No Lives Matter

[StudentMI]

Has anyone heard this great song by Body Count? I feel like it hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. Unfortunately I can’t post it as there are quite a few obscenities, but if you haven’t heard it I recommend it.

At first, I thought “oh no, now someone is going too far in the other direction”.

Lol no it’s just a song. Not a misanthrope myself.

But honestly it ain’t just black,
It’s yellow, it’s brown, it’s red,
It’s anyone who ain’t got cash,
Poor whites that they call trash.

When it comes to the poor,
No lives matter.

Lol it is a metal song after all.

But honestly it ain’t just black,
It’s yellow, it’s brown, it’s red,
It’s anyone who ain’t got cash,
Poor whites that they call trash.

When it comes to the poor,
No lives matter.

There’s some truth in that. In many other ways as well, human life and living are not given the respect they are due.

That’s a song for today, for sure. USA is in a Civil War which has numerous factions battling it out. But the simplest to see is the Have Nots versus the Haves. Those who feel no lives matter =
This Song

Another good one is Pawn in Their Game by Bob Dylan.
