Equality

Music...  It's something that is universal to the human spirit.  Across all cultures and in all races there is music.

 

In these turbulent times, lets take a queue from something that we all have in common - How our music represents the subculture that we come from.

 

As we discuss which lives matter and which lives don't, what is the music from each of those subcultures telling us about where they come from and how they are treated?

 

 

When all the music from all the subcultures is about "good stuff" like falling in love, dancing, losing relationships, striving for equality, etc. then we will have true equality.  Until then we should continue to strive for what we as human beings knows is right/just.  Will it ever be perfect?  No.  But it can surely be a lot better than it is right now.

 

When the music of a subculture is no longer about violence and hate, you can be assured that the subculture in question is seeing the right behaviors from others to feel "equal".  Until that time, I will continue to stamp out hate and violence in my own heart, so that I can treat others with true equality.
