The Racist - Boogie Down Productions[00:00:00]

I've been taught to respect my elders and behave[00:00:03]

Even if when they were young they sold slaves[00:00:06]

Truth and understandin' is what I crave[00:00:08]

In the land of the thief home of the slave[00:00:11]

Turn your page to a brief demonstration[00:00:13]

'Cos now in '90 it's strictly information I'm givin'[00:00:15]

Teachin' on a regular basis[00:00:19]

Today's lecture is about the racist[00:00:20]

We're not out to exaggerate or diss him[00:00:23]

But show the symptoms and facts of racism[00:00:25]

Understand the racist ain't equal[00:00:27]

There's about five different types of racist people[00:00:30]

First of the five different types of cases[00:00:32]

Is the individual brought up racist[00:00:35]

Here you have young men and women[00:00:37]

Brought up in the Great White Way opinion[00:00:40]

This opinion introduced by the parent[00:00:42]

To the civilized becomes transparent[00:00:44]

The civilized man could look through the faces[00:00:47]

Make the analysis and see the racist[00:00:49]

Number two case which y'all must hear[00:00:51]

Is the individual racist out of fear[00:00:54]

Here you have people that fear the African[00:00:56]

And conjure up new ways of trappin' him[00:00:59]

Number three is the unconscious racist[00:01:01]

Not knowin' they're racist they invade your spaces[00:01:03]

They say "I'm not a racist I'm not a bigot"[00:01:06]

Yet they allow it to go on and won't admit it[00:01:08]

Number four is the money racist[00:01:11]

The one that used the topics of sheer economics[00:01:13]

They say "Owning a business isn't for the black man[00:01:15]

He don't want that" yet they went and took his land[00:01:18]

Damn that's like a rock in a hard place[00:01:20]

You don't have your land yet this ain't your space[00:01:23]

America was built by every other race[00:01:25]

Except the European that runs this place[00:01:28]

What a waste America's doomed[00:01:30]

To be overthrown by the righteous real soon[00:01:32]

But last but not least racial prejudice[00:01:35]

Is the black man speakin' out of ignorance[00:01:37]

Whitey this and Ching-Chow that[00:01:40]

Is not how the intelligent man acts[00:01:42]

You can't blame the whole white race[00:01:44]

For slavery 'cos this ain't the case[00:01:47]

A large sum of white people died with black[00:01:49]

Tryin' hard to fight racial attacks[00:01:52]

The media wants you to think that no whites[00:01:54]

Really fought and died for Civil Rights[00:01:56]

But once we have a true sense of history[00:01:59]

You'll see this too as a mystery[00:02:01]

If black and white didn't argue the most[00:02:03]

They could clearly see the government's screwin' 'em both[00:02:06]
