um...LIVEURLIFE.....there was police brutality and discrimination agaist Mumia. His brother was getting the shit kicked out of him by cops. Therefore Mumia jumped in to save his brother. (hence the police brutality) the discrimination comes in when the cops singled out a former Black Panther. Mumia was a blacl ativist.....i dont see how you dont see how theres no police discrimination or brutality in Mumia's case......

staleph1sh, you are right about them being super leftist and anti capatalist but they are not anarchist. And you will have a tough time seeing them live because they broke up over a year ago.......sorry.

Actually, the line a few of you are referring to says: "Some of those that WORK forces, are the same that burn crosses". Like deltajoy said, it's not just about police brutality either. White supremists are everywhere including the police force, the military, etc etc.

FIRST OF ALL THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS REVERSE RACISM, IT'S CALLED REVERSE DISCRIMINATION, AND SECOND, HEY GIVE IT UP, NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT REVERSE-DISCRIMINATION NOW WE'RE SUFFERING FROM WHAT OUR ANCESTORS DID OR DIDN'T DO ...

The song appears under two different names. Depending on whether you look at the album tracklist, the single or compilations etc, it is either Killing in the Name, or Killing in the Name Of.

same difference... there's nothing we can do about what our ancestors did... the damage is done, for better or for worse.

Before I knew it was "the chosen whites", I thought it was "the chose ones", so I thought this song to be killing in the name of God or a god. But that doesn't matter now. I also see this song as about police brutality, and about cross-burners being police, but whose name are they killing in the name of now?

delta joy i agree with you on the idea of what the song is about, but on a rather political note, what the fuck are you talking about... with mumia abu jamal, he is a convicted cop killer, there is nothing else to it, where was the police brutality or discrimination in that?

It is about a couple of things that were listed above, but i also think it involves not settling into the conformity of society. I may be wrong but that's what i get from hearing FUCK YOU i wont do what ya tell me! anyone agree

i like how everyone makes a big deal out of the kkk. do you really think racism only comes from whites? it's funny how the ACLU doesn't give a fuck about reverse-racism directed at whites.

i think delta joy was referring to the case of amadu dialo (sp?). that would seem logical.
