He is an artist who wrote a song about 1) Being proud of his ethnicity and culture and 2) the oppression and struggles of black people.

Your having a laugh mate, the only person here is racist, is Dave.
Imagine if a white singer sang this the other way around?
What would the media do, this Dave is causing problems for the sake of it.
Why is he continually attacking white people, The Uk is now more equal than ever and we are all the same, no need for colour to be mentioned at all.
So you think its right to keep calling out white people?
So you think there is nothing wrong in Daves song?

Hope the two minute wonder that is Dave fails in the record sales/ downloads as to spout that C rap will be forgotten soon enough.
Even black friends I speak to wish the likes of Dave , Stormzy etc would shut the f**k up with their " look at me, down trodden and victimised all my life" nonsense.

The fact is he got it spot on. If you think otherwise then good luck to you, you can can call it your generation, but I call it ignorance.

He wasn't anti white, he actually praised the work and actions of a white activist. He simply highlighted the struggles of Black people, which are true.
The irony here is the posters calling it racist, are the same posters who throw about the term snowflake.

Happy to answer, although you were replying to my post, where I asked a question first. Anyway, it's unlikely a white person in The UK would make such a song as their lives are not made harder by the colour of their skin alone. We're also not victims of institutional racism, from the Police for example.
That isn't to say though, that white people don't face any types of discrimination or not.
Dave doesn't say that either, just that Blacks have to work harder, which in most cases is true.
Now tell me, what was racist?

Disagree mate, in todays world if you are ethnic for example your more likely to get a Council job.
Tv news, shows,sports are now far more diverse.
Why are there black awards, music, films? black police federation, imagine the other way around?
UK goes out of its way to give ethnics,black jobs on tv first to show we are not a racist country.
Dave's song is racist from beginning to end
Answer if a white person had sung it what would of happened?

Jason fowler and LeonSDC, you are just seeing what you want to see! You cannot have it both ways!

Mate!!! He didn’t say “Blacks are better than Whites”!!! That’s our point! The person calling Dave racist is misquoting him. He didn’t AT ALL say Blacks are better than Whites FFS. Do you see our frustration when trying to say our side of the arguement, and everyone is replying to us using fake quotes as if it’s a valid arguement and expect us to reply to “Blacks are better than Whites”.
Instead of using this guys screenshot of fake quotes, how about watching the damn video and quoting us word for word something he says so we can have a proper discussion.
