This isn’t exactly spiritual but it’s just too good not to share.
Note: don’t read the youtube comments on this video unless you want to cry yourself to sleep tonight ( esp. if you’re black) or you need more proof that racism still exists.
lyrics:
An all white jury hides the executioner’s face See how we are, me and you? Everyone here needs to know their place Let’s keep this blackbird hidden in the flue Oh oh oh Jena, Oh oh oh Jena, Oh oh oh Jena, take your nooses down So what becomes of boys that cannot think straight. Particularly those with paper bag skin. Yes sir, no sir we’ll wipe that smile right off your face. We’ve got our rules here and you must fit in. Oh oh oh Jena, Oh oh oh Jena, Oh oh oh Jena, take your nooses down. Some day some way sanity will prevail. But who knows when that day might come. A shot in the dark, well it just might find its way to the hearts of those that hold the keys to kingdom come. Oh oh oh Jena, Oh oh oh Jena, Oh oh oh Jena, take those nooses down. Oh oh hey Jena, Oh oh Jena, Oh oh Jena, take your nooses down. Take those nooses all down.

The Jena boycott was and will be benificial
short term and for the long term if it leads
to organized injustice reporting and lawsuits.
A Christmas boycott will bring home the
message that injustice will not be tolerated
and action will be taken. With the fear of
lead based toys and foods loaded with who knows
what is in it; makes it easy for people to
stop buying.
I would like to see a worldwide organnized
movement to identify and report. Things like
sending our youth to jail for having teanage
sex, when a white youngster was arrested for
the offense. The law was changed.
All organizations representing blacks should
work together with oneness. It is confusing
for the people to think when the media is
telling them that one black is good and the
other is bad. The messages are brainwashing
to those who know BS when they hear it.
