wyclef jean "if i was president"

who cares who started slavery or who had slaves back in the day...its over now, we have a black president, who i did not personally vote for but no matter what he is still my president,everyone has an equal opportunity now and recent events have shown that. we shouldnt be worrying about who is black or white, we have bigger problems like our economy going to the shitter

it aint about white or black hes talking about him not the fact that hes black just the fact that hes from a poor country i hgope usa willk get better with obama and its not about color anymore just about money and power... theyres white people dying too .. Fight the power. not the people.

one more thing, what white men did 200 or so years ago aint got nothing to do with this white man today.

lmfao, the song is good no doubt. let me just say first off that black people were first sold into slavery by there own kind and second, i don't wanna condemn an entire race for the actions of most. we live in a country with more oppertunity then any other country in the world, we need to stop blaming society, society didn't fail us, we failed society. no matter what life we live we always have a chance to rise above it, some just lose hope and give up.

Africa is currupt becuase black people run it

thank you!!!!

Great Song. He should be President. Peace

shut your ignorant face, you know nothing!, the printing press, math, paper currency the list goes on and on of things invented by nonwhites. and you say that white people runthe world? to bad you are not one them. crawl back to your trailerpark

I know a shit load of white crack dealers my friend...And just as many black scholars. You are just spouting nonsense...Educate yourself. I guarantee you that no black man bought the boats to bring the crack to the shores of the USA.

Dude - Regardless of whether you are drunk, what you've been saying is utter bullshit. A 'self-destructive race' you say? Well guess what, I'm white and i'll tell you you are a complete fool. And yes the legacy of European colonization is certainly largely to blame for Africa's problems, along with other things like entrenched corruption, ethnic violence, capitalism... the list can go on. This is a great song, why some ignorant minded drunk would be watching this is beyond me.
