Cover art for Killing In The Name lyrics by Rage Against the Machine

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?
