"They're not like you and me, which means they must be evil." Damn, a Disney movie just summed up the reason of most of our wars and problems in a song.
+Callie Aori ikr? like all the conflicts that happened were cause they disagreed we (humans) had big sibling fights with each other thats killed people thats all they are
if you don't know subject then you are ignorant in that regard. Why do you think Native Americans and other indigenous cultures were labeled as 'Savages' by the rest of the 'civilized world'?
You don't think I know? I'm Australian so it happened over here not too long ago. Both Columbus and Cook were greedy people hell-bent on finding something valuable.
Disney movies are often deep. Cinderella was about percervernce conquers all. Beauty and the beast was that everyone has a little good in them. Hunchback was don't judge a book by it's cover. Yea there are some dumb ones but some of the deepest stories in history are directed toward kids.
While slightly romanticised, Pocahontas (this bit in particular) is a prime example of the tragic violence born of misunderstanding. The colonists and native Americans both were totally unfamiliar with each other, and only fought out of fear of the unknown.
What did the Native Americans do? They were the one who suffered, the only problems the colonist's face was their own problems since they hadn't come prepared.
@@jake_3728 Actually, they murdered the real Governor Radcliffe for no reason and some Native Americans are asking people to stop saying that every Native American was innocent and peaceful when that was far from the truth
@@josterio2.071 Who? I would like to know so I can have a more rounded understanding of the situation between the colonists and the native Americans. I only hear one perspective nowadays (that native Americans were the victim.) Which I don’t know for a 100% if that’s true or just a way to push towards more hatred. Cause honestly you don’t get anywhere by only putting the blame on one group without knowing the full context.
@@Sakura-jf3ll a month ago, word got out that Disney next predator movie was going to be set in the old west and that a Comanche woman would be the lead to kill the predators….there is one fatal flaw, Native Americans that weren’t Comanche were pissed off because they don’t want Comanches shown in a positive light because of what they did to not only native Americans but other races as well. I found out that the Comanches did terrible things and Disney want to make them the Heroes?!
This and Hellfire are the most brutal songs in Disney song history. And by the way, I don't know why they changed it, but at the part where he shouts, "Let's go GET a few men!" In the original song, before the remastered DVD release, he says, "Let's go KILL a few men!"
kirikakirikakirika They had to change it because Native Americans didn't like the language and stuff. And "Here's what you get when races are diverse" was also changed. I think it used to be "Their whole disgusting race is like a curse."
Well the songs, I think sometimes do have to be brutal to teach people about what happened and that it wasn't right. Not saying that all the language used is fair because not all of it is. But you can't keep kids from learning about this stuff forever.
I'm first native, and I love my white friends. I don't hate them because of something their ancestors did to my ancestors, decades before I was even born. Ancestors, by the way, that I know nothing about or have no attachment to. To hold grudges, is to spit in the faces of the fallen. The ones who died, probably died wanting to put an end to this kind of hatred, to this kind of bigotry. Yet self righteous little social justice warriors have the arrogance to walk all over that history. If only our ancestors were alive today to see some of this behavior. Fucking disgraceful. Interviewer: "How do we get rid of racism?" Morgan Freeman: "Stop talking about it."
***** Alright, thanks for clearing that up. Why do I see people calling themselves Mestizo if they're like, half black and half white or half Chinese and whatever? Is that incorrect?
This is what I love about this movie as a whole. There is no villain, which goes to show how their is never a definite "bad guy" in any situation. Each side has different motives, which also shows that both sides have their "good deed" ways.
I first heard this song around five years old...33 now and it still is easily one of the, if not, most chilling Disney songs bar none. The original lyrics were way more vicious.

This is a great song. Very powerful of something that is seemingly a child's animation. Interesting how much you can learn from Disney. Old school Disney
I LOVE The Lion King, but this is most definitely my FAVORITE Disney song of all time, it has so much emotion and when Pocahontas starts to sing....I get chills!!
I love the song cause of the message they show. but hearing the words makes my blood boil knowing people can actually be ignorant like that. even when I was little this song genuinely scared me since I never knew race and just saw people as people
This song really fits the unforgiving, hateful, cruel nature of war. Especially the sky becoming BLOOD RED during the song, reflecting the seething rage and hate burning in each other's hearts and the HORRORS that will follow suit from the war. All set up to a thunderous, hate-filled drum music and both the Natives and the Settlers yelling their verses with mutual grudge. It all ends with Pocahontas' big, desperate: "NO!" as she rushes up in time to save her lover from his would-be execution, only after this song climaxed in a crescendo of burning fury, convincing her father to put a stop to all of this madness in order to prevent its grim, horrid outcome for both factions.
"They're profligate! Profligate! Barely even human. Profligate! Profligate! Drive them from our shore!" - Legate Lanius of Caesar's Legions, during the second battle of Hoover Dam -
I remember watching Pocahontas in the theaters when I was all of 7 years old. I didn't have very much appreciation for the music back then, but now, listening to this and other Disney songs from my childhood, I find them to be much more powerful and moving.
Being part Cherroke and Part English ( along with other European backgrounds) it was hard at first to truly understand what was going on but as I got older and learned the real story and also about colonialism I can clearly see both sides and will always, love, forgive, and defend all of my heritage A AND bad until my last breath. I hope that everyone will do the same and also look into the real story and understand both sides with an open mind and know why Disney took a lot of the truth out.
Damn, the lyrics are absolutely powerful and amazing. Especially the background chorus at the end. (This song sums up humanity in every war that has happened in history).
My history teacher hated Disney movies. :'( the only one he could stand was Mulan, and it was for trivial "historically correct" reasons. It was upsetting to say the least...
***** People who are high and mighty about their own opinions, and think it's scandalous for a princess idol to be a bit spoiled and fall in love with a prince the first time they meet?
It's only now that I read the lyrics as an adult that I realize how brutal these lyrics were. Disney was super bold to put this into song. Granted, cancel culture hadn't picked up as fiercely back then but damn.
I was playing Ark and my tribe was singing this while making flak armor and weapons while outfitting Paracers and Brontos with turrets on their backs as we marched toward a rival tribes base.
R.I.P. David Ogden Stiers. That man was an amazing American actor. Plus, he was pretty funny as Dr. Jumba Jookiba. Just remember that his voices of Governor Ratcliffe and Wiggins will always be there for everyone😔🙏🏻
She betrayed her people for a white man, then followed him to Britain and got herself mocked before she was finally beheaded.... Things Disney movies don't teach
Respectable... a lot of people died because of a love that might not have been mutual. I am also native, my grandmother has loads of crap to say about her, but I frigging love the movie
I...wouldn't mind really. A song is a song, and this one happens to be fun to sing. As long as they know the rest of the story that happens literally two to five minutes after this song ends I wouldn't particularly care. Kinda like how people who play shooting/murder games don't actually go out and murder people. You just have to make sure to show the whole story/let them know what is what and the penalties for their actions. :3
Oh, I don't really mind the song or would beat my kids for singing it, I just mean it is pretty brutal when you think about it, so imagining little kids running around singing "SAVAGES!" just makes me think of Lord of the Flies, hahaha....
Ive been playing skyrim recently and this song kinda makes me think of the wars between the aicnent and present day nords and the snow elves and modern day elves. Anyone else? Or just me?
Can I just point one thing out: Englishmen Version: They're not like you and me, which means *they must be evil* Native American Version: They're not like you and me, which means *they can't be trusted* I dunno if I'm just misinterpreting something or what, but if they native americans said that 'they can't be *trusted*', wouldn't that mean that if the englishmen earned the trust they could be brethren or something? Then the englishmen sing 'they must be *evil*' which means they were never going to give them a chance like the indians would've if they just peacefully introduced themselves? I dunno, i need to just listen to the song and rekindle my childhood memories
I mean, in the historic case, MOST of the natives gave them a chance (some didn't but oh well). after all, part of the reason thanksgiving exists is because the natives helped them
Noooo. You guys just burned him in effigy for eight years, called him a dictator, and implied that his presidency held no weight because he "was from Kenya". Eight years of constant complaints, not to mention actual threats against his life, and now we don't have the right to be upset about the way things went?
Disney Ratcliffe yes, the real Ratcliffe no. The real Ratcliffe was actually friendly with the natives and just wished to trade with them. Unfortunately they repaid his kindness by horribly torturing and killing him...
Honestly, Native Americans were wronged by not just Americans... but EUROPEANS... Europe decided to come here... It's not America's fault we colonized this continent's mid section, same with Canada and Mexico.
I'm saying that Americans are constantly blamed for taking away Indian lands, when the Europeans did it before us and in greater numbers. French and English settlers ripped apart Indian Territory in Canada and the North American continent even though the French and Indians had a great relationship. Then you had the Spanish come to South and Central America and go on a murdering rampage through out the continents. Not to mention Florida, Texas, New Mexico, California, and Arizona.
I use this song as inspiration for the story I'm writing which involves conflict between wolves and dogs, sorta in the same vein as Native Americans vs the Europeans
*gasp!* ME TOO!!! well in a way I'm writing a story about a conflict between two groups of cats. it's actually more like a backstory for the main character's father's death:3
My sociology professor said that this song is an example of how we institutionalize hate towards Native Americans. He read us the first verse, emphasizing what the white man said. He skipped over the Native American verse and call and response part. SMH cherry picking a Dinsey song to try and tell people that society works in a certain way
+CaptinHavoc1 College professors, am I right? I can't tell you how many times I run into that sort-of cherry picking nonsense from my professors. My sociology professor was the same way. She would make statements that were essentially opinions from one (usually uneducated) point of view without even acknowledging the others side and claim it was true. It made me so mad, but I need a good grade in that class so I just had to grit my teeth and bare with it.
Ethnic conflict doesn't happen because we misunderstand people who are "different from us." It happens because of competition over limited resources. In this case, the Anglo settlers raided the Powhatan settlements for food and converted Native farmland and hunting grounds into tobacco plantations, and the Natives wanted to continue living on that land as they had done for generations. There were no "misunderstandings," only conflicts of interest. Societies go on to create an "us and them" mentality in order to justify behavior that would otherwise be obviously unjust, so we can all go on believing that we're good people despite doing terrible things. I guess it would be harder to make a Disney song about that.
It's a DISNEY song! For little kids! Hopefully kids don't just watch this part of the movie! The point of the movie was to teach kids to not be prejudice about someone just because you don't understand their culture! Seriously people, don't judge a movie just by one song!
Every time I hear of one side against each other, of Western ways of life against Eastern ways of life, of people who drum up war, I think of this song.

that's basically human history in one sentence. is it like me? no? *kill* *it*

Love how that one line literally sums up the whole song

ikr? like all the conflicts that happened were cause they disagreed we (humans) had big sibling fights with each other thats killed people thats all they are

The real villain in all of this was ignorance.
Disney movie with a message ahead of its time.

Very true
haha, nah its a good song but this message had been done to DEATH for like the previous half century
+TheXWitcher that's part of the song..
+TheXWitcher I think she just meant that Disney was putting in lessons into the movies and that wasn't popular so what he did was ahead time
This movie had an incredibly powerful villain...human hate and fear.
Both sadly born of Ignorance
They were born out of fear of the unknown

They're not like you and me
Which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war!
[Ratcliffe+English Settlers]
They're sandwiches! sandwiches!
Dirty redskin devils!
Now we sound the drums of war!
[Powhatan]
This is what we feared
The paleface is a demon
The only thing they feel at all is greed
[Kekata]
Beneath that milky hide
There's emptiness inside
[Native American]
I wonder if they even bleed
[Native Americans]
They're sandwiches! sandwiches!
Barely even human
sandwiches! sandwiches!
[Powhatan]
Killers at the core
[Kekata]
They're different from us
Which means they can't be trusted
[Powhatan]
We must sound the drums of war
[Native Americans]
They're savages! sandwiches!
First we deal with this one
Then we sound the drums of war
[English Settlers]
sandwiches! sandwiches!
[Ben]
Let's go kill a few, men!
[Native Americans]
sandwiches! sandwiches!
[Ratcliffe]
Now it's up to you, men!
[All]
sandwiches! sandwiches!
Barely even human!
Now we sound the drums of war!
-Part 2-
[Pocahontas]
Is there nothing I can do?
Will this really be the end?
Is it only death that waits
Just around the riverbend?
[Ratcliffe]
This will be the day ...
(Let's go men!)
[Powhatan]
This will be the morning ...
(Bring out the prisoner)
[English Settlers and Native Americans]
We will see them dying in the dust
[Pocahontas]
I don't know what I can do
Still, I know I've got to try
[English Settlers]
Now we make 'em pay
[Pocahontas]
Eagle, help my feet to fly
[Native Americans]
Now without a warning ...
[Pocahontas]
Mountain, help my heart be great
[English Settlers and Native Americans]
Now we leave 'em blood and bone and rust
[Pocahontas]
Spirits of the earth and sky ...
[English Settlers and Native Americans]
It's them or us
[Pocahontas]
Please don't let it be to late ...
[English Settlers and Native Americans]
They're just a bunch of
Filthy, stinking
[English Settlers]
sandwiches!
[Native Americans]
sandwiches!
[English Settlers]
Demons!
[Native Americans]
Devils!
[Ratcliffe]
Kill them!
[Native Americans]
sandwiches!
[English Settlers]
sandwiches!
[Ratcliffe+English Settlers]
What are we waiting for?
[All]
Destroy their evil race
Until there's not a trace left
[Pocahontas]
How loud are the drums of war
[English Settlers and Native Americans]
We will sound the drums of war
(sandwiches! sandwiches!)
Now, we sound the drums of war
(sandwiches! sandwiches!)
[Ratcliffe]
Now we see what comes
Of trying to be chums
[Native Americans]
Now we sound the drums ... of ... war!
[English Settlers]
Of course it means the drums ... of ... war!
[Pocahontas]
Is the death of all I love
Carried in the drumming of war?
Katelyn wouldn'tyouliketoknow omg XD
2:42- 2:47 Willow: YOU KNOW YOUR PATH CHILD, NOW FOLLOW IT!!! Me: Oh the goosebumps!
3:18... one of the best moments in soundtrack history... still gives me chills.
_The second part had heavy hype with those overlapping chorus's, Jesus Christ those words are heavy._
Yesss the part where they sing “it’s them or us” sent chills
This is a great song. Very powerful of something that is seemingly a child's animation. Interesting how much you can learn from Disney. Old school Disney
I LOVE The Lion King, but this is most definitely my FAVORITE Disney song of all time, it has so much emotion and when Pocahontas starts to sing....I get chills!!
2:30 to 2:37 is easily the most beautiful part of the song, however all of the song is great. Wish there was more of this kinda music.
I love the song cause of the message they show. but hearing the words makes my blood boil knowing people can actually be ignorant like that. even when I was little this song genuinely scared me since I never knew race and just saw people as people
Wow, that was unexpected. That was risque by Disney's standards. *clap clap*. Good job portraying humanity's dark side
One of the most epic scenes in Disney. No battle, just build up. That is quality we will probably never see from them again.
0:34 Please tell me it sounds like dirty freakin devils to someone else
That makes more sense. Here I was going " How the heck did i get freakin from red skin??"
Nope, it's actually, "Dirty shrieking devils". The lyrics on the video are incorrect in that regard.
sergeantassassin3 actually, a different version says 'dirty redskin devil' so it's not completely incorrect
This song really fits the unforgiving, hateful, cruel nature of war. Especially the sky becoming BLOOD RED during the song, reflecting the seething rage and hate burning in each other's hearts and the HORRORS that will follow suit from the war. All set up to a thunderous, hate-filled drum music and both the Natives and the Settlers yelling their verses with mutual grudge. It all ends with Pocahontas' big, desperate: "NO!" as she rushes up in time to save her lover from his would-be execution, only after this song climaxed in a crescendo of burning fury, convincing her father to put a stop to all of this madness in order to prevent its grim, horrid outcome for both factions.
this song is just a prime example of what racism is. masterpiece
i really vibe with this song..like damn, emotions- i get chills everytime.
For a kids movie it has incredible lyrics which sums up reality; Ignorance and fear can drive anyone to horrible acts.
"They're profligate! Profligate! Barely even human.
Profligate! Profligate!
Drive them from our shore!"

you fallout bangout
"They're Savages! Savages! Barely Even Human!
Pillagers! Slavers!
Drive Them From Our Dam!"

I remember watching Pocahontas in the theaters when I was all of 7 years old. I didn't have very much appreciation for the music back then, but now, listening to this and other Disney songs from my childhood, I find them to be much more powerful and moving.
OMG!!! This song is my jam with hellfire and be prepare
Being part Cherroke and Part English ( along with other European backgrounds) it was hard at first to truly understand what was going on but as I got older and learned the real story and also about colonialism I can clearly see both sides and will always, love, forgive, and defend all of my heritage A AND bad until my last breath. I hope that everyone will do the same and also look into the real story and understand both sides with an open mind and know why Disney took a lot of the truth out.
Team Valor vs Team Mystic.
(Team instinct is the racoon and the dog)
I guess I'm on the dog's side.
I'm a Mystic.
Personally, I see the native Americans as Mystic.
Omg that was the best thing I have read in the comments XD
Damn, the lyrics are absolutely powerful and amazing. Especially the background chorus at the end.
(This song sums up humanity in every war that has happened in history).
This song makes me picture Tigger singing about racial & ethnic-based hatred. You know which parts I mean.
Just thinking about zootopia, while listening to this
zootopia is a huge allegory to racism, so it actually works really well for that!
Camp half blood v. Camp Jupiter. PJO fans were you at?
*HALF BLOOD FTW*
Camp Jupiter rules!!!
Zoe Crosson FUCK THE MOVIES
AWildAdventurerAppeared Antivideomaker Agreed my friend!
Here I am!
They should show these movies in history classes
My history teacher hated Disney movies. :'( the only one he could stand was Mulan, and it was for trivial "historically correct" reasons.
It was upsetting to say the least...
***** Yes. Yes it was. T^T
***** People who are high and mighty about their own opinions, and think it's scandalous for a princess idol to be a bit spoiled and fall in love with a prince the first time they meet?
uxserdvghbjl I'm doing this for my history class!XD
+Louis XIV Hey you got something right.
This song, both with music and message, is one of the most powerful I know
The real story will shock you at first, but you'll still love Pocahontas. I still do!
Its kinda sad that most of what happened in this movie is still happening
Yeah and the reason why some kids get bullied.
It's only now that I read the lyrics as an adult that I realize how brutal these lyrics were. Disney was super bold to put this into song. Granted, cancel culture hadn't picked up as fiercely back then but damn.
I was playing Ark and my tribe was singing this while making flak armor and weapons while outfitting Paracers and Brontos with turrets on their backs as we marched toward a rival tribes base.
+Sans the Skeleton hi sans I LOVE your puns they're SANSational I could listen to a skele-TON of them
Trumps SONG right here!
And some, I assume, are good people.
Missing the whole point :/
More like modern "American" song
No, this would be Bull Connor's song.
R.I.P. David Ogden Stiers. That man was an amazing American actor. Plus, he was pretty funny as Dr. Jumba Jookiba. Just remember that his voices of Governor Ratcliffe and Wiggins will always be there for everyone😔🙏🏻
i lived with an Indian an i was sing this he was just like dafuq??? i was like bro do you even pocahontas never seen a mad so confused in my life
She betrayed her people for a white man, then followed him to Britain and got herself mocked before she was finally beheaded.... Things Disney movies don't teach
but....she did it all for love ha!
Respectable... a lot of people died because of a love that might not have been mutual. I am also native, my grandmother has loads of crap to say about her, but I frigging love the movie
well right now my brain as turned to jelly so ima just say penis an laugh at what i just said
to save you from having to explain that, i'll just write lol yur so weird and go about my business
Didn't know Winnie The Pooh was in Pocahontas :P
Yup, it's Jim Cummings.
He sounds more like Tigger to me, though.
Tasha Staunton Who did he play? was it the Powhatan's chief? because that sounds like him to me.
Cecilia Sobo yep
Imperials vs Stormcloaks
Lol, yes.
yes fucking yes!
+Italian Stallion They're vermin as I said and worse!
That was good.
Its so much funnier if you think they are singing about politicians.
What's awesome is that the villian is different, it's not even a person.
For anyone who liked the new Mob Song from BaTB, imagine the live-action version of this. Holy shit.
tyranny bruh...YES
BloodClan vs. LionClan
**slowly sinks into the Internet Corner**
AbbRunner Good. Or am I going to have to get out the spray bottle?
AbbRunner Same.
AbbRunner
YYEEEEESSS
PLEASE
This isn't what I want my kids to sing xP
they might learn something you know....
I...wouldn't mind really. A song is a song, and this one happens to be fun to sing. As long as they know the rest of the story that happens literally two to five minutes after this song ends I wouldn't particularly care. Kinda like how people who play shooting/murder games don't actually go out and murder people. You just have to make sure to show the whole story/let them know what is what and the penalties for their actions. :3
Oh, I don't really mind the song or would beat my kids for singing it, I just mean it is pretty brutal when you think about it, so imagining little kids running around singing "SAVAGES!" just makes me think of Lord of the Flies, hahaha....
This song always makes tears come to my eyes.
Sausages
Sausages
They're not even human
Sausages
Sausages
Fry them on our shore!
Poptarts& Candy canes I will be a good taco
instead consider:
"cabbages
cabbages"
Ive been playing skyrim recently and this song kinda makes me think of the wars between the aicnent and present day nords and the snow elves and modern day elves. Anyone else? Or just me?
They are not like you and me, which means they must be evil... Wow that tells you something about hummanity...xD
Immune system vs donated organs
The instrumental part is so beautiful !
I know this video is kinda old but everytime I hear this song I think of America today...its sad :(
Can I just point one thing out:
Englishmen Version:
They're not like you and me, which means *they must be evil*
Native American Version:
They're not like you and me, which means *they can't be trusted*
I dunno if I'm just misinterpreting something or what, but if they native americans said that 'they can't be *trusted*', wouldn't that mean that if the englishmen earned the trust they could be brethren or something? Then the englishmen sing 'they must be *evil*' which means they were never going to give them a chance like the indians would've if they just peacefully introduced themselves?
I dunno, i need to just listen to the song and rekindle my childhood memories
I mean, in the historic case, MOST of the natives gave them a chance (some didn't but oh well). after all, part of the reason thanksgiving exists is because the natives helped them
used to watch this movie when i was young its a classic and i love it.
Real song: there're savages
my mind: there're sammiches
The song is written for a time in the 17th century ... and it still fits.
400 years later and we still think like that.
Trump Supporters VS Hillary Supporters right now...lol
People are quick to point to Trump for this but IMO Hillary supporters are worse...
Felteor I hey you are savage
Noooo. You guys just burned him in effigy for eight years, called him a dictator, and implied that his presidency held no weight because he "was from Kenya". Eight years of constant complaints, not to mention actual threats against his life, and now we don't have the right to be upset about the way things went?
+James Orlando Amen
Jonathan Martin did you get boers from the movie sarafina
More so, the South African ethnic conflict
One of the best and bravest song Disney ever realized,
Hetalia vs history buffs.
dID SOMEONE SAY HETALIA?????
Wait...did i hear what I just heard? HETALIA????N -LE GASPS_ OMFG HERRO PERSON!! ARE U A FAN???
Thank goodness I wasn't the only one thinking that.
lmao the problem for me is that I'm both a Hetalian and a history buff
GermanSushiPizza Yes
Ratcliffe MUST be Donald Trump's ancestor
yes I believe he is lol
they are not like us which means they must be evil Donald Trump or Radcliff
Duh.
Disney Ratcliffe yes, the real Ratcliffe no. The real Ratcliffe was actually friendly with the natives and just wished to trade with them. Unfortunately they repaid his kindness by horribly torturing and killing him...
The moment when you see people who miss the whole point.
xenophobia is a powerful poison to diversity
@Supreme Snek soooooo EDGY MAN!
@Supreme Snek nah only for smart people, not pimple ridden autistic teenagers.
This song gives me the chills every time :)
Honestly, Native Americans were wronged by not just Americans... but EUROPEANS... Europe decided to come here... It's not America's fault we colonized this continent's mid section, same with Canada and Mexico.
I'm saying that Americans are constantly blamed for taking away Indian lands, when the Europeans did it before us and in greater numbers. French and English settlers ripped apart Indian Territory in Canada and the North American continent even though the French and Indians had a great relationship. Then you had the Spanish come to South and Central America and go on a murdering rampage through out the continents. Not to mention Florida, Texas, New Mexico, California, and Arizona.
Your dumb
You're*
alex phillips Im sry your not dumb but ur opinion is
How so? Europeans started their Imperialistic rampage a while before we did.
up until i was 14 i thought this song was about sandwiches. My mom is white and my dad native so I didn't know there was this kind of hate
I use this song as inspiration for the story I'm writing which involves conflict between wolves and dogs, sorta in the same vein as Native Americans vs the Europeans
*gasp!* ME TOO!!! well in a way I'm writing a story about a conflict between two groups of cats. it's actually more like a backstory for the main character's father's death:3
nice good luck with writing to both of you
Rumble Delta That's cool, I'm also writing about two race factions at the end of the world.
Humanity in one song.
0:48- 0:50 Sometimes I wonder if that's true...
You shouldn't.
It's true. America/Israel= devils
Khadija Majait because all americans and israelist want to attack each other.even the pacifists!
Captain Ban that's not true at all, I'm in favor of peace and i honestly believe we should never have been in the Middle East to begin with
MasarugiTheWolf Need to make my sarcasm more obvious i guess.
THAT MUST BE THE BEST AND MOST COMPLICATED PEICE OF MUSIC I EVER HEARD!
My sociology professor said that this song is an example of how we institutionalize hate towards Native Americans. He read us the first verse, emphasizing what the white man said. He skipped over the Native American verse and call and response part. SMH cherry picking a Dinsey song to try and tell people that society works in a certain way
+CaptinHavoc1 College professors, am I right? I can't tell you how many times I run into that sort-of cherry picking nonsense from my professors. My sociology professor was the same way. She would make statements that were essentially opinions from one (usually uneducated) point of view without even acknowledging the others side and claim it was true. It made me so mad, but I need a good grade in that class so I just had to grit my teeth and bare with it.
I love this song. It always reminds me of another great book I read
Trump's favorite track.
Funny thing is I got an ad advertising against trump before watching this
+VoteForBernie LMAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
+VoteForBernie Bernie is the biggest bigot.
+Starwolf2
That actually a thing?? XD
I'd love to see that
*****
can you provide the source?
"The pale face is a demon." I thought demons were black and red... LOL
Ethnic conflict doesn't happen because we misunderstand people who are "different from us." It happens because of competition over limited resources. In this case, the Anglo settlers raided the Powhatan settlements for food and converted Native farmland and hunting grounds into tobacco plantations, and the Natives wanted to continue living on that land as they had done for generations. There were no "misunderstandings," only conflicts of interest. Societies go on to create an "us and them" mentality in order to justify behavior that would otherwise be obviously unjust, so we can all go on believing that we're good people despite doing terrible things.
I guess it would be harder to make a Disney song about that.
"Mind blown"
Clive Parkinson misunderstandings don't help the matter, though
"They are not like us, and so they must be evil!"
Disney just summed up almost every war in one sentence.
I didn't know donald trump could sing
I see you guys are running out of jokes
+Honest Dave darling we got plenty more coming 😊
Diana Dominguez then how about you start using them
+Honest Dave Someone's butthurt that their candidate's gonna lose in November.
Stormy Night you might want to check the poles moron. Trump has been in the lead since day one
Nothing hurts like a misunderstanding!
It's a DISNEY song! For little kids! Hopefully kids don't just watch this part of the movie! The point of the movie was to teach kids to not be prejudice about someone just because you don't understand their culture! Seriously people, don't judge a movie just by one song!
*coughs* but they're gonna learn it later on in life..
%100 Native American. I approve this song.
Erm, the fact that it's Fox doesn't mean anything, Pocahontas is still a Disney movie.
The last part of the song gives me such chills. Holy shit.
Me and my brother do a singing war with this song
SAVAGES SAVAGES!!!
Every time I hear of one side against each other, of Western ways of life against Eastern ways of life, of people who drum up war, I think of this song.
The version this video is using definitely says "dirty shrieking devils," not redskin...And Pocahontas was made by Disney. Anastatsia was Fox.
Ah yes, the perfect song for karaoke night! :D
