[@pennysilvey8868]

Why does there have to be a skin color involved? Just keeping racism alive with this Black this Black that. It would enrage the black community If white people stood around and said white this white that white schools white streets white neighborhood. This white black thing has to stop. It’s who ever’s national anthem that wants it. Skin color doesn’t matter. We’ve all felt the sting of “THE POWER.” Not just the black community. We have to fight together against the powers that be through legal means. Don’t let them divide us. The government is the one that has proven to be racist, the people of this country not so much. Now I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, but I guarantee you there’s far more people that are not racist in this country than there are. Those that are racist have been brainwashed. Don’t Listen to the government. They are literally trying to destroy this country from within, and they are using its people to do it. Open your eyes!

We can't replicate Chuck D and the dozens of others that defined this era, but we can spread the word amongst the young kids and let them hear what rap should sound like. In my area we had Macklemore, Grynch, Knowmads, and many more repping the 206 (aka Seattle).
