People arent stepping back and looking at the TIME this record was made, and the CIRCUMSTANCES in which it was made.
In the early 90s, we all know south central was a crazy place, tensions were really high. And in the midst of all that, you have these asian families, who move to america, in a 98% black inner city neighborhood. This is a clash waiting to happen..
The asian families in the inner city didnt like blacks for the most part, they were distrustful of us, we were distrustful of them. there was no attempt on either side to understand each other. there were all kind of barriers up (language, culture etc)
Black korea was a song made at the height of frustration, he was the voice for all of the people who felt like this. This song was made BEFORE the riots...
and when the riots happened, look at all the asian owned establishments that got torn down, that was unfortunate... but it affirms that black korea was a warning message of how the mistrust and miscommunication was gonna lead to something bad.
