What's the science behind why your brain will not allow you to forget a strong musical memory even when we grow old? Why the song "I'm not racist" by Joyner Lucas will trigger the event that it it related to. Songs play an important role in people's lives. They tend to take one back to a time in life that had meaning to them. For me “I'm Not Racist by Joyner Lucas really hits me in a special way. The song is relevant today and that's why I'm thinking about the song. Throughout this global protest some one-sided groups were more pitiful that properties were destroyed more than a life was taken. In this song it made a reference that a deadbeat father rather be absent in their child’s life than pay their bills. The one reason why they are high crime rates is from families that are living in a single parent household. The white man in the song said we should stop talking about slavery because majority of us wasn’t there experiencing firsthand and to move on we should forget about the past. The black man said even though we didn’t experience it firsthand, we have an older generation that did. We’re experiencing the aftermath of slavery such as racial discrimination and if we forget the past, we might repeat it. The white man is conservative because he believes the positions people put themselves in because they choose to be there and they’ve to get themselves out of harm's way. The men in the song blame each other's races instead of their own race. The white man in the song claims that he’s not racist because he has friends that are different races, that’s not always true. The song makes a reference that some people have idols that have a similar background as them. The black man indirectly asks how he can be successful when racist people run this country and judge him by his skin color and not by his character. The black man claims that the guy’s culture steals his culture and makes it their own. I was listening to the song by myself while doing my schoolwork when I first heard the song. The song spoke to me because of the police brutality on African Americans. I discuss the meaning of the song with my friends and co-workers. We express how we interpret the song; I interpret the song as how we feel about each other race. My friends and co-workers agree with me. I don’t have to personally know George Floyd to know the grief of what family is going through in the public eye. I was home when I was listening to this song when the first images of tragedy went viral. My favorite three lines of that song are “Screaming "All Lives Matter" is a protest to “Black Lives Matter” because if all lives matter, they wouldn’t be a black lives matter protest campaign. My other favorite line from that song is “It's like we livin' in the same buildin' but split into two floors”, I interpret that as we’ve different skin colors, but we bleed the same blood. My last favorite line from that song is “But there's two sides to every story, I wish that I knew yours” because it states that we must be open minded about listening to what the other person has to say and not being a critic. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of George Floyd and other victims like him.
