Christian Rapper REACTS to Tom MacDonald "Me vs. You" IN DEPTH 

"I think this is such a shallow conversation...where people are parroting what others have said" ... But thats the point of the song. The creation of division in politics by politicians so that they can profit from it.

I became interested in your take bc I read "Christian Rapper"; and found myself in agreement with you on a number of fundamentals but also felt you arrived with a few disappointing "pre judgements". One thing was that all of Tom's songs take the same tired view, and the other was the cynical assessment of his motives: 1. Create controversy 2. Get views $ I beg to differ: Tom raps about what he cares about, what he believes is important. On topics that are important to us, don't we all repeat ourselves, and approach with sometimes only slightly different angles? As far as not offering a satisfying solution, or having answers, so much of what is wrong with society is coveted in 2 Chron 7:13 + 14... and Tom doesn't have that.** We do. **( I am fairly certain that Tom is not a Christian, (yet) because if he was I'm pretty certain he would be *VERY* direct and upfront about it. That said, he's an incredibly moral person, and decided early on that he would not promote the things that caused such destruction in his own life.) Have you seen his breakthrough piece "Dear Rappers" or his "answer to the haters" piece God mode? This reaction is the first time I heard of you. Despite some disagreements I have with your approach to this piece, (which is NOT my favorite song of Toms) I subscribed. I will be happy to check out other things you have done, but wonder where you would recommend I begin?

Re: abortion My best friend (and my oldest son) were conceived by rape. Glad they failed to kill her. Glad I realized my son was innocent and didn't deserve to DIE because his father committed a crime

There are three versions of Tom here. Red - Hard Right Blue - Hard Left Black - Moderate You complain about the dissonance between moderate Toms soft-spokenness and the "I HATE YOU", but that is the point. The moderate voice is drowned out by the extremist voice. Ironically enough, you dislike the moderate voice the most which is the problem in politics today lol.

I understand that bias is going to be evident in his music but people who back the Democrats are sometimes blindly following. My mother in law is a Democrat and when I try to talk to her about anything she shuts down and walks away. At the same time she is a practicing Catholic and believes in the morals that a Catholic would believe in. The problem is that she thinks that the Democrats are what John F Kennedy imbibed. Politics are horrible. In the end people are people and we don't have problems with each other, the people in power do.

Your views seem rather prejudiced. The title doesnt refer to Tom even though its say Me. It is the hard right vs hard left mentality. Honestly, he articulated the arguments of both far end sides pretty fairly, in that there was no real viewpoint, just insults and division. I mean, the song is literally about how politicians want us to act as he portrayed people because it is better for them. They want division. Sure, not EVERYONE acts like this, but many arguments DO happen like this. I myself have tried to argue a right viewpoint and instead of facts or logic, insults were thrown. Ive also had a couple debates where the person with the left viewpoint was civil and well-spoken, but that isnt the majority. I cant even talk to my step mother about politics because she gets upset if I try to espouse a right viewpoint. You seem to have forgotten that this is in a battle rap format in that the arguments are meant to tear down the other person. The "If you're anti-LGBTQ then why are they always on your mind" is a dig saying that he is in denial. It very much sounds like an argument made by people on the left (anecdotally I have heard similar things from my left wing friends dozens of times). The clan member line is the same way. Again, similar to arguments made by people on the left, but more exaggerated because it is a battle. Essentially, you are guilty of what you criticize Tom for. You are looking at his arguments as you them and based on your beliefs about Toms ideals. You blame Tom of perspective bias while having perspective bias from literally the first word Tom said.

I disagree with Tom, about the conclusion he comes to specifically and concur with you about community. I just read "Live Not By Lives"*, which points out that one of the ways the Church survived under the scourge of Communism was by *being* community based. * "Live Not By Lives" was the title of the message Alexander Solzhenitsyn sent out the day he was exiled from the Soviet Union, as well as the title of the excellent book by Rod Dreher

Re: defunding the police, (as well as other idiotic moves, like not prosecuting shop lifting under $900) have made places like Oakland CA into war zones with businesses and restaurants closing and leaving... It's an important issue, part of the political debate, and to attribute it to a vanity/ego move by Tom is, in my opinion, unfair.

its more the far left than the Democrats that he is referring too.

Ow god you are so far off. You seem to already come into the video with an agenda or already knew a side. Pretty disingenuous as a reaction video.

stop talking about your false god and get to reaction to the subject
