This song is about Racism and how the "law" tries to correct it, It is clear to see this in the line "why hold down one, to raise another" Affirmative action as it is called is based on a quota system of sorts....
Say for example, Harvard university get 100 applications a year..... 12 from black and 82 from white......
According to affirmative action They must accept 1 black student for every 9 White students thye accept..... even if all of the blacks are ranked in the lowest 12 of the applicants...
So because of that, smarter white people ( just saying that for this Example, Believe me I hate racism...) sometimes get rejected for a black person who is less capable for the position...
Regardless if you agree or disagree Hate creed or love creed, I cannot see how you can hate this song, I am a die-hard Pearl Jam fan and I can Still enjoy this song, because it seems to be so pure, Society needs to be blind to color as opposed to by color....
I love this song,.....
But much of the rest of everything by creed save for a few songs.... I dislike....
