He is saying that "we were promised liberty, land and the chance to success but all that America has done for us is keep us in poverty and danger" Rebuttal... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/30/08 You are missing the point if you think he is saying that balck people in the ghetto are waiting for a wellfare cheque. What he is saying is that people are literally starving, and if you really are in the ghetto is virtually impossible to get out. The president wants to stop the crime, but how can that possibly happen if you have people in the streets starving? He feels they need more help to escape - and lets face it, even more than 12 years on what has changed? Just look at New Orleans. Billions on a war, not a penny spent to prevent the levys breaking. Money for wars but can't feed the poor. "40 acres and a mule fool" is not a literal reference. He is saying, that black people are simply not free when born into poverty. Martin Luther King, Malcoom X made a difference because they reached people. 2pac reached as many if not even more people than they did. Love it or hate it, he is the Martin Luther King of his generation. Whatever. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/26/08 What an insult to compare this trash with Martin Luther King. So welfare checks are how the government is supposed lift up black people? 2Pac was never a slave; he's not entitled to "40 acres and a mule." (Fool.) And nobody with any pride demands a handout. Martin Luther King fought for equality. Equality isn't sitting around collecting a welfare check because you think you're entitled to it. Equality is becoming a productive member of society and contributing something positive to the world. Whether you're black, white, red, or yellow. Poor and downtrodden comes in every color. So does bright, ambitious, and hopeful. There are plenty of black people who represent that, and this song does a terrible disservice to them. response .. | Reviewer: suad | 4/15/08 Help foreign nations ? Which foreign nation have we helped. We help destroy foreign nations. And we serve our own interests under the pretext of "helping" other nations. If we had nothing in it for us, we wouldnt be helping any nation. Its called Capitalistic Terrorism. Questions for the President | Reviewer: Jon | 11/14/04 This song by Tupac is very touching. It says everything men like Martin Luther King, and Malcolm X were saying. If the most powerful man in the world, which is the President can help foreign nations, what about our communities?
