This goes without saying, but within the past year, the prominence of injustice within America against black Americans has truly risen to social media and that much has been depicted in the form for which we’ve been accustomed to seeing. It has risen to just law, and it has scattered communities, tarnished lives and left many families broken. The resonance of Sound’s initial purpose was to bring the locked away to the forefront, and issues as such fall into such category for which it is our duty to report something as this when a fantastic art collection such as this one of BC Kingdom displays such courage. It shows in depth bravery, enlightenment, love and emotion in emulating the very emotion that many seem to have become numbed to. It speaks of being heard, it speaks of being hard and it speaks of being broken. It speaks of the blacks and whites of America being filled in for in a place as colorful as this, there is no need to be colorblind.
According to div17‘s article, institutionalized racism is very much alive. It is very much so prevalent to the statistics that have been marginally calculated by mass incarceration and wrongful death based on case of race. The concentration of races into ghettos and the constant policing of those areas is a prime example as to what is and what has exactly taking place. Everything we are seeing now is a repetition of history. Have a look at the article and in peace we ask that you stay aware.
