letra de "free speech" - the michael character

free speech nerds
are gonna catch a big loogie in their ignorant eyes
when they see me coming down the hallway
on my way to the past to prove a point about why
the people who whine about ‘political correctness’
are willfully ignoring history’s important lessons like—
the enlightenment-era notion of ‘universal rights’
was conceptualized right alongside
the individual agent in the context of the nation-state
and as such the universal has been constructed from
and exclusive philosophical subject which has never included everyone…
cause the colonized
indigenous
enslaved
and stateless peoples
have long been barred from the benefit of personhood as equals
so when, when, when, when, when
were these better times
when everyone could speak their mind
without fear of repercussion?
oh, i don’t think that you know what you’re talking about…

exhibit a:
back in 1868 a guy named edward pollard
wrote a book (the lost cause regained) in which he posited
the most important problem of his day
was to determine if black folks were real people
or a sort of lower order (‘cause sub-humans can’t be equal)
he called racial equality a “violent experiment against nature”
don’t care if freddy dougl-ss never did debate him
i’m not sure how free your speech can be
when you have to waste your time -sserting your basic humanity
against what racist pr-cks believe
against transmisogyny
against the rampant and dehumanizing stigma of poverty (yea)
still today all david starkey wants to do
is exercise his freedom to call all muslim people atavistic throwbacks
even as he panders to a backward xenophobic kind of evil
what a d-ck
f-ck david starkey

civilizational hierarchy of culture?
man, i’ve heard that one before—
from richard pratt to gavin mcinnes
the same old bullsh-t
the same prejudices
“k!ll the indian in him and save the man” or
‘muslim countries are 500 years in the past’
this quote unquote “western chauvinism”
is just recycled white supremacy
isn’t it?

so free speech nerd
you can debate richard spencer all day
if you d-mn well please
but i’ll be on the beach
p-ssing in both your mouths
yellowing all your t–th, man!

so now—
peter hitchens and steven pinker
are sure that pc kids threaten all free thinkers
complain at oxford union that they get afraid to speak
while a black kid in an all-white cl-ss spends every day knowing that
everybody in the room is gonna hold their breath and see
‘maybe we can get through this lesson about…
slavery
black codes
sharecropping
convict leasing
jim crow
redlining
cointelpro
without a peep from you.’
‘then maybe we can get through this lesson about mlk
with just a little peep from (you).’
