interesting topic...

I want you to think about both of these songs: This is America by Childish Gambino

Im Not Racist by Joyner Lucas

Explanation:

These songs both had political backgrounds and influences. ((I advise you to do some googling on their meanings, I am going off somewhat on my own))

This is America was based off America's stereotypes and had metaphors about race and gun violence. He used his music platform to inform the world about the violence around them and his about his violent contradictions about being black in America.

Here is a link for a break down of the music video : https://time.com/5267890/childish-gambino-this-is-america-meaning/ (I don't know if it is an reliable source b/c media outlets are biased sometimes)

I'm not Racist is a song that was written about the state of race relations in America and how far apart blacks and whites are in how they see things in America. He used his platform to show the world the mindsets of specifics races (whites and blacks) to one another in their own county. "First, the white man unloads his frustrations and his views on Black Lives Matter, the NFL anthem protests. There are even potshots taken against 2Pac and Eminem.

Then the black man reacts. He takes on white privilege, cultural appropriation, and attacks against former President Barack Obama." - CNN news paper. And thrroughout the song both of the men insist "I'm not Racist".

Here is a link for the break down of the music video: https://www.cnn.com/2017/11/29/entertainment/joyner-lucas-not-racist-video-trnd/index.html (Please note that media outlets like these can be biased and CNN has been known to be biased so use caution and double check your info.)

Both of these men used the music platform to spread awareness of the political matters of the people in the United States.

-Hope I helped.

Read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." and indeed there will be time to wonder, “do i dare? ” and, “do i dare? ” time to turn back and descend the stair, with a bald spot in the middle of my hair— [they will say: “how his hair is growing thin! ”] my morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, my necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin— [they will say: “but how his arms and legs are thin! ”] do i dare disturb the universe? in a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. which lines indicate that the speaker is concerned about what others think of him?

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
