"Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses." True in 1992, true today.

[@eclipsewrecker]

[@caracoidwren944]

This year police shootings of unarmed black men hit a grand whopping total of four. And black cops are just as prone as white cop to be involved in police brutality cases. So it's kinda hard to give a pass to "some of those who work forces are the same as those who burn crosses." Has a cop ever been found to be part of the Klan in the last half century? And when they refer to whites as considering themselves to be "the chose people," where does the hypocrisy end? The ridiculousness of claiming anti-racism by making a clearly racist statement I suppose never bothered them. I've never heard anything as blatantly racist as that statement against any other people of color right out proudly stated with no blow back. I myself was coming out of the basement door of a building I just bought and got thrown up against the wall by a black cop and frisked. If every white person started counting the transgressions against them personally and ignored all transgressions against other races, I'm sure anyone would think whites were being targeted. This is a dead end that is driving a wedge into the people of this country and will in all likelihood lead to the division of the country. And ignorantly stating that nothing has changed since 1992 . . . well, if it was like today, there's not much sign back then that there was any racism at all.

RATM aren't just allies, but a 'mixed' band - I mean Tom Morello is totes African American in that his dad was born in Kenya [which was a UK colony at the time] to a family of revolutionaries, he was a freedom fighter, diplomat (1st ambassador to the UN), journalist etc., (his uncle was Kenya's 1st Prime Minister and the country is named after him) Morello's mother is Irish Italian American and founded Parents for Rock and Rap anti censorship org. Zach de la Roche is also mixed, well more mixed, mainly 'Mexican-American' (including African, Amerindian, Sephardi Jewish etc., as well as Irish and German) who's great grandfather fought in the Mexican revolution... RATM are, I think, part way along what MLK's dream was, to paraphrase, they're little black boys and little white boys playing together, maybe mixed with a little black panther, Mau Mau, Zapatistas, Malcolm energy - they are mixed genre, mixed races, mixed influences, mixed heritages... I've always felt it was a great shame, and probably planned, that coz of how in 'merican communities, cultures, radio, TV etc., were divided and segregated, even up until now really, African Americans weren't as familiar with Rage as we were in Europe - we knew some of those who work in your forces burnt (burn?) crosses, and we sang, shouted, shreiked in solidarity.

Man, I was about 7yo when this song dropped, but music moved slower in those days and as I became a teenager, Rage was a core artistic influence. I love when fellow black folks learn about Rage for the first time. There is/was/has been such a divide between "hip hop" and its implicit blackness vs tons of other music styles that speak to the same spirit and themes that power black experiences and narrative. Lots of rock, punk, metal music could appeal to a lot of hip hop heads if they really listened to the message and heart behind it.

rollin down the road and my boy was like you gotta check this out.wait wtf did i just listen to? turn that shit up and rewind it homie. about 3 songs onto the cd i was hooked. never heard anything like that before. ever. at that time they came out of nowhere and hit so hard.and nobody sounded like rage. always listen to loud. they still hold up to the test of time.

You'd like 'Bulls on Parade' (from the same album). It leans a little more towards the hip-hop side. Zach's got some bars & a unique flow.

You gotta listen to Bulls on Parade, and especially Rollin down Rodéo

Rage is a simply amazing band. Zach de la Rocha has a great track with Saul Williams called “Act 2 Scene III (Shakespeare)”
