  • @hehfilms

    You defend a racist peice of shit and you call me a bigot? haha seriously dude get a fuckin life.

  • @hehfilms

    Haha my bigotry? You dont want to argue, yet you continue to do so? Your an idiot. Almost as much as that other guy.

  • @hehfilms

    I really dont care what you think dude. I can condemn anyone and my original statement wasnt about racism it was an insult directed at one douchebag so please take your silly argument to someone who gives a shit what you think. Thanks. Have a great day.

  • @hehfilms

    I mistook nothing. Thanks.

  • Red Horse. Is coming.

  • 0:12 Oh he looks so scared :'(

  • Beautiful video!

  • every band has their day in the sun and now reznor occasionally puts out a cool tune but not 10 in a row

  • I watched the movie "To Save a Life" and it was alright, but i thought of the beginning of this song the whole time, it was weird and incredible, I LOVE THIS SONG, along with all of his other instrumentals, and i love his vocal stuff too, Trent Reznor is the, i would say, the best artist ever, i just wish he would make more stuff, and not anymore sukky crap like his new "the slip" shit, i love the downward spiral, with teeth, year zero, the fragile, PHM

  • there is 1 version of the truth,Christ.but others trying to link there agenda to it.trying to make Christ have no effect,ie sound proof him,box him up.

    Christ said let the dead bury the dead.keep them boxes away from Christ.

    the life,not the boxed up death of others .

    put yourself in a box and not me.and don,t make out it,s Christians fault,when you get hurt.

  • @EASTENDGLEN - Reopen your mind to it because you're missing out on the continuing message. Or maybe it's that you didn't really understand NIN in the first place from the albums "Down In It" to "the Fragile."

  • I am sorry if I got a little angri down there

    but seriusly comments like that just pisses me of

  • @XmXFLUXmX Anti-rasism and Marxism are two separate things

    you ingnorant idiot

    Besides he didn't ruin the song : this is quiet a good video (I think)

  • @turok188 Uh no, they are synonymous with each other. Maybe your the one whos ignorant? Have you ever thought about that? 

  • @XmXFLUXmX No they are not

    Marxism is an idiologie based on puting the meens of production in the hands of the workers (one of the problems with communisme was that they confused the people whith the State,and one of the numerous problems whit nasonal sosalism (the nazis )was that they confused the people and a race)

    Anti-rasism is simply to fight rasism

    You can be sosialist (Marxist) and a rasist.

    You just proved that you were the ignorant

    Ps: yes my english is bad ,its not my first language.

  • @XmXFLUXmX So capitalism is good? Fuck you nazi scum !

  • @icemohawk Wow, just like all of the other retarded commies, scream "nazi" as if it makes you right or sound intelligent.

    You really are a twat, you know that?

  • @XmXFLUXmX

    Awesome fail. To bad your mom didnt swallow.

  • @MorrisonHotel87 so true.

  • peaceful song, peaceful message.

  • thank uyou every one who commented before me :down there

  • This video really touched me. Thank you.

  • The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of Irish-Americans, English- Americans, French-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic." -Theodore Roosevelt

  • it's not the color of your skin that matters, it's that you beat your women if they dont cover their entire bodies, chop off peoples hands for stealing, and murder people converting from islam. not your skin friend, its your backward ass ideals we hate. hopefully these people will begin to move forward now..hope it isnt too late.

  • Call all comrade, no race creed or colour.

  • @JenkemMarijuannaWOG

    Jes' keep s'posin', s'posin', s'posin'

  • @JenkemMarijuannaWOG

    Just keep trollin' trollin' trollin'

  • @JenkemMarijuannaWOG

    You... you inhale poop gas. I don't know if we can trust your opinions.

  • I'm not racist! I hate everyone equally

  • Comment removed

  • your title needs work.

    im not racist.

    dont call me an idiot.

  • Idiot

  • @Jcolinsol

    first off racism is still VERY alive in the U.S. sorry to burst your bubble. And racism should be condemned, id say the video is serving more of a purpose of dont forget what it used to be and still very much so is in parts of the world.... especially the states.

  • No, it's dead, speaking from an ideological perspective.

    it is dead in the same way that Nietzsche pronounced God to be dead. There are still people who believe in God, but the notion is dead.

    Even more so with racism because racism is seen as a dead ideology by the majority of people in America. Racists are already in the minority at this point.

    Going on about condemning racism is a form of public masturbation. It accomplishes nothing except your own gratification.

  • @Demonact1337 Sure racism is alive and well. It's a booming Industry and some ethnic groups are holding a monopoly on racism. Racism is no longer who's allowed to vote or use a restroom, no, racism is now what is that white guy thinking or what are those group of white people intentions. Racism is now nothing more than a politcal pistol owned by one party withan itchy trigger finger. It dilutes any real racist threats we face as Al Sharpton runs around and cries wolf.

  • the color of my skin is SUNBURN!

  • eres mas tonto que las piedras...

  • souls have no colours

    great work, 5*

  • I'm human. You are too.

    ... and NIN rocks.

  • I'm WHITE! complex video...

  • I love this video.

    It's....wonderful ^.^

    Racism is huge in the world.

    And it's awful.

    But it's there.

  • fuck sorry people. I meant the UNDERRATED is the best forms of art. excuse the mistake...

  • keep the text.. let the divine inspire your point better.. even though i do get it.. just trying to help to reach out at the people who think this is a 'left wing' vid/ and will dismiss it at the very site of an indian or muslee'm. funny how we are all so ignorant to call muslims Muzlims.. lol! oh well.. good job anyway.. now // here is another version of the truth.. reznor conquered drugs and addiction and inspired masses!!!! and isnt a fucking preacher.. imagine that?? 5* btw

  • very nice this is a good way to feel this song for what it is really worth thank you trent and thank you bluestellauna

  • This video made me pause and think for a second... good work!

  • Brilliant video.

    Also does anyone else think that the woman on the right centre at 1:21 looks exactly like Hoshi off Star Trek Enterprise lol

  • this video is way too sappy..overdone.....trying to make a point ..but to sappy..i give an A a for effort ,but please try again

  • Les journaux télévisés ou non nous gavent de choses laides, sans relâche. Mais bon sang, un autre monde peut exister. Je suis fatigué par moment de cette époque de fous. Alors, si nous pouvions éteindre nos télévisions et aller discuter plus souvent avec des gens dans la rue...?

  • wonderful. <3

  • as always love~you rule!

  • this video is very touching. the song is touching enough. why the **** should we care what colour peoples skin are. if people are a different colour to white and they get punished. y don't we? i am not saying  white man is the source of the problem. but i am saying this. ages ago white people had most controll and only now we are starting to give back. what the hell. Every thing deservs freedom. not just a certan group.

  • do you believe that animals deserve the same rights as humans do? We are all animals after all.

  • exacly (this is jackhamme152) we are all animals. there for we all deserve rights.

  • They are as much alive as humans are, probably even more with the freedom they live with. To simply stop eating animals is unnatural, but to simply kill and eat what we need to survive, that's living.

  • IMHO, racism still continue to cease as along as human live. Pretty sad. But that is the world we live in

  • Cease does not mean what you think it means.

  • i am definetly in no way near racisit because i dont know who's who im colorblind, bad

  • If you woke up one morning and could see a new color - how would you react?

    Does God make certain people colorblind at birth for a reason?

    4 letter word - so simple so complex so universal - Yet we still have such a hard time understanding - L O V E

  • i agree with this vid... the poem.. if it was you wearing there shoes, feeling that the people around you are racist against you. i tell you it sucks... 5/5

  • It is very well done. But, being against racism is not exactly rocking the boat. Everyone in western countries claims to be against racism.

    I know that many people will say that they are against racism and sexism. Then they say "I hate white men" or "white men are the source of all our problems". It is very prevalent on university campuses where white men make up as little as 25% of the students. People often just say what is correct for the culture that they live in.

  • The world is unfair. HOW TRAGIC.

  • Trent Reznor is the most underrated musical genius out there. He writes the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

  • look at it this way: the overrated is usually the best forms of art.

  • So, all the "hot" music right now, all the top 10 bullshit is the best form of art? If you really think that, you're incompetent. All that simple minded disposable excuse for music (Lil Wayne, Britney Spears, etc etc) is pure shit, but some people love eating shit that is fed to them from the radio and tv.

  • Indeed. Music has gone to crap. Lil Wayne and all this major crap. I hate it.

  • @MorrisonHotel87 FUCK YES!! I absolutely HATE Lil Wayne. I like ONE song by him. The others are just complete and pure shit. The music that's made these days is NOT music. It's just a way for people to indulge themselves more and disrespect anyone that tries to tell them something they don't want to hear. When they hear/see others doing it, they figure why not? It's fucking ridiculous. I so miss the music of the 90's.... :-/

  • @MorrisonHotel87 It's what they like and this is what we like, get the fuck over it.

  • @MorrisonHotel87 Why does it make you react that way to music other people like? Music is so diverse, man, be it The Who, be it Justin Bieber, be it The Temptations or Iron Maiden. It's all music taking on different forms, or more correctly, human expression! People just nedd to enjoy what they enjoy and let other people enjoy what they enjoy. Taste is the enemy of art.

  • ReichsfuhrerJenkem is gay

  • somebody gave you the wrong definition of ignorant

  • enlighten us

  • Your ignorance is forgiven by the enlightened.

  • Bravo!!!!!

  • This song is just ..amazing.

  • That made me cry.

  • This is an excellent presentation, Blue. Mea Leaan is a good friend of mine and an awesome poet. Have you ever submitted any of your 'shorts' to the film festival? If you are interested in hearing about it, please send me a personal message and I'll give you the site and details.

  • It's no big secret. I'll explain it as simply as possible. Guys with money fuck with our minds so everyone fights eachother instead of the real threat. Feel free yet? You should because the only prison that's been constructed is by you for you.

  • So maybe you should break out of that prison you made for yourself then. Guys with money only fuck with our minds because simple little people such as yourself do nothing, but complain. You might win the lotto some day and suddenly you're a million heir. Sure at first you do the right thing, give money to charity and help people, but soon enough you'll do the same thing ever other rich person does out there.

  • I know the thought that someone controlling you is a bit chilling. But you really need to get over it and move on.

    The next step is to change how people perceive you. So you'll be more accepted and you'll be able to help more people understand why this construct exists. Because there's plenty of ways civilization could of gone. This isn't exactly what most would consider a decadent lifestyle. The Romans would laugh at us all and the Babylonians would cry.

  • i hate niggers, i really hate them..but im not judging them on thier skin color..and ill tell you why. my sister is married to a black man. and wouldnt trade him for the world as a brother in law. and im voting for obama.but i still hate the niggers with thier blasting bass,rattling cars with over sized wheels,sagging pants that they have to hold up while walking,mush moutn ebonics that everything has to end with an a or z or -izzle..inconsiderate,illitera­te,fashion disaster,degenerate,niggers

  • THAT is prejudice right there. You group all blacks together in one group, claiming that ALL black people have low-riding pants, chains, bouncing cars, the whole gangsta thing going on. DON'T. Yes, many blacks do. But that DOES NOT give you the right to judge all blacks that way. Instead of saying you hate blacks, say you hate gansgters. That's what you hate. But really, it's like me saying I hate all white people because they're all rich white elitist snobs. Do you get what I mean?

  • hate me because im responsible? hate me because i have ambition for my family to live well? hate me because i put myself through college 3 times? hate me because the only laws ive broken is minor traffic laws? hate me because i work hard? hate me because i care what others think of me based on first impressions? hate me because ive done this all on my own,without any help?....THEN HATE ME!!!!!!

  • Uh... what the hell? Did I say I hate you? NO. I was giving you an example. But I do dislike racist people like you. I don't care if you've gone through college and only broken traffic laws, and all that other shit. That doesn't mean you're a good person. But no, I don't hate you. I was just trying to help you, but you're too ignorant to actually listen to what I'm saying.

  • "then hate me" it was a general statement not directed at you.........im not a racist...please refer back to my first comment post...i hate niggers!!! i dont care what race..anybody that cant speak, cant dress, inconsiderate of others,and think that being a piece of shyt is cool...they are a nigger!!!!!

  • ...You're really, really stupid, aren't you? Nigger = offensive word for a black person. What you hate is the GANGSTERS. Must I repeat myself more than once?

  • If I say redneck or hillbilly, you get an image in your head. It's a white person, right? But not just any white person; it brings to mind the "bottom of the barrel" white people.

    I'm sure abarnes330 wasn't thinking of all black people when he used the word nigger; he was thinking of the black equivalent to a redneck.

    All groups have their morons. Don't hate the morons because of their color; instead, find morons of your own color and smack some sense into them!

  • Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to explain to him! Thank you. =D

  • i actually heard the same stuff from Chris Rock. it's like the equivalent of Trailer Trash but urbanized. hence why it's not really race specific, there's Jigger, and Wiggers too. it's a cross-Racial slur. it depicts misogynistic, materialistically driven, violence loving, drug using, lazy, unlawful people, with no respect except for the dumbest shit.

  • Absolutely one of my favorite instrumentals by NIN! Right up there with Just Like You Imagined and Corona Radiata.

  • GREAT VIDEO!!! 5/5

  • "Everything you are is based on what you believe in."

    Sounds like Decartes statement; "I think therefore I am".

    I would say that I don't think therefore I am, I am therefore I can think. If I think I am something it doesn't make me become that that thing, but instead it colors my perception of the world and the things I create will reflect my self image of me and will all be flawed by the distortion of my self image, which is a misunderstanding of who I really am.

  • Everything you are is based on what you believe in.

  • nice vid

  • Racism is one of the most horrific aspects of humanity in my opinion... just think how much we as a species could accomplish if we all could work together?

  • Racism...I'll admit theres been more than one time when I looked at someone and thought...well less than good thoughts and maybe they were based at least somewhat on skin tone? Its hard to break away from when your immersed in that culture. Then I look at mysef and realize Im a fool. We need to look at how we are all alike. What bonds us. A human enterprising spirit. The unstoppable human drive. The social connection that today circles the globe. Racism is one of many chains. Lets break them...

  • Racism is just another way of avoiding the problem. The problem being that our intire life were looking for something we are afraid we may never find. Put aside your blind rage and see we all are one whole connected through different variables of an equasion. waaalaa you will see the truth between the lines..

  • why are people so pessimistic on the subject of racism? it is not a biological impulse. and if people would just try to reach one person at a time, though it may take forever, it makes a difference. and slowly but surely there will be change.

  • come on be realistic....racism will never fade. there billions of people...not easy to get billions of people to agree on something like racism. no way...too many personal values...experiences...opinion­s. u cnt change it

  • I am 40 year old man of the Afrikan diaspora. I am proud of this fact because I know who am I, where I came from, and where I need to be going. It because I love and appreciate this life GOD has given me, I am able to embrace ALL humanity. Racism has to be absolutely the dumbest part of life experience I have encountered. It saddens my spirit that there is so much hatred and destruction in the world all because of the color of one's skin. I do my part to put a stop to this madness. How about U?

  • Racism is an instinct. An evolutionary defense mechanism. A biological impulse.

    If you want to end racism, hatred, war, etcetera. You must disintegrate your own biology.

  • That is a really biased statement.

    Racism comes from ignorance. I know we all were never born as racists. A child isn't racist until they are exposed, but a child will be scared of a bear at first glance. My best childhood friend was a black child and as I moved and got older, I started to hate and make remarks... I look back at those days and wonder why I said those things even though my best friend was a black child. I've forgotten something, forgot that we are all the same.

  • Biased towards or against what?

    I disagree that racism is founded in ignorance. There must be an evolutionary explanation for it, as there is with all animal psychology.

  • There must be an evolutionary explanation for it? lol

    Shows how much you know!

    Racism comes from fear, insecurity, and malign intent. Somewhere in your little head you think you're superior than other races. You know what I call that?

    Fucking ignorance.

  • You haven't really provided a salient argument here. You've just accused me of racism. I'm not a racist, I never have been. Never will be.

    Why not try again, and see if you can't organize your thoughts into a rational argument?

    thanks much,

  • I think you may have a point there, that there could be an evolutionary explanation. But, I do not think it is so simple. It may be partially evolutionary, in the sense that in the past, when people lived in tribe and clan based societies, the fact that someone had a different skin color would show them as an outsider, and therefore competition. However, I think it has to be said that how one is raised also plays a large part in it.

  • Well culture of course plays a role, but culture is also instinctual. There are some tribes, as I have been made to understand, that only let their young people marry someone who does not speak their own language. So, if racism becomes endemic in a society, of course it will be learned as culture by the children. The solution is the same, empiricism, and the disintegration of natural instinct through critical thinking.

  • I agree.

  • the problem is , as long as there people in this world there will always be racism.

  • well with your kind of mentality of course racism will continue.

  • but dude thats the way it is, me myself respect every kinds of people, but there will always be this one person that is a racist,you cant stop that, do you know wat i mean??

  • This is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard. So powerful, it almost makes me cry when the piano slowly fades away

  • a fellow philosephor

    been searching for another one

    but besides that point

    you r right

  • Our world is limited by its divisions, we know we cant remove all divisions, but we can disolve the ones that do not matter. Race is one division that has no purpose but to blind and limit humanity. This division will fall away and shed to a more evolved and true division, there will be only the rich and the poor. Only then will we realize the system has failed.

  • "Another Version of the Truth" really fits Mea Leann Poem. Thank you for posting this up. Maybe someday we will open our eyes...someday

  • if anyone has hate comments on race

    get the fuck out of here

    we are nin fans not skin heads

    go jack off to a hitler video

    We shall overcome ............

  • i dont care abut hwat color pepol are

  • Great vid - thank you !

    There should be more people like you!

  • strong poem, beautiful pictures, and great choice of song.

  • as Tyler Durden once said, "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else"

    No one deserves any more or any less than anyone else.

  • the images of iraq and the soldiers really fits the song. Racism, i think, comes from one man's egotistical need to feel inherently better than another (people of the same color even do it to each other). Its an ego thing, and until we can conquer that, this problem will continue. But i for one will be the one fighting to end it. Great work on the video. Touching.

  • really good

  • I understand man would never have achieved so many things without fighting eachother

    but today do we still need to fight can't we just share and learn, and then eventually compete and find out who's the best, violence has to stop. fear drives people mad

  • It is the very nature of man to fight.

    Color of skin is just an excuse...but it works!

  • "I hope one day you'll join us, and the world will be as one"...

    Great words from Lennon.. and a Great video from you. Inspite of finding such a treasure..I feel numb inside after watching this. And it is such a powerful poem. Thanks for sharing.

  • Very simple, but very amazing and the message is there.

    I personally picture a beautiful field with a barn with the first picture on another version of the truth website, and someone painting over it the Another version of the truth picture, then a hand painting the same picture over the real world and the kid who painted the picture on the barn vanishing.

  • great video & song too :) it fits the message

  • Awesome video!!

  • LOVE THIS VIDEO .. color doesnt matter or religion.. wouldnt have my son if it did..

  • wow someone that gets it ;)

  • Awesome, thank you BlueStellaluna!

  • Wow i love your videos

  • I agree.........whether your black , white, or asian....we all know pain or suffering...why not come together as one

  • shame on the 0000northamericans we provide the food the fuel and drugs some you nedd some more you are the rspomdability off knonk out the world you will die, us dont battering the humann race you are digusting you nate the emptyness off this world, do you like that

    ? this is the only world you can have!!!

  • that was bad ass

  • why cant we all be friends

  • pathetic videos are the ones you have in your favorites

  • Yes... But I think it would be much more helpful to express the intention of "why can't we all be friends" through reasonable arguments. E.g. by showing that we historically have a lot in common and - by looking far back - even the sames roots.

  • thank you.

  • Fairly simple - cause monkeys hate. You know what you are.

  • i wish you could share it with me just so i can show it at my school.

  • There is only one race, the human race. Whatever, we don't care about color skin or religion that everyone practises. In spite of the differents cultures, there are no real differences between people because we all make the human race.

  • this brought tears to my eyes. thank you for making it.

  • i hate this right and wrong bullshit its just another esoteric layer of "i think" thought perception.

    race is such a tragic loss at itself for itself... never once was i ever racist and grew up in a multi culture town, with many of the natives this is THERE home land, not mine.

    but you see they never take it away from me as them we all laugh and do the same, the concept of right and wrong is a joke when standing before harmony.

  • I'd love to agree but even the term Race or Rasist is used out of term. All Homosapiens belong to the human race. What you are angry about is Biggotry and Intollerance. I'm sorry but I don't have a magic wand, The biggots and Intollerant will always use the laws that are in place of the Individual to abuse them! there is no such thing as a Multicultural society. a culture defines a society. You grew up lucky and in an Understanding Society.

  • Actually they moved thousands of years ago along the Bering Strait to America...

  • "I hope one day you'll join us, and the world will be as one." ...to clarify...let it NOT be the Hive Mind luciferian NWO version, where everyone is either RFID chipped (and in a trance) or in Gulags. If you think I jest, think again. Operation Redsky/MK-Ultra/Operation Monarch - Happy Chemtrails...

  • War... Why do we have it?

    Famine... Why do we have it?

    Religion... Why do we have it?

  • money and power one would tell you...

    it does not have to be this way! an informed public can stop them in there tracks!

  • Arabs are human beings.

  • You know that first soldier with his head in his hand looked a lot like my old squad leader.I got out 2 years ago and had two tours.That means he's problably on at least his fifth tour.We really need to pull out of there,we're putting our soldiers through hell.The video made me ask myself are we so different from each other?We are all made in God's image.I just wish everyone had God's love inside them.

  • different for nine inch!!

  • SO good !

  • WOW, that was beautiful

  • Just Beautiful... I want to paint all these pictures all over my car and just drive.

  • Great vid. Great points.

  • You fucking ROCK.

    Loved this.

    Loved this.

    Come check out my video's I have one called Mad World where I have a similar message...

  • its an instrumental this song could be about a anything. are you stupid?

  • No, I'm not. Are you even following the whole idea of Year Zero? Another Version of the Truth. Why the hell would that be about Racism in the year 2022? The song is clearly about people finally realizing what they have been doing, and what the government has been doing. God, people are just stupid when it comes to knowing the meaning of music.

  • So because you think your right, that makes everyone else wrong?

  • I never said everyone else is wrong. On YouTube people say what they think about videos. I think this video sucks. I realize other people like it, and I accept their opinion. I don't understand why people try to fight me over the internet for thinking a video is bad.
