of that demographic. I can't help but think there's some racism going on wit that dynamic.

[LRamsey89]

Ok,racism is the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities spacific to that race. So we are all a little racist. Now this belief in racism is from long before puritan times. The original slaves were the slavs a group of people in eastern europe back before roman times. Thats were the word comes from. Before making accusations you should read up on your history.

[LinnOuthit]

Slavery and racism are two seperate things, their histories are deeply entwined, and yes it's gone on much longer than the middle ages. But people have been enslaved by people of the same skin color. There was a slave trade in Africa before Europeans, it was only when colonialists needed cheap labour in place of the First Nations that it became a truly prominent racist act.

[LinnOuthit]

Don't call me a racist. Also realise that we have a choice as sentient human beings to not believe in the man-made concept of race. And as for "abilities" and "charactaristics", this isn't Dungeons and Dragons, people are poeple.

[LRamsey89]

I used the webster defination of racism so if you dont agree take it up with them. As for being racist, are you saying you have never judged someone basid on race. Because you did in your original comment.

What country are you from because political situations might be different between ours. Im from the U.S.

[jerryma]

W/O dreams a child dies; everytime a child dies the world becomes a bit darker. Encourage children to dream; lead them to the light; hold them through the violence.

[iuliusCamillus]

Everytime a child is born into a ghetto family where the mother is a welfare whore and the father a good for nothing gangster, the world becomes a lot darker. Bring back Eugenics!

[MJkiddub]

will u haters honestly shut the "Whoopdeefucking" hell up gawd this dude is talikng about rising up from nothing and all u ppl can say is hey fuck you!!!! for making the right choice? go to hell!! for shrugging off the weights of the ghetto ? and making something of yourself seriously you ppl need to get a life ! peace

[Choderific]

I felt like I just went to the zoo. Most of the problems that exist in the world happen when idiots collide. You just have to keep away from the idiots.

[Pimpzilla652]

ey, whats the name of the song playin in the background?

[Applecri]

Why do people have to be so negative geez, hate it when stressed people take their load off on others.

Why can't everything be just simple and have everybody being aware of others' feelings and not being so freakin' discrimminatory. Let's not be racist people. It's the stupidest thing, if you dislike someone don't blame it on their race.

[iuliusCamillus]

Race is a leading factor in the way people behave.  It may not be genetic, but it's the culture fostered, promoted and practiced by particular races and is therefore subject to being interpreted in racial terms. Hows that for clear thinking?;-)

[adryroseinbloom]

People accept it. That is the problem.

[rolfie1969]

I am serious , lets all gang up ... my Ma , can be the leader, truss me ....I am a chicken , ye get me.. ?

[rolfie1969]

Yeah , lets all GANG up , because we are all individually scared. For some reason this whole series gets on my nerves. I will fight for my shitty council flat. better still , I will sell crack , and bring in addicts and criminals into 'my' area, is that OK with you MA?

[papamo194265]

Things like what we just watched will continue to happen until we take back the "Hood".

Gang's are what WE let them be!!

[mitchzie]

Overall, In todays society, we only think of ourselves and not on a collective level. Meaning if we all teamed up to change for the better it would only take a day and not years! Seems so petty to fight for a "turf", religion or race. We have enough psycho leaders to wreak havoc as it is!

[bigpearls]

i had a dream that a gang wanted to kill me. omgsh. i hate it when i have dreams like that. thankgod its not for real but really stong clip.

[Froggy1975]

last beer is worth fighting for

[666jman666]

this guy is the breeze merchant of venice trussssssssss

[gnail]

What's worth fighting for now? A PS3.

[apeppink]

Good realization Sergio, though it seems a long time in coming. Use your energies for positive things.

Good work.

[jandaba1]

so whatever you don't own and pay for is not worth fighting for? you think you progressed? pathetic...

[iuliusCamillus]

Send 'em all to Iraq. The A-rabs will teach 'em all they need to know about fighting for turf.

[halftrak]

lol, that'd be something to see. Personally I'd be cheering for the Arabs in THAT fight

[GilbertSmith]

You don't like latinos?

[99fusion]

oil, religion, sex and drugs are worth fighting for, but more importantly you should fight because it's cool.

[FloridaDude23]

religion yes.. drugs nooo and oil maybe, haha jk

[GilbertSmith]

You think religion is worth fighting for? That legally classifies you as a terrorist. Anyone who puts up violence in the name of religion is basically the worst kind of person there is.

[VeriteserumGirl]

yeh i gotta agree wit u (although im christian) we shouldnt fight but leave God to do the fighting for us...

[SSJSampson]

There is something about these videos i just dont like. Guess its just the obnoxious american culture making me feel sick!

[thunderstixxmil]

ok, leave, see ya, bye. He's right, the video is right

[GilbertSmith]

Yeah, because it's not like other countries have problems with racism and gang violence. That's an entirely American thing, isn't it?

[vorbach1]

If this means anything to you type "graffjamie" in the "Search for" box and watch what happens in the Blues Harmonica Solo video.

[rolfie1969]

Yeah the American Indians didn't even own it.

[Foober]

*giggle*

[Lraodsye]

hope lot of people educate this short but very interesting video....

[Kilkman]

The implied message is good but the title sucks. Been down that road. Life can be a bitch, It seems like everyone is out to screw you, and guess what, they are! Trying to live and walk with true pride and honor is a never ending battle. And all you usually get for your blood sweat and tears is the knowledge that you did the right thing. It wont make you rich, It could get you killed. But would you rather die as a man or live like a worm.

[Necessity2006]

Beheard, give us the song man, everyone wants to get it, lol

[Incogneto]

Whats the background song?

[TITORRIGHT]

truth straight from the heart

[Jen817]

these kind of things happens everyday if u enjoy hearing things like this over and over maybe u should just try reading the newspaper it's the same shit everyday

[biggiesmiley]

agreed...

[reefermadnice]

when someone wakes up from shit life,listen to them

[gamschile]

short video but makes alot of sence and sends quite a message. nice job

[Denetsu]

That's quiet enough out of you. Why don't you keep those thoughts to yourself.

[iuliusCamillus]

Animefareast spoke the goddamn truth. Those beaners are vermin and they don't belong in my country!

[inPhy]

EH, I think that you don't get the meaning of all those videos... It isn't an excuse, just watch those another videos... and then say something...

[antoenail]

shut up geek

[phsycoactivHiME]

nah..they are excuses ..indeeed!

[phsycoactivHiME]

hahaaha def these videos are  excuses

[dj243]

Why wont beheard just tell us the name of the song lol, its pissing me off.

[padetic]

the songis called ''A Dream''

[1MunKeeZ1]

i like all of the beheard videos. but i'm wonderin what the song is, can someone pls tell me?sounds a lot like common

[bigjstokes]

It's common and it's called "I have a dream"

It's up right now at hiphopdx.com. real good song.

[levlobotomy]

moon colony pls

[stephmasha]

what's the point? that you DON'T want cops in your neighborhood? do you think that would be an improvement?

and by the way, NO ONE owns their neighborhood. So it's nothing to feel sorry for yourself about.

[mrbluesky1234]

what video were you watching retard

[Johnnygyro]

He's not asking you to feel sorry for him, you completely missed the point.

[blackturtleus]

What's worth fighting for? ANSWER: The last piece of pizza!

[CzarBishop]

lmao blackturtleus you're such an ass haha

[PosionRose]

ROFL

[Plur307]

It's called getting an education... And don't say the schools don't have enough $. I went to the poorest school in Kansas and I graduated with a scholarship to college with my good grades. That paid for my higher education and now I have a great job.

[KingR3aper]

It's also called ignorance, and paranoia.

[BarbaraTheSchniggidy]

So you realized that school was easy when you were young. Whoopdeefuckingdoo for you. Go beat off to the thought of yourself.

[ephesus]

Yeah, you clearly don't actually understand what it's like in a truly bad situation. Kind of the unaffected oversimplification of a problem.

[mp2dtw]

If you're really 51 and can say that, you've walked through life blind. We're only the sum of our experiences. If I've learnt one thing in this life; most people presume to know things about others based on false assumptions.

[lelik091]

That involves hard work. It's much easier to remain in poverty and simply blame the government for your destitution. Until these marginalized communities drop the persecution mentality, they'll remain on the fringe.

[adashjay]

Yes but just because you stay in school, the people around you will still be who they are and most likely try to drag you into their lifestyle, and if you say no, they'll either respect you or mash you up.

[mase15]

Wow.. thanks for the inspiring comment. Everyone has to learn things their own way, Plur307. Post secondary education isnt for everyone. You dissagree? Look at your comment, You sound like a stuck-up dink.

[SmalleyBigs]

wow. Powerful clip.

[ashlian]

what is this song called?

[crotteck]

i dont know but the rapper sounds alot like black thought from the Roots

hope that helps

[Radiobutterfly]

I think the rapper is Common but I don't know who sing the chorus

[crotteck]

ahh ok.. yes, it is common
