Now that I think about it "ebony and ivory" is practically the same song lyrically







:leostare:

I think there are more "hot button" issues in Brad's song.


On a side not Stevie Wonder looks awful for his age.

Do you think he was trying to appeal to their humanity?
Or was this about marketing himself?


Is LL a good person?

Can't say much about the song because it sucks too bad for me to really pay attention to.

However I would have a couple questions for American brehs: is the confederate flag "racist" IN ITSELF to you guys, I mean is it basically the equivalent of a nazi flag or something? Can a White Southerner be proud of being from the South (just like some Black Americans -if I go by what some rappers say- are proud of being from the South...or just like people all over the world happen to be proud from where they're from) or is it also suspect to you?

Speaking for myself, the flag is racist in itself. No matter how much people like to try to revise history to make the rebel Southern states' cause sound more more noble, the primary reason they revolted was to keep blacks enslaved. And the Stars and Bars was the banner they eventually chose. As far as I'm concerned, it's really no better than a Nazi flag to me.

I've no problem with someone being proud of being from the South, but it seems pride for White Southerners means repping that flag and considering what that flag represents, it makes me wonder about their racial views in general.

Man I think that both of them are acknowledging the stereotypes and tensions that blacks and whites have for each other. I live in south Florida and low key racism is always there. Obviously, not every white dude is a confederate flag waving, cowboy hat wearing, hill billy. Just like every black dude down here isn't walking around with a do-rag, gang bangin, and wearing gold teeth/dreds. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. :manny:

I dont think LL was c00nin necessarily, I thought the purpose of the song was to point out some obvious stereotypes and acknowledge that not every cac with a cowboy hat is racist and that not every black dude with a wave cap on is going to rob you.


Edit: I just re-listened to LL's verse...This nicca was basically beggin to hang with white ppl....."I wanna sit down with you and have a beer...But I that red flag and I think that you dont want me near" :snoop: ok there is some c00nin going on there my bad

this nikka LL said RIP Robert E Lee :heh: what part of the game is that?

CAC's need to understand that they don't get to say "I love my heritage" no more than Germans can say they "love the Nazis" or no more than Muslims can outwardly support the Taliban or Bin Laden.

History has judged you a loser both actually and morally. You don't get to re-write history.

Fair enough, but aren't there SOME black people repping the flag too? (I might be mistaken tho).

So you'd be cool with a white dude saying he's proud of being from the South, but does NOT rep the confederate flag? Or maybe is repping his state's flag?

I'm having a really difficult time relating to the song and message.



Should I feel bad for southerners? Are white southern males misunderstood? Is the Confederate Flag endearing to you?
"They suffered through reconstruction". "They're still sifting through the rubble, after one hundred and fifty years".


Should we let bygones be bygones?

LL should add an infinite number of Ls to his name. The song is a disgrace on every possible level.

Wait what? Now only black people are allowed to love their heritage? Are you basically saying that there's nothing more to "white" history than Nazis and confederate flags? :wtf:

Plus who is this "history" that has judged white people "losers", who won then?

I'm talking about the part of their heritage that includes the confederate flag and being a rebel. That's the heritage discussed in the song. That heritage is tainted, rightfully so, and you don't get to ignore or re-write the reason why.
