Hey Everyone! Thanks so much for all your viewings and comments! Just wanted to clear up one thing- neither I nor this video are racist. Each person should figure out what the song and video mean for themselves, but please dig deeper in your reflections- there's a lot going on out there in the world.

"There's a war going on for your mind. If you are thinking, you are winning." --Flobots

Lol I remember singing this as a kid like its a really light hearted song. but now when i watch it seems so dark and meaningful

[shanaynay valasquez]

theres so much meaning in this song

[doppelgangerx4]

I like the new video but this one is way more powerful. The new one's just a shallow cartoon about the corporate/anarchist-punk divide; this one explores the song's deeper message about how dangerous it is when a culture makes heroes out of risk-takers.

I have opened my eyes now......WHAT IN THE WORLD HAS THE WORLD COME TO?!

[JBGargamel]

It's about the government ONLY trying to steal your individuality. It's one of the many reasons I will Never vote liberal. The democratic party are modern slavers but for some reason they get the minority vote. Lincoln and Martin Luther King were both Republicans for a reason. But whatever, the takers now outnumber the providers, the country will collapse in 20 years no matter what nbow. Obama made sure of it.

Because the goverment is corput just as the kkk they never where put here to help they dont care only about money and power the goverment is our problem

[DrakeFlyLon]

Because the KKK causes issues? Sorry, I'm not the most educated about the KKK in modern, but don't see, why they shouldn't do anything. :P

[commonrebellion]

it's like, we as humans have done and are still able to do so much; atom bombs, put people in prison, lead a nation, etc. etc. and it's like our environment and our reaction to our environment leads us to a path of change, destructive in nature, or otherwise

[xXMrOctagonopusXx]

Why would the government do anything about the KKK anyways?

[BAKEME AFUGINcake]

GOD NO!!!

[Survivor783]

Why isn't the government doing anything about kkk?

[kamil wrobel]
