This one is better:
He signed the damn law, no? The very fact that he signed the law would imply that his personal feelings were of less import than the party's platform.You mean Lyndon B. Johnson the racist? I notice you don't want to talk about the actual names and positions of the people involved, just keep repeating "Democrat" and take all the credit.
You've completely changed the subject here. What you are saying here is not what the other poster said. That is a cheap debate tactic, where you have no support, so you change the topic to something you think you have more to say about.
He said Jim Crow does not affect somebody born in 1983. If you were born in 1983, there's a chance your own parents were born into Jim Crow, and it's a certainty that your grandparents lived in Jim Crow.
How in the hell could you make any reasonable argument that your parents and grandparents' lives do not have an effect on yours? It's ignorant, it's stupid, it's dismissive, and people need to stop being so proudly stupid because it's embarrassing.
I was born in 1986, and my grandparents were born in the 1920s. Yes, their lives directly effected mine.
Which artists/videos are you referring to?It's just another criticism of America song that has become an extremely trendy thing to do over the last couple of years. Is there an artist who does not have a song and video like this? These weekly videos always labeled as "brilliant" and "important" by the media are cliche and boring. I am waiting for this fad to end.
The memes that have come from the video are much more interesting than the song itself.
Anyway, the rest of your post sucks.
Which artists/videos are you referring to?
It is extremely fashionable to pretend to be an activist at the moment and every artist and musician seems to be jumping on the fad. BillBoard.com featured an article on the top 20 Protest songs of 2017 and I am sure we will see a similar article at the end of this year.
If we're seeing a rash of more-serious art, that's not a bad thing (not that I object to lighter stuff). Obviously this one is getting way more attention than others for a reason.
I would not call what we are seeing as more serious art. It is opportunists putting a "woke" song on an album full of bling and booty lyrics in an attempt to jump on a fad and make more money. These songs are about as serious as the Jenner Kendall Pepsi commercial. It all comes down to marketing and selling a product.
Glad to hear you aren't being affected.
Most minorities in the USA and Canada are still very much affected by racism.
Surely you can see a difference between that video and the commercial, can't you?
No, I do not see a difference.
Which is it, is America a racist wasteland where people of different races are incapable of living together so much that minorites are actively affected, or is multiculturalism a success and we should strive for more diversity?
Except this is America isn't an Anti-trump protest song.I just posted an article (#127) from Billboard.com featuring the best Prote$t $ongs of 2017.
Here is another article from Rolling Stone:
13 Great Anti-Trump Protest Songs

Multiculturalism is great. Its the best part of where live (Toronto).
Still tons of racism that needs to be exposed and rooted out though.
I'm also in Toronto and I very much disagree that the majority of minorites here are affected in any significant way by virtue of they're ethnicity.
