He lost point I feel with a lot of people when he said in order for racism to die black people need to reach out our hands in love to white people (really?!?). We did that and MLK was shot in the face for it....I'm good and done.

Olaorun67 well you have to keep in mind that although we have been oppressed by these people for years alot of their children want to change. I've seen prejudice against white people from some of my brothers and sisters and it bothers me. We can never truly have peace if we do not make this a team effort. When we falsely accuse people of being racist because other people of their race are racist we are showing prejudice towards them and distancing ourselves from them. We need to all understand that some white people want change. Of course there are those who don't and we can have a field day on them.

@@jjanon2371 You know, I hate to be that guy, especially because is a good documentary that help a lot of people, you included. But it's a documentary that speaks about a problem of the USA, and many countries doesn't have those issues; having anothers. For example, until a wave of haitians inmigrants, in my country, Chile, there were almost none afroamerican, and all racist problem was about europeans, indian y mestice descendents, but actually people use words as blacks or nigga whit indians, even if their skin was much whiter than an actual afroamerican. So, why did that happens? Well, most culture were movies, tv shows, books, etc. From the USA, and people replace the racist issue for the US racism even if it was much different. So, what I'm trying to say is that USA use to think their issues are the ounly world issues, but no; and makes a lot of damage when an issue became invisible and replaced for an USA one that actually didn't happen in the local country

Kirk Wood my comment came after knowing about Common sense the 90's. seems that he have been able to drop a hit on every album, but the rest of what he dropped was his way of expessing his love for hiphop. There are artist who enjoy Hiphop not because they are being heard on the radio.. we know who directs the programing for radio. Again.. I have a new found respect for Common because I know that he is truly conscious of the music he is making.. its not necessarily for the radio.

@karadrine 4 жыл бұрын

@@PN5758 There's a whole lot to it. Reagan's policies basically started up the Prison Industrial Complex, making it profitable for the private sector to mass incarcerate the people. This lended itself toward police putting people in jail for any reason they could find, and since the poor can't afford bail, they just sit in prison until they get a trial, or don't, and it has stayed that way since. With the history of America up to that point, only very, very few African Americans had any chance of staying OUT of prison, 'criminal' or not (refer to Kalief Browder's case, Exonerated Five/Central Park Jogger case). Now, regarding the Trump situation, well, America's policies were/are trending towards more assistance/reform for the Justice system, however looking at, again, the history of the Justice system and every single time that's been reformed, it's only expected that Trump is just going to reshape it the same way it's always been reshaped, subtly veiled racism and oppression for anyone that isn't white. Keep in mind, Trump also very famously put out an ad asking for the death penalty for the teenagers who were imprisoned on false charges in the Central Park Jogger case for literally no reason other than to play on the fear of the public.

Thank you. These lyrics capture so much... so many lives lost to racism; lost to mass incarceration; and, lost in ignorance. My heart is so full of sadness, to have lived 'through it' - my Black American experience - to have known its painful influence, much more intensely doled out over the lives of my forebearers, their forebearers and their ancestors, too. Yet, I'm also an expanded vessel; one with a depth that no earth-bound person can reach, possessed of a capacity that draws from those very same forebearers' spirit. "Freedom, freedom come..." I'm holding on with all that I have left. Please don't be long.

Greetings Mr. Common, My name is Elijah Mason and I am 19 years old. Currently I am residing in a shelter, The Covenant House, due to egregious circumstances. Previously, I stayed with my parents until a situation occurred with my father and I ending with him aiming a knife towards my face, my second near death experience since birth. By the grace of God not a bone in my body was damaged, but before I lived with my parents, I stayed with my grandmother from age 2 to age 18. The reason for me having to leave her home was because I was not taking care of my business while I was in school and we were having arguments back and forth about my lack of action towards my education while I was in college. I dropped out early in the year of 2017. Most of my life, I have had anxiety issues which caused me to stray away from classes, depending on the class size and space of classroom, for a certain amount of time until I had the courage to actually walk in the room. It also caused me to feel introverted to the point where I stayed to myself, especially now that I have something to be publicly humiliated about physically, which is something I can tell you in person, and it is really a good thing because I feel more compelled to work towards my craft. I have also suffered from lack of concentration, sexual immorality since childhood, which almost led me on a path to hell until God saved me and gave me a vision, anger issues since high school, and gluttony where I have had an addiction to food since childhood, which again by the grace of God, I am still healthy. Although I still need push and guidance towards being effective, my lack of concentration has not improved all the way, but it will. I am writing this letter to inform you about what I have planned for my future and to see if you could be of some guidance into being a business mentor to me, investing in me business, or even knowing somebody that could mentor or invest, but mostly mentor because I know I have the potential to be the most knowledgeable businessman that ever lived. My startup idea includes having a venue franchise with events and other types of affairs centered around entertainment and technology, since entertainment will always be in demand and technology is the future. I am grateful to God that he is on the verge of using me in an immense way for the bible says, "And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." In conclusion, I am in desperate need of your help and I pray that you will read this letter and assist me, or even if you know someone that could partner with you in helping would be a blessing. I ask that you please not message me back by email because of our lack of computer time, but if you are encouraged, please contact me at the shelter number, 313-463-2500. God Bless.

People always ask: Whats wrong with society. The answer lies in the numbers of people consuming ignorance versus people consuming greatness such as this. How does the "cash me outside girl" have 12 million views in 3 days, and this piece of art only have 500k views since December???!! Ignorance is bliss.

I watched the movie "13" last night and was enthralled. Really good documentary and this song set it off.

Powerful lyrics and visuals represented in this video. Lyrics represent a strong cry for freedom amongst the black community. I often wonder when will us black folks as a whole break loose from the chains of slavery.

This is probably the most powerful, beautiful, and important song that I've ever heard. I look forward to diving into more of Common and Bilal's music, as well as other recommended artists. These lyrics blew me away and the construction of the song is amazing. I've seen 13th countless times (I'm a sociology major with a focus in social problems) but every time I watch it, I make new connections. Both the song and documentary are tremendous works of art that speak volumes about the social problems persisting in the U.S., and the systemic and institutional racism that has produced and reproduced inequality. #BlackLivesMatter #SayHerName

I can't understand how this isn't one of the greatests songs in this era, those fucking lyrics, Common has his mind on the right place, he is conscious and aware of everything, he cares. Thank you for the message.
