Our country is suffering through 2 pandemics. There is, unsurprisingly, an abundance of distractions. The music and entertainment industry is partially responsible. The appearance of solidarity is not always what it seems. We must remain diligent and focused.

Corrections:

Intro —Zach is a drummer for the band Caused BY Carelessness but Cause Carelessness

Unplugged —Loveland Foundation, not Organization. Clearly, when I speak of the white artists who made a statement of solidarity, that does not include H.E.R., who is a Black artist, very about the empowerment of Black people. Definitely listen to “I Can’t Breathe.”

Uncharted —Mike Brown was murdered by former Ferguson police officer, Darren Wilson, in 2014, not 2015
