[Interlude: Eminem]

But you got people of all races

Like, coming together and, and

Helping shape this from the ground up

So now you got little white kids growin' up with black idols

And you got black kids growin' up with white idols

And you got, it-it's just this whole mixing pot

Nothing has brought more races and more people

From all different walks of life together than hip-hop

No music has done that

I don't think anything has done that as much as hip-hop has

So, in the same token

I can understand the frustration being that, you know

Damn near every form of, of music, period, was created by black people

So, you got Chuck Berry, you got Rosetta Tharpe

And rock n' roll is starting to get some attention, but then along comes Elvis

And people are acting like, "Oh my God, I've never seen this before"

You've seen it before, but you might not have seen a white person do it to this level

So now, he sells the most records and people are callin' him the king of rock n' roll, right?

But on the flip side of the coin

If I'm a black kid, growin' up in, let's say the 60s, 70s, 80s, whatever, right

And I'm lookin' on TV and nobody looks like me

And it's very stereotypical

And I'm lookin' at fuckin', I'm lookin' at toys

And they're, and everything is white

The fuckin' action figures are all white

The, the fuckin' superheroes are all white

Like, maybe there's one or two, uh, black superheroes mixed in there with mostly white

I don't know how I'd grow up and not have a chip on my shoulder

On the other flip side of that coin

We don't get to choose our parents, we don't get to choose what color we're born

It's more about, at that point, it becomes

You're born here, you are, you're what color you are, you're what nationality you are

And then it's what you do with it, right

To make a difference

To make a difference

To make a—

To make a difference
