Another important thing to remember in this sweet analogy is that the lighter that needs help is doing their best to get things going. From my own personal experience, the other lighter can only help get you burnin on the strict condition that you continue to press on. BUT they can only wait for so long before they begin burning themselves for YOU. So…help yourself first, and then when the time comes, you’ll be strong and ready to help others. I believe that if we do this, we’re all covered. ❤️

u/c1ng3d Aug 04 '21
I didn’t ever really understand them either, until I saw a family member essentially give up. I had to come to the realization that for my own sanity I can offer help, but if he’s not going to keep going afterwards it’s kinda pointless for me to bend over backwards. When I heard this song again as an adult there was an immediate resonance of, “Yeah, I know exactly what he’s talking about”.
No clue if that’s what it’s intended to mean, but it’s what it means to me. I’m glad somebody else can get something out of my weird thought processes.

u/moosikerin Aug 04 '21
I’m sorry you experienced that. That must have been very difficult, but yeah, sometimes you’ve got to draw a line somewhere. This has made me realize I really need to go back and listen to that album. I don’t think I have in my adulthood. I’m sure I’d have a new appreciation for it.

You get raised by and around people with shitty values you often end up with those values yourself. Not always true, and that's not a defense of shitty views and actions, but I've met lots of seemingly genuinely nice people who hold some crazy beliefs because of how they were raised/ the culture and community that has surrounded them their whole lives. Hope Mr. Cooley can change his views, I know he got a fuckton of backlash for that video, but unfortunately it's pretty unlikely.
Edit: Looks like he's made a bit of a change, talks about not judging people by color or religion in this video from a year ago For reference the Obama tirade was over 5yrs ago and has been deleted from his channel.

u/Liefblue Aug 05 '21
What is this? A reasonable reaction where someone actually tried to view the situation from the other person's perspective without overlaying it with the lens of their own experiences and morality? Are you telling me you didn't immediately condemn someone just because they were raised in circumstances outside their own control, which led to them having poor judgement?
But how are we supposed to stop Racism if we are so open-minded and understanding? It's not like those are the exact attributes which supposedly create, uphold and encourage equality in the first place.
Damm you Max, i wanted to react with my emotions and claim moral superiority with my hypocrisy.

Bro, it's pretty tough to go from "Obama is a Muslim (demonstrably false) agent literally intentionally getting American soldiers killed (slander)" to any redeeming position within a year.
Like, maybe if he said something that was just generically racist, then got bashed for it, met some people different from him, and realized he'd be lied to... that one be one thing.
This is and always has been off-the-deep-end conspiracy theory shit and we have to stop pretending it isn't.

TLDW: "If you see someone walking down the road because they car broke down, I hope that you wouldn't care what color they was, I hope that you wouldn't stop and ask what religion they was. Or who they was gonna vote for. We should see someone who is in pain and having and a bad day and automatically want to help them, because they are the same being as we are."
I saw a couple of his videos a few years back and was delighted, then was heartbroken when I saw that tirade against Obama and stopped watching any of his content. Just went searching through his more recent stuff and found this, not sure if he ever addressed or apologized for the Obama video though.
It's worth noting that the Obama video is not on his channel, whether that's because of backlash or he's genuinely changed, who knows.
