Irrelephant 4,710 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 is the previous youtube back? The backlash is kinda funny. It seems that people who feel insulted by this are reacting in a way that is the same as how they think the poem behaves towards them: a separation between /you/ and /us/. When using the defense "well, white people have no rights too," I think that they're missing the point in the end expressing that inequities exist only because American society continues to maintain boundaries between race, and everyone should just stop. In hindsight, most of us probably want that regardless of race, but we get all finicky over our disadvantages and whine over those instead. Poem has a few radical messages imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
