Kanye West ”New Slaves” HD version

This is genius.

My mama was raised in an era when/Clean water was only served to the fairer skin
Doing clothes you would have thought I had help/But they wouldn’t be satisfied unless I picked the cotton myself
You see its broke nigga racism/That’s that “don’t touch anything in the store”
And there’s rich nigga racism/That’s that “come in and buy more”
What you want a Bentley, fur coat and diamond chain?/All you blacks want all the same things
Used to only be niggas /Now everybody play me
Spending everything on that Alexander Wang/New Slaves

You see it’s leaders and it’s followers/But I’d rather be a dick than a swallower
You see it’s leaders and it’s followers/But I’d rather be a dick than a swallower

I throw these Maybach keys/I wear my heart on my sleeve
I know that we the new slaves/I see the blood on the leaves
I see the blood on the leaves/I see the blood on the leaves
I know that we the new slaves/I see the blood on the leaves
They throwing hate at me/Want me to stay at ease
Fuck you and your corporation/Y’all niggas can’t control me
I know that we the new slaves/I know that we the new slaves
I’m about to wild the fuck out/I’m going Bobby Boucher
I know that pussy ain’t free/You niggas pussy, ain’t me
Y’all throwing contracts at me/You know that niggas can’t read
Throw him some Maybach keys/Fuck it, c’est la vie
I know that we the new slaves/Y’all niggas can’t fuck with me
Y’all niggas can’t fuck with Ye/Y’all niggas can’t fuck with Ye
I move my family out the country /So you can’t see where I stay
So go and grab the reporters/So I can smash their recorders
Yeah they confuse us with bullshit/Like the New World Order
Meanwhile the DEA/Teamed up with the CCA
They tryna lock niggas up/They tryna make new slaves
See that’s that private-owned prison/Get your piece today
They prolly all in the Hamptons/Braggin’ ‘bout they maid
Fuck you and your Hampton house/I’ll fuck your Hampton spouse
Came on her Hampton blouse/And in her Hampton mouth
Y’all ‘bout to turn shit up/I’m ‘bout to tear shit down
I’m ‘bout to air shit out/Now what the fuck they gon’ say now?”

The cca is the largest for profit prison corporation in America. They make money from incarcerating as many people for as long possible. By law they are obligated to maintain 90% occupancy and make a profit. In simple terms: Private Prisons are big bucks. They have shareholders. Shareholders hire lobbyist. Lobbyist push for lawmakers to make longer prison sentences and target poor blacks who suffer from “collateral sanctions” that land them back into the prisons that profit from them. NEW SLAVES

Black Women every aspect of them sexualized and degraded and yet when it is poorly imitated it is somehow celebrated. Their slang, dress and hair are constantly being policed and when they even dare to take command of their confidence and sexuality it is seen as a threat. A woman in control of her sexuality is perceived as a threat because it alarms men that we can’t be the constant object of affection and protection.

I was watching a skit the other day on youtube. It was about two male friends who were hitchhiking, and two girls in a van stopped to pick them up. One was fat and the other was thin. During the most of the skit, both of the guys were trying to get the skinny woman and were treating the fat girl…

As I was sitting in my third grade classroom, I began to hear chatter. Here I was trying to learn my times tables , when the very two boys I played with were sizing us girls up. Out of the two black girls in the classroom, I was number two. I was cute, but the girl with the green eyes was cuter, I…
