    I’m a 68 yo white liberal. I wouldn’t have come across this except for Joyner being on MSNBC with Ari Melber tonight. I grew up in New Orleans, and I’m old enough to remember “whites only” signs in the 60s. The city has had plenty of problems, including racism and inequality, but the thing I remember most is how black folk and white folk could always party together, Mardi Gras, JazzFest, second lines, Preservation Hall, WWOZ, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu, the music and food … I owe everything I know about my cultural birthright to black people in New Orleans. I’m so glad I tracked down Joyner on KRplus. This piece of music is absolutely brilliant! It made me cry. I offer my deepest respect for this artist’s gift. ✌❤🙏

      @Rafael orozco the average person is not racist. People acting like a majority of the populous are just ignorant to this. People are more to go out of their way for people of color and there are many instances of people of color getting many different opportunities in jobs just solely due to skin color (affirmative action comes to mind and some scholarships only available to people of color).
      Since this is in America it’s best to put a view on it with the police system being against black men rather than other skin color/gender. This is a form of discrimination but can be looked at due to the fact black people make a majority of prison cells so it’s something imbedded into their mentality. A guy who led a huge movement during Black Lives Matter(don’t know the name) was actually invited to be on the forces training for a day in which he “shot” a couple people solely because he assumed the worst and wanted his safety.
      This song explains both whites and blacks sides of the argument saying black culture is crime rampant and they’re given more for just skin color and the black guy is accusing the white guy for stealing culture since white kids now are just saying the n word freely which the black guy says is wrong

      She said she thought my life was actually pretty alright since to her it didn't seem like I was being bullied because of my race.

    I see a lot of people here saying either "the white guy's right!" or the "the black guy's right!". Problem is that the lot of you missed the point of the song, it's not about who's right. It's about coming to an understanding, to find a common ground; and if not a common ground at least that they will agree to disagree. They basically showed the two sides getting all their points out, letting their aggression pour out of them. Once the aggression was out and the points made and they had agreed to disagree they could begin the discussion.

      Your so right hes saying the anger exists because everyone sees their point of view about each other but doesnt realize the other side feels the same. If we would come together we would realize were fighting the same fight.

      Agreed. I'm seeing more people drawing this conclusion, too. It was my first impression of the video. They both make valid points because in their cultures it's reality.

      Absolutely, most importantly *communicating* with eachother. Which we don't have alot of right now, because everytime a right winger speaks about legitimate issues the left shuts them down as a racist or bigot or whatever, and simultaneously I think the right should also try to empathise with and understand people who may feel oppressed.
