ak3ldama's Journal: RATM - Mic Check (quote)

With this mic device
I spit nonfiction
Who got tha power
This be my question
Tha mass of the few
In this torn nation?
Tha priest tha book or tha congregation?
Tha politricks who rob and hold down your zone?
Or those who give tha thieves tha key to their homes?
Tha pig whos free to murder one
Shucklak
Or survivors who make a move and murder one back?

I am not sure why i brought up this quote. I guess I have always liked Rage Against the Machine and this one quote in particular. and from 'Take the Power Back':

The present curriculum
I put my fist in em
Eurocentric every last one of em
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting
To hold us back
Weve got to take it back
cause holes in our spirit causin tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
Im inferior? whos inferior?
Yea, we need to check the interior
Of the system that cares about only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back

Now I am just a dork white boy gringo, but it does disturb me what this quote refers to. This is the real racism. I may be a racist on some levels, but I treat everyone equally as a person, and I certainly see differences in peoples/cultures/classes as being just that - different.
