Showed this spoken word to my Race, Ethnicity, and Power class today, as part of our class discussion on the police and industrial prison system. Looking around the classroom while this played, I could tell they loved it. Especially the professor. This class is the only good thing about my Tuesdays and Thursdays.

On another note, I fear that my first year of college education has led me to become a very radical thinker. The type that stands on the street corner in her turban, flowing dress, and tribal necklaces, megaphone in one hand, fliers in the other, preaching to passers-by about "the system."

But then again, I think it's not so bad. Has anyone seen Erykah Badu's new music video for "Window Seat?" It gets you thinking.
