i have heard the song on the radio a lot lately, so i assumed that song is pretty popular, but i didn't know she was only a teenager from New Zealand. the lyrics, especially the part in question, have a lot of symbols in it, and hard to understand. i, myself, was toiling over, what this singer-song-writer really wanted to express. although the blogger, Veronica Bayetti Flores, points out her song is about black wrappers, and therefor, she is a racist, i didn't look that way... alcohol, drugs, designer clothing, cars, jewelries, properties...i took that she was singing about wealthy people...not about black rappers... "We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.", perhaps, the key is in the part... she doesn't care about monetary things in this world...she is free from all the status symbols...there are more important stuff in this world... one thing we need to know is that, she IS only 16 year old, and she is from a different culture...

IMHO, the black racists such as Jesse Jackson Sr. and Al Sharpton (two ordained ministers who should know better!) think the world must revolve around them, and continue to perpetuate 400 years of victimhood. They completely forgot about Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech, in which he envisioned his children being "judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." In order for that to happen, two things must occur: 1) They need to develop honest character, not be thugs and thieves and terrorists and murderers. The longer black youth continue to disrespect themselves and their fellow man, the more people (especially non-African-Americans) distrust them, and the further away that dream becomes. and 2) They must not insist on being treated unequally because of their race. In other words, no more affirmitive action, and the hyphens gotta go! In a country where we are all Americans first, the shorthand of the hyphen putting our geological heritage ahead of our current nationality is divisive.  I am an American of Danish and Cherokee heritage among others, but I never felt the need to denigrate my Americanness because of it.
