  • Smashmouth is an odd one. Cause their songs are oddly… libertarian? Maybe? But every now and then a pretty ignorant lyrics slips through and it’s like “what’s going on here?”.

    Walking on the sun is a pretty good one. Literally saying, “The government sucks, fight back, youve done it before and deserve praise for it.”. And then the last verse is criticizing presumably black neighborhoods for falling into the crack epidemic.


  • If you ever followed American politics throughout history, you can see how this can easily be abused. Before, you had to take a test to determine if you were smart enough to vote. The test was the same for both whites and minorities, but it was graded differently depending on your race.

    What defines “speaking English”?. Is it a basic level, being able to read road signs or being able to speak to dispatch, the loading crew, or ems at a fundamental level? Or is it college level? Will you even be tested if you’re white?

    With trumps many many anti-minority policies and rhetoric, and his abuse of ice, as well as setting up black sites and selling people to the El Salvadoran concentration camp, it’s hard not to think that this will be abused in some way. This is in no way a pro-English law. This is an anti-minority law.

    However, cause of how dot and cdls are set up now, I doubt that much will come out of it tbh

(Also the artist might have just not known how to draw him chained up like the rest with just one arm)
