For some reason I am feeling this song today. Maybe because I've been pondering about my people this week in light of MLK Day and all.
Umi Says captivates my feelings and sentiments about my community and its current condition. What i'm so bothered by is people love to holler about change, when 40 plus years later we complain about the same things. Poverty, education and segregation, inability of upward mobility, environmental racism, prison industrial complex, welfare system and it's hindrance, absent fathers, violence, drugs, stereotypes etc., etc. etc. It's 2011 when will WE stand up and say we've had enough...
