However black music is always changing. We went from slave or work songs that sang about our freedom or helped us escape to songs about love and heart break and civil issues with race.
Music was an escape for us and our sensuality and poetry lyrics have made our soulfulness highly celebrated.
In our society today black men, women, and children have been subjected to hate crimes and unarmed death by white officers. It is scary to think that you can get shot for walking home, complying with officers, selling cds, or letting someone know you have asthma. People see black and are afraid because we don't dress alike or sound the same or wear our hair like other people. We are different and we are being persecuted for it.
