I know the rebuttal by heart, "you can't be racist towards white people" so that why it is just hatred.
I've never actually met a white person, I was just wondering if you had been so unlucky.

Another micro-burst of hatred are the lines where he wants raps about how to kill or maim the Koch brothers.


The Koch brothers are libertarians. From their perspective they are defending "the principles of a free society." So for that he believes he is justified to beat them with a rubber hose?
Coke sucks, they deserve it but it would be better if he said lead pipe because then it'd be a cool pipeline pun.

I thought dropping butter on them is because they have a lot of bread (aka money). Then I aks myself why do I even bother to figure out if there some hidden reference in those lyrics.
Open Mike is so full of all these opinions, so why cuss off white people, and fantasizes about attacking the Koch brothers because they have opinions too?Like I said from Kock bros perspective they are defending liberty. So how is that a crime that can only be rectify by a vigilante rubber hose beat down? It's OME calls to violence I don't jive with. It's like Open Mike is saying "I aint no gansta but I certainty do make an exception for the Koch brothers."

So if OME told you he was defending liberty with his lyrics you'd be cool with him?

Well I just gave him a call and he said that. Glad you're a fan now. Anyways, don't call him racist or he'll snap.
