If you were to dedicate any video to racists and bigots...?

Question

... what would it be?

If you can, can you find it on Youtube or somesuch and post the link?

Here is mine:

Most bigots are not going to be intelligent enough to understand it and are going to say "right on!". If you do, you do not understand what Pink Floyde is saying.

Psssst... a hint...

Pink Floyde is speaking out AGAINST bigots and racists. They are having a "jab" at bigots and racists.

I am looking for the one I would pick as #1 but it is not on video.

White Gown by Wolfstone.

That one is by a Scottish band who say, plainly, that the only thing the White Gown of the KKK brings is shame. Black 47 did a good version of "Danny Boy" that does the job. Of course, Billy Holliday's "Ain't Nobody's Business" works nicely.

I would also be interested in any good
songs and if I can hear them somewhere.

I think "devil's advocate" likes me. Maybe I have a new fan. :)

Answer 1

EnVogue's "Free Your Mind"

Answer 2

Prayer for the children is a good one
Prayer of the Children
Can you hear the prayer of the children?
On bended knee, in the shadow of an unknown room
Empty eyes with no more tears to cry
Turning heavenward toward the light

Crying Jesus, help me
To see the morning light-of one more day
But if I should die before I wake,
I pray my soul to take

Can you feel the hearts of the children?
Aching for home, for something of their very own
Reaching hands, with nothing to hold on to,
But hope for a better day a better day

Crying Jesus, help me
To feel the love again in my own land
But if unknown roads lead away from home,
Give me loving arms, away from harm

Can you hear the voice of the children?
Softly pleading for silence in a shattered world?
Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate,
Blood of the innocent on their hands

Crying Jesus, help me
To feel the sun again upon my face,
For when darkness clears I know you're near,
Bringing peace again

'Can you hear all the children's prayers?')
Can you hear the prayer of the children?

Maybe we should focus not on dedicating songs to those who have hatred but trying to change that hatred, there is in everypersons life a moment when they chose which path to take, perhaps such a song or music will calm the savage beast of hatred within and allow a new outlook on the world. The movie Crash is a great example of how everyone maintains certain predjudices and how in an instant those thoughts can change.

Answer 3

Not answering, but here are the words to Wolfstone's White Gown, for Rikkar...


You can burn me if you want
to but I won't feel a flame
You can taunt me with your words
but I won't feel ashamed
You can burn your crosses down
until the morning light
You can burn out my brown eyes
but I won't lose my sight

You can cast at me the first stone,
I'll cast it to the floor
You can try to clip my wings,
over mountains I will soar
You can wear your white satin
robes and I will wear my pride
And to hold me back you might
as well hold back the morning tide

Chorus...
With your White Gown, handed down
Fills my heart with pain
With your White Gown, handed down
Fills you up with shame

You can offer me resistance,
I will offer you my hand
For a man who has lost his soul
is like the drifting sand
You can strike me if you want to,
I won't cause you any pain
For as long as you don't carry
scars I won't carry blame

Chorus...

You can burn me if you want
to but I won't feel a flame
You can taunt me with your
words but I won't feel ashamed
You can think of me as running
scared but run it from your mind
I'll stand and look you in the
eye until the end of time


And Danny Boy by Black 47

Danny came over to old New York
From Bandon town in the county Cork
He got a room on the avenue in Woodside Queens
And a job off the books doin' demolition
He was kind of different than everyone else
Oh he liked to hang out all by himself
Didn't hit those bars in Sunnyside Queens
Went straight into the Village to check out the scene
One day on the job the foreman said
"Hey Danny Boy we think you're a fag
With your ponytail and that ring in your ear
Hey, we don't need no homos foulin' up the air"
Danny just smiled and picked up a 2 by 4
And he split that jerk from his jaw to his ear
Said "you can stick your job where the sun don't shine
But you're never gonna stop me bein' what I am, boy!"

Then he met a man down in Sheridan Square
They moved in together for a couple of years
Said it was the happiest he'd ever been
Doin' what he wanted and livin' his dream
We used to drink together down on Avenue B


One gray dawn he confessed to me
"Love's the only thing that makes the world go round
And I'm never gonna see another sunset over sweet Bandon town"
Last time I saw Dan he was in a hospital bed
Two tubes hangin' out the nose of his head
But he smiled at me with them stone blue eyes
And he said, "hey, how you doin', guy?
I'm history 'round here in a couple of weeks
But I did what I wanted - I got no regrets
So, when you think of me crack a beer and smile
Hey, life's a ***** and then you die"

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are callin'
From glen to glen, and down the mountainside
The summer's gone and all the flowers are dyin'
'Tis you, 'tis you, must go and I must bide
But come you back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so
I love you so, Danny Boy, I love you so

Answer 4

its really late and I can't think of a song that has "they should all move to their own island and leave the rest of us non racist/non bigots alone...." or "take off your hoods and shove them up your ***!" can't think of a song that would sum that up....and by the way your right, if there is one really good song in reference to that, they would need intelligence.....for which they have none....

Answer 5

any film by Spike Lee, or Michael Moore qualifies

Answer 6

The video I would make is "Rromani are Gypsies". It would focus on the traveling band of miscreants called Rromani, and why they are hated everywhere they travel. That would be my video on those gypsies.

Answer 7

watch the movie "crash"
