It's funny that in the decade of the Rodney King beating and the O.J. Simpson trial, black-white relations in the USA were better than today. The amount of fear and distrust being instigated by politicians/media/educational system is sickening. Anyone who doesn't believe it, can ask an black person over 35. Same goes for m/f relations. The only thing that's gotten better is LGBT. They really had it tough in the 90s.

It was at number 1 for an eternity here in the UK. It really is a great song, and gets it's message across far more effectively than any of the mindless PC nonsense happening today. Sadly it was the only real success story En Vogue had over here. A few of their other songs were reasonably well known because they were in movies - but that was it. They vanished from the charts after this song and only get mentioned now on a handful of music channels when a 90's recap must be produced.

@@alansands256 It's because they are taking Color-Blind literally when it's not supposed to be. It's a metaphor. Gen X has always always been about embracing individuality and differences; so we got it. I agree! We have gone in reverse not just 10 years but decades.

It's amazing how music from almost 15 years ago can still apply to today's society, 100%. It's also kind of sad that people even had to make these sort of statements, then AND now. But, what are you gonna do? People will always be shallow and ignorant, unfortunately. Thankfully, though, now people aren't afraid to speak out and be strong. So not only is this song the fucking jam, it's also incredibly powerful and positive. Man, the 90's were fuckin iconic

So you're on a rant about people's prejudice while you have a screen name about boinking dead people? Sometimes stereotypes are true, that is how they become known as stereotypes. Is it fair to paint everyone that fits the description HAS one of the idiots? No, of course not. But it's human nature to do so.
@bonbonbonny8 жыл бұрын
Super.Chuck First of all, not sure what you're getting your panties in a twist for. I didn't say anything about a stereotype, I was just saying how this music is empowering and how it's unfortunate that some of the prejudice and ignorance is still happening today??? Not sure what's wrong with me saying that & also don't care. And secondly, you really need to get your facts straight, my dude. *Necrophilia* is when you commit sexual acts on a dead body. *Necromancy* is basically calling upon spirits and talking to the dead. But either way, thanks for your opinion? And regardless, have a great day👌
