------ About the song Ship Those Niggers Back performed by Johnny Cash
johnny cash is a great musician but this song is a johnny rebel song. racism is shit because EVERYONE at sometime in their life is guilty of being racist. look at it now where i live its predominately black racism against whatever fucking color you are.
If I was at the home of my Best Friend's wife, I would have a good Alibi:
" Mary and I were there all that evening, doing a tough Jigsaw Puzzle.".. it works for me. / rap
( I heard this song by June Carter Cash on Prairie Home Companion on Saturday evening, and I hadn't heard it for many years. I didn't hear it in my head on Sunday or Monday, but I woke with this monstrous ear-worm on Tuesday morning. Ripped my guts out. /rap

------ About the song The Long Black Veil performed by Johnny Cash
this song my father sang my my entire life. and I belieive as others have sad before me it may be he in fact had some skeletons in his closet. he also wanted me to admire and appreciate such great music, lyrics, and meaning...it hits home moreso to me now...because it reminds me of a man i dated for a while....while he was in and between a relationship with another... we both knew what we had and what we had was more amazing then her and him... what made it that much more meaningful was that alot of what we had was kept secret. many can say i was wrong...but i followed my heart and we were ment to be together...now he has died..he sufered 104 strokes...this after we stopped talking--because my guilt got the best of me and i made him go back to her...he never said a bad word about me...on top of the fact that i actually was his best friends wife...and had recently split with his best friend...he kept his silence.... until the day he died..and i kept alot of mine too..and now i cry in silence...and nobody knows but me.... and u all now. :'( this song,. breaks my heart over and over again. I miss him.

my father sang this song to me and my brother from the time i was an infant to the time i was in grade school. I never really gave it mich thought but my father may have had some skeletons in his closet.. or he may have just really like the song and wanted his sons to appreciate the music as well. Either way it remains and always will remain one of my all time favorite songs. in fact i will be singing it to my son as a lullaby

the only reason why all the niggers and chinks and beners come to america is because the US is the number 1 country in the world. well in about a year or so america will be shit because we got a nigger as a president. BTW the US helps out more beners and chinks and carpet riders than anyone in the world. for example; FREE COLLEGE wtf is up with that, im paying 100K to go to college and they get there shit paid for and im gonna get their job anyways. PS... GO BACK TO YOUR OWN FUCKING COUNTRY!!!
Keeping silence | Reviewer: kc
------ About the song The Long Black Veil performed by Johnny Cash
The song doesn't say that *she* refused to speak up. It says *he* "said not a word". Meaning either that he was protecting his reputation (and/or his best friend, from the knowledge of betrayal), or protecting her.
Maybe her husband would have killed her for her infidelity. There have been plenty of times and cultures where the accepted social mores would have been for the husband to do his best to kill both the wife and her lover.
As for why he was in her arms -- marriage and love haven't always been what they are today and history and legend provide many examples of couples who had affairs while loving and/or respecting the cheated spouse.
MY grandmother was his aunt...how you like dem apples his uncle (fathers brother was my greatgrand father). Some of his family members(our cousins) even admitted that my greatgrand father had admitted to have had an affair and a black child. My uncle is writting a book about it documented proof. Believe me or dont thats up to you. But just so your racist ignorant ass know JOHNNY CASH HAS BLACK RELATIVES!!!!!!!EVEN IF HE WAS RASCIT MYSELF.

I'm not sure why ya'll have identified The Highwayman as a Johnny Cash song.? It was written by Jimmy Webb, and performed by The Highwaymen, who were: Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson & Johnny Cash. ...and it's not called Highwayman, it's called THE Highwayman.

The song has a guy with the same rythem and vocals styles as Johnny Cash, but it doesn't even sound like him. You could just as easily say that it was Johnny Paycheck. Lets get real people. And you racist assholes can stay off of the internet. Yes, I am white, I grew up in a small town with only white population, I am a redneck through and through, and I did just call you a racist asshole.

------ About the song Ship Those Niggers Back performed by Johnny Cash
John was one of the greatest poets of any time. Period. John had no racist attitudes as he matured. He did have racist attitudes when he was a young man. John was a drug addict and alcoholic but he was "cured" because of his marriage in to a Christian family. We are all fucked up when it comes to this topic. African Americans (really? African Americans? Really? Ok, I'm a Welsh American, and please respect that. Don't call me anything other than that, for that is my ancestry.) claim entitlement because we took them from their homeland and made them work as slave laborers in America; therefore, they are entitled to whatever they can get from us, the American society. Give it up. Stop it. We have gone past that now. NoBama is the President of the United States of America. You fucked and fucked and fucked and finally got the population you needed to elect the first African "American" President. You win. Congratulations to you all. Just as Kennedy was the candidate that would save us all from our stale and outdated opinions of ourselves, Obama has given this same hope to the "new" generation. What we used to call the "Camelot" era has been reborn now that all of us "Boomers" are ready for Social Security and Medicare. I learned my racist attitudes from my parents generation, the World War II generation. They saved the world from an asshole by the name of Hitler, the biggest racist of them all. I will go so far as to say that my father was probably as much a racist as Hitler was, but he didn't stand for such a blatant proclomation as Hitler did. I'm sure my father sat with his friends in social occasions and told "nigger" jokes, "kike" jokes, et al...but he DID fight the Germans and they DID defeat the racist asshole and they DID free the jewish people from the hell they had to endure. Did all the Jewish population make it out alive? No. Did the African Americans have a role in WWII? Yes, a small one, but none the less, they did have a role. PBS and other Media Corporations are quick to point out what a role they (African Americans) did have in the "Big One". Yes, our society was racist, just as Hitler was racist. The American Government was not a predominantly African American Government then, so it only stands to reason that as Irish Americans, German Americans, Polish Americans, Italian Americans, Swedish Americans, British Americans, Spanish Americans, African Americans, and so on, and so on, and so on...they all fought the racist regime and they, as a whole, defeated the threat. As Obama aptly opined at the Democratic Convention that brought him in to the Political Arena, the "Speech" that made him a force to be reckoned with, he stated: "There is no African American, no White, no Brown, no Yellow American...there is only the "American". Did the African American suffer when they were sold by their own brothren to the "White Devils" of America? Yes. Did the Irish American suffer when they came to the "Land of Opportunity"? Yes. Did the German American suffer when they came to the "Great Hope" of America? Yes. The Italian American? Yes. The Polish? Yes. The British, escaping Great Britain's religious persecution? Yes. Now, the Mexicans. Must be their turn, as at one time or another, it has been all of our turns. Like it or not, it's the history of our existence and it will more than likely never change. Lord how we feard the Japanese in the '80's, thinking they were going to take over our country financially. The Iranian President is being compared to Hitler due to his absolute hatred of the Jewish State. Are African Americans up in arms about this? Do they denounce the Iranian Government, but not the Iranian people? Are African Americans "behind" the American governments desire to rid the world of Terrorist groups that wish only to destroy America? America, the same country you share with the rest of us "racist pigs"? America, the land of the free, home of the brave. The country that you live in? You complain a lot about how terrible a country we are, but you are here, you share the same freedom, the same rights, the same
opportunity. Do you care that we are being threatened by a force that could conceivably destroy all of us? Is your selfishness so integral that you can not understand how desperate we as a society need to bond together now as no time ever in the history of our country as never before? Enough of this bickering, enough of this seperatism...we are in trouble and we need to be as one if we are ever going to survive. God bless us all, including the Iranians, the Iraquis, and the entire world. We must, we absolutely MUST live together. We don't have to agree 100% with each other at all times, but this is one time when we must all agree to "let go" of the past and now start working together for our childrens future(s).
I was a terrible racist as a young man. Simply terrible. I can not state with all honesty that I am no longer that man. What I can say, is that I am not stupid. I know that in order for us to survive as a free society we must all compromise our bias and work for the common good or we, like the Romans, will fall and cease to exist. It is not any more complicated than that. I will forgive, live and let live, but I can not do it alone. We MUST ALL find it in our hearts, our minds, our souls to learn how to let go and work together to coexist and not let our guard down or we will be destroyed by the Middle Eastern terrorist(s) that seek to destroy us all. May the Lord look upon us all with grace and understanding.
Johnny would have never done that | Reviewer: ismael
------ About the song Ship Those Niggers Back performed by Johnny Cash
I am black and I have always loved Johnny Cash, and still do. I am certain that he was not a racist because he was too human, and too compassionate to be one. He also went through a lot of pain, and hence would have solidarity with any one else who did too. BTW, I don't hate white people and don't blame white people for my problems.
IN 300 years there may not be such a distiction between races.
We could all actually look the same. but hate and fear will still look
the same.
Personal experience will shape what you belive. Good or bad. So though
does upbringing. A child will know diffrences but will only learn hatred.
You cant fight history.I hope one day children will learn that once people
hated each other because of skin colour and I hope they will find it hard to believe.

Hey everybody my name is Jimmy and this is what I have to say about the subject of nigggers...I've traveled a bit and I have visited parts of africa and the carribbean and I can easily come to the following conclusion that our black minority is shit.Black people living in other parts of the world do not have the same quote-un-quote "I hate you whitey because you've opressed me and my ancestors" comlpex like our homegrown american niggers!Send them back to africa you say?Naw!,first of all they arnt african and they could never be even if they wanted to and in addition to that african people would kick their asses as well as slit their throats if they were to bring their arrogant american nigger attitutde while visiting africa!

------ About the song Tennessee Stud performed by Johnny Cash
The other day, I was in the paddock visiting the tenant's 3 month-old colt, for the first time.
It's funny- As I sang Tennessee Stud from behind the fence, so as to not startle the animals by my presence (his dam was standing next to him, as he lay on the ground), I piped down, while ambling closer. The foal lifted his head from the ground, supporting himself on his shoulder, readying himself to stand.
I tried turning-up the volume & clarity; He chilled-out again.
He let me pat him after I greeted his mother, and we all hung-out for twenty minutes in the breeze & the tune.
Nice connection ^^

Niggers are the most racist people on earth and they are always crying raciscm. Black racist groups are freely spreading their gossip and being given monetary grants while white groups are viewed as (racist) black on white racist attacks are 400% higher than white on black racist attacks and a white woman Is 20 time more likely to get raped by a black nigger than a black woman being raped by a white man. It would cost too much to send them all back so we all know what must be done Ill take 5 down with me I urge you all to do the same....White Power
