    In this music video both the homeless people are black. Also, the police are all white. Moreover, the black rappers portray themselves in a "ghetto" and as the originators/leaders of hip hop. The hip hop wanted pictures are all of black men.

    lol yea mojiti is kind of difficult to use. I like the selection. It raises several questions about race. The biggest thing for me was trying o decipher the different messges the group was trying to send. Should people feel bad for the individuals in situations similar to the girl in the video? Is her socioeconomic status being presented as a hindrance or a crutch? As te song progresses, the emphasis shifts towards the latter.

    This is a really good video full of racial stereotypes, mainly negative ones about Blacks. I like how the song presents the problem/situation, provides possible ways to improve the situation, and makes it a little more hopeful. You might also want to consider how the attire, attitude, and location of the singers contribute to the message being sent. Are they examples of people who have successfully escaped that lifestyle? Are they examples of how other people can help those in this type of horrible situation? Good job though!

      Here is a video that talks about racism for the jewish people. some interesting lyrics are: "We've been traveling from state to state... ...3,000 years with no place to be And they want me to give up my milk and honey Don't you see, it's not about the land or the sea Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty" He is saying that the land is important to the jewish people for more reasons than just the land or the water. "Burn in the oven in this century And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me... ...Erase the demons out of our memory Change your name and your identity Afraid of the truth and our dark history Why is everybody always chasing we Cut off the roots of your family tree Don't you know that's not the way to be" Here he is saying that it takes more to be strong than just erasing the horrible past of the jewish people in israel, and also the present.
