So true one of the smartest rappers alive if I had a chance to chill with any rapper I'm choosing immortal technique this guy will teach you something you like my teacher
Every person who said it was a justified murder should be able to answer in their heart - "If this was my child, I would understand that the kid got what he deserved."If not, they full of shit.
I agree about your point on the (mis)perception/(mis)education of Latin American 'racial' heritage. Again, that comes from learned and internalized racism towards others and self.
Super impressive . Has plenty of interviews like such speaking on a wide range of topics serious ones at that . You should see the one he did on the news at occupy wall street
You would never see a guy like this debating Fox News, CNN or NBC News, too Intelligent and too Intimidating and refuse to be CONTROLLED! Only RT and TYT are bold enough to have him on their show. Much Respect To Immortal Technique for always telling it like it is!
I almost deleted Immortal Technique of my iPod because he hadn't released anything in quite some time, but this interview convinced me I must always keep him on there.
this proves it he's not mainstream not because he's wack as a rapper or has no bar or unintelligent it's cuz he's 100% real. anyone who doesn't know this nigga is a rapper and one of the best in the game but he'll never get the credit for it
As usual, Immortal Technique is very interesting and nuanced about this issue. Having studied many political court cases for the book, The FBI War on Tupac Shakur and Black Leaders, I've found that in political cases versus leftists, prosecutors come up with many charges for one minor incident, much less a fatal shooting. In this case, the Republican D.A. only started with one charge, and then added a second. She got a black woman sentenced to 20 yrs for just firing over attacking abuser's head.
there's a couple of rappers who are educated and this guy is an intellectual for the most part. Providing a conscious opinion on things doesn't mean you have to be philosopher (which is a title I'm skeptical of because it's completely subjective). Also, this issue has nothing to do with economics, it's simply a conversation on moral ethics.
If only I can find a man like this..not trying to sound thirsty but having a dude who knows his history like I do is almost impossible. Having an intelligent conversation is a turn on. Anyway, this man speaks the TRUTH. Someone who didn't pay attention in their US History/ World History/ US Government classes would not understand it at ALL.
I agree with IT. I see a lot of comments mentioning that "Trayvon wasn't a child anymore", and that he was "bragging about beating people up in his texts", but honestly? It doesn't matter. Because I don't care how you try to justify what Zimmerman did, ANYONE that is being followed by a grown ass man and then accosted DESERVES and HAS EVERY RIGHT to defend themselves.
this man is the real thing... intelligent and a motivational speaker.. i think everybody should see this.unbias and speaking the real things about the case.. hitting from both angles... these are the people America need..
I hear what he's saying. What I noticed is once one takes a side its hard to really look at the facts impartial. In this trial the facts that the judge felt were un prejudicial to both the defendant and the victim were brought in for the jurors to consider in their deliberations in order come to a verdict. This is the justice system we have.
I've been reluctant to watch this video for awhile; I have been a huge fan of I.T. for a long time, but in this particular topic he has confirmed my new opinion of him. He may have strong feelings toward this incredibly unjust trial which is understandable, but I can only hope that I.T. will develop a higher understanding and not allow himself to speak so emotionally. True intellect is to view the harshness of reality and maintain a calm sensibility of it. But i guess we all have "daddy issues".
Racism (along with hate, anger, depression, anxiety, etc) stems from fear. If you can overcome fear (which is not easy) you can overcome racism. Stone 703
thank you Immortal Technique for dropping knowledge on this subject, much like your music, your perspective on this matter resonates with me on a level that only real G's understand... one love brotha #RIP Trayvon
djvlad, man you are right on the money here, if only peoples could understand the true history of oppression and racism, we would be having such a different dialogue about what is going on all over this whole planet.
I agree with what you're saying. Some old guys called the cops on my little sister of 14 for "suspicious behavior" when she was walking on their street and stopped for several minutes to admire and play with an intricate spider web. But if you don't have the right to follow someone who you find suspicious, then we citizens never have the chance to prevent crimes, which the cops are largely incapable of doing.
What you're saying makes sense in theory, but there is the issue of disobedience by Zimmerman. When Zimmerman called the police and told them what he thought was going on, the police dispatcher, after having heard Zimmerman's account, then told George to stop pursuing Trayvon. George over-stepped his duties and tried to be a real cop instead of a watchman. If he had done what the police dispatcher asked him, he wouldn't be in this situation to begin with. He put himself and Trayvon in danger.
Actually, I listened to the 911 call (hopefully you already did). The dispatcher said "We don't need you to do that." Was it dangerous for Zimmerman to follow Martin? Sure. Wrong and illegal? No. Zimmerman did NOT put Martin in danger by stepping out of his vehicle - apparently he did put himself in danger by doing so though, given what happened. Trying to be a "real cop" is also not illegal unless you're actually impersonating an officer. In a bad neighborhood cops can't stop crime.
It's not illegal to "provoke" someone. You could unknowingly talk to some guy's girlfriend in the club, and he decides to punch you based on your "provocation". The only thing that matters is self-defense and who threw the first punch or drew the first weapon, and all the available evidence points to Trayvon having PHYSICALLY aggressed against Zimmerman.
especially when you haven't actually seen that person committing a crime. The fact that he followed someone without any provocation or legitimate reason for following him should be an issue.
If he felt he was up to no good and looks suspicious as he said in the 911 call, then why would he follow him? Wouldn't that almost guarantee an altercation? And in the state of Florida we all know (Zimmerman knows better than any) the right to stand your ground in the face of an altercation. "Shit, he's running" -George Zimmerman He pursued the suspect (suspect in his mind) because Trayvon ran when he sensed someone following him. "These assholes,they always get away" -George Zimmerman
Zimmerman has to be pretty fucking egotistical to not regret killing a person, regardless of the circumstances. If you had to kill someone in self-defense, you wouldn't think that you might wish you might have avoided the confrontation by ten minutes, or maybe wishing that, in Zimmerman's case, that all the time taken out of his life was worth an event that could have EASILY been avoided? The only justification for not regretting (not feeling guilty) of the situation is a megalomaniac.

I really appreciate that somebody has some god damn sense.
So true one of the smartest rappers alive if I had a chance to chill with any rapper I'm choosing immortal technique this guy will teach you something you like my teacher

Much Respect To Immortal Technique for always telling it like it is!
I.T should be a professor I'd sit in his class all day!
Me too.
I almost deleted Immortal Technique of my iPod because he hadn't released anything in quite some time, but this interview convinced me I must always keep him on there.
"Bout a Week Agoooooooooooo "
This Intelligent young man needs a national platform or a spot on msnbc, cnn, or wherever because he speaks RAW TRUTH!!!!
this proves it he's not mainstream not because he's wack as a rapper or has no bar or unintelligent it's cuz he's 100% real. anyone who doesn't know this nigga is a rapper and one of the best in the game but he'll never get the credit for it
agree
#1 independent rapper in the world. 2nd is Tech N9ne

Intelligent brother here. Respect to Immortal Technique.
The gentleman is incredibly articulate and insightful. More so than any "talking head" I've seen in the media over the last several years.
Could listen to this guy talk all day, common sense so refreshing!
He's realer than so many people omg. You're just as articulate and knowledgable as anything
Immortal Technique is one of the best reps coming out of the hip hop community
there's a couple of rappers who are educated and this guy is an intellectual for the most part.

This dude is articulate and well spoken. Real talk!
Idk anything about this man, but I swear I could listen to him talk all day.
I have never heard of this guy before, my ignorance, I agree. But I think he is totally right. Well said
I agree with IT. I see a lot of comments mentioning that "Trayvon wasn't a child anymore", and that he was "bragging about beating people up in his texts", but honestly? It doesn't matter.

Execellent interview!!! Immortal Tech is that dude!!!
this man is the real thing... intelligent and a motivational speaker.. i think everybody should see this.unbias and speaking the real things about the case.. hitting from both angles... these are the people America need..
Everything he said I mean everything he said is so true, This should be Air on TV in every state, city, town.
Probably the best video you've posted vlad. My favorite. And the whole video was iLL but 13:00- the end was the illest
Thank you for SPEAKING THE TRUTH
Not really an Immortal Tech fan but much respect here.

In this trial the facts that the judge felt were un prejudicial to both the defendant and the victim were brought in for the jurors to consider in their deliberations in order come to a verdict.

Immortal Technique should be a guest on Real Time With Bill Maher.
My man! Excellent point at @14:20 to the end!
Immortal Technique is speaking words of wisdom!
Trayvon had every right to defend himself!!
Dude got my respect, 1st time I've heard him speak and he has a lot of common sense. I wish people did.
Thanks immortal technique for being one of the only people who is speaking out against racism that isn't racially biast he speaks for all races.
This guy speaks from such an unbiased logical way. So refreshing.
+benja303 He's logical but he definitely has a lean, politically speaking on the spectrum. Maybe not even biased, but he definitely has a strong lean
The best point of view I heard yet
OK Imma listen to this dude music, he has a clear perspective on things. Realness on tap
Tech is DOPE!!! Great interview...
I've been reluctant to watch this video for awhile; I have been a huge fan of I.T. for a long time, but in this particular topic he has confirmed my new opinion of him.

My man! Love these interviews!
*Applauds* Well said!
most noble rapper

Dropping pure knowledge. Respect
Need more rappers like this. So smart nothing but respect

Speak nothing but truth ! Love you 👑 king
finally, a sane person
Tech needs his own show straight up.
This man is very intelligent i can listen to him on soo many subjects!
immortal technique is one of the realest person i know
15 minutes of truth. Technique is the man.
I really like his idea of a civilian council. I wonder how something like that would be established.
Immortal Technique spittin the truth!
especially when you haven't actually seen that person committing a crime. The fact that he followed someone without any provocation or legitimate reason for following him should be an issue.
If he felt he was up to no good and looks suspicious as he said in the 911 call, then why would he follow him? Wouldn't that almost guarantee an altercation? And in the state of Florida we all know (Zimmerman knows better than any) the right to stand your ground in the face of an altercation.
"Shit, he's running"
-George Zimmerman
He pursued the suspect (suspect in his mind) because Trayvon ran when he sensed someone following him.
"These assholes,they always get away"
-George Zimmerman
Zimmerman has to be pretty fucking egotistical to not regret killing a person, regardless of the circumstances. If you had to kill someone in self-defense, you wouldn't think that you might wish you might have avoided the confrontation by ten minutes, or maybe wishing that, in Zimmerman's case, that all the time taken out of his life was worth an event that could have EASILY been avoided? The only justification for not regretting (not feeling guilty) of the situation is a megalomaniac.
Every time I hear this man talk I learn something..
Great interview...
"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."
Well said Tech!
he's on point with everything he said
what are you specifically referring to?
This is reality at it's best.
Hes on point and has great intellect
He spoke some real shit....this was a good ass interview.
I like the way he looked away from the camera at the end. That is the " I mean business" look away. Lol
