“The problem isn’t the protests, it’s what they’re protesting about,” Macklemore raps in his new song. “It goes against what our country is financing,” he explains in the song, which in just a few hours has already obtained more than 260,000 views on YouTube alone.
“We will never accept defeat when freedom is on the horizon. But the music industry is silent. “He is complicit in his platform of silence,” denounces Macklemore, who became famous the previous decade for songs like Can’t Hold Us or Thrift Shop.
He also points out American politicians and declares that he does not plan to vote for Joe Biden in the presidential elections next November, according to the lyrics of the new song reproduced by RollingStone magazine. Local media point out that he is the first American musical artist to openly condemn Joe Biden’s Democratic Government’s support for Israel and to support the student protests that have taken place in more than fifty universities in the country in recent weeks.
The protesters, who have maintained camps for weeks on the facilities of the centers and have even occupied some of their buildings, ask that American universities stop investing in companies linked to Israel. Many of the protests and camps organized by university students were broken up by the police, who have arrested more than 2,300 people related to these incidents.
