Kendrick Lamar feat. Javonte - Uncle Bobby and Jason Keaton
I've been waiting for a song that connects the personal experiences of Black men entrapped in the prison system with the larger social practices that perpetuates that entrapment. The beauty of the this song lies in his approach; pure honesty. The way he depicts the decisions his family members made yet realizes and comes to an understanding of the structures that disproportionately place Black men in jail personifies the complex duality of analyzing crime. The national dialogue regarding crime is consistently the predator frame that alleviates collective responsibility but Lamar obviously understands that the structural impediments are dire and a consciousness of these impediments must steer our actions and decisions with greater importance so no one ever enters those prison walls.
Below is an American Gangster episode on J. Edgar Hoover. Educate yourself in order to act against generations of injustices and guide those susceptible of sacrificing their purpose.
