A RARE look at Merle Haggard in the studio. Thom Bresh shot this electro-film while "Hag" was recording this song. This is NOT a studio mix. It is RAW, just as it came down on the session. It's incredible to watch him deliver the lyrics. This song was thought, by the record label, to be too controversial to be included on his CD. Isn't that called "Censorship"? It is pure, honest, 100% Haggard..

and you should stop being so self important by being proud of the accomplishments of "white people" and do something that YOU can be proud of. why ride on someone's coat tails unless you dont have anything yourself to offer. i donno, "white" is just too far of a margin to be like "oh im proud of the things white people have done" haha

And you know what?!?!? I DONT CHECK THE RACE BOX!!! Because im not white, im ITALIAN! and because people like you have started with this whole "white race" nonsense and have obliterated the importance of heritage. yeah sure i cant know my "true" ethnicity because most of us, yep even white ppl like you, have lineage that can be traced to Africa. so yeah :) no one CAN know their true ethnicity. :D

not putting words into the mouth, and i said in most cases when people say black pride they dont mean it to be above. and im not saying that white people always mean it either. allllls im sayin is this: black pride is more associated with trying to be equal, and white pride was pretty much originally from nazi types and existed BEFORE black pride was allowed to be said. now while thats not always true about how a person intends it, i personally would not want to use a term associated with hate.

I appreciate your insight and I also appreciate when someone such as yourself has an intelligent conversation about something such as you have done. Thanks for that... Usually people on youtube are just trolling. Thanks for the conversation.

When you say that saying one is proud to be white is carrying a connotation that "white" is better, it seems to be putting words into the mouth of the person who used the phrase. One cannot be certain what reasons any given person may say what they say. A black person could just as easily say "black power or black pride" with the intent that black is better than white. It's all just words, the true intent of the words is specific to the individuals reasons for saying what they say.

joslyn shut up there isnt a such thing as african american theyre both nationalities dumb ass. whites spread themselves across the world .its impossible to know ones true ethnicity and if you fill out an application when they ask for race they dont give you the option of irish ,scottish,or german.its white black etc.so quit trying to educate people with stupidity.i belong to the white race and im proud of its accomplishments

because Black could be interchanged with African American and plus because people throw around "white" so freely instead of being more ethnicity-specific, Black-empowering phrases usually aren't intended to indicate that a black person is better because of their race but rather it's used in an attempt to gain equality. white pride carries the connotation that "white" is "better" based on skin colour alone.

ok then, why do we accept terms such as black pride, black power, black is beautiful so on and so forth. I agree with what you said but there can not be a double standard....

i had this discussion with someone not long ago. its different if someone says "im proud to be irish" or "im proud to be italian" than just saying white. when i put it like that they said it made sense. because white doesnt denote lineage, it denotes skin colour.

white isnt an ethnicity so technically you cant be proud of your white race. maybe irish or english or something like that. otherwise it doesnt make much sense.

being proud to be white is just stupid cos its not a race its just a colour. im proud to be Italian, thatz where its at. white's alright but Italian is BETTER ;) why u gotta hate on ppl cos of their race?
