2683586, somebody gotta make some songs about Black folks getting killed

i mean this thing in tulsa is just scary and wrong and i remember 20 years ago the rodney king verdict and songs and whatnot came out left and right, then onto the Sean bell verdict,etc..

Treyvon martin and hopefully this latest one will make artists step up and speak on it.

Racism is as ugly as ever and Music has to be the forum to address it and I hope somebody will speak on it and not back down.

missing those days of when a song came out right after something went down and folks were on it.
