40 y/o white guy: Hey kid, ever hear about Rage Against the Machine? They really told it like it is! Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me!
me: Zack de la Rocha is Mexican Tom Morello is black Brad Wilk is jewish
40 y/o white guy: blue lives matter
RATM: Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
40 y/o white guy that claims he likes RATM: blue lives matter
Was it Paul Ryan that claimed to be a RATM fan? Like, nationally? In public? On TV? And then RATM came out and shut him down?

Also I totally remembered this exchange:
The band is called Rage Against THE MACHINE
Do these fuckers think that they just don’t like that one shirtless guy’s standup bit???? What do they think THE LITERAL MACHINE IN THE FUCKING NAME is?
As A Straight White Male™ I was genuinely surprised when I went back and listened to all the RATM songs I’d grown up with only to discover they were about racism, oppression, and social justice and not about me telling my parents I didn’t want to clean my room or do homework
