Like shit about Indians. Now they
let the Indians win on television. For years they didn't.
But now they starting to see why, you know, we can't be doing this to
the Indians. Because the Indians trying to get their thing
together. So now the Indians went on television. But for
years, when you a little kid, you sat there and sucked that shit up,
didn't you? This is what you believed the real shot was until you
became old enough to see it. It took you a long time, didn't it?
Television, they're still after them little kids, man. Cartoons
with the violence, you know. Shooting bullets and shit, and
shooting him in the face, his face turns black. All this kind of
shit. Even connotations, man. Black people hate connotations
like the difference between angel food cake and devil food cake.
The black plague. It's the same shit. The same shit.
The same fucking way, man. They're killing out there, and they're
killing in here.
We didn't say anything about racism.
No, shit. That's how come you
ain't got no black people behind you, because you forgot about racism,
man. You forgot about it. That's how come you ain't got no
black people down here. Yeah, you got a few of us, and they rap to
you just like I do. Now see, you're running a thing. You
want to be human, man. You want to stop the war. You want to
stop the killing, the whole thing. But you still aint' took time
to learn how to treat your other brother cool. Can you dig it?
You ain't said nothing about him. And the brothers look at that
and they say, "Why do I wanna go down there, man and get involved and
shit? It ain't for me. It ain't for me." I just hope,
man, just by standing here rapping with you now, if you didn't think
about it before, think about it now. If you did think about it
before, goddamnit, now do something about the shit.
There's an aura of hate in my outfit.
I mean, a Vietnamese, there is no such thing to my unit as a friendly
Vietnamese. Every Vietnamese is a gook. I have hardly ever
heard the term Vietnamese. They were always gooks. There's
no difference between a good one and a bad one, except the good one at
the time is carrying no weapon. But he's still fair game.
The games that some of the marines in
my outfit played, myself included, would be to find the older papa-sons
with the long whiskers, which I guess is a symbol of his identity in
their culture.
And they would just be cut.
They would brutalize anybody who
complained.
