RE: I Hate Religion But I Love Jesus

The Video I'm responding to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IAhDGYlpqY

A better poetic response than mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1Q5pL1RjeM

A response to it that doesn't rhyme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBo7Z_abiLE

I think his poem is getting a lot of popularity and is being so well received because it gets casual Christians giddy, and even many non-believers like the idea that it's in some ambigious ways critical of religion. The production value is also fairly high, but let's face it- bullshit is bullshit.

More White People Need to Rap!! They have a more inherent respect for the English Language. Eminem is the Greatest Rapper and that's the opinion of a black rapper.

[GrapplingIgnorance]

@DaBossOfDaGame I have to disagree that by mere virtue of skin color one has a greater respect for the English language. I know FAR to many exceptions to both side of that rule to give it any credence.

[DaBossOfDaGame]

@GrapplingIgnorance Key word is "exceptions". If they are in fact exceptions, my generalization is valid. Sure my best English School teacher was black. I have a rather extensive vocab my self. But white people pronounce each letter in the word along with using more words period. and if you deny that, you deny fact. Also, you can't deny that Em is the best lyricist mainstream rap has ever encountered

[GrapplingIgnorance]

@DaBossOfDaGame Your generalization is absurd, not only in the sense that many black people DO speak well in terms of their command and pronunciation AND in the sense that many of white people have brutal vocabularies with heavy drawls, or surfer dialect etc. If what you mean to say is that educated people who speak clear standard English should rap more, and a large number of such people not rapping are white, that's fine. As for if Em is the "best" that's entirely subjective.

@GrapplingIgnorance Dude. I totally understand where your coming from. And I also appreciate how noble you are. But you have to be living under a rock not to see that what I'm saying has truth to it. I was raised in and around the Ghetto. In my old neighborhood, You are frowned down upon and harshly ridiculed for being smart. This happens at several dominantly black schools. The street mentality teaches that school is for lames, squares, etc. Explain.......

[GrapplingIgnorance]

@DaBossOfDaGame I too grew up in a poor, urban area, and can directly relate to the problems that you're talking about. The problem is cultural, and not relegated to skin color exclusively. That is why I made this video.

@TheShaitanjr I'd rather not.

@loveyourself333 Perhaps you haven't been paying attention, but your Christian bible also condemns anyone to death if they: believe in a different god, believe in no gods, worship a false god, blaspheme your god, work on the Sabbath, have sex in a way your God doesn't approve of, have sex with a gender your god doesn't approve of, curse/backtalk their parents, make fun of a man for being bald... oh- it seems there's not enough room to list all the kinds of people your religion's against.
