Jasiri X
Pittsburgh based artist/ activist Jasiri X is always on time with a compelling song and riveting video to speak to the issues confronting us in the Black community and beyond. His music is uncompromising. His commitment to justice is unwavering..In recent weeks we’ve seen some disturbing incidents where unarmed Black folks were shot and killed as they sought help after being in car accidents. That was the case of Renisha McBride and Jonathan Ferrell. In the case of Kendrick Johnson, he was killed in a room full of people at his school gym and yet no one knows nothing …
This song which does what kanye West should’ve ideally did with his song of the same title, Strange Fruit is dedicated to the memories of Renisha McBride, Jonathan Ferrell and Kendrick Johnson, Strange Fruit (Class of 2013) was produced by Religion and directed by Haute Muslim.
When is enough going to be enough? How many more of our brothers and sisters have to die before we challenge the system? It is so disheartening to witness how black folks die in the streets at the hands of blacks and whites. We have to wake up!!!
Well said! This is so sad and it won’t stop till we stand together & stop killing each other
