1:05 Ronald Reagan declared ketchup a vegetable. Why? So when the law required school lunches to at least include one vegetable, the United States government didn't have to spend more money on schools that way.

"We brag on having bread, but none of us are bakers; we all talk having greens, but none of us own acres" This line used to come off like something an oldhead would say just to be anti-youth, but as I've learned more, I now recognize this as the vital component which it is. In fact, I'd say the _core_ component in many senses.

@@ScavengerKing As far as Africa is concerned, our influence is not what caused the problems. 200 years of British colonialism, followed by disastrous post-colonial borders, followed by a continued dependency on the commonwealth, as well as massive French interference in the former northern colonies. The next big player in Africa is probably China, who will continue the same game. As far as the US is concerned, our influence in Africa pales in comparison to France and Britain. America's stomping ground is Latin America, and while not great, it's much much better than the slave-like labor you find in the Congo. The US economy isn't even reliant on Congo slavery. Our primary economic base is Energy export (Oil and Gas extraction, done here), Media (Tech, Film and TV, all American companies), and Agriculture (all done in the country). The blood diamond cartels are not a huge part of the economy. If they were all declared illegal tomorrow, the economy would be fine.

What makes you say : " If they were serious, they'd give everything they have to the poorest of the poor, and move to Russia to share crop potatoes. " ? What part of the song makes you think that they are calling for this? I'm really curious. The song is in 3 parts: -Criticism of the black American sub-culture. -Criticism of the rap industry -Criticism of the U.S. government/Reagan At what point in the song does he criticize capitalism?

To be clear it seems like what Mike's trying to say is that you shouldn't be distracted by all the fancy window dressing of modern society, because at the end of the day what really matters is the essentials: food, water, shelter, resources, goods; because these are the things needed to sustain human life. True power comes from controlling these things, because that means you control life.

Yes it’s true, But the way in which African countries torture minorities (albinos, white farmers in south africa, blacks in Libya ) remains shocking.

DISCLAIMER - THIS IS ONLY AN OPINION The difference i feel is the beat, "Reagan" is not the usual mainstream sound which is kinda obvious because it was produced by EL-P(who in my opinion, is the king of weird, sci-fi and experimental alternative hip hop beats), this in particular is has a mean, dark and evil vibe. "This is America" is more of a fusion alternating between african folk and trap music, the folk introduction had a happy vibe and the transition into the trap was sudden and ment to be shocking. The only reason why i feel "This is America" is below "Reagan" in terms of the actual beat is because of the trap bit. Critics say it was menacing, i say it is just a bland excuse to cash on that mainstream appeal of trap 808s and adlibs, contributed by blocboy jb, Slxm Jxmmy of rae sremmurd, young thug, and quavo(if i remember correctly), this makes even more mainstream.

The reality is systemic racism preventing blacks and minorities from having access to loans, their GI bills, red lining and person to perosn racism is the reason blacks are in gangs. If you strip people of legal means of a massing wealth, peoviding meaningful work or status within a society, they find their own ways to do that. Even now rap does not create the realities of gangs and violence. Those have been constants long before rap came around. Rap tells the story, and some it is glorified. But a lot of is a warning.

John Peric Yeah, you are totally fuckin wrong. Blacks were being red lined into ghettos by racist banks and city planners, there was a systematic campaign to keep blacks snd nvm other ninorities out of white communities. The development of white houseing covenants to keep blacks out of new housing tracts, the banks wouldnt let blacks take loans to build or repsir their homrs even in the redline district which is what white were being offered to build ewuity and wealth in their families. This institutionalized racism went all the way to the top with state supreme courts ruling that white only housing covenants were legal. Even Blsck WW2 veterans werent being allowed access to home loans , god damn war heroes of the ww2 were being denied housing loans because they were black. This even extended to people who were trying to build their own housing tracts, they'd have their own land and pernits ready to build their own communities but they coulsnt. It is this systematic and intentional with holdings plus segregation that can be sttributed to the economic situation of blacks snd minorities. they were intentional held down, intentional kept from having housing, educstion, meaningful labors and excluded fromall the ways in whicb people build wealth, capital and equity. This is what led to the formation of ghettos and gangs, this is why people of color are trapped. because 100 years after slavery blacks and minoritites still do not have equal access to resources, education and jobs. gangs formed as a way to find a create economic opportunities in communities that were robbed of them. So fuck off with your sycophantic white-washed view of your countries relationship with black and other minority groups. White people and racism have ALWAYS been at the core of the destruction of minority groups. and i will continue to handle well documented history over to you internet arm chair scholars. stop spreading lies and go ask ur white grandad what he thought of blacks or if it would have been ok of a wealth black fsmily moved next door.
