I wish Mos and Nas would do a collab album together

This is the song that made me listen to Ras

The forum would be a much higher quality if you all helped your mods with problematic threads. Like I said, this one is a lightning rod for racism.

Haven't seen one racist post yet.

False. Humans have two types of melanin. Whites have more of one type, blacks have more of the other, generally.

Actually, they discovered that most African populations have Neanderthal DNA as well.

Link? you've already been caught out in the past for spreading false information....

Eumelanin is found in hair, areola, and skin, and the hair colors grey, black, yellow, and brown. In humans, it is more abundant in people with dark skin.

There are two different types of eumelanin. The two types are black eumelanin and brown eumelanin, with black melanin being darker than brown. Black eumelanin is mostly in non-Europeans and aged Europeans, while brown eumelanin is in mostly young Europeans.

A small amount of black eumelanin in the absence of other pigments causes grey hair. A small amount of brown eumelanin in the absence of other pigments causes yellow (blond) color hair.

Even that is racist. And you're leaving out the whole picture deliberately.

If somebody said that all blacks must be perceived as potential predators, you would obviously call that racist.

Well just look at the track record of the Caucasian race.They are the minority on the planet yet caused more chaos on the planet than all of the other races combined. The claim is not far fetched. Sure not ALL Caucasians are evil, but looking at the Caucasian race as a whole the we cant deny the facts. If we were going to call a race evil based on the amount of destruction they've inflicted on the world then the Caucasian would be that race.

Why is this being debated? This is my first time hearing this song, and I knew most of this by the time I was in high school. One thing I have a question about.

On November 25th, 1491

Santiago defeats the last Muslim stronghold, Grenada

King Ferdinand gave thanks to God for victory

And the Pope of Rome and declared this date to forever be

A day of "Thanksgiving" for all European Christians

.. Now listen, when you celebrate "Thanksgiving"

What you are actually celebratin

is the proclamation of the Pope of Rome

Who later, in league with Queen Isabella

sent Cardinal Ximenos to Spain

to murder any blacks that resisted Christianity

These Moors, these black men and women

were from Baghdad, Turkey

And today, you eat the turkey, for your "Thanksgiving" day

as the European Powers destroyed the Turkeys

Who were the forefathers of your mothers and fathers

Now fight the power, you bitch-ass niggaz!

Now, I was been tellin niggas to not celebrate Thanksgiving cuz of the Native American genocide that followed. But I never heard this. In fact, the dates don't add up. The first Thanksgiving in America was in 1621, and wasn't made an official holiday til 1863. America wasn't even "discovered" yet in Ras's date. And the whole eat "turkey" thing seems like a reach. The turkey eaten here in America is native to America, when the Europeans discovered it here, they mistook it for another bird native in turkey, hence the name. I could be wrong though. I'm gonna do my own research on this, but can anyone clarify this?

Apparently, you're correct.

The same way they called Native Americans "Indians" thinking of India, they called that particular bird "turkey" because they thought the bird was originally from the country in central Europe.

As far as the dates go, Ras Kass wasn't saying that Europeans celebrate American history. He's saying that Americans celebrate European history covertly.

Exactly. Same thing with the X-mas shit.

Good lookin out. The Turkey thing is definitely a reach. The Moors were already in Spain when Xiemenes and Isabella had them killed. And thus far, the only source I found on this version of Thanksgiving is this shoddily written article... whose only source is the Ras Kass song.
