Our progressive Generation

"I take my case to trial, hire the Dream Team Robbie Kardashian, Johnnie Cochran, I seen things"
 Ali Bomaye,  Game ft 2 chains and Rick Ross

 The quote above is from a very popular rap song called Ali Bomaye. I quoted this line because I think its a good example of pop culture that affects us in a anti racist way. It's clear that our generation is very progressive and has been breaking rules from gay marriage to marijuana. I believe a huge part of why our generation is so progressive is because of our love for rap music which is made by people who have experienced the hardships that we are trying to understand. Not all rap music is made by African Americans who have had to deal with slavery and racism in their past and not all people in our generation listen and enjoy rap music, but its obvious that these ways of expressing oneself has effected a majority of us and the way we think. There are a plethora of songs like the one above that address the issues of racism or sexism and influence our way of thinking. There are multiple factors as to why our generation is trying to change the past and improve the future, but I believe a big part of why we began to do this has to do with the music we grew up with and the music we currently enjoy.
