Mother, mother

There's too many of you crying

[Gwen Stefani:]

Oh, brother, brother, brother

There's far too many of you dying

[Jermaine Dupri:]

[Aaron Lewis:]

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some lovin' here today

[Nona Gaye:]

Oh my father, father

We don't need to escalate

You see war is not the answer

[Nona Gaye/Backstreet Boys:]

For only love can conquer hate

[Christina Aguilera:]

You know we've got to find a way

To bring some lovin' here today

[britney Spears:]

Barricades, can't block our way

[J-Lo:]

Don't punish me with brutality

[Destiny's Child:]

Talk to me

So you can see

[Destiny's Child/Britney Spears:]

[First Chorus]

Oh what's going on

What's going on

Yeah what's going on

Ahh what's going on

[Ja Rule:]

What's going on in a world filled with pain

Where's the love for which we pray

What's going on

When our children can't play

Homeless can't eat

There's got to be a better way

What's going on

When we politically blind

Can't see the signs of endangered times

What's going on

[Nelly Furtado:]

Ah tell me

What's going on in the world today

I'd rather be dead

Than turn my head away

We gotta first world vision to complete, to lift our

Hands in the air and cry for a switch

[Michael Stipe:]

Father, father

[P Diddy:]

Father help us, come on

[Michael Stipe:]

Everybody thinks we're wrong

Together we can all be strong

[P Diddy:]

United we stand, Divided we fall

[N'Sync:]

[second chorus]

Yeah, what's going on

Hey, what's going on

Somebody tell me what's going on

I'll tell you what's goin' on-uh

[Nelly:]

What's going on 'cross seas

Every minute a child dies by this disease

In record numbers indeed

Got momma's crying out please

My baby hold on

My child ain't done nothing wrong

Still I want to holler

Ask them why they don't bother

Oh no, oh no

Make me turn to my father

And ask him why they all got a trapped soul

[Nas:]

I can feel what was bothering Marvin

Why his words forever remain

Dealing with these modern day problems

'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents

Too many infected

Too many lives diminishing

Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians

Pray together

Less fight

We better unite

As genocide chemical war

And the rich and the poor

Know that God delivers a cure

[Eve:]

It's a shame our reality is devastating

People praying for a cure

Dying while they're waiting

Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it

All the kids with dreams

Won't get the chance to chase it

Makes me sad

Think about the lives they would've had

Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads

How can we sit back and not try to make it right

We gotta come together

We gotta fight for life

[Fred Durst:]

Somebody tell me what's going on

(what's going on)

We got human beings using humans for a bomb

But everyone wanna live

Don't nobody really want to die

You feeling me right

I can't be watching people die

(die)

And watching people cry

Let me break it down for a minute

If there's enough room here for you and me

There's plenty of room for some humanity

Ok, you need a time out. The remix is no way comparable to the original.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.

I see Nazis have been brought up in this thread. Here's a story about the Catholic school my niece attends in Chiang Mai.

Thai school's Nazi-themed parade sparks outrage
By Greg Hughes, CNN
September 28, 2011 -- Updated 0935 GMT (1735 HKT)
110928074712-thailand-nazi-parade-horizoStudents from the Sacred Heart School in Chiang Mai, Thailand took part in a parade wearing Nazi uniforms. Faces have been blurred to protect their identity.

(CNN) -- A Jewish human rights organization on Monday called for Thailand's Christian leaders to condemn a parade at the Sacred Heart School in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in which participating students wearing Nazi uniforms performed "Sieg Heil" salutes.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights organization based in Los Angeles, denounced the event, saying it was "glorifying Nazis."

Photographs of the parade show participants carrying a Swastika flag, performing Nazi salutes and wearing SS uniforms, while others dressed as Adolf Hitler complete with toothbrush moustache.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said the images made it clear that the event could not have taken place without the knowledge and cooperation of the school administration.

It is difficult to calculate the hurt such a display inflicted on survivors of the Nazi Holocaust .
Simon Wiesenthal Center

"It is difficult to calculate the hurt such a display inflicted on survivors of the Nazi Holocaust and the families of all victims of Nazism. There can be no justification for such an outrage to emanate from place of learning," he said.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center urged those responsible for the school to take immediate action against the individuals who promoted and facilitated the event.

Cooper said that a similar parade took place in 2007 at a school in Bangkok in which 200 students participated, and that more recently, members of Thai rock band Slur donned Nazi uniforms in a music video.

On Wednesday, the school's website posted a letter by its director expressing an apology.

"We, the entire Sacred Heart School [personnel] are deeply saddened by this incident."

The letter explained that the sports day activity involved groups being differentiated by colors -- the "Red" group having used Nazi symbols.

Pick your flavor you want to read about. Redskins is as offensive as any of the other racist images and names associated with other races.

Meh, most of those were funny. I don't think you get the concept of comedy. It can be healthy to joke about stereotypes. Comedians do it all the time. Sometimes its race stereotypes and sometimes its about gender stereotypes. The "buck" image on black face made me laugh a little. Kinda reminded me of Bernie Mac when he was being "interrogated" in oceans 11. Anyway, yeah, I laughed at that stereotype and a few others, because they're funny. Would i assume a random black guy I meet on the street or in a job interview or whatever is a certain way because the color of his skin? Of course not. I think that you link those two together because of your own issues. I'm from KY so I always get made fun of for being inbreed or a hick from northern folks. Its funny and I usually play into it. But there's a difference between people joking about stereotypes and counting you or your opinion out because of what you look like or where you come from. People that do that, well, you and I are on the same side there.

Fast forward to todays thread. Here is the context to what I responding to. I did not make anything up. I did not character assassinate you. I am quoting your own words. You said those images were funny, I challenged you on those grounds. To me and most sensible people those caricatures are not funny. This is not Comedians Journey, though some of you may think you are funny and this is your stage.

As Jacque said in post 2, they don't have a clue in Thailand about the black/white thing in the U.S. or apparently what the Nazis did in the 30s and 40s.


He's after GandD coz GandD "laughed" at a blackface image.

It's YOUR thread MAN! Catch up!

.......if uppity means somewhat condescending and mean spirited = yes...but he adds smiley faces to soften it up a bit. That's kinda nice.

What I said there is almost identical to what I've said today. The character assassination did not occur with you alluding to something I previously said. It occurred with the "white liberal" closet racist nazi stuff.
