Poor white people. Such a rough existence.Look it’s cool to be white, you just can’t be unapologetic, or have any charisma, or show cultural or national pride, or stand up for yourself, and you must always silently admonish yourself for what you ancestors did, and apparently we are all still a highly organized collective looking to lord over all people of color even in the present day. Yep, it’s pretty sweet

I got about a minute in. Whatever message he's trying to spread is completely drowned by his total lack of talent. He should take tips from these guys

There are six and a half times more white people living in poverty in the US than black people. The percentage of black people living in poverty is more than double, but twenty three million whites living in poverty is no joke. Almost thirty million white people in the US qualify as poor or low income. Sure, you have a far better chance at getting by and being comfortable in life if you're born white, but the whole "poor white people, it must be terrible..." is misguided. The song linked in the OP is dreadful, but at least part of the message is sound; white people in general are not the enemy.

I mostly agree.It's almost as if the real enemy (of most people) is an economic one.
Most meaningful conversations about inequality should hinge on rich man/poor man. (I'm talking about the economic divide that is ever-widening.) Unfortunately, poor man loses the plot in his/her day-to-day existence, trying to eke out a survival. Rich man knows this.

The song is basura, I couldn’t even really run it.
I hope you realize that all of that is false right? White people are doing that all across America just fine.
It’s an opinion, much like your own.
No they are just wrong. If it's raining outside at 3:00 pm, someone can't just say "oh look it's a dry night out right now". There are facts and then there are opinions. White people are allowed to have charisma (Justin Timberlake), show cultural pride (Steve Austin the WWE wrestler), and be unpologetic (the PRESIDENT OF THE USA Donald Trump). And the only reason why Trump doesn't rate higher is for the obvious. If he dialed it back about 40% (and when I say dial it back I mean with the public cursing, getting into scandals, and showing he doesn't know that much relative to other presidents ) he'd have a higher poll rating score.

MacDonald is becoming a favorite.
New track is awesome, as are the past few he's put up.
Tom MacDonald - Politically Incorrect
'I'm not Racist' and 'This Is America' both got accolades from the media for bringing up real issues and speaking truth to power and really letting us all know what's really going on.
Doubtful that the reaction will be the same for this, even though it is the exact same thing, just coming from a different portion of the country's citizens.
The line "Don't tell me how to see it through my white eyes" is a perfectly valid outcry against how the West is acting. Students and citizens are literally being instructed by the powers-that-be on what they should be offended by and what they are not allowed to be offended by.
I won't say "imagine if..." because there are plenty of historical examples where oppressing a group's ability to advocate for themselves and engage with the public discourse didn't end well for that society.
Mad? Unsure what you mean.Many white people tell other white people how they/to feel through their white eyes. It's done constantly on this forum.
Are you just mad that people are pushing back at all?
Mad? Unsure what you mean.
Also, show me examples of white people telling other white people what to see on this forum. I'm curious to see a real-life example that you believe fits your description.
