Sho Baraka – Jim Crow [audio]
“N**** island is a place where oppression, ignorance and mis-education is celebrated and propagated. Racial self loathing is masked with satire and wit. It’s a place where the exceptional die and mediocrity is contagious. Escape is recommend but highly dangerous.” – Jon Parker
For centuries racial tension has been the elephant in America’s living room. Many choose to ignore the pain and injustice around them. Some reproduce this culture of ignorance because of mis-education. How can we have reasonable discussions on these issues that lead to healthy relationships and understanding? First we must not be afraid to bring to light the many obstacles that plague our society. Jim Crow is that very song. It is a shout from the auction blocks against the apathy of today’s pseudo post-racial society. It’s a challenge to both the majority and minority.
