Part 2 --- You make out that you want things to be even and equal and all this but where the hell are your videos from the other side of the story or ideally from BOTH.

You go smoke a blunt and reflect on that brother, no I'm not being racist either before anyone thinks about playing the racism card.

I like black people and Rastas and all other races equally despite all the shit that happens, it just makes me sad you didn't make things seem equal despite apparently wanting them to be.

[ConsciousL]

I agree it doesn't seem equal in this account, but I speak from a 'Black' perspective because I am Black. I have told many before you, I hate racism no matter who the racist or who the victim is and will gladly write a song from any perspective if someone of another race has a story to share. This song was written based on the story I had to share. The thought never slipped my mind that racism is multidirectional, but u do understand what I mean about perspectives right?

Part 1 --- Yeah but basically if black people are writing songs from a black perspective and white from a white, you have this difference again and its more likely to lead to further racism, ya know?

I understand where your coming from entirely but unless you can manage to do some research on some black on white and mix it in with the white on black then you come off as hypocritical in a sense.

[ConsciousL]

aah, ure right. We have to show it both ways, say it both ways, attack it both ways. I guess from my standpoint the issue is it's hard to relate both when you only live one side of it. For me, I have so much experience from my end of the spectrum but nothing from the other end and i think because i don't know how it feels for others, is why i can't paint the full picture, but I'm open to any input. I'm only fighting racists, not races.

This is bunch BS I'm white and I got in fight with black guy and I was facing 4 felonies 5 years for each and got stuck with the stupid public defender who couldn't even recall her clients names. I filed 3 complaints with offices of public defender in state capital trying get new lawyer they didn't give shit about me and I'm white why ppl making big deal because they black shit look at oj he got off with killing people he was black

[ConsciousL]

You said you were facing 4 felonies, 5 years each. I just want to to know, what was the final verdict?

[RamblingRickyRhodes]

You are right concious about personal responsibility, but I think xplicit is questioning why they waste energy on violent criminals when there are plenty of real victims out there and real cases of injustice that they should be focusing on.

[solitary2911]

Racism feels the same for white people as it does for black people.

Only if if the majority of white and black people are united and on the same team can anyone try to make a difference.

A song from both sides doesnt particularly need examples in, just things about hate and why, why shouldnt there be and any of these thoughts but balance it.

Ill keep in touch, i believe you mean well.

[solitary2911]

Part 2 ---no one will take it seriously if you cant show the same thought and perspective you do for black people if you don't also do it for white, in the same song would work well.

I do have a story i could tell you actually but ill do that via a message not comment.

[solitary2911]

Part 1 ---You know, i thought you were going to be a pretty cool artist but you aint, all you do is go on about white on black and piss me off.

There's as much racism thrown at us and there's no need for it.

Were the new generation, we are not responsible for the past.

Racism will always exist because people like you hold grudges and grudges cause problems.

ok this is what i wanna know from any body that wants to answer black or white or whatever race why is this case so diffrent and what i mean is why is this case being charged as att murder but in other schools when a fight happens kids get suspended people in highschool get jumped all the time and all i heard that happend to them was they were suspended or throwed out why is this case difrent its not fair i dont think

[RamblingRickyRhodes]

What does it have to do? You do realize Mychal Bell is the guy people are tryiong to portray as an innocent kid caught up in the system? He is the ONLY one of the group to be a minor when the crime was committed and who was intially tried as an adult. Who he is and the crimes he has committed are very relevant. And he;s committed far more than that. He has been let off time and time again. People WANTED him to make it as a football star, and he has no one to blame for squandering it but himself.
