    While LA rap-rock group Rage Against the Machine’s 1992 debut ‘Killing in the Name of’ was a violent and highly relevant criticism of police brutality, it failed to make the charts in the United States, perhaps due to its rough, unedited sound (Grow, 2012). Conversely, KRS-One’s ‘Sound of da Police’ was a resounding hit, reaching number seventeen on the billboard top 100 in 1994 due to its resonation with many listeners (Billboard, n.d.). Lyrics such as ‘The officer has the right to arrest / And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest’ voiced the fear of police brutality that was prevalent in much of the nation following the Rodney King case, particularly among people of color (Burdon, Chandler, Lemay, Lomax, & Parker, 1993). The lyrics also draw comparisons between police officers and plantation overseers, alluding to a view that black individuals did not yet consider themselves free during this time period.…

    Jenee Desmond – Harris wrote an article called “Tupac and My Non-thug Life,” which was published in an online article called The Root. The title of this article seems very contradictory and that is because it is. This article is about how Desmond – Harris, as a young privileged half white, half black teenage girl, finds herself trying to embody Tupac after his death. The contradiction of this is that Desmond-Harris did not relate to Tupac in the ways of how they grew up. Desmond – Harris had yet to confront any of life’s hard edges when Tupac had passed.…

    I have felt many pressures, race is such a big problem among black people but as community can get over the hump of being pressured into a few stereotypes. From my own personal experience being a young black man growing up in many places of black being the majority such as Detroit, Chicago, New York I felt an amazing amount of comfort around these areas.
