Why does it still keep happening? Where is the change? To me it seems that even though people claim the times have changed, history keeps repeating itself. I realized this during out Thursday discussion, where we all shared a song we chose to coincide with the unit. There are so many artists singing/rapping about the same things, and they haven't changed what so ever. The same disrespectful, unequal, and harsh living conditions... Whether we look back to the 1900's and take a look at some songs like Mississippi Goddam by Nina Simone, or Black and Blue Louis Armstrong, who sang about their experiences of the oppression and injustices. Or if its more current songs by artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, or Childish Gambino. The message hasn't changed... They still sing/rap about the racial injustices, like police brutality, or gun violences, but also focusing on civil rights. Even though lots of actions for the past many years have been taken in order to change that, as evident by the songs, it is still happening all the time.
