Jay-Z Speaks On Race! "We're More Alike Than We're Separate"

[hiphop12345]

The video is more profound that I thought it would be. Talking about the impact of hip-hop on race relations and saying that it brings people together and makes racism more difficult..it's a very good premise and I respect that statement.

I think we see a lot of how hip-hop has stitched race relations and we also see the consequence of it.

Can u please give me a detail explanation, of how hiphop is fixing race relations?

Hiphop is on a long list of music cultures that blacks created, and other ppl love n eventually take. Jazz was the biggest genre at one point, so was Rock, and so was Soul music and motown.

Did those other genres fix race relations??

Do people coming together to root for Lebron or Cam Newton also fix race relations?

Fix never but improve. Ray Charles and other artist boycotting the south until they integrated helped. It won't reach everyone but many of the white Motown fans are cool with Black people

That's what niggas don't get. No such thing as a silver bullet on societal issues.

The only way to IMPROVE race relations, is by IMPROVING your economy...

No goofy as music will IMPROVE a damn thing.

If more respectable genres such as Jazz, Blues, Rock, Funk,Reggae etc. Did not improve race relations. a senior on stage, rapping about drugs he sold 30 years ago will???

Most rappers are minstrel performers.

Blk ppl being economically independent and self sufficient, is how race relations will improve.

Except your wrong and they have. Bob Marley brought people of all races and nationalities together, so did Duke Ellington, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Michael Jackson, Tupac, Kanye, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and even the Wu-Tang Clan these are well known Black acts that have the power to branch across race or nationality, hell some of them have more white fans than black ones.

You have been disproven but you can continue to rant and rave on the subject all day if you want. Again, there's no silver bullets and nobody claimed that hip-hop is one, but to say that it doesn't help is a lie, a flat lie.

To say race relations in the United States is the same today as it was in Ellington's time or the heyday of The Temptations is also a lie and music has helped tremendously with that.

Why the Japanese didn't need some of the greatest musicians of all time? Where's the Persian Bob Marley, the Armenian Duke Ellington? How many Black people still can't get into a club while Hip Hop music is being played?

What the hell are you talking about, what clubs are Black people denied in despite hip-hop Being played?

Now music can bring people together but what does that do? Most of Latin America music was created by Black people yet when you think of Latin America you don't even think of Black people so how did the music save Black Latino's? You don't think the cop who murdered Eric didn't grow up on some Jigga what, Jigga who?

You scatterbrained bruh. Pick a topic and discuss it. All this issue mixing is irrelevant and you can't prove that the dude responsible for Garner's death is racist or that he listens to hip-hop as if that matters.

You reaching.

L. Americans have their own issues and once again you seem to think music or any one thing is going to change the entire world, which niggas have said a multitude of times THERE ARE NO SILVER BULLETS, shit will NEVER be perfect. But once again, music definitely brings people together an you simply can't deny it.

What does Eric Garner have to do with this? How do you prove the bolded statement? You can't even prove that dude was racist let alone what his musical tastes are. Cut that shit out

Y'all niggas have no argument.

Clubs all over America(Canada also). Dress code mean =ban what Black people are wearing.

My point is that Hip Hop isn't going to save the day, it's not going to end racism and more importantly than ending racism, Hip Hop hasn't put an end to the harm racist can inflict on Black people.

Music bring people together....ok?
