SO IN REGARDS I COULD GO ON ABOUT A LOT OF HIS "FACTS", BUT IM TIRED, BUT A LOT OF WHAT HE STATED IS TRUE, CONSIDERING THE JULIUS CEASER STATEMENT, THAT CANT BE NECESSARILY PROVEN TRUE OR UNTRUE, (sry for caps) but for that matter a rather large potential of what he said can not be proven untrue, regarding albinism hes not stating that africans were racist towards them, but that it was a sin to the africans, so won't you actually listen before you comment people. Food for thought | Reviewer: Mani | 1/22/09 I read all your comments and appreciate all angles on the issue. I think whatever the perspective we can agree that although there may be inaccuracies and elements of extreme pro-blackness (Arguably to the the point of reverse-racism) who can you name that has put together such a work of lyricism? I don't agree with all of Ras-Kass's views, but respect his intellect immensely. The dude who said The N-word gets no respect! Ras Kass is a N.... but other blacks you don't have a problem with long as their not racist??? Think before You speak or type Ur obviously an intellectual midget, get some more sense and consider composing a more thoughtful argument next time bro! U can't call the N-word, then be like... I'm cool with other blacks though... The mathematics don't add up!!!! Whatever the case we must know the past to enhance the future, after all 2morow is the sum of yestarday's and 2day's events, may knowledge riegn supreme and may ignorant minds of all kinds be woken up!!!! Blessings to ALL my people. 1LOVE. Inaccuracies | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/26/08 There is no Baghdad in Turkey. I thought that would be apparent to most Americans by now considering your nation invaded Baghdad (which is in Iraq). Pheonicians are not black. How can whites be considered the first race haters if at the beginning of the song he states that albinism was a sin to the African man? doesn't that make them the second race haters? No historian can determine whether Gaius Julius Caesar was bisexual. There was certainly political slander during his career, but it can never be empirically proven. What is the point of making this statement in any case? Bisexuality has nothing to do with race. If anything Jesus'name would have been Jeshua (ibn) Yusef. this is because "bin" has only existed in the Arabic lexicon for less than 200 years. I suppose the essence of the song is correct or poignant. black people have been sugjugated by caucasian by people for a long time. But it is unsound to suggest that all white people must be considered potential predators. Inaccuracies | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/27/08 There is no Baghdad in Turkey.

Racism | Reviewer: Adam | 9/1/08 Noun 1. racist - a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others Within the definition of the word "racist" or "racism" in general, the race that is being oppressed cannot be racist to the oppressor. Instead it is a response toward oppression. Since the white male is the oppressor, a black male cannot be racist in the same sense, since does not have the upper hand in the social hierarchy. And I'm white. Grow up, fuckers. Just what people need, To question his-tory! | Reviewer: Mike | 8/28/08 I don't agree with everything that Rass has stated in his lyrics. But I have learned and researched most of it. He has a lot of facts. Lot's of indigenous people and cultures do not know their true history sometimes. Like for example the Vedas culture. Modern day Indians in India were tought by the British that some Aryan Invasion theory is the creator of there ancient culture. Max Muller British philosopher based this idea on pure theory. And for 100 years it was tought to the masses. But thanks to satellite imagery we have discovered the dried up Saraswati river bed. 72,000 archaeological sites have been discovered. And it's full of artifacts! The ancient Vedic culture was robbed of it's great Mathematics, science and cosmology etc. It was portrayed as great discoveries by Indo-europeans. That's how the British later conquered India. The holy Vedas was everything to them! My point is though, Every culture has some greatness throught history. It's the white domination ideology and way of life that has discredited every culture on the planet. That's the way they control the masses. They made themselves more superior then every human civilization in this world. And that's fact. From the Africans in Egypt not building the pyramids! LoL.. Even the Mayan's and Aztecs have been discredited of their rich history. It's always some ancient Indo-european white man crossing the ocean and teaching these civilizations to be so advanced in their intellect and way of life. When people question these great things that so called europeans discovered and created, Then people will start to research and know that their history is just as great or better than early european history. Even Henry David Thoreau and Ralph W. Emerson said that the sanskrit writings in the Vedas make our english language puney. Intelligent white people understand this stuff. It's the power driven and ingorant ones who dont. They have to accept their was someone way more advanced then them. Knowledge will free you! And ignorance will rule the masses. Nice | Reviewer: Eastside | 8/15/08 Ras Kass isn't saying white people are the threat he's saying that they are the Nature Of The Threat. He never once said white people are the devil. Rap music is you telling your life so if he has a problem with whites he probably faced racially issues. Genius | Reviewer: A person of color | 7/18/08 the points that Ras makes here are very so believeable, sure you haters might say "oh he's racist" but he's speaking the truth of the things that happened. im pretty sure Ras has plenty of white friends, but the point is is that he's teaching us pieces of history that won't be taught to us in our schools because of fear of rebellion that would put the mutants in their place. i mean, i don't hate white people but alot of white people say the most ignorant and stupid things, and they do alot of things that make our youth dumber, especially the people in Hollywood and the people from the Bush administration. I hope that we can learn to get along, but i still think rebellion would be good if all else fails, sheltered life is too boring i would start a riot if i had the necessary tool, and the white pigs [cops] didn't suppress my actions only because i am an angry person of color. fuck the powerful and influential stupid people. kudos to Ras Kass, a true brother and a pivotal figure for equality. it may not seem like equality, more like colored dominance, but if you look at the the facts and all the things white people in the past did to us for money, then you see that it will be retribution. Gold was turned into money for the white man so the white man used that for power and stole the gold from all the libraries and places from the blacks. Inaccurate | Reviewer: Tim | 7/16/08 Among many other lies and mis truths in these lyrics, most prominently featured is the assertion that whites came from albinos. Ridiculous. Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects all "races". There is a parade of falsehoods that follow. Yes "white" European history contains much ugliness, as does the history of the world. This song points out plenty of negative history, but does so in an intellectually dishonest fashion. Mixed Facts | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/30/08 Kass is a sick rapper and soul on ice is one of my fav albums after illmatic, 36 chambers, cuban linx, rd, paid in full, and some others. I've got to say his facts are really mixed up. much of it is accurate but he doesnt even tell history form the perspective of the Egyptians which is what he should do to sway people's minds. being a white kid form the bronx, you pay attention to the racism directed towards your people in music like this. so you check for accuracy etc. but anyway, the main points here are not false but are not the direct truth. still, for his own personal opinion and expression, it's a sick song Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2
