re white people: nothing is inherently wrong with us, it's just sad to see that these tickets will price out a lot of people from the area. It's unfortunate but Randall's will look a lot more like Greenwich, Conn. rather than an island in the middle of NYC.

Yeah, like chronic unemployment, underemployment, lack of access to jobs, etc. Hell, I have a job and I have to plan ahead to afford to go a couple of concerts and splurge on a CD buying binge. But as long as the black people are helping me dance or giving me a soundtrack to smoke weed to, it's all good, right?

Point taken, but really, $83 is fair for this many acts. I'd assume if Rage was doing just Rage shows, those tickets would be at least 60, and I know Mos was getting 60 for shows by himself lately, so its pretty understandable. Should rappers have to charge $10 for shows because they "should" be affordable to a black, inner-city audience? Looks like the hip-hop race divide is gone, now you gotta be broke too or youre gonna get accused of co-opting another culture. Bottom line is these are all headline acts and if you wanna see somethin like that, you gotta pay for it.

yo. the only beef i got wit white people is that every fuckin white cat i know refers to it as the "Rage against the Machine show" - they don't mention the 15+ hip hop acts that are gonna be there. And that gentlemen is why I don't think you mufukas should be there.

One fact y'all may have been overlooking while getting wrapped up in the heat of biased banter and perpetuated stereotypes is that R.A.T.M. reps socio-economic equality for black people on a larger global scale than many black hip-hop artists!!! Inconsequential, but a fact....who gives a fuck if the fans are black, white, whatever??? They key is to tap every head and heart in the world with the reality and end the ignorance and insensitivity some of you are STILL displaying. I'm from Harlem, born and bred, and welcome any one to my hometown to cross the bridge and check Rage again if they ever show again, as long as they give due respect!! FREE your minds black people...rock is still yours too!!! PROVE your compassion white people...the world is your stage too!!! WAAAAAKE UUUUUUUUUUUUUPPP!!!!
