Anti-Flag - Racists (Lyric Video)

[@michaelsulkowski9182]

This song is accurate and direct. No words are wasted. And here we are--many comments below validate every lyric. If you're bothered by the song, I would bet my pension on the likelihood that you're either racist, sexist, or fascist.

Opposing views always draw critizism from those who propagate falsehoods. Dems were southern and created Jim Crow laws in south. Learn some history!

[@Kobolds_in_a_trenchcoat]

@@carltonbaggett6083 history is great, I'm a grad student and, while many Democrats still have a horrible track record on race *cough* Biden *cough*, we don't live in 1940 anymore. There's a reason Republicans basically never win any voting block that isn't white. I'm a history grad student, I value history as much, if not more, than most, but it seems like a lot of Americans understanding of history ends in the 1950s. Maybe that's because it seems like most history classes blaze through the civil rights movement in a week or two at the most and present it as a very clear, very linear series of events with a clear beginning and end and maybe it's because most high school classes barely gloss over anything past the mid-1960s, but it really does seem like a lot of people see no history whatsoever after the 1960s.

@Clockwork King And who ever learns about The Korean War at all? You gotta realize, schools started pushing towards their current levels of indoctrination in the 1960’s. Maybe the 50’s. But there were definitely communist college professors as early as the 60’s. When you look at what history is taught and what isn’t, ask yourself who benefits from it being taught or not. We learn about fighting (actual) Nazis in WWII. And then one war against communism isn’t mentioned at all. Another is only mentioned because it caused so many problems in the US. And how much can the average person tell you about the Cold War. Most people are basically taught about two wars. The American Civil War, because, slavery. And WWII, because, Nazis. Now, all they gotta do is point a finger and say “racist!” or “fascist!” and a mob will swarm the person. But we aren’t taught about fighting for independence. Or about the imperialist wars (because Dems are still in favor of those-see Obama winning the Nobel Peace prize before his term he even started and then immediately dropping the bomb that he was sending 40,000 American soldiers to Syria). Or about the wars against communism. Back to today: we have Trump pushing for school choice. Democrats are very against that-why? Because it’s easier for them to control public education. Not to mention all the other things they hide by not teaching it. One example: The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was introduced by JFK. A higher proportion of Republicans in Congress (3/4) voted for it than Democrats (2/3). Yet, it’s taught as if it were all Lyndon Johnson and the Democrats doing. Why is that, you think? There is a reason Republicans haven’t won any voting block that isn’t white since the 1960’s. But it’s not because they’re racists or holding back minorities. It’s because the left and Democrats have, for a long time now, controlled the education system and the media, which means they’ve controlled the narrative. It’s how they can get away with actually being racists and doing far more harm to minorities than Republicans. Another example: now they are pushing this “Southern Strategy” where the parties flip-flopped because of the civil rights movement of the 60’s right? Well, if that’s the case, if all the racists switched sides, then why in the hell is the 2020 DEMOCRATIC presidential nominee a guy who voted for segregation way back when? It’s a myth. Of, by, and for the Democratic establishment.

[@gourdguru]

@@Cloudroth no. if you think anything about the US establishment is communist or even remotely left wing, you're ignorant of what those things are. we've been drifting rightward towards rampant runaway capitalist oligarchy and fascism for decades because the DNC has been running toward the right ever since Bill Clinton tried to "Win back the south" by running on watered down reagan rhetoric and policy and appealing to the wealthy donor class. as a result, the GOP pull right, and the DNC make no effort to pull in the opposite direction. they both ultimately serve the same masters, money and power, and as a result, they turn their back on the common folk in favor of appealing to the wealthy donor class, and take the advice of rich thinktanks with vested interest in screwing us all over as their source for "what the people need". which is essentially like asking a missile manufacturer for advice on avoiding war and maintaining peace, why would they want that? no war, no missile sales, no profit. if we were leaning in that socialist direction, we'd have real labor union support, socialized healthcare, etc., rather than killing the public perception of those kinds of policies during McCarthy's red scare.

It's not facts and truth, though. It's exactly the same ignorance they're decrying. Do they realize that the Confederate South was Democratic? Do they recognize that Black Lives Matter and the like are endorsing outright violence against those that don't share their political views, and those who _look like_ they don't share them? Do they understand that the fear of thug culture is not racism, because race and culture are two entirely separate things?

I also am a controversial guy so anti government bands come thick and fast. I even checked out Gareth Icke but I hate that slow rock crapola even if he has some message in his music. He is no Rage against the machine or Crass. He is no David Icke either 😂😂😂😂 I checked out Anti flag on Wikipedia and I noticed it said they do left wing activism which surprised me and immortal technique came to mind. Why they're anarchists by some definition, and presumed atheists or anti religious, I just knew left wing was a bad omen. I checked out a few of there songs which seemed okay nothing like "Die for your government" then I just found this. I'm completely disappointed 😞 but not surprised. 😅 It's showing strong support for Back Lives Matter (Pun) and is talking about how reverse racism isn't real. Any race can be racist even if black people wasn't really being racist. Reverse racism doesn't exist in a sense because it's a misnomer for only 2 races existing. It's basically the political penny. 2 sides to a story but pennies come in many values. What value is a life? These Guys are WOKE and it astonishing that these guys want no government but show support for political commune groups. I'm guessing they support PETA too. 😢 Try the RSPCA 🤷🏻‍♀️ no one cares about us Brits 🇬🇧 😢 The Confederate flag had 2 versions, one being a battle flag and actually existed way after the creation of America contrary to popular belief. I suggest these kid's go get an education. The facts do help! I suggest they go back to just hating the government itself rather than banishing Legendary soldiers. A brilliant soldier was interviewed in 1943 who was a Confederate and he wasn't racist and talked about how America really isn't free and talked about the old West. I suggest you start there. Right time for Isabel Brown to school these lil kids. P.s I do like the message of the song thou and besides supporting political clans I do feel you are right but don't bring trump into this or things you think contribute to the problem.

They’re punks, it’s anti-punk to be right wing. I don’t understand what you’re trying to argue about the two Confederate flags, they were obviously made after the US was founded. They teach that in schools. And if you want to look at how racist the Confederacy and it’s supporters are just look at the letters of secession or the letters written by Confederate soldiers to their family members during the war. They are not legendary, merely traitors attempting to uphold the morally disgusting institution of slavery. Neo-confeds are a bunch of fools that need to get over the fact that it was a failed state that lasted a short period of time. War’s been over for nearly 2 centuries and they can’t get over it.

It's amazing to me how bands, like this one, are used as tools for the American. UK and European regimes. Practically everything these bands create are in full alignment with the billionaire oligarch "philanthropists" class who advocate liberalism at the expense of culture to produce a nation of consumption from a nation of former production. When you realize that, ask yourself... are there actual counter culture bands in punk rock? I can name a few rock bands like Pantera that had the counter culture theme. Humans are hackable and programable through mass media, state and academia. It can be programmed to mass audiences that their cause is actually counter culture.

@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 when you are saying what exactly what all the Oligarchs and corporations have been virtue signaling, that's not anti establishment. Mussolini defined fascism as combining state power with private enterprise when he wrote an Op-Ed for the NYT in 1932. Face it, they are not saying anti establishment things, they are in lock step with the regime. When you have that unimpressive battle cry by green day "no kkk no fascist USA". does it not dawn on you that every single TV station, every single fortune 500 corporation and most regime reporters who constantly lie us into wars are saying the same thing? We are seeing this now with the past 10 years of hearing that Hitler was reincarnated to Putin and trump. What's with this globohomo combined US/UK/EU empire that assumes main stream opinions are somehow anti establishment? Face it, they swallow the seed of the oligarchy and pretend they are not whores for doing so.

[@erzsike7642]

Racism is also a hasbara concept, i.e. it is actually just a swearword, since there is no general agreement on its meaning. In fact, everyone understood it differently, the wikipedia article is controversial also, the content of which is maintained by the Jews from a position of power, even its discussion page was deleted so that its criticism would not appear, because its content cannot be defended during the rational discussion. Basically, however, it is used as an empty swearword, as part of communication warfare (hasbara). Examples of his interpretations: Zsolt Tyirityán is the leader of the outlaw army: The globalists are the biggest racists! Why? Because they want to destroy species, they want to destroy uniqueness by mixing them up! To me, racism means love of race! (Race is old here, not in its modern biological meaning. It can be used for breed, kind, ethnicity, population, nationality, race, and it is not incorrect!) We can see that Zsolt and some patriotic groups have a positive definition and interpretation of racism! Bulcsú Bánk Harkai: "A racist is someone who wants to disadvantage others on the basis of ethnicity. However, "advantage" causes disadvantage to others due to the common budget..." In this interpretation, however, we can see that although the interpretation is negative, those will be the they are racists who are used to racistizing others, since ethnically based natives can only be harmed if others are free to leave their country if they don't like something. So e.g. In Hungary, Hungarians cannot be racists, in contrast to Gypsies and Jews, Gypsies and Jews are racists, since they cause harm to Hungarians. Not the Hungarians, they live in the country of Gypsies and Jews, but the Gypsies and Jews in the country of Hungarians. If you go into someone's house or apartment and practice self-defense against him while you could leave freely, you can call it whatever you want, and you can label yourself with positive things, and you can label the owner of the house with negative ones , even then you will only be an aggressor, since self-defense can only be the right of the owner of the house. Hungarians have the same right to exist as a unique people, as e.g. for Jews and Gypsies. There is, of course, at the individual level, and not to be confused with the group level, the fact that someone has two identities, however, the other identity cannot be one that is weightless in the country in question, because there are few of that ethnicity and it is socially very weak, and does not know how to enforce their interests against the Hungarians. For example, someone can have Hungarian and Japanese identity, but not Hungarian and Jewish! Hungarian and Jewish interests are different, the interests of the Jews are strong here, so you have to decide between the two. So when a Jew claims that he is also Hungarian, he is lying, because he must be seen as a Jew! "Racism means a way of thinking that highlights the external or internal qualities of people, assigns them moral, social or political differences, and sets up a hierarchy between the groups created in this way - based on their assumed characteristics or values." In this interpretation, racism is negative, but at the same time it is self-contradictory, since it can also be deduced that everyone is actually a racist!

Buddy you might have heard this before but they've always been anti-fascist and leftists, you just became a follower of a proto-fascist.

[@professionalskit24]

knipadoodle not leftist, they were anarchist, anarchism turned into a leftist fad. “Proto-fascism refers to the direct predecessor ideologies that influenced and formed the basis of fascism” if that were true why aren’t you in jail? Who’s doing the thought policing by god it couldn’t be anti flag. “Shit loads of money spent to show us wrong from right” ~ one trillion dollars. They sold out no one can deny that. They no longer stand against moral authoritarians because they are themselves. Punk is no longer the counter culture. The left does not control the narrative of the world.

Prof,. Trump played the angry white professionals perfectly with populist lies. I know, I sound ignorant but wait and look at the policies trump is actually for. No healthcare.(this means higher costs for those who need it) No safety net(this translates to higher crime.) And massive permanent tax breaks for the rich(middle class breaks expire after eight years so when trump is done the Democrat s will have to break the news to the rubes who were fooled.

Keep it real AF.

[@ethanfrye31]

the message of this song is "anyone who thinks racism is a myth is a racist"

[@hsleeplessnights9798]

Far from the Truth. But some truth. Now a day's people think you have to use the N word to be racist when infact people are racist without even knowing. For example people who wave the confederate flags in public know that they thought to keep slavery, Black individuals will feel uncomfortable with people showing that flag because they are supporting the confederate beliefs. Often times people label people who hate confederates as snowflakes when really they are showing empathy towards people who have suffered because of that flag. It would be near equivalent too waving a KKK flag. Quite literally
