      I think it’s good as it is. It’s meaningful and doesn’t needed to be replicated in my opinion. But definitely more songs on the topic would be something I wanna see.

    This song is the best, literally. It’s like he encapsulated American racial tension and put it honestly in two peoples shoes.

The song also takes accountability for both sides. Joyner really outdid himself here.

      It's more nuanced than that, of course, but on a really basic level you're just wrong.
      There is an inborn moral compass - it isn't all nature or all nurture. And that makes complete sense, just in an evolutionary sense.
      Good and evil may or may not be "just" human conceptions, I won't claim one or the other as truth, but it's either dishonest or naive to suggest that they don't exist. They certainly do, as ideas, or we wouldn't be talking about it in the first place.
      All or nothing approaches to complex and nuanced issues are silly. You're making a very extraordinary claim and presenting a self-assured veneer as if you know the truth. People have argued these things for thousands of years and we will likely continue arguing these things for thousands more. A little humility wouldn't kill you; you don't have all the answers.

      It explains the whole problem that’s been going on for hundreds of years. Especially in the early/mid 1900s. Racism and division between both Black and White people isn’t necessarily a skin colour issue it’s a mindset issue. Racist people exist because of past issues between races and because they held onto that and spread their toxic point of view and infected other people. All people despite origin deserve love and peace, we should all get on and not see colour because deep down we’re all the same, we’re all human after all and at the end of the day skin colour/appearance doesn’t matter it’s who you are who determines who you are. Spread love not hate. And this is from the perspective of a white person. I mean sure I may have been “racist” in the past (when I was a kid) I thought it was strange that other people have different skin colour and then I learned that it wasn’t strange and that it was a normal part of humanity. But I guess we were all kind of like that as a kid because we were naive and hadn’t really seen the world.

Whites and blacks spend so much time hating each other and killing each other that there's almost no understanding at all. But then when we try to understand each other, we also fight that shit "Trying to steal black culture", "Paying my taxes for your food stamps".... so there's a misunderstanding and we do it to each other.

So I have had a unique view of the racial issue(s) in this country. I have worked with people for years and as soon as they learn that my oldest son is “black” you can see the thought process with them realizing all the racist things they have said to or around me or they will actually change the way they interact with me! The sad part is, some people don’t even know that they are racist, they actually think their attitude is great, I have to explain to them why their point of view is the “racism” that is the problem. The racism the kkk burdens humanity with is easy to defeat, but the racism that most people have is hard to overcome. When people see a black man, not just a man, like every other man, that is hard to counteract. When people are so blind to the truth they say that “there isn’t disadvantages facing minorities today, they have the same, if not more, opportunity than anyone!”, it drives me crazy. Until white people in America can see people for who they are and not the color of their skin, nothing is going to change. Until people see a person, not a black or brown or white person but a person, that day will be a great day. I hope I am still around to witness it,.......peace be with you all.

      Edit: I listen to both and your right. "RVE" and "SBTWM" are both really good, but I'm gonna have to listen to RVE again. I didn't catch the meaning, but I did catch the meaning SBTWM. When I get older, I'm gonna have my kids listen to this, I don't want them to grow up with hatred. I thank you for telling me about these masterpieces, you've given me a new perspective. 💯

    Uncomfortable, yes.
    Mind opening, indeed.
    This is THE conversation that needs to happen on a mass scale so we can truly unite. Untie as brothers and sisters, as Americans, or simply because we are ALL humans. Ive lived both sides of this story and i will fight for everyone!

    "My grandmother was a slave"
    *Is 32*
    *Slavery ended 1865*
    123 years for only 2 generations, both grandmother and mother 61 when they had kids
    OR
    Assume BOTH his grandmother and mother had children at the age of 32
    Slavery existed in 1929?

      It's just flow. It's easy to pass it off as either Lucas keeping the flow going or the guy's POV being "grandmother" =/= great grandmother - etc. 🤷‍♂️

    I've watched this so many times and it still hits the same everytime!! It's all about understanding how history has put us into this position and to move forward as black and white people, this would relate to so many people(I'm from the UK) but it's not mainstream so doesn't get seen!! Poetic and honest song.

    I feel like the point of this song isn’t that we have to pick who we side with but rather that we shouldn’t have to pick sides we should take the time to understand All peoples stories and where they come from so that we can come to accept and love each other despite our skin colours, beliefs or up bringing cuz it’s not hard to see there is racism in our world and I’ll admit that as racism is more widely seen and people want to make a big changes to get rid of it there are those who understand that we can work together to change this world and those use the fight against racism to push there own agenda calling all white people or cops racist because they did something they don’t agree with. The fight against racism is about changing our world and helping everyone not making all white people look bad you see at the end of the day we’re no different ya sure your skin might be a little bit darker then mine and your conditions in life might be worse then mine because some asshole decided your to black to work for him but he ain’t like that because he hates you he’s like it because of this world he was raised into and things his parents told him to believe but that don’t mean he deserves to be beat or killed or shamed by the internet it just means he needs someone who can show him there side of the story and help him understand that there is no difference between you and him besides pigment and the life you were raised in and well you can’t change the colour of your skin you can try and change the minds of those who were raised to only see the colour of your skin

      that is the exact opposite of what "minorities" are demanding. First thing is that all non whites see race as essential to who they are. They care about their race, not equality per se. They advocate for their race when it suits them. Many minorities are demanding special treatment via affirmative action, relief funds, preference for covid treatments, reparations, and access to white countries. Whites dont get to have a border or a home country. Look at south africa for the future of whites in a non white country.
