I think American think we was just playing and it’s gonna be some more playing but it ain’t gonna be no playing. It’s gonna be murder, you know what I’m saying, it’s gonna be like Nat Turner, 1831, up in this muthafucka. You know what I’m saying, it’s gonna happen

I think Kendrick has a future in producing tbh. The mofo composed These Walls Hood Politics, and Mortal Man. And he produced How Much A Dollar Cost and You Ain't Gotta Lie himself with Dre's software. If you had heard the full collection of beats he did with Dre for the album, you would cream. He sounds exactly like Dre did and he doesn't even realize how good he is. He just wanted full control over the album and ended up taking a lot of it in his hands. He's currently producing for Jay Rock's album but I have no clue if he's actually gonna make it on there. I have a zip folder full of beats he never put on To Pimp A Butterfly and I might end up asking him to let me use one, it's all just so fucking good. He changed his "producer" name to some stupid shit. I Am The Dragon was what it was last time I checked but I think he changed it when he realized how stupid it sounded (LoveDragon also sounds fucking stupid but I ain't gonna diss my boy and his skills on the mic and his skills on production). He also mixed a lot of the album himself and for the most part spent a lot of time with Dre, Ali, and Samson while they were mixing the album, constantly leaning over their shoulders telling them what to do. He mixed u himself, that's something I'm sure of. Most of the personal tracks, like u, Hood Politics or How Much A Dollar Cost, that truly reflect how he was feeling, had more involvement in, to the point where he barely let anyone get involved besides to clean up and produce the tracks he had composed. Eventually nothing the producers sent him ended up matching what he wanted so he got Dre to help him out. It's like how Eminem became a producer. He had this one track called Fatal Mistake about him traveling to Compton and realizing that his old gang was all either murdered or grew resentment against him, and his guilt that he was never there to save then, and it's the best fucking track I've heard from him hands down. The production was so good I can't even describe it.

America is obviously the faceless face of racism, as it is corporatized, administrated, bureacracized. Present in the institutions. Racism in america is systematic and hidden. A dude in the KKK in some hicktown Nowhere,USA is not racism. Racism are laws on the books that directly target minorities in ways which are intended to be subtle and undetectable.

The enemy is this entity that is everywhere to be found and nowhere to be seen all at the same time.

Tupac is making the observation that there is racial tension in America and that if the status quo continues, the situation is going to get worse, possibly resulting in violence. He's not advocating violence, he's just saying that people are feeling pushed into a corner and some one eventually is going to lash out (cops killed in NY, cops shot at in Ferguson).

The enemy killing Kendrick and his homies is the institutional racism in America (for example, how cops in Ferguson were/are targeting minorities to raise money). Kendrick is saying that gangs and black on black violence are distracting people from the real enemy (racism and ignorance).

Another cool thing I noticed about this last section was how well the caterpillar/butterfly metaphor pertained to 2Pac himself. 2Pac had that beautiful butterfly inside of him but "couldn't see past his own thoughts" as described in the poem. The thug life mentality was his cocoon and it ultimately lead to his early demise. I love that Kendrick simultaneously takes time to idolize 2Pac and point out the flaws that lead to his downfall. It's very appropriate that when he finishes that poem, 2Pac is no longer there. God, this album was brilliant.

It doesn't make sense to personify the abstract concept of disunity as "the enemy". "Enemy" implies that it is an outside force killing them, and your interpretation suggests that it is their own fault. The line itself just doesn't make sense that way.

I have to wonder how much perceived "racism" is the result of insults directed at someones race.

For example, if a Chinese guy cuts me off I might call him a chink, but it doesn't mean I think all Chinese people are inferior. I am just using the best insult I can think of in the heat of the moment.

I can imagine someone getting pissed off for whatever reason and calling a black person a nigger, irrespective of any sort of racist belief. Of course the black person can't possibly know your true intention and simply thinks you are a closet racist.

Lol that's probably the only article I have ever read from cityjournal.com and the first I have heard of "The Manhattan Institute".

If there is anything in that article that is wrong then I would really like to know what and why, no joke.

>Here are the crime data that the Times doesn’t want its readers to know: blacks committed 66 percent of all violent crimes in the first half of 2009 (though they were only 55 percent of all stops and only 23 percent of the city’s population). Blacks committed 80 percent of all shootings in the first half of 2009. Together, blacks and Hispanics committed 98 percent of all shootings. Blacks committed nearly 70 percent of all robberies. Whites, by contrast, committed 5 percent of all violent crimes in the first half of 2009, though they are 35 percent of the city’s population (and were 10 percent of all stops). They committed 1.8 percent of all shootings and less than 5 percent of all robberies. The face of violent crime in New York, in other words, like in every other large American city, is almost exclusively black and brown. Any given violent crime is 13 times more likely to be committed by a black than by a white perpetrator—a fact that would have been useful to include in the Times’s lead, which stated that “Blacks and Latinos were nine times as likely as whites to be stopped.” These crime data are not some artifact that the police devise out of their skewed racial mindset. They are what the victims of those crimes—the vast majority of whom are minority themselves—report to the police.

You put maximum resources into areas where the highest murder rates are, which is black areas.

With more cops in those areas, there will obviously be more stops and confrontations.

You have to realize that minorities tend to live together. If cops have to spend more time in minority areas, there's is going to be of every sort of police related activity in minority areas, good or bad. Its not like cops are scanning down a street for that one black guy to stop in a street filled with whites.

the only way to stop them
is with the lash

-But dogs only obey their own nature

but not if we forgive them every time
they obey their own nature

-l'm arrogant because

you are when you say that?
You have this preconceived notion
that nobody, listen
that nobody can't possibly attain
the same high
ethical standards as you
so you exonerate them
l can not think of anything
more arrogant than that
You, my child...

you forgive others with excuses
that you would never in the world
permit for yourself

-Why shouldn't l be merciful?
Why?

-No, no, no You should,
you should be merciful
when there is time to be merciful
But you must maintain
your own standard
You owe them that
The penalty you deserve
for your transgressions
they deserve
for their transgressions

- they are human beings

- No, no, no
Does every human being need to be
accountable for their actions?
Of course they do
But you don't even give them

It's not an excuse, it's a reason. A valid one at that. Two people in different environments with different upbringings will not be the same. If someone subjected to a violent environment growing up with peers or parents who encourage that lifestyle you would be an idiot to expect that person to live in an ideal civilized manner, regardless of skin color.

considering Pac's philosophy came a few years after the LA riots it makes sense why he would think that. given how the current race riots of today pale in comparison it's clear he was wrong, so there's no use getting upset at "hurr durr le blacks will come for us."

as for Kendrick, all he's talking about is the systematic oppression of blacks that has continued since the 60s when most white people thought everything was magically fixed with a switch, unaware that blacks were still in poverty and have suffered those effects to this day. by "those effects" i mean drugs like crack and meth (but mostly crack) that were literally introduced to ghettos by our government with the intent of destroying them from the inside. the drug trade in the ghetto is all run by gangs, so the more hard drugs, the harder the violence will be - this is what Kendrick is referring to with "turning on the enemy" hence that cover of all the ghetto dudes in front of the white house.

thing is, if you pay attention to any of these "radical" rappers you know they really don't want white people to get hurt. they just want some kind of vindication for everything they have suffered for so long. besides, kendrick was pretty clear on "Complexion" that he really just wants everyone to get along.

Simply put, if you weren't raised in the ghetto there are some things you will never understand about that culture/the anger that comes from it, so dismissing it all like you're an expert is pretty stupid.

"America" = The white establishment that continues oppressive policies and policy enforcement on minority communities.

The main tool employed by the white establishment to destroy the black community has been the war on drugs. It's only made harder by subverted racism that prevents blacks from being hired 60% more than an equally qualified white, giving all the more incentive to get involved in gangs and illegal activity out of necessity or just plain boredom.

Historically, the problem wouldn't have been as bad if urban communities weren't totally fucked by the crack epidemic, a phenomena that has been well documented as being started by the federal government (literally the crack that went through freeway rick and was supplying the epidemic was being given by the US government).

"Niggas" will murder cops, I'm assuming. Hopefully not just random white people.

The aforementioned white establishment is, and has been, creating environments filled with poverty, drugs, gang violence, and murder via aforementioned policies and the discriminatory enforcement of those policies.

Aside from that, cops are just killing black kids/men like its not, and always have been, it's just now getting attention.

And as for any environmental variance (from the second link)

>The present data do not permit any strong inferences about the sources of environmental variance, but other twin research indicates that a substantial and perhaps even a major proportion of the nongenetic variance is attributable to prenatal and other biological influences rather than to differences in the social- psychological environment

So not only is IQ genetic, but environmental causes for IQ variance tend to be prenatal/biological.

I never said that, nor did I advocate for it. I'm simply translating. I will say, though, as a black man who's had many experiences with american cops, most cops are pieces of shit, and more importantly they're the direct enforcers of the policies that are fucking over blacks.

And it makes sense that most cops are pigs. Which kid from your highschool was more likely to gravitate towards a job that lets you carry a gun and carry the full authority of the law wherever you go? The sensible, smart, judicious, kind-hearted kid, or the jughead bully who loves authority? Now who's more likely to be fine with the pay of a police officer?

Look, you can continue to pretend that science is on your side, that it proves that black people are inferior, but the truth is, you're racist. It's evident in the fact that you spent time cherry picking facts and "evidence" to support your claims. You're a racist. Why don't you go back to listening to technical death metal or something made by white people? Admit it. You thought black people were inferior first, then you found these studies, probably pushed by other racists as evidence. All I know is that tons of black people who aren't racists are superior to you.

>>54408932
Not true. Black people raised in an environment where they're subject to poor education and a culture that does not promote education for its students are worse test takers. Many of the concepts that are used in the IQ test are white-biased in the sense that they are concepts taught in schools which are predominantly white. Look it up. They're not inherantly dumber, they just haven't had the chance to be smarter. Tons of wealthy black people are extremely smart.

Well the IQ between whites and Jews/Asians is much smaller than that of whites/blacks and hasn't been shown to affect whites ability to create and maintain peaceful prosperous societies. Hispanic "Whites" also bring down the average white IQ by a bit (pic related). But yes you are right, Ashkenazim Jews (which are caucasoid) and (some) Asians have higher IQ's.

In general, gentile whites are less intelligent than Ashkenazi Jews. The difference isn't terribly significant though (2-5 points depending on the study) and gentiles make up for it with the fact that they are incredibly creative and have formed the greatest civilizations the world has ever seen.

Asian IQ studies are notorious for selection bias.

Blacks have an average IQ that classifies most of them as mentally retarded in most first world countries. Even in the U.S. they would have been classified as mentally retarded until 1992 when politically correct lobbies had the cut off for mental retardation lowered from 85 to 70-75.

You can argue about whether IQ tests measure intelligence all day, but IQ has been proven to be the best predictor of future success and SES.
>twin studies are mostly case studies, they have not been widely done and the scientific community is split on the accuracy of many of these such studies
Blatant lie, the study I linked was not at all a case study, and who cares about what "most" studies are. if you have any specific gripes with the ones I actually linked then name them.
>jumps from twin studies to black people
Twins are people - Black people are people
If two people with the exact same genetic makeup reared apart share the same IQ then it stands to reason that IQ is mostly genetic for all people, blacks included.
>Twins reared apart is different than black people raised in environments in which it is difficult to get an education.
Except the Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study disproves the premise that blacks would do any better if they were raised in affluent environments.
>low iq also correlates with poor education, which also correlates with crime. Correlation =/= causation.
I agree. IQ correlates with poor education because people with low IQ tend to live in low income areas where they receive shitty educations. Correlation does not equal causation. The difference is that twin studies and other peer reviewed support the idea that IQ is causative of these SES conditions and not the other way around.

Why does stop and frisk disproportionately affect minorities? Why do blacks get harsher sentences on average than whites for the same crimes? Why did Cliven Bundy have armed thugs point guns at LEOs and not get shot at and every white guy on /pol/ and on news article comments sections calls him a hero but Eric Garner tells a bunch of cops to leave him alone and he gets slammed to the ground by three guys and choked to death and those same people say he should've stopped resisting? Why are black people with no convictions on their record less likely to be hired than white people with a criminal record? You can't ignore this shit. You can blame it on black culture promoting violence. You can blame it on genetics making blacks inherently inferior. You can blame it on history. This can all be debated and refuted and confirmed and hashed out. But you can't call yourself a rational individual if you hold the opinion that systematic racism does not exist in the United States in 2015.

I'll even give you a motive. What do you get she you have privatized prisons providing cheap labor to American companies, those prisons facing contractual obligations that state they must fill their cells each year, drug laws that incarcerate people for non-violent crimes, an implementation of those drug laws that affects minorities more than whites even though whites so drugs just as much, and profit to be made from all of this?

The fuck?

>iq tests are a flawed measurement of intelligence
That is true, but an IQ test is the best measure of cognitive reasoning we have. There are other forms of intelligence that can be measured in many different ways, but IQ is by and large the most accurate
>You can't simplify that. Twins reared apart is different than black people raised in environments in which it is difficult to get an education.
I don't think you understand the point of that part of the post. The separation of the twins showed that the intelligence quotient of each twin was identical and most likely inherited by their parents
>low iq also correlates with poor education, which also correlates with crime. Correlation =/= causation.
He never implied causation you retard. Stating a correlation does not imply that the two are direct causes/influences on each other. Two things can exist within a common set without interaction
>you're not a geneticist. You simply found a particular article about something that supports your beliefs.
Way to post links stating the antithesis
Maybe post some literature reviews

Tupac wasn't black, he was clearly Indian.
